Harry POV
My name is Harry Payne, I am the CEO of Payne enterprise. I am thirty-four years old and I don’t have time to date. Hell, I barely have time to breathe, let alone date.
My work is a priority. My family expect great things from me and I comply with that. I am extremely hard-Woking and focused.
I ended a serious relationship three years ago when I found that she was cheating on me with my best friend. That’s when I focused hard on growing my company.
My family is extremely wealthy and I grew up attending the best schools with the best teachers and programs. I learned languages and literature, maths and science but I never really learned to socialise. That happened when I attended University.
Those were the best years of my life. I had the freedom to find myself and be whomever I wanted to be. I didn’t have the pressure to be the next in line to take over the company.
I have an older brother Harold and a younger sister Helena. Typical. Three kids, all with the same letter start on their name. We couldn’t be more different from each other. Harold turned forty this year. He is a corporate lawyer, a man of the family. He is married with three beautiful children. Does he actually love his wife? No. He married her because of status and to please our mother. Something I promised I would never do.
Helena is the rebel, she is twenty-four and she decided she didn’t want to go to university, she wanted to be an artist and as she is the youngest and the only girl my parents allowed her to do whatever she wants. Helena has several boyfriends but none of them sticks around. Why would that be?
I never really felt loved. My parents don’t understand that concept as they got married because of an arrangement made by their parents.
I do believe they like each other otherwise the marriage wouldn’t have lasted long.
As a middle child, I lacked the attention both my siblings had. I always tried to keep myself out of trouble but trouble always seemed to find me.
Now here I am. Hiring a girlfriend from an escort agency to take Italy to attend my cousin’s wedding.
As I explained before I don’t have time to date, and I need someone to attend this disastrous wedding with me. So I decided to hire someone for the job.
“Elite escorting agency?” - I hear a girl on the other side of the phone
“Good morning, I would like to speak to Miss Karen?” - I say
“Who should I announce?” - she asks
“Harry Payne” - I say
“Mr Payne, I’ll pass you through, One moment please” - the girl says
“Hello, this is Karen speaking” - I hear
“Karen, this is Harry, Harry Payne” - I say
“Hello darling, how have you been?” - she asks
Karen was a university friend. She became an escort to pay for her bills, then she found an older guy that decided he would pay for everything she needed. She became his sugar baby. A concept I didn’t know existed until she explained it to me. Once she got tired of the guy and made enough money she decided to open her own agency. With time she became the most elite and exclusive agency to hire escorts.
Most of her girls don’t have sex with their Joes. That’s what Karen decided to call the man that calls hiring their services. We are all Joes until we chose the girl for the service. Karen always gives us two files and we chose the one we like and then the girl gets the file. They only know in advance what kind of job it is and for how long. Not who is hiring them.
It’s just a simple way of keeping us safe.
“I’ve been doing great. Just busy and I need your help” - I say
“I never thought I would see the day” - she teases me.
I used to be completely against her job. I told her a hundred times that I would help her out. Money was never a problem for my family. We have more money than we care to admit.
“I know” - I say
“What is the event?” - she asks
“My cousin is getting married and I need to take a girlfriend with me. You know how these things work” - I say
“No time for dating hun?” - she asks
“I barely have time to eat, let alone date, I need a girl that will mingle perfectly with my family but that isn’t too flashy, a girl that will be able to handle a high society event. It will last two weeks in Italy” - I say
“I have the perfect girl for you, do you trust me?” - she asks
“Do I have another choice?” - I reply
“Of course not, I know how your family works, and I definitely know that this girl will be able to handle them, she is classy, beautiful, charming, extremely intelligent” - Karen says
“I don’t want a gold digger” - I say
“She’s not, she’s been with our top Joes and she never even flinched” - Karen says
“Anyone I might know?” - I ask as I don’t need them figuring out she is an escort
“No darling, she’s been mostly with Americans. You know they are the ones hiring us because they want a girl with a British accent” - Karen says
“Good, send me her files please” - I say
“Harry?”
“Yes?”
“Do you even want to know how much it will be?”
“I know you are expensive Karen, and I am okay with it, just send me the file and the contract please, I will pick the girl up tomorrow for the flight” - I say
“Just one more thing” - Karen says
“Yes?”
“I need you to get tested for STD’s please”
“Karen I have no intentions of having sex with that girl, you know I’m not a player” - I let out
“I know darling, but it’s policy” - she says
“Fine, send your nurse to collect blood to my office” - I say
“I will” - she says and I take a deep breath.
The rest of the day was uneventful. Except for the nurse that came to collect my blood. She was a little older than me. If she was one of the escorts I wouldn’t mind her being my girl, and that’s when my email got a notification.
It was the contract and the folder.
Once I open the folder my eyes are immediately on the photo. I can’t deny that the girl is beautiful.
There’s a background story of how we met and how long we have been together.
I read carefully and it will be easy to keep that lie. My family has no idea of what I do with my life. They are all self-centred that they never even notice what is happening in my life. I always keep myself away from scandals and from the media. I don’t like them but they do respect my privacy. Especially with the amount of money, I inject into them every month.
When I finish reading everything I start reading the contract. Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds for two weeks. That’s a lot of money and that is only the deposit. The other two hundred and fifty I have to pay at the end.
We are not allowed to have sex with our escort and if we want to it was to be discussed in advance with the girl and an extra payment will be required at the end.
I don’t have any intentions in sleeping with her anyway.
I sign the contract electronically and send it back to Karen.
Once I finish in the office it’s almost ten in the evening and I haven’t even had dinner. I call my driver and I get home soon after. I find some leftover lasagne that the cook left for me and I put it in the microwave.
One of the Good things about being a millionaire is that I don’t have to do anything myself. Food is cooked by my private chef, the housekeeper takes care of the cleaning and tidying up. I have one person that takes care of my clothes. The only thing I do myself is pack when I have to travel. Blame it on the years that I couldn’t chose what to wear because of my controlling parents.
Once I finish the meal I just go straight to bed. I lay down with my hands under my head while in look up at the ceiling. Tomorrow I will be picking the girl up. I hope she behaves and I honestly hope she doesn’t become one of those girls that fights for my attention. I don’t have the time or the patience for that.

Harry POVI wake up with my alarm on my phone. I turn it off and I get up stretching my back. I had a horrible and uncomfortable night sleep. I walk into the bathroom and get myself ready for the gym. I have a private gym inside my flat. I live in a three-bedroom flat in front of Hyde Park in London. I love it here. I can see the park from the Gym window while I do my exercises. After doing my cardio and lifting some weights I decide to go out for a run. It’s seven in the morning and not a lot of people are out. It’s is a lovely spring day and it is already getting hot. I run down and when I get to the park I put my EarPods on. Music blasting that’s all I need. I start running and to my surprise, I bump

I walk to the bathroom and I have a quick shower doing my skin routine and moisturising my skin after. As an escort, I need to take care of myself. After all my appearance is everything in my job. Once I get out Karen walks into my flat. She has a spare key.“In ringed” - she says
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 5 - Walking in Rome
Harry POV I keep looking at Alice through my shades pretending I am looking at my phone. She’s looking out of the window not paying any attention to me. Her face lits up as she sees the monuments we pass by. I’ve never really paid attention to my surroundings when I’m being driven to hotels. I stop looking at my phone and look out of the window. Rome is not a foreign place to me. It’s my second home. I’ve lived here for two years after my break up with my ex. I needed some time away and I came to Rome. I obviously worked here but I never did the touristy thing. Maybe I should. I think Alice would enjoy it. Maybe I can take her to the Pantheon. And to the Vatican. “We’re here sir” - I hear the driver calling me from my daydream. I open the door and Alice hol

Alice POVI was in shock when I saw Harry appear in front of me wearing ripped jeans. Adidas trainers and a white t-shirt. His t-shirt hugged his muscles showing of the perfection under the fabric. He put a baseball cap on and we walked out of the bedroom. We walked past the press unnoticed which made me happy. I don’t know how to react in front of them. The day has been absolutely amazing. We walked and talked a lot. I got to know the real Harry. Sometimes he can be arrogant but then he stops and corrects himself. I think he is used to people wanting something from him, but this time it’s the other way around. He wants something from someone else. He wants me to help him. Today helped me to get into my character of a loving girlfriend. We had lunch and dinner out. All in small restaurants that he knew from the

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 inches, but that still makes dad tower over me. “Mum?” I let out, and she hug
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 78 - The End
Harry POV It’s been a couple of months since Alice chose that dick over me. Rita suggested we worked on our marriage because she was willing to let the past be in the past and forget about everything that happened between us if I could work on our marriage because of our children now that Karen and Alice are out of the way. We have been doing couple’s therapy, and I have to say that it is actually helping me heal from the fact that Alice chose Devin over me and is helping me to see that Rita is the best option for me. She wants the same things as me, has the same values, and wants our children to have a happy family. My relationship with my parents changed for the best since they helped Rita hide from Karen, keeping her and my son safe. We are having another boy, we haven’t decided on the name yet, but we are working on it. I want Harrison, but Rita doesn’t want another name starting with H. We have to sort it out. We sold the flat an

Devin POV “Devin, come here please”, Francisca says and I walk towards her from my improvised desk in the front room. She has the design for the house for me to approve, we go through everything and I ask her to change some small things, like the window features, and to keep the balcony exactly the same way it is right now, I have my morning coffee outside every day now and I actually enjoy it. I can understand why Alice used to do it. I have asked her to get someone to make the maze disappear as it is a difficult place for me, I used to love it when I bought it, and the first time I took Alice in there, we shared our first kiss, she got lost and when I found her she hugged me and kissed me, but then, it was in front of the maze that she chose him over me, she decided that he was more important than I was. I walk back to my desk and I hear a lot

Devin POV It’s been three days since the Gala and I am back at the cottage, I am having an architect to come and check everything out to do some remodelling of the house, I need a bigger and more comfortable work space and I definitely need it quieter. The staff in this house have no sense of keeping to themselves and leaving my life out of their business. Maybe after the meeting I’ll just go for a trail ride and try and clear my head. I haven’t been able to focus on work for the life of me. All I keep thinking is Alice, and how she might be back in his arms and I am here moping around. I shake my head and I walk back into the house and into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee when the doorbell rings, slowly I walk to the door sipping my coffee and I open it. The architect is waiting for me with a smile on her face, Francisca, she is Portuguese an

Harry POV As soon as Alice left Devin walks out of the room and I grab his arm tightly. He looks me in the eyes and I don’t recognise my best friend anymore, he looks like a stranger looking at me, he looks more confident and more independent. Not that that is a bad thing, it’s just different from the Devin I am used to. Devin always kept his head down after all his drug addiction, he has a man slut but he kept himself in the dark from everything else. “Leave her alone, she is mine”, I tell Devin and he shoves my hand away from his arm placing both his hands in his pockets again. “She will be the one to decide if she wants me to leave her alone, the day Alice tells me to go, ill go, but if she doesn’t I am sticking around until she tells me to give up”, Devin tells me and anger builds up in me. Devin approaches me and whispers in my ear “I know you let her fall on purpose”, Devin says and I take one step back looking him deep in his eyes, he

Alice POV The police wants to ask me some questions, obviously Harry doesn’t want to leave me alone but the police insists, they need to get our testimonies separately, they want to hear both sides of what happened and they want to see if the stories match, They say they’ve heard Devin already and they have given us a few minutes because of the traumatic side of things for me. Harry says he is not leaving my side and that they can ask us both questions at the same time, I know they are just doing their job but I have to say I like the idea of not being alone with anyone I don’t know right now. The police starts asking me questions as in, how did Karen take me upstairs to the roof terrace. I said she cornered me in the bathroom when I wasn’t expecting her and she said Devin and Harry were fighting up there all because of me. I look at Harry and once more his face is unfazed, as if nothing ever shocked him, he learned to hide his true emotions

Harry POV Alice leaves to walk into the bathroom and I see that Devin is getting ready to follow her, no, not on my watch, he needs to stay away from her, he’s done more damage than good, I need him far away from Alice, I walk to him holding on to his arm and telling him to stay away from her, and for the first time he faces me telling me to let go of him and that I am making her unhappy. What the hell does he know about happiness? All he has is failed relationships because of his little obsession with me. Devin calls me self centred and if we weren’t on such a public place I would’ve shown him how wrong he is, how all I want is Alice’s happiness by my side, all I want is to hear her laugh and see her smile again, see her eyes shining when she smiles and looks at me, see her biting her lips when I approach her and take her in my arms. “Where is she?”, I ask as I get inside the bathroom and I can’t see her anywh

Devin POV I haven’t gone back to London in over a month, I changed my phone number and I have been conducting my meetings from the cottage, I sold my flat and all my properties in London, I couldn’t bare the idea of going back. I have been keeping in touch with Rita’s mum and she updates me about Henry, he is my godson after all. I stopped reading the news and I am keeping to myself. I know Rita is still gone and I know that Harry is probably panicking. I have been taking care of my horses and of my mental health, I stopped drinking and went back to my meetings, I need to keep focused, my will to do drugs was too strong and I can’t cave, I’ve almost lost everything once and I can’t do it again. Once more Harry got everything he’s ever wanted and I was left with nothing. I roll to my side on the bed and I keep reminding me that we were younger back then, Harry couldn’t have done it on purpose. I
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 71 - The reconciliation
Alice POV I have been back in London for over a month, and I have to say I am not happy, or I am not as happy as I thought I would be. I thought that after our conversation, things would’ve gone back to normal, but they didn’t. Harry is distant, and I don’t like his touch anymore. In fact, we haven’t had sex since we came back to London. I am starting to notice small things about him that are making my skin crawl. Harry forgave me for sleeping with Devin, but I can’t say I forgave him for sleeping with Karen. I understand his reason for doing it, I know he is worried, and I know how much he is struggling with Rita’s disappearance, especially with Henry asking about her constantly. I know he is worried about the child Rita is carrying, I know, and I am worried too, but I think he went too far like; he enjoys the challenges like he enjoys when someone tries to control his decisions, and he does it to pro
