Andy’s POV:David and Tress exchanged sad looks, then looked back at me. I didn’t realize that my words hurt Harris, but I think they did, since he left the car after I opened my big mouth.“but he doesn’t know that…Andy, Harris has feelings, he’s a human being after all, even if he looks harsh, bossy, and a control freak. There are some good qualities in him, and I think you began to notice that…and you’re forgetting that he has no idea about your feelings” David said, I nodded, “you’re right…I’ll talk to him” I said with a sad smile.“What are you going to tell him?” Tress asked, I shrugged “I honestly don’t know, but I guess I’ll know when I see him” I said, jumping out of the car, following Harris, who was still inside the store.I went inside the store, then noticed he was holding a bottle of water, he still didn’t know I was right behind him, as he was talking on the phone.“How hard can it be? I’m just asking you to prepare a new contract…” Harris said over the phone, I froze,
Andy’s POV:Harris was so close to me, I could feel his breath fanning all over my face. “get a room you two!” Tress’s mom said, a wide smile covering her face.I cleared my throat, while Harris walked out of the kitchen nervously. “There’s no need to be shy!! It’s okay to have some fun now and then” she winked, I shook my head in disbelief, that’s what we were afraid of, this whole awkwardness!“Your husband is amazing, we think it’s so generous of him that he’s taking care of his best friend’s wedding” she said with a wide smile, “I can’t believe my daughter is getting married, again…” she started, pulling me into a tight hug.“do you think this guy is the right guy for her? You know what she went through with Cole” she asked, I smiled, “David is nothing like Cole, he’s an amazing guy, and he really loves Tress” I said, she smiled, seemed relieved. “good, I’m glad she picked the right guy this time” she said, then suddenly…“ANDY!!!!!” I heard Harris pissed voice from his room, Tres
Andy’s POV:I was still staring at Harris who just asked me to sign another contract with him. “I already answered your question, I can’t” I said with no hesitation, deep down, I was waiting for this to end, I was done waiting for him to love me back. And was done suffering from his love.He closed his eyes, then turned, “I didn’t know you can’t stand me this much” he said, his voice was soft, and broken. I frowned, I had no idea he cared this much, then I suddenly grabbed his arm, he turned to face me.“It’s not because I can’t stand you, it’s because I have a life too, and I’m getting old…I’ve never had a serious relationship. Do you think me looking to my friend who is getting married for the second time isn’t hard for me? Of course I’m happy for her, but…this reminds me that I’m not even close to this” I explained to him, and the other truth was that it was time to move on from him, but I couldn’t just tell him that!Harris nodded, looking away, he was still disappointed, but I kn
Andy’s POV:“Harris?” I whispered, he frowned, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets from shock, as he laid eyes on me. “Andy?” he asked, “what are you doing here?” he asked, I opened my mouth to explain, but was still confused, what the hell is going on?“I…I received this…” I said, giving him the note as he took his seat. He snatched the note paper from my hand, and read it. He rolled his eyes, “I received the same note, but I thought it was Chloe…” he started, then the realization hit me.“wait a minute…we received the same note…” I said, thinking to myself, who could possibly set this whole thing up? But then I figured. “you don’t have to worry about who planned for this, I think I know” I said, he narrowed his eyes.“why the hell would they do such thing?” he asked nervously, “I think it’s a desperate try to avenge us…I mean back when we locked them inside your office?” I said nervously, deep down I knew the real reason.‘You’re so fucking dead’ I typed a text and pressed t
Andy’s POV:“You really want this, huh?” Harris whispered in my ear, we were dancing to a slow song, “why not? Look how happy they are!” I said, grinning at him, he smiled looking at Tress and David. They were officially a husband and wife.“What would you do if someday you’ll find that person…I forgot you already did” Harris rolled his eyes, I gave him an annoyed look, he had no idea it was him, and it bothered me so much, that I looked away from him.“what if he loves you the same way you love him?” he asked, I shrugged, “I guess you already know the answer to that, you’ve been reading from my notebook a lot” I said, rolling my eyes at him. “Those are just words…” he said, I shook my head, “No, they aren’t” I defended, “so you’re telling me that everything you wrote in that notebook is everything you literally feel?” he asked, his eyes were studying me for an answer.I opened my mouth to answer him but we were interrupted, “Andy, it’s time for your speech” Mom called me from a close
Andy’s POV:I never thought I’d be so vulnerable to his touch, or his soft moans…Harris finally broke away, his eyes searching mine for answers. I was as much confused as him, looking into his dark eyes, filled with lust…We both were trying to catch our breaths, still so close to each other, “you have no idea how long I’ve been longing for this…” he whispered, his hands holding the back of my head, he leaned in again, eyes still locked with mine. “It’s your choice…to stop this” he said, then pulled me even closer.Our hearts beat as one, as Harris’s hands travelled from the back of my head to my back, then down, till he held me and started walking upstairs, to his room. We broke apart, both panting.I realized what he wanted at that moment, if I don’t stop him…there’s no turning back. Harris stopped, still holding me, I could feel his hard chest pressed against mine, and damn how that made me want him even more.Harris didn’t say anything, he only studied my face for an answer, but
Andy’s POV:“He was never you husband, Harris told me everything about the marriage contract, everything was fake…” she said, I felt like someone just stabbed me with a dagger, “what?” I asked, feeling shocked, and broken.“He’s done with you, you were nothing but a fake marriage contract to him” she started, “I gotta say, it’s kind of pathetic. I feel sorry for you poor girl, you love him, but he doesn’t consider you more than a tool…” she finished, her words cut deep into my heart…I heard those words before, they were the words that Harris always keep saying to me. And the worst part is last night, I’ve given him everything!I wasn’t able to react, I just stood there, staring at the void, not even staring at her face. “It’s okay, I’ll help you, you can pick any country, and I’ll take care of everything” she said, then approached me, “Harris will always love me…and only me” she whispered, then smirked. I felt tears starting to prick at the corners of my eyes, and an endless ache se
Harris’s POV:Holding her ring inside my hand, I tightened my grip, then looked to my reflection in the mirror. All I could see was how broken and devastated I was, and the next thing I did was calling my men, and headed out of the house.“Do you have any idea how stupid you are?” I asked, my men were focusing their eyes to the ground, they couldn’t dare and look at me, “I hired a group of idiots!” I said, my voice came out sharp and annoyed, as they flinched, seemed annoyed of my words.“Find her…and bring her back!” I ordered, “What are you waiting for?” I finished when they didn’t moved, but eventually they did.I couldn’t believe she left, I even started to panic and thought maybe someone had kidnapped her, but her stuffs were gone, and the ring she had left behind…I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, after everything we went through, and after we finally collided, she decided to leave. My fingers running through my hair, thinking she might have escaped with Sam…“Find Sam…” I
Andy’s POV: My eyes widened when the guy turned around, my doubts turned out to be true. 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. All the dancers baby on t
Harris’s pov:I was very surprised that Tress finally decided to talk to me. I was trying to talk to her for the past few months.“What do you want?” she asked, her voice annoyed and pissed. “Tress…please, can you listen to me before judging me?” I asked, “I’ll think about it” her voice was more calm.“I love Andy…and I know how much she loves me…” I started, “but I don’t think she needs me as much as I need her” I added, she remained silent for a moment.“I don’t think there’s another good friend that knows what’s good for his friend like you do” I said, “I just want to know what happened suddenly that made Andy leave?” I asked, she remained silent for a moment, “as if you don’t know” she said, making me shake my head.“I swear…I don’t” I said, “you have to stop all the acting, Andy knows about you and Chloe” she said, seemed honest. My eyes widened, “what?” I asked, feeling my heartbeat accelerating.“She knows that you were back to Chloe, and the worst part was that you told Chloe
Harris’s POV:I stood from my seat, her eyes were locked with mine, and I could feel my heart skipping a beat. 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. I made a few steps closer to her.She flinched, looking away from me, I
Andy’s POV:I was still staring at Hector, who was looking back at me. I was unable to move, standing in front of him as if I was a body without a soul.“What were you expecting?” he asked, “that you can do whatever you want, then just run?” he added, I frowned, then looked away from him.“This was your son’s idea…” I started, but he interrupted me, making closer steps towards me, “but you agreed to it” he said, I opened my mouth to protest, “you lied to all of us, especially to my wife” he said, he was pissed, and annoyed.I gulped, not having any idea of what to answer him, deep down, I knew he was right! 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
Harris’s POV:I knew that I couldn’t do that anymore, I was struggling and fighting back, just to stay away from alcohol. I hated the fact that I was weak, and needy. 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. Most of my meetings were no longer interesting, because she wasn’t around anymore.And most of the employees were confused, and negative all the time, and that made me more aware of the upcoming consequences. If I continue in this way, I’ll lose everything!“The doctor said she’s doing good, but…” My father said, “but she she’s still in coma” I said, dad look
Andy’s POV:“Are you alright?” Landen asked, I froze looking at him, then nervously wiped my tears, “yeah…sorry, it was an urgent phone call” I said with an apologetic look, he nodded, “it’s okay to have phone calls, as long as your work is done. It’s also okay if you want to read some of our books” he finished, I felt relieved that he was friendly.“Anyway, if you need any help with these documents, just ask for Elena’s help” he said before leaving me, I received another call, I decided to switch my phone off, since I have some work to do.After I finished all the work, it was lunch time. 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
Harris’s POV:My eyes were fixed on the girl with the black masked girl, the dress fit perfectly on her body, and her red hair made her more…I looked away from her nervously. 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
Andy’s POV:Harris was staring at the camera, he said he wanted to confess a lot of things. I stared at Abby, who seemed shocked, just like me. “My wife did leave” he started, then looked down for a moment. 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
Andy’s POV:“So, you’re his wife, I knew I saw you somewhere” Kim’s voice from behind, she was very shocked, “so, you’re Andy!” she added, I turned to look at her mad face, her arms were crossed over her chest, as she shot me a deadly glare.I never saw her as pissed, I opened my mouth to explain, but she stopped me, shaking her head, “and you lied about your name? this is a company, what were you going to do when we discovered your little lie?” she asked, still staring at me with the most disgusted look I could ever describe.It was so hard for me to see the disappointed look on her face. 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? After everything?” she asked, seemed more disappointed, “it’s not that I don’t trust you” I said, she looked away nervously, “if you don’t
