Andy's POV:

We were standing in the middle of a long hallway, we were facing the restrooms, he loosened his tie taking another deep breath, he was mad, so mad! I've never seen him this way before, he used to get mad at work, but I swear I've never seen him lose it this much.

"it wasn't supposed to be you Andy" he said in the most cold look, my eyes widened, what does he mean? suddenly the realization hit me!! remembering what he had whispered in my ear earlier, about being ready...he thought I was someone else!!

"I thought you're someone else, that's why...I danced with you, and get so close to you, but it was supposed to be some other girl, we planned for all of this, that she'll be my 'fiancée' in front of Chloe, but you screwed it all up!!!" he said hitting the wall behind me making me gasp from fear and surprise, he was facing me with his mad blue eyes, making me look at them.

"This is insane, why did you continue your game after you figured it was me anyway?" I asked, he shot me one of his deadly glares.

"Are you fucking kidding me Andy? I just explained to you everything, why do you have to be so fucking stupid?" he yelled making me flinch. Tears were beginning to form in the corner of my eyes!! I only nodded, started to walk away from him, he followed but said nothing .

When we're back to the party, all I did was get drink after drink. I was upset, and sad from his cruel words, he didn't have to be so cruel. I started to get daisy from all the drinks, which is why I decided to call for a cab.

When my cab arrived I walked outside the hotel feeling my knees weak and trembling, I wasn't myself at all, I checked my phone it was already 11:00.PM, I sigh, remembering the fact that I'm having work tomorrow, and the possibility of waking up with a bad hangover, I shouldn't have drink this much!!

I opened the door, I was about to get inside the cab, but a strong hand grabs my wrist, I look up to see his blue eyes gazing into mine, his eyes were the first reason that I'm attracted to him, I realized I was looking at his face for what looks like ages, so I looked away shaking my head, is this some kind of a dream? I couldn't believe my eyes, I closed them, opening them again to see he was really here, I could feel my heart beats racing. Why is he here?

"What kind of man leaves his fiancée heads home in a cab?" he asked, closing the door shut, the cab immediately left cursing for wasting his time, while we started walking, he was still holding my wrist tightly , while me? I was following him from behind, when he found his car, he opened the door for me, getting inside as well, we were seated on the back seats, while there was a driver on the front seat.

The car started, the driver asked for my address which I gave him immediately, I was tired, sleepy, and a bit drunk! Heading home would be a nice idea.

Harris remained silent, so did I. I was staring outside my window, feeling as if I was going insane, maybe because he was sitting with me silently, but his eyes were focused on me, I finally looked up at him questioningly.

"you didn't have to do that...why did you?" he finally asked I shrugged, "you didn't have to, but you did it anyway, why?" he asked again still confused, "cause, I know the feeling, I've been there" I said, it's true, it hurts to love someone you know he's already moved on.

He looked away, "it's not the same" he said looking outside his window, I looked away too, of course it's not the same, that girl was pure evil! She's such a bitch!!!

We were finally parking outside my house, I immediately got outside the car, without a word, he didn't say anything too, he didn't even bother to look at me, I closed the door behind me, the car left leaving me standing for a moment in the spot, I sigh, this was a hell of a crazy night!!

********************

"I wanted hot details, not a boring drunk that I'll have to take care of her bad hangover the next morning!!!" Tress said I giggled at that, I put another pillow on my head, but she pushed it away anyway.

"Get up Andy, please just pretty please I need details, how was the party? Did he notice you? How was it?" She started asking nonstop.

"Nothing happened Tress, we just...danced a little " I said remembering the way we danced, being so close to Harris was something new, something I've never experienced before!

"You danced?!!!" she asked standing, she was so excited about it, I giggled again she held a pillow inside her arms and starts to dance along with it, this girl is really into love novels, she doesn't know that love has two faces, the first face would make you feel as if you're up in the sky, while the other one would crash you down to the ground.

"So? what happened next?" she asked, sitting again, I shrugged, "nothing, just that, he drove me home, that's all" I said while her eyes widened, "Oh my god!! Nothing? You calling this nothing? Oh my god Andy you're so stupid!! This guy cares about you, he's totally into you" she said as if she knows everything in this world. I was about to tell her everything, but I decided I shouldn't talk about it, since it's something concerning Harris's private life.

"I'm telling you girl, I know, it's what happens in movies" she said kissing the pillow she holding, I rolled my eyes, "this is not a movie, this is real world, get up and let me have some sleep, I have work tomorrow, and don't forget to take the pillow with you, I don't need it anymore" I said in a disgust look, she giggles sticking out her tongue at me, after she left I turn off the lights, I closed my eyes, but to my bad luck, I couldn't sleep, feeling my heart racing, remembering tonight, and Harris's closeness to me.

************************

I got to work ten minutes late, I got inside the elevator pushing the button as fast as I could, holding my coffee, I'm in so much trouble, Harris was mad at me last night, and now this? Coming late to work, he hates it when his employers are late, he's strict when it comes to rules and work, I guess this is what made him successful, the elevator's doors opens, I immediately rushed to my desk, where I could see my office colleagues, Stephan, and Jill, "hey" I greeted them, they were giving me shocked looks, "you just came? You're late?" Steph said acting as if he was shocked, I rolled me eyes, "give her a break, it must be so annoying for her to come late for the first time, it must've took a lot of effort from her to come late" Jill sneers, giggling along with him, I rolled my eyes, sitting on my chair.

"Anyway, Mr. Ford called you into his office ten minutes ago" Steph said, "I gaped from shock, NO!!

"Yeah, he knows you're late," Jill added to my shock. I stood immediately, storming out of my office, I wonder why he called for me to go to his office? What would make him want me in his office?

I was facing his office door. I hesitated to knock or go inside his office. I felt a strange and an awkward feeling, knowing well that something changed between us last night. I don't know what it was, but it definitely didn't feel like the relationship we had before.

I decided I should knock, and shake off this feeling, I knocked, "Come in" he said I gulped opening the door...

His eyes finally met my gaze, making my knees weaken, I couldn't stand anymore, he's got a hold on me, and he doesn't even know his power, he doesn't know how weak he could make me with just a glance from his eyes."Take a seat, Andy" he offered me to sit, which I immediately did. I was looking at him silently, he put the paper he was holding on his desk, looking at me, he stood from his chair, fixing his tie."You were late..." he started saying, I looked up at him, trying to say something but he shakes his head, he doesn't like to hear excuses, I know, but..."Andy, since when have you been working at this company?" he asked. I frowned, is he thinking about firing me?"Sir, I..." I started saying but he shook his head, again, I think I know what's happening right here, I've become certain, he called

Of course I can easily lie to everyone, but lying to her? I don’t think that’s even possible."So your mom called” she said stopping me in my tracks, I stopped walking closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before facing her again, she’s the only one who knows about my strong feelings for Harris, more specifically my boss."And?” I asked pretending that I have no idea of what’s she’s talking about, “Nothing, just the fact that you’re getting married in a month, and you didn’t tell me anything about it, but you know...it’s not like I’m that close to you or anything, I mean it’s jus

As the plane got even closer, I could see more details, like little houses and the cars that seemed like ants along the roads.I was so excited and overwhelmed from the view I was facing, I looked at Harris and pushed his arm a little to share the view with him but he only smirked shaking his head looking away from me staring at his phone that was on his hand.The feeling of sadness hits me, as I remembered that all of this isn’t real. How could I forget that this is just a lie?

I wonder if he tells them what their reaction would be like, they already hate me.“This is Andy. mom, dad, I want you to meet my fiancée” he said with the most confident tone I’ve ever heard, his father smiled at him, then looked at me, “nice to meet you Andy, I’m Hector” he said shaking my hand then looked at his son smiling at him as if he was saying ‘nice choice’ . His mother still can’t react to what her son just said.“Well…I’m a little bit disappointed…” she started saying, I felt as if someone just slapped

She smiled walking outside the room closing the door slowly, “sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt” she said after she shut the door closed. Harris and I both let out a deep breath we were holding, feeling relieved that she didn’t hear anything. Harris turned to look at me, “if you ever bring this up again, if anyone ever knows about this? It’ll be the end of you!! You know what will happen Andy, you do whatever you have to do, whatever feelings you have inside of you, just turn them off” he said holding my neck tightly, he was hurting me. I closed my eyes trying to get rid of his grip, but his grip was tightening even harder. “p-please, I’ll do whatever you say, just let go of me” I said almost begging, I felt as if I was suffocating, as if he had the power to take out my soul with one hand, I wasn’t able to move, I felt as if I’ll break m

Even though he was wearing a black mask, those blue ocean eyes made me recognize him right away. “Harris?” My voice barely audible, a smile crept onto his half masked face. His eyes were locked with mine for a moment, and I knew I was in trouble, just like every time. “surprised?” he said, scanning my look for a moment, then smirked. His eyes met mine again. I was about to turn, but he grabbed me by my waist, turning me around, so I was facing his smiley face. “What do you think you’re doing?” I asked, “can we at least dance?” he said, his hands traveled from my waist to my back. He pulled me close to him. And I could feel my breath fading away. A song started to play, I assume it was the same song that played in Paris, at Caleb’s party, he smirked. “What do you want, Harris?” I asked, looking away from him as he started to dance, making me sway along with him.

Andy was there in front of me, still standing at the doorway, but the way she looked at me, it wasn’t the same anymore.We kept staring at each other for what looked like ages, and it was burning me from the inside. I was too weak, and she was a few inches away from me, but I was unable to walk towards her.Suddenly, she started walking towards my desk, then put some papers on it. I frowned, narrowing my eyes at the papers on my desk. I froze looking at her cold eyes, I was about to say something but she beat me to it.“I signed them…we’re no longer…husband and wife” she said, the shock left me silent, I was about to explain, but I couldn’t speak, instead I kept scanning every inch I loved in her, and it was everything, there was nothing that I didn’t love about the girl she was standing in front of me.

But I couldn’t just watch while he was putting all the blame on me.“My wife was lying in a bed inside a hospital for like a month, because of your actions, you and my son” he said, I looked down, not able to look at his disappointed face. I was tearing apart from the inside, I’ve never felt much humiliation in my whole life.I gulped, not looking into his eyes, “I kind of expected

And it sucks that I had to have the same bad hangover every morning.Which is why I decided to make a promise, that I’ll stop all of this shit, and was trying to occupy my time with various activities, I even started to go swimming, and boxing.Caleb was shocked, still not believing the fact I was trying to stop all of the mess in my life. But all of that didn’t stop me from thinking about her, Andy was keeping my mind occupied, even at work, I wasn’t able to focus.

I headed outside the library after I took Landen’s permission of course.I switched my phone on, and after a moment or two, it started ringing, I frowned, it was Tress. “hey…” I started, but she interrupted me. “thank god you’re okay!!” she gasped, taking a deep breath, her voice shaking.I frowned, “what’s going on?” I asked, “Andy, Harris knows that you were working with…” she started, “Kim?” I wh

What the hell I was doing? Maybe it’s the bourbon, because I swear that girl wasn’t just some girl.It was Andy, but with different hair color. I shook my head, and took a deep breath, looking up at her once again. My eyes widened, and it was official, I was losing my mind because of her love, there was no one sitting there, but I could swear I just saw her sitting at the bar, holding her glass of wine.“What’s wrong?” Caleb asked, joining our group. “nothing…” I said, then walked to the bar, still confused, my eyes looking at every face there. I sighed, I was out of my mind, that girl totally made me not only crave her, but also she was driving me crazy!I ordered a glass of bourbon, and took my seat, then suddenly I was surprised of Caleb’s sitting right next to me, “where the hell did that black masked girl

I frowned, I couldn’t believe he would do anything to keep his water face safe.“I can see why you escaped” Abby said, patting on my back, I was still staring at his sad face, or probably his fake sad face.“But, it was because of me,” he said, I frowned, “my wife cares a lot about her reputation, and since she left, it means something went wrong. I know how much she loved me, but…I was a bad husband, always late, and always busy, but cheating wasn’t one of the things, it’s just a huge misunderstanding” he said. I gasped, studying his face.“I can’t believe you escaped! WOW” Abby whispered, “leave Andy, and my family out of this” his eyes pleading, “I’m ready to let you go, Andy” he said, “but I really hope you come back, and give me a second chance” he said, and with that he fin

She wasn’t only disappointed but also angry, and sad.“Why did you lie? And why did you escape?” she asked, I frowned, I trusted her, but it didn’t mean that I was ready to talk about it, I was still surprised that Harris was in the same building as me…“Really?
