Our Little Dirty Secret 97
June rinsed her face in the bathroom, the cool water soothing her heated cheeks. She stared at her reflection, a mixture of nervousness and anger coursing through her. She couldn't believe how Mrs. Scott had just spoken to her, she knew it was because of Emma and her desire to have Hardin pick Emma over her. If she wanted Emma to be with Hardin so much, why did she have to invite her to this darn breakfast, June thought.As she dried her hand with a towel, she heard Hardin's voice coming from outside the bathroom door. "June, are you alright?" he asked, genuine concern in his tone."Yeah," she replied briefly staring at her reflection again, she couldn't do this, his mum clearly didn't like her. Their relationship wasn't going to work out this way, she thought fighting over a woman for Hardin would be the problem but it seemed Mrs. Scott was going to be it and she couldn't dare come between a son and his mother.She took a deep breath and opened the door. Hardin was waiting there, hi

"So, let me get this straight," Keir chuckled. "Your mother wants you to marry Yvonne, and the only Yvonne I know is your secretary. Is it your secretary?"Hardin, with an exasperated expression, nodded. "Yes, it's absurd, isn't it? She seems to think that Yvonne is the perfect match for me instead of June."Keir couldn't contain his laughter any longer, his voice echoing through the room. "I can't believe she chose your secretary of all people! Seems to me like she was trying to get on your nerves."Hardin's frustration was palpable as he replied, "Well she succeeded if that was her mission because I fired Yvonne afterward."Keir laughed some more before he wiped away a tear from his eye, still amused by the situation. "This is classic matchmaking gone wrong. I wish I had seen your face when she told you."Hardin stared at Keir as he shook his head, his lips curling into a smile as he laughed out. It was a serious issue but looking at it from Keir's perspective it was funny no doubt.

"I understand you want us to get to business but that doesn't mean we should act as strangers June," Conrad said. "So, how are you?"June stared at him, he was right, she didn't need to be uptight. It was just a business meeting and nothing serious, it wasn't like she knew he would be here. She leaned back into her chair, "Fine, doing much better since the last time we met.""I can see that, and I am proud of you June. I always knew you had it in you.""Thank you.""I just wished we kept on trying to work things out back then, you just shut me off completely," Conrad frowned leaning forward on the table. "But I understood later that you wanted to figure things out for yourself and I respect that.""Good.""So, are you seeing someone?""Yes, I have a boyfriend and I assume you are in a relationship too.""Lucky for you I am not," Conrad smiled. "How does it make me lucky?" June raised her brow and rolled her eyes at him, he had always been too confident in himself, sometimes it was a

"Hardin!" She called out to him, her heart pounding in her chest, her breath hitching as she called after him. She followed him quickly to his car, "Wait."Hardin paid no attention to her, he got into his car reached for his phone in his pocket, and sent a message to Keir who he assumed was still waiting for him in the restaurant.[Heading home, we can do this some other time.] He couldn't just stay chill right now, he needed to get home and process his thoughts. The passenger door suddenly opened as June got in and sat down, he looked at June, surprised that she followed him. "June," he said, his voice low and menacing, "please, just get out of the car. We don't need to go back and forth on this, it's clear what you want."June's eyes welled up with tears, maybe she had been too harsh with her words since Hardin came into her life but it was because she wasn't certain of his feelings or maybe she was just scared that she would never meet the standard of women in his life. In that m

Hardin stared at June as his lips curled into a smile, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, as he withdrew from the kiss he was about to say something when his phone began to ring.“Excuse me,” he said reaching for his phone as he picked up the call. “Yes,” he said waiting for the caller to speak, he remained silent listening before speaking, “Alright, I will be there soon,” he said disconnecting the call as he dropped his phone and started the car engine.“What is the matter?” June asked wondering who he had been speaking to on the phone. “They found out who bugged my phone and my car,” Hardin replied turning back on the road, he needed to get there to see them first and give them a piece of his mind before handing them over to the police.“Oh, that’s good,” June said in a low voice, she was happy that they had found the person but she was looking forward to Hardin popping the question.“About our discussion, I will do it the right way okay my love?” he said staring at her

“Fine,” June said opening the door for him to step in.“Who is it?” Octavia asked as Conrad stepped in, “Oh.”“Hi,” Conrad said but Octavia paid no response to him, after what June had told her about what he did the other day, she didn’t want to associate with him. “What is he doing here?” She asked June.“Could you excuse us?” June said hoping Octavia wouldn’t make a scene.“If you try anything silly, I won’t hesitate to have you locked up,” Octavia warned throwing a mean glare at Conrad before she got up on her feet and walked inside.“Your friend seems very protective of you,” Conrad said losing the front button of his suit as he sat down staring around the living room in awe.“So, what is it that you wanted to discuss with me?” June asked taking her seat opposite him.“I am sorry about the kiss, I didn’t know you had a man, if I did I wouldn’t have…”“I hope you are listening to yourself as you speak, so if I didn’t have a man you would have taken advantage of me, is that what yo

Hardin awoke, disoriented and groggy, he attempted to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his chest, and stomach forcing him back down onto the uncomfortable bed.As his eyes adjusted to the surroundings, he realized he was in a hospital room and noticed a familiar face sitting in a chair beside his bed, her head lay peacefully beside his leg and she was asleep.He stretched his hand placing it on her head, caressing it softly his lips curled into a smile. "Hmm," June breathed out slowly as she opened her eyes to stare at him. Conrad tried to get the bullet out but he was unable to stop the bleeding and they rushed him to the hospital immediately."How are you feeling?" June said softly, her voice soothing like a gentle breeze. "You're in the hospital, but you're going to be okay."Hardin's heart raced as he tried to piece together the fragments of his memory. The last thing he remembered was a gunshot ringing out in the darkness. Panic set in, and he stammered, "Could I make a call

- 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?
Our Little Dirty Secret 08
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
