Abbey POV
Henry graduated yesterday, and it was a memorable day, both our families together as if there was no bad blood between them. It was absolutely incredible. I can’t even believe that is happening. Roxy came along to the event, and later on, Richie appeared, and I could see they broken up. I feel bad for Richie. He was completely crazy about her, but Roxy played with his heart and Leo’s, and now she is alone. Leo found someone that didn’t want to hide him. Roxy left early, and I have to say I am extremely disappointed in her. She tried to talk to Richie, trying to get back with him, but he said no, he loved her too much for all the pain she put him through. I really don’t blame him. You probably think I am a hypocrite because I forgave Henry for everything that happened between us, but at the end of the day, our love is unique, and I have never loved anyone the way I love him, and I know he feels the same. It was a mistake, a one time mistake that he made, while Roxy

Henry POV Today is our wedding day. It’s been four years since I proposed to Abbey and she said yes. A lot has happened sine then. We have grown up a lot together, we have been enjoying life together while she finished university and we ended up moving to London, Abbey found an amazing job opportunity there and I dropped everything to follow her. Luckily the company I work for has a company in London and I was sent there. I honestly can’t believe how perfect our life is. I am extremely nervous to see her as I stand here at the altar. We are having a small ceremony as we didn’t want anything big. From my family only mum, my brother and their plus ones were invited. I made sure to leave the Payne behind and I don’t care for any of them, If they find out I got married is their problem. Since everything that happened none of them made the effort to try and contact me, and honestly I think it was for the best becaus
Abbey POV“MUM, MUUUUUUUM” I scream from the top of my lungs, and I can hear her running up the stairs with dad following her.“What happened? Are you hurt?” she says almost breathless as she opens my bedroom door. Dad stops right behind her with his hand on his chest, trying to catch his breath.“You’re getting old, dad”, I say jokingly, and he gives me a stern look that breaks as soon as I offer him one of my biggest smiles.“What happened?” Dad asks, “Why were you screaming the house down?” he keeps asks as they both take a couple of steps into my room.“I got into Oxford University”, I say, and mum starts to cry immediately as dad walks to me with open arms, and I hug him tightly.“Oh baby, I am so proud of you”, dad says, kissing the top of my head. He is a lot taller than me. I am just a little bit taller than mum, a couple of inc
Henry POVSummer has been boring as hell. I have spent it in London, but the weather has been terrible. I decided I would go to Spain for two weeks but only went for a weekend because mum needed me. Dad has spent his entire time working as usual, and my brother spent more time with my mother than he did at home. You see, my parents got divorced five years ago. Mum met a guy that gave her the attention she deserved and dumped my dad. I honestly don’t blame her. He was a dick towards her, and she deserved to be loved, something he never did.I don’t think the man is capable of love at all; I know he loves my brother and me, but besides us, he loves himself and his money; he loves his job and freedom. The guy is a player, and because I am the son of Harry Payne, everyone expects me to be like him. The difference between us is that I actually care about school work. Don’t get me wrong, I like to have fun and have my bit of fun with the la
Abbey POVMum and dad just left to go home, don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with them, but they can be a little embarrassing, they have no boundaries, and they have no sense of leaving me alone to enjoy my time before class start.“There’s a party today. Do you want to go?” Roxie asks and I nod my head, why not, it’s been a while that uses been to a party, the last one was in Milan. I went with Francesca and Mario. We partied for forty wight hours and then we got the jet back home.“Where is it?”, I ask, and Roxie tells me that it is at some rich boy house. Apparently she likes to be well connected and only hangs at rich people’s places, great.One hour before the party, Roxie walks into my bedroom, and she is wearing a black silky dress that hugs all her curves, she looks me up and dow
Henry POVI am running late for my first class, I guess having a random one night stand wasn’t a good idea on a school night. Yeah she was hot and she took my mind away from the blue eyes that kept invading my mind. I had to hook up with this girl because I couldn’t keep the girl away from my mind, it was the first time a girl said no to me, I didn’t even get the chance to introduce myself that she turned me down. I slide out of the bed grabbing my clothes that are scattered around the floor and I grab her knickers by mistake. I smile at myself taking a mental note about how sexy that girl is, what was her name again? I can’t remember, I put my t-shirt on and she hugs me from behind. Her hands going up and down my stomach and reaching for the button of my jeans.“Are you sure you have to go?”, what’s her name asks
Abbey POV As I sit in class I can’t make myself focus. My heart is beating fast, and I can’t help myself to stop smiling. What is going on with me? Freaking hell Abbey, what the hell is wrong with you? He is just a stuck up asshole. Why are you allowing yourself to think about him. I shake my head, and I try to focus on the class, but I honestly can’t. I start doodling on my notebook while the professor starts talking. “Miss Hardy?” I hear someone say, and I lift my head looking at the professor. Shit. “Oh, sorry”, I let out, and everyone turns around looking at me. I feel my cheeks getting hot. Fuck you, Henry. I think to myself. “If you think that this class is not important, maybe you should give your place to someone that actually wants to learn?” the professor says, and I dig myself down on my chair. Shit, already being scolded in my first class. “I’m sorry”, I let out.
Henry POV Tonight the biggest party of the year is taking place at one of my dad’s restaurants. Every year we throw a welcome to Oxford party and it’s always insane, we always use the back room in one of his restaurants. Everyone enjoys and has become sort of a tradition. I am not looking forward to it. I don’t even know if the invite got to Abbey. I sent the invite this morning just after her first class when she disappeared on me, and then it didn’t help that I was hugging my cousin in the corridor. I bet Abbey thought she was some random hook up. I take a deep breath as I get out of the shower. I put on my black ripped jeans and a grey t-shirt. I pull my hair back and I look at myself in the mirror, I offer myself a big smile and I grab my leather jacket. Alex and Richie are already wait
Abbey POV I walk back to Roxy that is now near the bar talking to a guy. I walk behind her and whisper in her ear that I’m calling an Uber and going home. She asks me if I want her to come with me but I tell her no, she’s having fun and she might even end up having some sex, I tell her that I will send her my live location and she agrees. I call my Uber and I go outside once it arrives. As I am about to open the door Henry appears next to me. “Where are you going?”, he asks and I look at him feeling self conscious for the first time. He’s looking so sexy, sweat dripping from his hair as he holds his jacket on his left hand and hold the car door with his right hand. “Going home”, I tell him and he nods his head opening the door for me, I get in the car waiting for him to slam the door on my face but he tells me to scoot over, I do as he tells me and he sits next to me. I look at him but he closes the door and tells the driver he can st

Henry POV Abbey is coming out of the hospital today and I am making sure that everything is ready for her to come home. Leo gave me the key to their house and allowed me to move in with them. I haven’t actually told Abbey yet, but my financial circumstances are a little different right now. I am not using my dad’s money and I am definitely not using his name to get away with things. I finish making the bed with fresh bedding and I look around proud of my achievement. Her room looks and smells clean, everything is tidy and I have her favourite things on hand. I even got a mini fridge to have in her room in case she wants a cold drink and to have some milk as I got a kettle to have here as well if she wants a cup of tea while I am at work. I have a part-time job at a publishing company, I just deliver mail, b ut hey, we need to start somewhere and I am going to prove myself and make my way up. After all I am a studying business and I already have some ideas tha
Abbey POV “Henry”, I let out as soon as Leo walks out of the door. My heart is beating fast, and I am extremely confused. I know I like Henry, and apparently I liked him more than I ever thought it was possible. Unfortunately I can’t remember anything. I take a deep breath as I see him walking slowly towards the bed where I am laying down. He looks so sexy that it is making my mouth water. “I don’t want you nowhere near that guy”, Henry says, and I shake my head. Even though I understand why he doesn’t want me near Harry, I have to ask him why he did it, why he made his own sun suffer so much, how could he make his son miserable? Does he only love himself? Doesn’t he care about anyone else? “Henry, please”, I say, and he shakes his head while he wraps his fingers around mine and takes my hand to his mouth. My stomach is full of butterflies, and I feel like a youn
Henry POV I open my eyes and I feel like I have slept like a baby, I can’t remember the last time I had a good night sleep like this. I take a deep breath and I stretch my arms above my head and I can hear my bedroom door opening. “How did you sleep?”, mum asks walking in with a tray and it smells so good that makes my mouth get full of saliva. “Like a baby, thanks for last night mum”, I say as she places the tray on my legs after I sit up on the bed. Mum kisses the top of my head and assures me that that’s what mum’s do. If it is or not I am extremely grateful that she spent the night here giving me cuddles and strength to move on with my life and forget the hell my dad put me and Abbey through. “Come on, have something to eat and then have a shower, you have a girlfriend to go visit”, mum says as she walks out of the room. I look at the tray and smile. She made me a bacon sandwich with brown sauce, orange juice and coffee. She really does know me. A
Abbey POV "Mum, please stop crying. I am fine", I let out, but she kept caressing my cheeks and looking at me as if she would never be able to look at me again. "Do you need anything", Dad asks kissing the top of my head as soon as he walks back into the room. I look at the door, but Henry doesn't follow him. "Where's Henry?" I ask, and dad looks back at the closed door. "He was gonna make some phone calls, and then he will be here", Dad replies, and I look at the door. I don't know why I have this horrible feeling he shouldn't be outside. He needs to be next to me. I know we have only just started dating, and we don\t really know each other, but I can't think straight being away from him. Mum and dad stand next to me when I ask them again what happened, but they keep giving me vague answers, as in I was in a car crash. I try and remember why I would've been in a car, but I really can't, making me stressed. "Thank god
Henry POV “Hey”, he says and I am not willing to talk. I pull him into the room and lock the door behind me. “Henry, mate, so glad to see you’re okay”, Alex let out and I can’t help but punch him in his face. Alex falls back on his ass and his nose starts blurting out blood straight away. “Hey, get up”, I say and he looks at me while he is holding his nose with both of his hands. “You broke my nose”, he spits out “You’re lucky if that’s the only thing I am breaking today”, I let out while I pull him up by his t-shirt. I shove him against the wall and his eyes are wide up. “Fight me you coward”, I shout in his face. “I am not fighting you”, Alex says trying to walk past me but I punch him on his side straight into his ribs making him bend over and fall on his knees on the floor. “Fuck you”, I let out. “Henry, mate”, Alex says as he coughs. “I am not your mate, I am your worst nightmare”, I say lif
Henry POV “Oh, thank fuck, you’re awake”, I let out as soon as Abbey’s eyes open. I have never been so happy to look into those beautiful eyes. “What happened?”, She whispers, and I can’t help but let a tear escape my eyes. It’s not my place to explain to Abbey what happened, and I feel guilty as it is for her having to go through what she did with my dad, and I wasn’t there to protect her. I tell her I will go get the nurse and her parents, and she doesn’t protest about it. As they all chat, I keep my distance, but I keep my eyes on Abbey. I don’t think I will ever be able to get away from her, and I want to be next to her for the rest of my life. These last couple of days have been hell for me. Being awake and not being able to do anything to bring her back to me was slowly driving me insane. The doctor asks us to leave, and I don’t want to, but Devin gives me a small nod, and I follow him out. He has been through hell, and you can see on his face.
Abbey POV I open my eyes, and my head is aching, making it worse with the light. I shut them straight away, and I rub my head. Slowly I open my eyes, and I can see Henry sitting next to me with his hands on his head. I look around, and I don’t recognise the room I am in. It’s all white and bright. Where am I? “Oh, thank fuck you’re awake”, I hear Henry say, and I look at him. Worry is plastered all over his face, and his beautiful blue eyes look tired. He has dark circles around them as he holds my hand tightly between his. “What happened?” I ask Henry, that has now a tear rolling down his cheek. “I’ll go get the nurse and your parents”, Henry says, giving my hand a slight squeeze. I nod slightly, but it sends pain shooting up my head. I start to feel dizzy and like I am about to throw up. The nurse walks in as soon as Henry presses the nurse button, and she smiles, looking at me. “Hello Abbey, how are you feeling?”, She asks as she st
