It’s been one year since Henry was born and I couldn’t be happier. He is giggling and going all the time. Rita decided to stop working to be with him at home. I agreed with her decision. We never needed her to work as money was never a problem for either of us.
Devin is the Henry’s godfather. And he keeps drooling all over the kid constantly.
Today he is babysitting Henry so that I can take Rita out on a date on the night before Henry’s first birthday.
She deserves to be treated like a Queen. After all, she gave me my biggest treasure.
“Are you ready?” - I asked walking into her dressing room.
Rita is sitting at her vanity table finishing her make up. She

Now here he is, professing his love for me and I am telling him to go be with his wife and child. Harry place a soft kiss on my lips and I feel the tears stream down both our faces. My heart is shattered. I think I’ve never been this broken. He is the love of my life and I am telling him to stay with his wife and kid instead of telling him to fight for me. God how I want him to fight for me. To tell me he loves me and nothing else matters. To tell me he needs me to live and that he won’t let me go again.

He texts and calls me every day asking for forgiveness and for another chance. I don’t want to give him another chance to crush my heart. I told Pat everything that happened between me and Harry and she surprised me. She said I should go after him. I should follow my heart and be happy. She says I have been depriving myself of love for a long time and she’s never seen me look at Dave the way I look at Harry. She is absolutely right. So I made up my mind.

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
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 76 - My life
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
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 75 - Home
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
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 73 - The Gala part 2
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
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 72 - Gala
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
