Chapter 2

His touch filled me. As our bodies pressed together, the heat between us was nearly overwhelming. His hand roamed over my body, igniting a fire within me I couldn't ignore.I tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer, and deepening our kiss. The world around us faded away, leaving only an intoxicating sensation of his lips against mine.Time seemed to stand still as we lost ourselves in each other, surrendering to the passion that consumed us both. Every nerve ending in my body was alive with desire, hungry for more.His kisses trailed down my neck, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine."Stop" I managed to catch my breath"What" he asked, his eyes filled with lust"I can't do this" I manage to say"You are joking right," he asked leaning in to kiss me back but I pulled away. "Did I do something wrong""No, it's not you, it's just me, I can't, not now" I stared at him hoping he would understand"Let me guess, you are holding back because of him" he questioned, I sat there

"What's going on Harper," he askedI stared at him, hatred, and rage-filled my inside, how could he sit here and pretend like everything was okay"How could you Edward" I asked him, the pain in my voice."What are you talking about, babe" he tried to hold my hand, but I pulled away"Don't you call me that" I simply told him"If you are going to act this way, I think it better I leave, I have an appointment by 4," he said standing up to leave"Appointment or Alice" I spoke out this time, I could see the confusion and shock on his face"What-what are you talking about" he stutteredI stared at my engagement ring, rolling and playing with it "I was faithful, I loved you, I supported you, all for what? I stare at him"Harper" he called out my name slowly, still trying to decipher if I knew about him and AliceBut my stare said it all, he sat down, his hand now placed on his mouth. "Babe, please, let me explain""That's the problem, Edward, what exactly are you trying to explain" I asked m

Gideon eye's narrowed slightly as if he was searching for some hidden truth within my answer. I could feel my heart racing, Unsure how he react he would react to my honesty. After a moment of silence, he sighed and looked away."Well," he began, his voice tangled with disappointment, it is not an easy question to answer, I understand that"Gideon's eyes narrowed slightly as if he were searching for some hidden truth within my answer.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and looked away."Well," he began, his voice tinged with disappointment, "it's not an easy question to answer, I understand that."I could sense his underlying frustration, but I wasn't sure if it was directed towards me or the situation as a whole.

Chapter 5

I rolled on the soft mattress, my hand feeling the other side of the bed. My eyes shot wide and opened. I stared at the space.I quickly sat upright, picking up the tee next to me and putting it on. I walked downstairs and there he was, looking perfect."What are you doing" I asked, walking to the kitchen counter as my eyes fell on him. Sitting at the kitchen table I held a cup of coffee that Gideon had brewed already.I watched Gideon fumble with the pancake batter in the mixing bowl. I took a deep breath and gathered the courage to speak. "Gideon I need to talk to you about something."Gideon turned to stare at me his eyes full of hope. "Sure what's up?"I hesitated for a moment before continuing. "I had a great time with you last night, but I don't want anything more than friendship. I'm still trying to figure out what I want in life, and I'm not ready for a serious relationship right now."Gideon's face fell, but he nodded understandingly. "Okay, I understand. I just wanted to mak

Forex Bank, renowned as the best and top firm bank in San Francisco, had been on my radar for quite some time.Their recent investment in Globe Rice and Technology sparked my interest, as it gave us a chance to rank 5th in the world of technology."Mr. Rice, I apologize for keeping you waiting," Mr. Henry said as he took a seat in front of me."No worries. I imagine you have a lot on your plate," I replied politely, smiling.Mr. Henry returned the smile. "Don't we all? I received the documents your PA sent me yesterday, and I must say, I was intrigued by your vision and plan," he said, chiming in."I'm honored," I responded, a smile forming on my lips. "So, are we on the same page regarding the contract, Mr. Henry? Time waits for no one," I tried to nudge him."Well, Mr. Rice, I will send my answer to you without fail tomorrow," Mr. Henry assured me."Trust me, you won't regret it," I guaranteed him.

(Gideon pov)I stared at the information in my hands. "Thanks, James," I told him, shutting the door. I was curious, I planned to help her, and this was my way of doing so.I knew she created the just friends boundaries but I will prove to her that she could trust me.I walked towards my living room, taking a seat on the couch as I glanced at each document.Edward Pierce, 28 years old, got promoted to manager last month. He is the only son of his family. Has a sister. "Jessica," I say out her name.Picking up her picture, I stared at him, I could use her to get to Edward, ruin him completely.I picked up my call and called Joshua. "Hello Joshua, please cancel my letting for today" I added"Is there a problem Sir" Joshua added at the other end."No Joshua, just busy, I have a big fish to catch," I said heading to my bedroom to get ready."A big fish??" Joshua askedA smile formed on my lips, as he tried to grasp the situation as I ended the call.According to my research, she works as

Chapter 8

(Edward pov)I pulled Alice aside. She was beginning to get on my nerves."Why are you so hell-bent on ruining my life with your sister? We had sex no big deal.""We had sex no big deal, is that how you are putting it" she questioned. "What if everything I did for you, was no big deal"I furrowed my brows, this was getting too much. I paced back and forth trying to understand the situation.I don't need Alice, I have no use for her, she was practically living under her sister's care, which currently she has lost. I don't need a liability right now.Harper is a perfect choice, she has a stable and good income-earning job, and she is resourceful in many ways. With her support, I know I will have the dream life I have always wanted."Baby I know you are confused, but trust me, we don't need Harper" Alice held my hand her eyes pleading."That's where you are wrong Alice, I need Harper, you need your sister more than anything, you are still in college, and you haven't worked in your life b

Chapter 9

(Harper's pov)I folded the boxes as I glanced around, hoping I got everything I needed. Edward stood in the kitchen, his eyes darting back to his phone and then back to me.His expression was sour, "did you tell our friends about our wedding being called off because I cheated on you" he asked, his coffee mug in his hand."Why are you asking me, it not like I'm that close to any of your stupid friends, they are just like you in all ways, stupid!" I responded backHis eyes stared coldly at me saying nothing, I continued uploading my things into the empty box I had next to me."You don't have to be mean about it, they supported our dating" he finally saidFeeling annoyed, I turned to face him. "They supported our relationship, the same friends that took you to a strip house and invited Kelly your ex-girlfriend to my birthday or is it the same friends that took you roller skating on our anniversary" I could go on, cause the list was much but seeing his expression i could tell he got my p

(Harper's pov)We lay on the bed, my head placed on Gideon's bared chest, "I thought you were still angry at me" I told him"Why would I be" he answered, placing a kiss on my head, "I just thought you needed time to sort things out"I smiled, If only Edward was half-decent like Gideon, I would have understood his stupid reasons for making stupid choices."So what have you been up to," I askedGideon stopped stroking my hair as he spoke. "Busy with work, got a new project coming up at my work firm""What did you say you do again" I sat upright, now staring at him.He smiled, "I never told you what I do Harper, we never actually made it to that conversation" he replied backI blushed feeling ashamed, I couldn't believe not asking someone I had slept with two times, gone out with, and even kissed what he does for a living.I was so attracted to him, that I forgot he was still a stranger."Am not usually like this" I tried to defend my action. "We just met at an unexpected time, I normall
