Alec POV

Aimee has been treating me with cold shoulders, and I don’t know what else to do. I have tried everything, and I am almost losing hope of getting her back. I stop the car in the garage, turning it off and resting my head against the steering wheel. Today marks our first anniversary, one year since we got married, and I made her mine again for later one lose her for good.

I get out of the car and get on my way home. When I open the door, I am hit by the incredible smell of a roast dinner. I frown, looking around as I close the door and neatly put my key, wallet, and phone on the table near the door.

“Aimee?” I let out as I walk further into the house and find Aimee in the kitchen with her EarPods on. She is swaying her hips as she moves to the rhythm of whatever it is she is listening to. I walk behind her and touch her shoulder, startling her. She looks at me with wide eyes and one hand on her chest as she breathes heavily.

“Sorry”, I let out, and she smiles. What made h

  • Pretend Girlfriend   Chapter 37 - I will find her

    Alec POV I am holding on to my phone as if my life depended on it. I have been making phone calls after phone calls trying to find out if anyone knows where Aimee is. Stella is not opening her mouth, and Ash is out of the country. “She went to him, and I bet she went to him”, I say aloud as I throw my crystal glass from my whiskey against the wall shattering it into a thousand pieces. I pass my hands through my hair when my phone starts ringing and I answer straight away. “Mr Darcy, thank you for getting back to me so fast”, I let out. I bet he could hear how desperate I sounded on the voice mail I left him. “Mr Hardy, how can I help you?” he asks, and I take a deep breath, Darcy is one of the best private detectives in the country, and his hourly rates are exuberant, but I don’t care. I will do anything to find out where Aimee is to go get her back. She was wrong in her letter. We belong together, we belong with each other, and I will make sure to prove it to her for the rest of

  • Pretend Girlfriend   Chapter 38 - There she is

    Alec POV “You are incompetent. How is it possible? It’s been one month, one fucking month”, I bark at Darcy, that is not standing in front of me. His head stands high as he takes a deep breath. “Mr Hardy, she is probably using someone else’s name. If she is not using her credit cards or anything, there’s not much I can do”, He says as I shake my head. I have been in Scotland for the past two weeks. That’s where she was last seen. Darcy has been looking for Aimee nonstop, and he got me here. I know he is doing his best. We have asked everyone if they have seen Aimee but nothing. I shake my head, pushing away the horrible thoughts that come to mind. We have checked every hospital, everywhere, but nothing, no trains, no buses, no taxis, no one recognises Aimee. There’s only one taxi driver we haven’t been able to contact because he is away. Who stays on holiday for more than one week? How can a taxi driver have money for holidays like this? I start pacing around when Darcy walks out

    Alec POV I came back to London as soon as I saw Aimee, she looks happy and I can’t be the one that will ruin her life. I have been writing her letters everyday and sending them with one single flower. I know that it’s creepy and maybe over the top, but I can’t stay far from her. “Alec, you need to eat”, mum says and I nod my head as I put some food onto my fork and bring it to my mouth. Mum looks at me with a sad face. I haven’t been able to go back home so I am staying with my parents until I grow a fucking pair of balls and go back home. But I don’t think I am capable of facing that house, the place where we lived together for one year. Where I made so many memories and where she killed them all. I guess you can say I am mourning my relationship. “Alec I am worried about you”, mum says and I raise my eyes to hers and I see genuine concern in them and I offer her a smile shoving some more food into my mouth. “I’m good mum, honest”, I let out under my breath. I hate that she is wor

    Aimee POV I open my eyes as I feel like I am being stabbed. I sit rapidly on the bed and hold on to my stomach. I’m only eleven weeks pregnant, and I know pain like this is not normal. I pull the duvet off of me and get out of bed, sauntering to the bathroom, holding on to the walls. I look at myself in the mirror before sitting on the toilet, my hair is messy, and I have bags under my eyes. I am exhausted, and morning sickness has been kicking my ass. No blood, good, that’s a good sign, isn’t it? Another stabbing pain assaults me, and a I see blood dripping down my leg. Tears pool in my eyes, and I shake my head and grab my phone to call an ambulance. I don’t know what to do. It is my first pregnancy, and I don’t have anyone. Alec. I have Alec. He has been writing a letter every day for the past few weeks. The ambulance arrived, and I didn’t even bother to change clothes. I am taken to the hospital, and as soon as I am placed in a bedroom inside the maternity ward, I decide I need

    Alec POV Aimee is being discharged today, finally, she’s been in this hospital for the past four days. We haven’t talked really, and we need to, I need to ask her why she didn’t tell me earlier, and we need to decide what to do next. I want her back, I need her to be back with me. “The car is waiting for us outside”, I let out and she nods her head as I guide her outside. She has her arm wrapped around mine as I pull her small suit case with us. I went to her house and packed some things for her. I have been staying in the hospital with her. I asked and they allow me to stay because she was in a private room. I guide her through the never ending corridors and down the lift. All she does is look at her stomach as she caresses it. I smile at the sight of her loving our babies the same way I love her and them. I open the back door of the car and she slides in, moving to the side and I sit next to her. I close the door as the driver places her suitcase in the boot of the car. The dri

    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

    Alec POV Aimee has been dealing with the pregnancy like a hero. She is my hero to be honest. She is the most amazing woman I have ever met. 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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.
