"Did you miss me?" Hardin smiled walking past her without waiting for her to let him in, he caught sight of Octavia as he placed his phone to his ear. "She is here," he said into the phone then disconnected it.

"Hardin?" Octavia nearly choked on her drink, She had been sure coming to June's house would be a safe space for her but with the sight of Hardin she wasn't sure of that anymore, the sight of him brought back the memories of what Keir had done to her into her head and the fact that Hardin was in on it angered her as a frown fell on her face.

"What the hell are you doing here?" June asked. She noticed there were some men in black outside while she was closing the door behind him. The fact that he was here the moment Octavia was also here meant that something was up, how the hell did he know that Octavia was here?

"Trust me I didn't want to be here in the first place till my men told me it was your house," Hardin said.

Keir had been on his neck regarding finding Octavia as soon

    "You don't mean that," Keir said removing his hand from her shoulder and holding her hands in his, Her words were like a sword, every time she opened her mouth it felt like she was stabbing him right in the heart. He had sensed those words would eventually roll out of her mouth as she didn't seem to move by his words, The Octavia he remembered would have been crying right now but the look she had on her face was one he had never seen before, and didn't imagine he would ever be seeing. She hated him."Does it look like I am joking? I want a divorce, I don't want to have anything to do with you and this marriage seems to be the only thing tying us together.""I love you, I can't agree to...""I want a divorce Keir, You want to talk right?" Octavia asked removing her hands from his, "That's what I want.""Octavia," Keir said reaching out for her hand."Get your lawyers so we can get this over with as soon as possible," Octavia yelled heading back inside as Keir followed behind her tryi

    Octavia opened her eyes slowly as she stared around, She caught sight of June sleeping on the couch opposite the bed. The last she remembered was Keir forcing her to get into a car against her wish."June," she called out getting out of the bed. Where the hell were they?"You are up?" June asked opening her eyes followed by a deep yawn and a stretch, She had fallen asleep on the couch while she was watching over Octavia. "Where the hell are we?""In a yacht, in the middle of the ocean and let me not forget to inform you that those bastards locked us inside this room till further notice," June said. When she had gone to gather some of her clothes, she felt that they were going back home but to her surprise, they had driven out of town and gotten into the yacht. At first, she thought it was another route that she wasn't familiar with but it dawned on her soon enough that Hardin and Keir were up to no good when they locked the door to the room leaving her and Octavia's unconscious body

    "Here you go," Alex said offering Atlas a glass of wine as he took his seat opposite him. "Where is Sandy? We both know she came to you for help even though the police haven't figured out that part yet.""Safe.""Safe? We had a deal that you were going to kill her for me.""It's funny that this deal was the same deal you offered to Sandy, you sent her to kill me in exchange for whatever nonsense you were blackmailing her with. Did you think she wouldn't tell me?""Does it look like I care if she told you?" Alex smirked. He had tasked Sandy to get Keir and find out some information about the company's shares and how things were done in the company but the idiot went ahead to fall in love with Keir and decided to opt out of the plan. It was a good thing he had some interesting information about her past, he had blackmailed her with it, he thought she was going to be able to execute the plan perfectly when she started giving him valuable information about the company but she soon went b

    Alex chuckled at Keir's words, right now his men were behind the yacht getting Octavia into their jet ski, he could have just taken off but he wanted to see Keir's face."Don't worry I won't have to if you hand over the shares.""What fucking shares? You are one sick bastard Alex, If I remember correctly Keir handed those shares to you and we all could it quits on the bet," Hardin said taking a drag from the cigarette, maybe it was a bad idea that June had tagged along, it sounded selfish but he didn't want anything to happen to June. This was Keir's issue, not his. "He handed those shares five years later and I know for a fact that those shares have made a lot of profit for Hydra company, I want those profits," Alex said. "Fine you get the fucking profits," Keir agreed. "When I see them, you will have your wife," Alex replied. He fired the gun aiming for Keir's shoulder but missed as the bullet penetrated Keir's stomach. Keir staggers back from the impact placing his hand on his s

    June opened her eyes slowly as she stared around, she was in an unfamiliar room, and the last she remembered was Atlas tying her up while she tried to stay conscious and gain control of her own body.She jerked up at the thought of Atlas tying her, her eyes met Hardin instantly who was sitting on a chair looking right at her."You still have those nightmares?" He asked in a worried tone. He had found her gagged and tied in an unconscious state, he was grateful that Alex had not taken her along or maybe it was just pure luck because Alex had left his men to it and they felt Octavia was more important to their boss than June. "Octavia," June groaned bringing her hand to her forehead where she felt a migraine building up."We will find her, are you alright?" "They took her?" June gasped in disbelief as she got out of bed immediately but the moment her feet touched the ground, she felt the room spinning, she leaned back almost falling on the bed but Hardin was quick to rush to her side

    Hardin leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips, "I don't know why you are avoiding me, if I am moving too fast for you we can take things slow.""Doesn't look like you like it slow?" June said."You did be surprised by the things I am willing to do for you.""I think Octavia is pregnant.""Avoiding things again," Hardin sighed disappointed that she wasn't willing to give in to him. "Did she tell you that?" Hardin asked letting go of June, he could tell she was trying all tactics to end the conversation he was trying to have about them, he didn't want to keep pushing forward, it was best to give her some breathing space for now. "She had a bump and she seemed out of place.""That doesn't prove anything," Hardin said. "So, if you have a bump should I tag it as you being pregnant?""Be serious Hardin.""Okay, let's say she is pregnant...""Who is pregnant?" Keir asked standing beside the door, he was walking down the corridor and overheard their conversation, he didn't mean to eavesdro

    Octavia got out of bed the moment Alex left, she couldn't believe he would just say something like that. Wasn't he the same person who just said he didn't want to hurt her, was he going to shoot her?She remembered the look he had on his face when he said that, there was something different about him when he said that, or maybe she was just finally seeing for herself the monster he was.She walked up to the door, placed her hand on the doorknob, and to her amazement it gave way. It seemed he was really serious about her doing whatever she liked here, the only problem about this house was that it was in the middle of nowhere and she doubted that Keir or Hardin would be able to locate her on time.Even if they were able to locate her, would Alex give her up so easily to them? She was about to step out of the door to pursue after Alex and see if she could convince him to let her off when a maid walking down the hallway stopped in front of her bowing her head and saying something to her.

    "I have made arrangements for the paperwork we will be making use of regarding the shares," James said via video call, while Keir, Hardin, and June were on the other end of the laptop.He didn't get why Keir would go to a cabin out of town when it was obvious Alex had gotten what he wanted which was Octavia but it was still right to stay in hiding, one could not fully trust someone to keep to their words.He had been investigating Sandy's case when he found some link to Alex, apparently she had been making some calls to him regarding Keir, he was able to get this from her laptop which she had forgotten in Keir's office after she went on her mission to hang Octavia.He also found some pictures of her and Alex meeting up, as well as videos, it seemed she was keeping records of all their conversation, people that did that usually had ulterior motives or they just didn't trust the person they were with. In Sandy's case, she didn't trust Alex because Alex was blackmailing her."I just want

    - MONTHS PASSED - - HARDIN’S MANSION - “Where are you going to?” Hardin asked, reaching out to June on the bed as he embraced her tightly from behind, planting a kiss on her ear. “Octavia is going to kill us if we don’t attend her baby shower,” June muttered. “Why does her baby shower have to be today?” Hardin groaned. After Conrad was arrested, they spent months going to the station, talking to the police, and going to the court to provide evidence and act as witnesses to make sure Conrad got locked up for good. Finally, the judge ruled in their favor and Octavia decided to put her baby shower on the one day that they needed to rest. Why? “We are not spending the whole day in her house remember,” June smiled, understanding Hardin’s frustration and his desire to spend the whole day with just her. She turned around and placed her hand on his cheeks. “We could leave early.” “Early? Once I see Keir I don’t think early is going to come to mind, those two are still in their honeym

    “What are you talking about?” Hardin asked."I need to show you something," June said, grabbing Hardin's laptop from the dining table and bringing it to the living room. She inserted a flash drive into the laptop and placed it on the table. Hardin sat down next to her, already repeating what she had said again in his head, ‘I have been faking it’. His eyes widened slowly as it dawned on him what June meant, but she showed him the video already playing, interrupting his thoughts. - VIDEO RECORDING -Emma places her phone on the top shelf. She goes back and looks around to check if the camera is showing. She rushes back to sit on the office chair in the library. Soon Conrad steps in, discussing something over the phone. His eyes flare up at the sight of Emma sitting in his seat in his library. “What the hell do you think you are doing sitting in my seat?” Conrad asked, disconnecting the call and placing his phone back into his pocket. “I thought it best to come and play with my hus

    An hour later, Conrad arrived at Hardin’s house, and Hardin felt anxious when he opened the door and caught sight of him.He glanced at June and noticed how she was nervous to see Conrad. He wondered what she was up to. “I’m glad to see you, June,” Conrad whispered. He walked over to June, about to give her a hug, as Hardin stopped him by raising his hand to his chest and shoving him off. “Don’t touch her,” Hardin warned. This meeting was already taking a lot from him to endure. If he touched her, he wouldn’t hesitate to take him out.“We should all sit down and talk,” June asked, like she wasn’t aware of the tension between the two men.Hardin and Conrad stare at each other for a moment, both trying to contain the resentment they held towards each other for June’s sake. They finally sit on the couch and June sits next to Conrad instead of Hardin. Her action doesn’t go unnoticed by Hardin, who eyes flare up, but he allows it. “This should be a private conversation. He shouldn’t be

    Hardin was furious and bewildered by June’s desire to meet Conrad. He understood that she had lost her memory and couldn’t remember Conrad, but wasn't that enough reason for her not to want to see him?He ran his fingers through his hair as he got to his feet, pacing around, trying to process her request. “June, I don’t think this is a good idea. Look, you don’t know the kind of person Conrad is. I mean, he is not the person you think he is.” Hardin voiced out, hoping June would back down.“Allow me to see him, Hardin.” She said, with a straight face.Hardin sighed heavily. This was the last thing he wanted. “Why can’t you listen to me, June? I just told you he is not the person you think he is, and he doesn’t love you. "He's nothing but a liar," Hardin muttered through clenched teeth.“Why do you think so, Hardin? Just allow me to meet him. You don’t have to be so stiff about it.” “Stiff?”“I want to meet with him. I don't remember anything. You make it sound like I do and I am int

    Hardin held June in his arms for almost five minutes until he realized she had fallen asleep and stopped crying.He lovingly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as he kissed her forehead. "I promise to protect you from any harm," he whispered, carrying her in his arms.He got up on his feet and laid her gently on the bed, covering her with the duvet. He smiled at her. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. He could watch her this way without being tired.His mind finally drifted to that call Maria had placed. Something must have caused June to act like this. A frown suddenly fell on his face at the thought of Maria probably doing something to trigger her. Seething with anger, he stormed into the living room, “Maria! Maria!!” He called out to her as she rushed from the kitchen into the living room, bowing her head down. “Maria, what did you do to her? I specifically instructed you not to stress her out,” Hardin bellowed, his voice filled with frustration.Maria, her eyes dow

    June stumbled back, her head pounding with confusion. She couldn’t remember who this man was, and it left her feeling disoriented. “Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.Conrad looked hurt by her question. He took a deep breath and said, “June, it’s me, Conrad.”“Conrad?” June muttered. In the hospital, she remembered uttering that name, but couldn't piece it together. “I- I am sorry, but Conrad, from where? I don’t know you.”“You do. We’ve been dating for over a year now. How can you not remember me?” Conrad lied.“What?” June questioned. That couldn’t be possible. Hardin was her boyfriend. His mother was here just now to confirm that they were indeed dating, and she wasn’t pleased about it."I was in a car accident, which is why I couldn't reach out to you earlier," Conrad explained, stepping towards her, but June stepped back.“Please Sir, leave,” Maria finally spoke up, seeing the distraught look on her madam’s face.“Who are you?” Conrad asked, but Maria didn’t reply to

    "Mrs Scott?" June said. Hardin had mentioned his mother but he barely said much about her, he told her he would explain better today but now here she was. How did she know Hardin was here?"Where is my son? I want to see him," Mrs Scott asked looking behind June to see if Hardin was there."I told you Ma, he is not here," Maria replied angrily, she had been repeating over and over again that Mister Hardin wasn't around but Mrs Scott refused to believe her. "Will you shut up?" Mrs Scott yelled at her."He is not around at the moment but if you want to wait for him you can," June said in a low voice."No Ma'am, Sir said she shouldn't come in," Maria shook her head not accepting what her madam was saying."It's fine Maria, I will handle the situation, you don't need to worry about it," June reassured her seeing the terrified look on her face, it seemed Hardin had given her strict rules to not allow anyone inside including his mother.But why his mother? Was he hiding something from her?

    By nighttime, June decided to take her bath and get some rest. As she took her shower the scent of the bathing soap felt familiar in her nose as she scrubbed her body trying to remember anything but she couldn't.She emerged from the bathroom afterward, her freshly washed face glistening under the soft glow of the vanity lights. Dressed in her cozy pajamas, she climbed onto the bed, preparing herself for a good night's sleep. As she settled under the covers, the door creaked open, and there stood Hardin. He held his pajamas, ready to freshen up and join her in bed.He dropped the pajamas on the bed and went to take a quick shower when he came back he had a white towel over his waist. June stared at his body, his raven-black hair was slicked back, water droplets glistening on his chiseled chest and strong shoulders. Her choice of boyfriend wasn't so bad she smiled to herself, he was not only handsome but also sexy. A smirk danced upon his lips as he caught June admiring his post-show

    June felt her heart leap out of her chest at Hardin's words, her lips parted as she tried to say something but there was nothing coming to her head. That kiss had done something to her and she knew deep down Hardin could see it in her eyes.They both remained still staring deep into their eyes but that brief moment of blissful oblivion was shattered when the maid unexpectedly entered the room.Startled by what was going on, she quickly averted her eyes and mumbled an apology, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I didn't know you had company, Sir." Her face turned crimson as she hastily headed back inside. Hardin and June exchanged a sheepish glance before breaking into a light chuckle. "It's quite alright, Maria" Hardin reassured the flustered maid stopping her on her track as she turned around bowing her head to them. "June, this is Maria, your new housekeeper."Maria nodded, still blushing, and extended a polite greeting, "Nice to meet you, Ma'am. If you need anything, don't hesitate to
