Next day

Michelle.

When I woke up, my head was pounding, and the weight of something warm beside me made me freeze. I opened my eyes slowly, and took in my surroundings, the sight of Novan's room, his stupidly unfamiliar room, hit me immediately and I jolted up in shock. I wasn’t in my bed. I wasn’t even in my house.

And then it hit me harder, I was naked under his sheets.

“What the hell?” I muttered, my heart racing as I adjusted to face him, pulling the duvet tightly around me. The movement must’ve woken him because, of course, Novan stirred awake right beside me. He blinked lazily, smirking like this was all normal. Like it wasn’t the worst mistake of my life.

“Morning,” he said, stretching, pretending to be oblivious of my anger. I rolled my eyes and snapped at him,

“Are you serious right now? You knew I was drunk, and you still—” I stopped myself, the words choking me. Heat flushed through my entire body, I felt a mix of anger and humiliation.

“How could you?”

    MeanwhileHarper.“Hey sleeping beauty,” I heard Damon utter beside me, I gently turned in my bed to face him, he was laying on his side in his own bed with his hands underneath his cheeks.I groaned lightly as I stretched out and sat up on my bed, I dipped my hands into my hair and massaged my scalp softly.“You seemed to have gotten enough rest,” he said to me, his small cute smile still not leaving his lips.“I won’t lie that I didn’t, I feel so good,” I replied and he chuckled lightly.“What about you, are you fine?!” I asked and he nodded slowly sitting up on his bed also.“I am, the doctor is quite surprised on how fast I healed, I’m not surprised though, you were by my side the whole time, that’s your effect,” he said and I bursted out laughing. We shared a small laugh.“You hungry?!” He asked and I nodded affirmatively, I slept for hours, I actually felt really hungry.“I know,” he muttered as he gently got up from the bed, he gently placed his hands on his stomach and began t

    Harper. Later that eveningThe door to our ward slowly creaked open, Damon and I glanced up at it, Lisa and Leslie stepped in through the door and walked towards us.“Oh my God,” Leslie gasped placing her hands over her mouth immediately she saw us, she increased her pace and hurried over to the side of my bed.“Miss Harper, I’m so sorry, I did not know it was this serious,” she muttered, I chuckled lightly and placed my hand on her shoulders, “It’s fine Leslie, it’s nothing serious, we’re fine,” she looked up at the bandage wrapped around Damon’s head and slowly back at me,“This doesn’t look like it wasn’t serious,” she muttered,“Let’s not be dramatic alright, I’m actually okay, I’ve been here two days already, the doctors have been doing a great job,” I said to her and she nodded slowly.“C-can I hug you?!” She asked, I flashed her a smile and nodded slowly, I stretched out my hands to her, she gently leaned in closer to me and wrapped her hands around me softly.“Other’s might

    Five Days Later …Harper.“Alright love, I just got to work, please text me your progress okay?!” I said to Damon as I drove into the company premises and drove straight into the underground parking lot. We were both discharged from the hospital yesterday and we are back to normal like nothing ever happened. “Ofcourse, I will” he responded, I parked appropriately and turned off my ignition, I reached for my bag in the seat beside me and took out my phone from the phone holding in my car.“Alright baby, goodluck,” I said to him as I opened the door to my car and stepped out.“I love you,” “I love you too,” I responded and with that I ended the call. I exhaled deeply, gently slipped my phone into my bag and made my way towards the Elevator. ***“Welcome back Miss Harper!” All the staff chroused in one accord immediately the Elevator doors dinged open and I stepped back, I paused in my tracks taken aback by the pleasant surprise. I gently raised my bag to the crook of my elbow, my li

    Meanwhile, Harper.“Hey Boo,” I greeted Damon as I pulled the door to my apartment open for him, I stood to a tiptoe and he wrapped his hands around my waist as our lips locked in a small kiss.“How was your day?!” He asked as we disengaged from the kiss and we made our way inside the apartment.“Great,” I said as I walked into the kitchen and took out a glass of juice for him, I rambled on and on as I told him every single detail about how my day went, how the staff surprised me, the conversation I had with Collin, while giving him details of how I met Collin and basically everything that happened today. He chuckled lightly, raised his glass to his lips and took a sip from it.“ What’s with the smile,” I muttered raising my brow in confusion.“Oh wow, now you’ve perfected the art of telling me about your day, few months back, you could only stutter when I ask,” he said, I raised my brows at him smiling sheepishly and shaking my head sideways.“Oh wow, so you’re teasing me now,”“Ofc

    Next day, 8:30am Daphne.“So your mother is getting married?!” Collin asked, I chuckled lightly as he grabbed my hands and led me to his car. “Yeah, he has a daughter too, she’s abroad, we’re older by two years though, his wife died immediately after childbirth, so he’s been single for a very long time too,”“Hmm, yeah, he’s a nice guy. Mom seemed very happy, I’m happy for the both of them” I said. He smiled at me as he gently grabbed the door and pulled it open for me, I got in, he slammed the door behind me and got into the driver seat.“I guess we have a wedding to plan,” he said, I nodded continuously with a smile,“I really can’t wait, but Mom doesn’t want a loud wedding. Just intimate family and friends and they want to do it as soon as possible” I asked.“Wow, that’s cute” he muttered, he turned to glance at me before turning back onto the road.“So what do you plan to do today?!” He asked, I exhaled deeply and leaned into my seat.“First Damon is waiting for me at the office

    Harper.“Rose?! Like Rose my mother’s assistant?!” I asked with dropped jaws, he shook his head and nodded slowly as he picked up a slice of steak on his plate and dropped it on my plate. “I was as shocked as you are when I heard it,” he replied, I stabbed the steak with my fork and raised it up to my lips.“You mean I have two sisters and not one?!” I asked slowly chewing on my steak as I considered the thought.“That’s surprising,” I added, he picked up another sliced stake and dropped it on my plate, I murmured a thank you and continued with my food.“But seriously my mom is insane, I don’t know why I’m not surprised she did all of that,” I said, he raised his shoulders up in a shrug.“Mr Sanders wants us to rescue his daughter, he’s willing to gives us all the evidence we need, provided that she escapes unscathed” he said and I nodded slowly.“How do you plan to do that?! Do you want me to talk to her on your behalf?!” I asked, he looked up at me and exhaled deeply.“I’d really

    Harper.Ten minutes to close time.A gentle knock came on my door, I was already packing up my bag to leave the office, I paused and slowly looked up at the door. After knocking twice on the door, whoever it was pushed the door open and walked in. “Good Evening ma’am” Rose greeted as she stepped into my office, a smile touched my lips and I nodded slowly at her greetings. I let go of my bag and turned fully to face her.“Your assistant informed me that you’d like to see me,” she said, I nodded slowly in reply as I walked away from behind my table and moved closer to her.“How have you been?!” I asked, her brows furrowed almost immediately, I could tell she was shocked on why I was asking her that.“I’m sorry Ma’am, I do not have a lot of time on my hands and I most definitely do not want to get in trouble with Ma’am Geraldine,” she replied politely, my lips stretched into a smile, I nodded firmly as I slowly turned back onto my table and picked up the file Leslie brought in earlier.

    Next Day.Geraldine. The quiet hum of fluorescent lights buzzed overhead as I strode down the sterile hallway of the Retirement Home hospital. My heels clicked in rhythm of confidence. My nose wrinkled up in disgust at the smell of disinfectant and drugs as I walked along.At this hour, the place was mostly deserted except for a few staff members who nodded politely as I passed. They didn't question my presence; no one dared. I had ensured that.My fingers curled tightly around the door knob of room 237 , This ends now.I gave the door a small push and it creaked open, revealing dim light spilling through thick curtains. I looked around, a fat smile spread on my face immediately my eyes landed on Philip, he sat in an armchair by the window, his frail body swallowed by blankets. He looked up as I entered, eyes widening. The once-proud and extremely handsome man had become a shadow of his former self. His gray hair was thin and wild, face drawn with deep lines of regret and fear.“Ger

    One months later .Harper.As Damon and I walked out of the wedding reception hall, hand in hand, the sound of cheers and applause surrounded us. The air was filled with excitement, love, and celebration as our family and friends gathered around, clapping and throwing rose petals into the air. My heart pounded in my chest, the reality of what we had just accomplished sinking in—we were finally married. After all had been said and done, I was finally spending the rest of my life with the man I loved the most.I looked up at him, my husband, and he gave me that smile, the one that made my knees weak every time. It felt surreal. After everything we had been through to get here, after all the obstacles and moments of doubt, we had made it. We were bound together, forever.The cool evening breeze hit my face as we stepped outside, but all I could feel was the warmth radiating from his hand in mine. Our family followed close behind, their joyful laughter echoing around us as they took pict

    Five days later. Geraldine.I paced through the bustling terminal of the international airport, I was putting on sunglases and an oversized hoodie and sweatpants to hide my identity.I had carefully been planning my escape, I had prepared these travel documents a long time ago as plan B, I used my maiden name nobody ever knew me as. Two days ago, Michelle was arrested, the investigations Harper began were finally completed, also she happened to have been involved in Damon’s Ex plans, she was taken into custody alongside Jade awaiting trial. Novan was also caught trying to kill Harper, and trust these little bastard to drag me right into the mud with them, they both became very sentimental and unreasonable after Michelle got pregnant. These are the issues! These are the exact reasons I hate children.

    4:00pmDamon. “Harper was dismissed?!” I repeated immediately Collin mentioned it, he nodded slowly in response to my words and he went on to explain how it happened.“Shit!” “How is she ?! Is she doing fine?!” I asked as I looked up at Rose.“Obviously not, she’s still in her feelings and she says she just wants to be alone,” Rose replied.“How can she just want to be alone, someone has to be with her,” I said, she shook her head slowly.“No I think she should be left alone,” Rose said, I exhaled deeply and leaned into the chair, I dipped my hands in my hair ruffling it slightly. “What do we do guys, honestly we channeled all our effort in one direction, we didn’t have any plan B,” I muttered, Rose sat up straight in her chair looking between Collin and I.“There’s someone I’ll like you to meet,” she muttered and almost immediately the door open revealing Lisa and someone else behind her, “Thank you Lisa,” Rose said, she responded with a slight bow and with that she turned arou

    Meanwhile, that same morning.Damon. I parked in front of the Jade apartment, I stepped out of my car and dashed to her front porch, I banged my hands on her door continuously, my patience waning by the second. The door went open, without even letting her say a word I violently pushed the door wider and walked in, she flinched lightly as she let go of the door knob and stepped away immediately. “It was you! You did this!”“You saw that I was drunk and you took advantage of me!” I yelled the veins in my neck popping out, she scoffed as she slowly folded her hands around her chest, “I took advantage of you?! Everyone saw the video and it seems to be the other way around,” “Your hands were all over me, you couldn’t get enough of me! You enjoyed it as much as I did!”“Can’t you see Damon?! We are meant to be, you love me,” she muttered stepping close to me, as she raised her hands to my chest, I angrily grabbed her hands and twisted it behind her,“Oww, that hurts!” She squeaked and

    (Immediately after the meeting)Rose. “Have you found Michelle?!!” I paused in my tracks, my hands slowly loosened around the knob to Geraldine’s office , I stepped close and pressed my ear against the door“No ma’am, she’s not at her place , Novan is confused also, her friend’s apartment have been under locks for a while, I guess they ran away together,” “Leslie at this point I don’t need any negative answers from you, you should do your job perfectly,” I raised my hands over my mouth immediately she mentioned the name of the person she was having a conversation with. Oh my God! Who would have thought! Leslie?!“What about Harper?! Anything I need to know?!”“Ma’am Everything is under control, you’ve ruined all their evidences against you, at the moment everything is going south for them,”“Good! Now get back to your work station before anybody suspects anything,” I heard Geraldine say, I immediately stepped away and hurried over to the next passage way, after some seconds, I peak

    Next Day Damon.My eyes slowly fluttered open, the moment I opened my eyes I felt a banging ache in my head, I winced in pain as I raised my hands to my head and rubbed my forehead slowly, I slowly sat up on the sofa where I was seated. There was a glass of alcoholic wine and a cup on the floor, I mistakenly kicked the glass with my legs but luckily it didn’t break. I looked down at my self, my shirt was undone, even the zip of my pant trousers, I exhaled deeply, the pain in my head still as prevalent as ever, just how much did I have to drink yesterday. I picked up my phone laying carelessly on the floor and stared in it, 07:00 am. It was already morning, I’m sure some workers would have arrived, I buttoned up my shirt and dressed up properly, I wanted to pick up my laptop bag but I decided against it, I’ll be coming back to the office very soon, I just wanted to go home and get changed, and come back to the office. I picked up my jacket and headed out of the office. “Ohh!” Lisa s

    Damon.9:00pm I didn’t even know what to think right now, my head was empty, very empty, I already drank every single thing in my head away. I was dead drunk, I don’t usually drink talk more of getting drunk but with everything that had been happening recently I drank way more than my liquor limit. I’m amazed at the fact that I was able to drive without getting into an accident. I slowly looked up at the building I was parked in front of, ohh shit! The office. How can I be here, I really thought I was driving home and had gotten home. Ohh boy, I might as well pass the night here, I pushed the door open, staggered out barely keeping my acts together, I almost fell but I quickly grabbed onto the car door to steady myself, I squeezed my eyes shut tightly hoping to steady all the images spiralling before my eyes but I couldn’t, I gave up, slammed the door shut, locked it and headed into the office. Everyone had locked up and gone home, I fumbled with the lock for quite some minutes befo

    Harper.“You misplaced the drive?!” Mr Henry exclaimed over the phone, I dipped my hands in my hair and ruffled it rigorously, pacing my office aimlessly. “I’ll make sure to find it I promise,”“There’s no need for that, Geraldine just left my office, she had it and she has destroyed it,” he said, I paused in my tracks immediately and looked up.“What!”“Yes! Obviously,”“But who could have told her about it,” he exhaled, I exhaled deeply and slowly dropped on to the sofa behind me,“That’s the thing! I have no idea,” I sighed frustratingly, I heard him exhale deeply over the phone,“Okay, let’s talk later, I’ve got to go” he said, I nodded slowly as I gently removed the phone from my ear and dropped it on the table. Just then the door opened and Collin walked in, “Harper ..”“Mr Henry just called,” I said cutting Collin off, he stepped forward and propped closer to me,“What did he say?!”“That we shouldn’t bother searching for it, Geraldine destroyed it right in front of his eye

    Meanwhile.Michelle.“Tell me why you haven’t been picking up my calls!”I looked up to see Novan barge into my hospital room and slammed the door behind me, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, obviously he’d be able to enter now, I sent the guy my mom out to monitor me on an endless exhausting errand, he paused in his tracks and looked up at me,“You’re packing, you’re leaving?! Did the doctor say you can leave?!” He asked all at once, I ignored him and kept on packing my things, I didn’t want to stay here anymore, it’s no longer safe for me, I want to leave. “Atleast tell me where you’re going!” He said as he grabbed my hands and turned me to face him, I bit the insides of my lips and snatched my hands away from him, I looked around the room, immediately I sighted the CCTV camera, I took off my platform slippers and aimed it at it, I didn’t miss, the CCTV camera came shattering down, “I’m going somewhere safe!” I finally said as I walked up to where I threw my slippers , pick
