2024-10-29 19:42:56Harry POV
After a quick shower, I get dressed in one of my tailored suits. I fix my tie while I look at myself in the mirror, and I pass my hands through my hair. I shake my head, taking a deep breath. What the hell is Rita thinking she’s going to get with this? I never thought she would do something like this.
Alice is making some more coffee and some snacks. Steve is coming over so We can go through the speech for the press conference. He will moderate the questions and tell me which ones I can answer. I am not happy about it, but it needs doing. I don’t like to be showing up on the press and making statements, but this got out of hand.
After my parents and my idiot of a brother spoke to the press, they made things worse. They should’ve stayed out of it. They brought more heat onto the case. Now the press is

Rita POVThese last few days have been a nightmare. Henry misses his daddy, and I wish I could just let them be together for a little while. I do miss Harry as well. He’s been with me for a few years now, and I fell for him. I know he thinks I don’t love Him. But I am doing all of this because I love him too much. Someday he will understand. I wake up with Henry crying. I walk to his bedroom to see what was happening. I am struggling to deal with his teething and with my morning sickness. Mum wants me to move in with her, but I don’t want to. She’s been manipulating everything about my life, and I am done. I can’t do it anymore. I haven’t even told her I am pregnant.

Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 48 - Karen part 3
D POV I met Karen a few years ago when I was doing my residency. I immediately fell in love with her. She had just moved away from London, and she was starting her life again. She was working at a funeral agency. I met her when my grandmother died. She was the one dealing with everything. The way she handled everything with such class and always showing me that I was going to be okay made me fall entirely in love with her. Her caring eyes and her beautiful smile made me realise she was the one for me. She is a little older than me, but I am okay with that. We went out on a date , and she told me about her past, how her boyfriend dumped her for her friend and how she suffered from that. The boyfriend was a dick and
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 49 - Harry is back
Alice POV I am making the bed when the doorbell rings. I look through the window, and I see the reporters taking photos, and I see Devin with his shades in his eyes and with his arms crossed. I run to the door, and I slightly open it so he can come in. I close the door as soon as he steps inside, and he gives me half hug and a kiss on the top of the head “Hello, sweetheart. How are you doing?” - he asks me while we go to the front room. The conference is being televised, and I can’t wait to see Harry taking down that bitch. She’s been lying and manipulating Harry. I never thought I would hate someone as much as I hate her. Devin grabs us both cups of coffee, and we sit watching tv. Once the conference starts, I start
Girlfriend For Hire Author note
Hi everyone. I am sorry I haven’t updated the book as often as I would like. My personal life is a mess at the moment. We had some unfortunate and unforeseen things happening, and I don’t have the time to sit and write. You all know I work full time (40+ hours per week, and I have a toddler). I am trying my best when I’ve got a few minutes to type something, but it’s complicated, and honestly, if I write, I will end up killing everyone because of everything that is happening to me. My life is literally upside down at the moment, and writing is not coming easily. I do apologise to all of you for the wait. I don’t know when I will be updating, but I’m hoping that my life will be a little better by the
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 50 - Karen is back
Harry POV After the initial shock of seeing Karen and that asshole passed, we sat at the dinner table and had some good food and even better wine. Dine and Wine sound good to me right about now. Alice is looking worried, and I know she is still thinking about Karen; how can she not? This is all messed up, and if I hadn’t seen her in front of me, I would’ve thought she was still far away, and people were lying. But I saw her with my own eyes, no one told me. The bitch is back, and I am not happy about it. I know she’s got something up her sleeve, and being with the douchebag, David makes things even more suspicious. I knew I couldn’t like that guy, not just because he was married to the love of my life or for the fact that he broke her heart but because he is an asshole that is with Karen. How can he? “Are you sure it was Dave?” - A
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 51 - Rita say hello
Rita POV I go back home after watching the disaster that the press conference was. I can’t believe that Karen did that. What a bitch. I understand why Harry did what he did, and I honestly understand his anger and saying all of that. I deserve the heat that I am going to take because of it. I just don’t want my children involved in all of this. Henry is only a baby, and I want him to grow up to be just like Harry, respectful of woman and respectful of everyone; I want to be proud of the man he will become. If I keep doing this, he will grow up involved in lies and manipulations, and I don’t want that for my son or for myself. I want to have a normal life where I can raise my children peacefully. When I arrive, I walk straight into Henry’s bedroom, and I start packing all of his essentials, everything he will need for us to stay away from here. I am

Harry POVRita explained all of the connections and all of the misunderstandings that happened lately and even her accusations.

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
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 77 - The conversation
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
Girlfriend For Hire Chapter 74 - The Gala part 3
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
