2024-10-29 19:42:56Aimee POV
Today is my wedding day. I can’t believe this is happening. I look at myself in the mirror wearing my white dress. I look like a model wearing this dress. It is beautiful, but it definitely wouldn’t be something I would choose for myself.
“Oh my God”, I hear Stella behind me. I turn around, and she is standing at the door with her hands covering her mouth and her eyes wide open, “You look stunning”, she says, walking in and closing the door behind her. I can see the tears in her eyes.
“Really?” I ask, not really sure about the dress. I know it is a beautiful white ball gown with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The details around the skirt make it look like it was made for a princess. This must-have cost a fortune.
“I am speechless, and you are stunning. Alec is going to die when he sees you wal

Alec POV I sit on the bed and rest my feet on the floor looking out of the window. I pass my hands through my hair and slowly come to a stand. Today is my wedding day and I am nervous. I never thought this day would come, especially with Aimee. I shake my head and walk into the bathroom where I rest my hands on the sink and lean in looking at my image in the mirror. Aimee has been keeping herself away from me, since we signed the papers for the pre-nut and the contract she looks at me as if I have three heads. She hates my guts. I haven’t been able to touch her as she came again with the not touching her nonsense again. She still hasn’t told me who touched her, who did that to her, who destroyed her soul. I shrug looking at my image and I turn the shower on. Hot water might help with the nerves and I was right. As soon as the hot water kisses my skin I feel instantly relax. As I close my eyes I see her face when we were delivering the money. The guy was scary, I’m not even gonna l
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 27 - Till death do us part part 3
Aimee POVAfter signing the papers, we needed Alec holds my hand as we walk out of the office. He stops walking and presses my back against the wall. His hands are resting on my waist while his eyes lock on mine, my hands resting on his chest, putting some pressure, so he stays away from me. I can’t deny the pull I feel for him. I still want him as much as I did all those years ago, but he is a different person, and so am I. He knows this is a pretend marriage, and I am not caving into my bodily desires. I am not giving into him. Alec takes a deep breath and leans down so his face is in front of mine, inches away, I can feel his breath on my face, and it smells of whiskey and mint. I feel a chill down my spine as his eyes eat me up. “You’re mine now”, he whispers, moving his mouth to my neck and placing a small kiss. I feel all my body tingling and push him away from me. As if taken aback by my posture Alec looks me in the eyes and blinks a couple of times. “Let me in, Aimee”, he wh
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 28 - The truth
Alec POV “What was that all about?” I hear Alec asking as he walks into the bathroom soon as his mother leaves. I look over my shoulder to see him resting his back against the door. He looks upset, and I take a deep breath as I stand up and rest my right hand on my stomach as I walk toward the sink. Our eyes meet through the mirror, and I can see the anger blazing from him. I can feel it burning on my skin, and I can feel it burning a hole in the back of my head. I turn around now, facing him, and he is inches away from me. I don’t know what to say or how to say it, and I know he won’t believe me. “I-I don’t know what to tell you”, I let out, and Alec’s hands rest on my waist as he looks me in the eyes. “Are you having an affair with Paul?” his words come out like knives, and they cut me, cut me deep, more profound than anything he has ever said before. How can he even think that? I hate that guy, I hate everything that he stands for, and I hate the fact that he has this effect
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 29 - The first night
Alec POV “Where is Aimee?” I ask Stella as she shrugs and holds her skirt up while we walk back and foreword looking for Aimee. “Her flowers”, she gasps, posing at the end of the corridor, and we walk there, I pick them up, and I can hear muffled sounds. What the fuck. I look around, and that’s when the door opens, and I can see Aimee with a busted lip, crying and Paul on his knees, cursing under his breath as his eyes fly open to looking at me. Without thinking twice, I walk inside and grab him by his collar and press him against the wall as he lies to my face. “Mate, she called me here”, Paul states and I can’t believe he is doing this to me. He is lying to my face. About my wife, about the woman I loved, and I know he has been manipulating me our entire lives. I punch him straight on the nose, and his head bangs against the wall, and he falls to his knees with a hand covering his nose with his hand. His nose is gushing blood. I walk to Aimee, who is still holding on to Stella,
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 30 - Gala
Aimee POV “Are you ready?” I ask Alec as I walk back into the bedroom. I can see him sitting on the edge of the bed as he puts his shoes on. Alec raises his head and looks at me, nodding. He shows me a small smile, and I can’t help but melt. We have spent a lot of time together, and I think I am falling again for him. He has been super attentive and sometimes too overprotective. As I start walking out of the bedroom, Alec’s hands grab me by my waist, pulling me towards him. I can’t help but let out a loud gasp in shock as I wasn’t expecting for him to do that. I face him, and he rests his forehead on mine as he places a small kiss on the tip of my nose. I smile up at him, and then he pulls away and gives me his hand. We walk hand in hand out of the apartment we have in New York. I have never been here, and I can’t believe this is where we are spending our honeymoon. We have been walking around New York without any concerns about the press. No one knows who we are. No one even care
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 31 - Payne enterprises
Alec POV “Mr Hardy, what a pleasure”, I hear as soon as I walk into the office. I look around to see around ten men, I don’t know who they are. I smile politely and walk to the end of the table where my name is set on a sign. I undo my suit jacket with one hand as I place my briefcase on the table in front of me. “Gentleman, it is a pleasure”, I say as I take a sit and everyone follows me. They start introducing themselves as the board of the Payne enterprise. I nod my head to each one of them after them telling me who they are and exactly their roles. I hate this sort of meetings, they are boring and not productive. But it needed to be done. After an excruciating meeting I leave towards my new office and I look inside to see London’s amazing view through the window that is behind my desk. I will have to hire a CEO for this company as I am not interested in doing it myself. I already have my own job and my own responsibilities. I sit on my desk and look around. The old man had goo
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 32 - Anniversary
Aimee POV After lightening up the candle in the dining room table I look down at myself and I can’t help but feel my face heat up. I am wearing a silk robe with only lingerie underneath. I am surprising Alec today. Today is the anniversary of our first date ever, and I thought that as we are doing so well, we could celebrate and maybe make this relationship actually work, make it real instead of fake. Alec knows my deepest darker secret and I believe he didn’t know I was telling the truth at that time, we were young and he was blind with jealousy and it was his best friend after all. I hear the door opening and I smile at the thought of Alec walking in on me. I take the robe off throwing it on the floor at my feet and I climb onto the table and lay down in the middle between the candles. I smile as I lay there trying to look sexy and I hear Alec calling for me. “Babe, I had the most hideous day, can we leave the surprise for another time?”, he asks as I hear him walking around the h
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 33 - Fight
Alec POV “Mr Hardy”, I hear Veronica’s voice call through the sound system in my office. I roll my eyes and pass my hands through my hair. This day can’t get any worse. “Yes”, I bark in response as I press the button on the system. I sit back on my chair, throw the papers back at the table, and take my glasses off. “There’s someone here to see you, sir, Aimee?” she says, and I stand up immediately and walk out of my office towards Veronica. I find Aimee smiling nervously as she looks at Veronica. “Hey”, I say as I approach her, and she smiles back at me. “Veronica, this is my wife, Aimee. She doesn’t need to be announced, ever”, I let out, and Veronica smiles, nodding her head. I take Aimee’s hand after smiling politely at Veronica, and I pull her into my office. As soon as I close the door, I press her body against it and push my body against her. She is now trapped, and she smiles, resting her hands against my chest as I kiss her neck slowly. “Alec, I didn’t come here for sex”,

Epilogue Today is the big day. After she knocks on the door, Mum walks into the room I am staying in the hotel. I bring my glass with the amber liquid to my lips as I taste it. I have never been so stressed and nervous in my life. This is not our first wedding, but this is the real deal. This is the one, the one that will keep us tied together for the rest of our lives, the one we will rip all the contracts that were signed, and we will just sign a will leaving everything to our children. That is it. Mum walks to the liquor cart and pours himself a drink as she sits next to me, crossing her legs as we look out of the big window. We are having a small affair in the countryside. Aimee said she always dreamed of a spring wedding in a beautiful place outside, so that’s what she’s having. She has everything she has ever wanted. No, look at the expenses. “How are you feeling, son?” mum asks, breaking the silence. I look at her and smile softly. She is looking older, and she has aged a

Alec POV I closed my eyes, shaking my head, sitting on the edge of the bed while Aimee finished zipping up her black dress. As soon as she’s done, she walks to me and kneels in front of me with her hands on my face. I look into her eyes, and I see it. I know the pain she is feeling. The same pain I am feeling. “Are you okay?” she asks, shaking my head. I haven’t been able to shed a tear, but Aimee has been crying for the both of us. “No, I am not”, I let out under my breath. Aimee leans in closer and kisses me on the lips, and I close my eyes, feeling her proximity. “Mrs Hardy, they are ready”, The nanny says through the closed door. “I’ll be right there”, Aimee replies as she stands up and grabs her shoes. Before leaving the room, she looks back at me, closing the door behind her. I sink my face between my hands and allow the sorrow to take over. After a while, I stand up and look at my reflection in the mirror. I adjust my black tie and my black suit and walk out of the room
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 48 - Surprise
Aimee POVMy entire body is sore, and today we have Abbey spending the day with the twins while we deal with the shit show that has become our personal life. Today is Paul’s trial, and both Alec and I are witnesses in the case. His wife asked for a divorce and was granted it straight away, and she moved to Scotland with her children. I can’t blame her, and she said she doesn’t want to be around him or anything that reminds her of the hard time he put her through. “Are you ready?” I ask as I walk into Alec’s office. He raises his head from whatever he looks at and gives me a slight nod. I walk around his desk as he pulls back, giving room for me to sit on his lap. I look at his desk, and I see the photo album from the university. Photos of the three of us together, and then one photo of them as children. Paul in a bike as Alec was on top of his skate, both of them laughing as they were racing. I feel my chest get tighter at the suffering this day is bringing to my Alec. I have a surpr
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 47 - Sex
Alec POV “Alec… Alec”, I hear Aimee whispering next to me. I open my eyes and jump out of bed. “What? What happened?” I ask, looking around the dark room, and I can hear the soft giggle coming from Aimee. “Be quiet”, she says, and I nod my head looking at her, she is smiling, and I can’t believe I nailed a girl like her, beautiful, intelligent and caring. “What happened?” I ask as I sit back on the bed, passing my hands through my hair. “Can you hear that?”, She asks, and I look around the room, trying to find the source of noise she is asking about. I frown as I try to hear anything. “Nope, what is it?” I ask, and Aimee wraps her arms from behind on my neck and kisses my cheek. “Silence, they are asleep”, she says, and I turn around, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her to me. She giggles as I pull her to bed and hover over her. Aimee looks me in the eyes, and I can see the heat in them. It’s been months since we last been alone together, and I am craving her l
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 46 - Waking up
Alec POV I try to open my eyes but it’s hard, heavy, I force myself to open them and I am hit instantly by.a bright light that makes me close them immediately. It’s too bright. Slowly I open them, trying to get them used to the light and when I do I look around trying to figure out where I am. It’s a white clean room, I can hear a lot of beeping sounds. I can’t really move as pain irradiates through my body as I try to. I close my eyes again and pray for the pain to go away. The door opens and I hear steps into the room. I open my eyes again and I see a lady dressed in blue. She looks at me and smiles. “Welcome back Mr Hardy”, she says and I look around, I try to speak but my throat is dry and so is my mouth, I feel like it is full of sand. I look around and find a cup with water next to me. She smiles and walks to be offering the cup taking it to my lips. I gulp a little and drink some water relieving the pain on my throat. I look around but I can’t see anyone waiting for me. I bl

Alec POV“Don’t hurt the babies”, I let out in panic as Alec starts laughing looking at Aimee. Then he looks down between them as he is straddling her and he winces, I frown watching the scenario in front of me as he pulls her hair back again laughing out. He looks deranged, he really looks like he has lost the plot and I don’t know how to get to him.“I guess your babies will be meeting their maker sooner than what we thought”, Paul barks at me and I can see Aimee crying in pain as he keeps pulling her hair. I take a couple of steps closer still showing him my hands in surrender. And I decide it is time to negotiate with him. The police is taking way too long to get here. That is if Amber really called them. Is she in this with him? Panic strikes over me as I offer to switch places with Aimee, ill stay here with him and Aimee will go. Paul stands up pulling Aimee with him and I can see the wet patch on her leggings. Her waters broke

Aimee POV “Where do you want the blankets?”, Abbey asks as she folds the blankets we bought last week. I smile looking at her as I tell her to put on the third drawer of the changing unit. She nods her head and smiles as I keep making the beds. I place the fitted sheet on the cot and smile looking at it. We decided we didn’t want to find out the sex of the babies. So everything is white, yellow, green and grey. The nursery is decorated with Dumbo things as it is very neutral. “I have something for you”, Abbey says and I turn to face her. She passes me a small blanket, and I smile. It has Alec engraved in it. I open the blanket and stare at it. It’s beautiful. “Oh abbey, this is beautiful”, I say and she smiles resting one hand over her heart. “It would mean the words to us if the babies could use it”, Abbey says and I nod my head. Agreeing they will both use it, it’s beautiful and it’s their father’s so we will keep it safe and use with the babies. I know Alec will love it, and

She has been staying at home the last couple of weeks, she has been cleaning and tidying up and making everything nice for the babies arrival. The new house is ready and we are moving in next week. She made the nursery just the way she wanted, I wanted two, one of each baby and she told me I am insane, they can share apparently. I just want them to have their own room, but she claims that twins need to stick together, they have a bond we will never be able to understand. “Mr Hardy, there’s someone here to see you”, I hear my new secretary’s voice chime through the phone. I ask her who it is and she says it is Amber Bass. I roll my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. I haven’t seen her in ages, since her husband tried to rape my wife, again. I close my hands into fists and take a deep breath. I don’t know what she wants but I am not happy about
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 42 - Going back to reality
Aimee POV “Alec, there’s no need for that, we are both adults and perfectly capable of sharing a bed”, I let out and he nods his head as his eyes focus on his hands on his lap. I can’t believe he is nervous about sharing a bed. I know its been a while but we can share a bed and not do anything. After all we are both grown ups and we can control ourselves. Alec walks to my small bedroom with me and he stops at the door. He then walks in behind me and sits on the edge of the bed as I get comfortable on the left side of the bed. I pull the duvet up to my chest and look at him as he lays on top of it. I turn to my side facing him and he turns his head to look at me. His hands resting on his stomach. “Alec, you’re gonna get cold”, I whisper and he shakes his head. He then takes a deep breath and closes his eyes as if forcing himself to stay still. “I should sleep somewhere else, you need to rest”, he let’s out as he is about to stand up. I grad his arm and his eyes meet mine. I shake
