Hardin's POVMy phone chimed in my pocket and I quickly reached out to grab it and check what notification came in. My eyes suddenly went wide as I saw the content of the notification. Just as I was about to dial the contact, a call came in and I picked up immediately. “What's going on?” I said immediately I placed the phone on my ear.“Everything is going well. Did you see the text that I sent?” He asked about and I nodded my head rapidly.“Yes, I saw it. How sure are you that this is true information?” I asked curiously, waiting anxiously for him to respond.“It's very legit. She is in town. She came in a couple of days ago.” He said, and I heaved a sigh as I thought of what next to do.“Where is she?” I asked.“Her usual place.” He said, and I took a deep breath as I could not believe that Shelby was around.“I will get back to you,” I said and quickly cut the call, placing the phone back in my pocket as I slowly tapped my lip, thinking of what next to do.

Just as I was about to go out of the room, my phone began to ring, and I walked to where it was to pick it up.“Why is he calling me?” I whispered as I saw who was calling. I bounced the call at first because of how angry I was at that moment.“Why did you not lock the door?” I asked angrily as I tilted my head to give her a wild look, and she gestured, looking surprised.“Who was that Hardin and why didn't she knock before coming into the room rudely.” She asked, and I took a deep breath as I tilted my head away slowly, trying to calm my nerves. My phone rang again and this time I picked up the call.“What?” I asked in a thunderous tone and waited anxiously for a reply.“Boss, there is a serious issue.” He said over the phone, and I could not help but wonder what he was talking about.“What is it?” I

I never intended to hurt Freda, but that doesn't mean she gets to speak to me like this.“Watch your tongue woman, don't speak to me in that tone” I warned her but it was clear that she wasn't having it.“Oh please Hardin what more can you do to me at this point, why did you make me feel so special if you were going fuck another woman the next day?” Freda yelled angrily her voice rising in volume and intensity, I felt a mix of frust

Freda’s POVI sat there, staring at the hospital room walls, feeling lost and confused. The weight of the situation pressed down on me, heavier than anything I had ever experienced.

I could not help but heave a heavy sigh of frustration, as it had been four solid weeks of laying there without waking up or saying anything. My heart bled as I continued to watch him. My eyes were heavy from the lack of sleep. I could no longer bear the silence, so I cleaned my eyes and took a deep breath before I talked.“Hardin,” I called out softly as I looked over his oxygen mask to see his closed eyes.“Hardin, I know you can hear me. Please come back to me. I can't keep living like this. It's been four weeks Hardin, you kept mute and refused to talk to me. Please open your eyes, Hardin.
