(Harper's pov)I stared at Ava who just stormed in, my eyes moving from my laptop to her. Ava and being dramatic were like 5&6."You never told me Alice was going to be an intern here," she asked furiouslyI stared at Ava confused, what was she talking about, Alice wasn't ready for an internship till next year."Alice? Internship?" I stood up from my seat and walked out, Ava followed behind.My gaze fixated on Alice, she was truly here, but how, Alice now turned to face me and smiled."Sis" she called out wavingI could hear murmuring in the room as all eyes stared at me, some condemning me for using my connection to get her a spot here.Grabbing Alice by the hand, I pulled her to my office shutting the door behind us."What do you think you are doing" I asked"What else, am here for an internship" Alice replied, walking around my office. "This is nice, I wonder how it feels getting an office like this," she said turning to beam me a smile"Did you sleep with the manager here, cause i

(Gideon's Pov)I listened to her as she explained her plans to me. I was uncomfortable with it, accepting Edward was far from what I expected."Are you sure about that Harper?" I asked, concernShe said nothing, picking up her drink she took a sip, before placing it down. "It's the perfect plan," she said"I know but aren't you uncomfortable being around Edward, you know he is a constant reminder of everything going on in your life" I explained"The more reason, I need this plan to work, they both need to pay, Alice is so obsessed with Edward, I don't know what she sees in him" She spoke feeling annoyedI folded my arms staring at her. "Everyone has preference, maybe she saw something in him she likes""Like what, then being a good nothing" She saidI smiled, I liked seeing her getting angry, it made her cute. "So you plan on lying to him, pretending to want him back then breaking his heart and humiliating him""Am only doing this to hurt Alice, once she sees that Edward is not worth

(Gideon's POV)My eyes shifted from my food to Jessica, who sat across me, she smiled with each stare. I was starting to lose my appetite.I leaned back on the chair and gave her a warm smile. Time to put on my flirting face."How's the food" I asked herShe stared at me, a smile at the corner of her lips. "I love the environment and the food tastes good" she answered"It will be weird to take you to your place of work to eat, you know "Bien Manger" I added waiting for her responseShe held my hand across the table. I shrugged, this was different, I tried to keep my composure as she spoke."Everything looks sweet, It's like you prepared hard for this date, am grateful" she thanked me, her eyes sincereSomething in me knotted, and I suddenly felt guilty and ashamed but I brushed it off, am not hurting her and I am not promising her anything.I might be deceiving her right now but am doing it for Harper who was the real victim here.Jessica is acting like her brother cheating on Harper

(Harper's Pov)I grabbed hold of my steering wheel, and a loud laugh erupted from me as I stared ahead. Those two moron.I just came back from Edwards's place, I knew Alice was going to confront Edward after today's show to play at the office. But catching them having sex again was just the height of it.Why does it hurt all over again and again? It shouldn't hurt right after all I felt nothing, absolutely nothing for him.But it hurt, seeing those same people repeating the same thing over again was hurtful. My eyes sting, "why does it hurt" I whispered.I searched through my bag, searching for my phone, I found it, I dialed Gideon's number, and it was ringing, he eventually picked up."Hey, am at a meeting" he stopped talking. "Why are you crying," he asked worriedly.But I said nothing as I continued to sob. "Are you driving?" Gideon asked again. "Where are you, park somewhere and I will pick you up""Am close to Edward's house" I managed to say between my sob. He asked me to remain

(Harper's Pov)What the hell was going on here, why was Gideon here, how did Jessica know Gideon? As we sat in the dining hall, my eyes moved from Jessica to Gideon."Where did you guys say you met again" I asked Jessica, as all eyes fell on me even Gideon."Oh we met at my place of work and we just happen to keep bumping into each other, right" Jessica answered, placing her hand on Gideon.I clenched my fist underneath the table, the sight repulse me, how dare Gideon do this to me? I aggressively cut my steak angrily as the utensils cling hard causing noise to erupt from it."Are you okay Harper?" Edward asked touching me, but I brushed him off."I am Fine," I said annoyinglyGideon smiled, his eyes never leaving mine, I needed to speak to him privately, was this the reason he was ignoring my calls?"My sister tells me you work at a technology firm, they must pay so good" Edward spoke."It is all due to hard work, there is a saying that hard work pays" Gideon responded, his eyes hold

(Alice's POV)I stared at the paper in my hand, confused, I had been careful, I was not the type to make such a mistake. My life is ruined.Was he going to accept the truth, that this was not the right time to get pregnant? Especially for a man who wasn't certain about what he wanted.It has been two weeks since I saw Edward, after what happened at Thanksgiving, I was very sure he was going to avoid me.I did ruin his family in the eyes of their guest, serve them right. The last person I had sex with was……. Noah.Fuck, how did I fucking go wrong with that one, Noah wasn't even a right choice for a family man. I had been so careful.I bite my lower lips harder, I need Edward to be responsible for this pregnancy, I have to make sure no one comes to know of this.It will be over for me once they find out about Noah, Harper will so much reliquench in joy, knowing I have once messed up.Noah can never know of this pregnancy and including Edward, this was my secret to bear and bear alone.I

(Edward's Pov)"What nonsense are you talking about, what do you mean you are pregnant" I yelled.Alice's eyes burn with contempt, "why are you yelling at me, It wasn't my fault you refused to use protection"I paced back and forth in the room, what the hell, Alice being pregnant, any relationship I want with Harper is over.I just got called into the disciplinary unit just last week, I know I overdid it this time, last time Harper saved me, but who will this save me this Time?"Are you sure am the father, You are known for your numerous boyfriends, Think well it could be any of them?" I asked herAlice slapped me across the face, anger burned in her. "You worthless bastard, how dare you say that to my face""You know am not lying, only you know best what you are capable of doing" I trailed off, rubbing the place I was slapped.Alice picked the pillows from my couch throwing them at me. I dodge each one of them."They warned me about you, you good-for-nothing bastard, I made a mistake

(Gideon's Pov)A satisfying smile appeared at the corner of my lips, I watched as Edwards tried to understand what was going on."I think it's best, I take my leave, sir, it seems like you are busy" I managed to say I stood up from where I sat, Edward's eyes darted from me to Mr. Henry, the situation was not in his favor.This was the beginning of his suffering, I haven't even started yet. I walk towards the elevator, staring at the buttons as they count."Unfortunately, my co-worker Edward was accused of stealing, but I always know his behavior will get him in trouble one day," The voice beside me said.I turned and stared at Noah, who stared at me, a wide smile spread across his face.I scoffed, as we both got into the elevator, and the number counted downward. I remain composed."Good job" I compliment him"It wasn't easy to frame someone like him, he was already walking on thin ice," Noah responded."Be careful who you tell that to" I warn him. "You sure don't want to join him"

LET THE GAME BEGIN~GIDEON’S POV~I stared at my phone, a slow smile spreading across my lips. Tonight would be special. A night she’d never forget. I set the phone down on the table in front of me, shifting my attention to the man sitting opposite me. Joshua, standing silently behind me, handed me the file I’d requested. I opened it without a word, flipping through each folder, and scanning page after page. My fingers brushed absently across my lips in thought. Finally, I lifted my gaze to Noah. He was practically shaking. I knew he’d screw up eventually. I just hadn’t expected him to fold this fast. “Do you have anything you’d like to tell me, Noah?” My voice was calm. Collected. Deceptively patient. Noah let out a nervous laugh, his hand trembling slightly as he picked up his glass of iced tea and took a long drink. I watched him closely, unmoved. Weak men always showed their fear in small ways first. I let my gaze drift, surveying the restaurant around us. A pai

PERFECT FAIRY TALE ~HARPER’S POV~Edward’s messages glowed on my screen, demanding attention.“We need to talk. Now.” “It’s about Gideon.”My fingers hovered over the screen, my pulse hammering in my ears. Gideon studied me, his expression unreadable, though I didn’t miss the way his jaw tensed slightly.“Edward?” he guessed.I let out a slow breath, locking my phone. “Yeah.”Silence stretched between us. “Are you going to him?” Gideon asked, his voice calm, almost too calm.I should. I should demand to know what Edward meant, what he knew about the man sitting across from me. I should care.But right now, staring at Gideon, the way he held his glass with an effortless kind of authority, the way his eyes lingered on me as if he already knew my answer…No.I wasn’t running to Edward. Not tonight. I tilted my head, my lips curving in a slow, deliberate smirk. “Wouldn’t that be rude? Walking out on my host?”Something flashed in Gideon’s eyes—approval? Amusement? Maybe both. He leaned fo

TASTING THE WATERS~HARPER’S POV~I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my jaw clenched as the argument with Alice replayed in my head. She always knew how to get under my skin. But what annoyed me most was the way she acted—like she regretted everything. I sighed. It was too early to let Alice’s mess ruin my day. The sudden ring of my phone pulled me from my thoughts. Glancing at the screen, a slow smile curled on my lips. Gideon. The memory of last night’s sex flickered in my mind—the way he took control, the way he owned me. I answered the call, teasing, “Can’t get enough of me?” A deep chuckle came from the other end. “Well, I wouldn’t mind coming over right now… just say the word.” A flutter ran through my stomach. God, this man knows exactly what he’s doing.“As tempting as that sounds, I have to work,” I said, clearing my throat, hoping he wouldn’t hear the effect his words had on me. “That’s too bad,” he mused, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice

(ENEMY WITHIN)~EDWARD’S POV~ “You’re still alive.” Noah’s voice cuts through my thoughts just as I lift another shot to my lips. I needed this drink. Ever since I woke up in that hospital and got discharged, life had been... too much. My mother and sister wouldn’t stop with their demands—loans, money, endless complaints. God, they were parasites, feeding off what little I had left. Dragging me back when all I wanted was to move forward. “You must have some kind of god watching over you,” Noah muses, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “Given how tough you’ve had it this year.” His chuckle grates on my nerves. “You enjoying this, aren’t you?” I snap, my grip tightening around my glass. “Watching me suffer. After all, you’re living the dream.” Noah snorts. “Dream life?” He finally looks at me, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Yeah, right.” That’s the thing about Noah—he’s the kind of guy who always lands on his feet. Good family, great education, sharp mind. Ha

A Night of Passion~HARPER’S POV~I stood there, my heart racing as Gideon's smirk turned into a look of pure, unadulterated desire. His hands felt like a brand on my waist, sending shivers down my spine. I knew at that moment that this night would be unforgettable."You have no idea how long I've wanted to do this," he whispered, his warm breath caressing my ear. His fingers tightened around my waist, and he pulled me closer, our bodies almost touching. I could feel the heat radiating from him, and my senses were overwhelmed by his masculine scent, a mix of musk and something uniquely Gideon."I want to show you something," he murmured, his lips brushing against my cheek as he spoke. "But first, let me take your coat."I nodded, my voice momentarily lost as I struggled to find the words. I let my jacket slide off my shoulders, revealing a simple black dress that hugged my curves. Gideon's eyes darkened at the sight, and he gently took the coat from my hands, hanging it on a nearb

(INTOXICATED SMELL)~HARPER’S POV~I stepped outside, my eyes scanning the parking lot, but Gideon and his friends were nowhere in sight. “Fuck, I miss him,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair. Pulling out my phone, I unlocked the screen and scrolled through my contacts until I found his name. My thumb hovered over the call button as I hesitated. *Should I?* “Well, I already came out here, so what the hell,” I mumbled to myself and pressed the dial. Straight to voicemail. I frowned, staring at the screen. That was strange. “Looking for me?” At the sound of his voice, I turned quickly. Relief flooded through me the moment I saw him standing there. A wide smile spread across my lips as I wasted no time pulling him into a hug. “I thought you left,” I murmured, tightening my grip around him. His scent filled my senses—masculine and intoxicating. “Leave? Without you? Never.” His arms wrapped around me securely. “I had to see my friend off. He was drunk.” I did

(OUT FOR A DRINK)~EDWARD’S POV ~I stood in Danny’s so-called loan shark office, a small, rundown building that looked like it had been taken from some unlucky debtor as collateral. Typical. But that wasn’t my concern. If Danny was really behind my attack and hospitalization, he had a lot of explaining to do. And as far as I was concerned, our deal? It was as good as dead. “Eddy, my man,” Danny greeted, leaning back in his chair with a smirk. “I heard what happened. But seeing as you’re still standing, I guess the beating wasn’t *that* bad.” This bastard. Did he think I was stupid? I *knew* he was behind it. “You must be disappointed, huh?” I shot back, fists clenching at my sides. “Since you sent your men to beat the hell out of me. This just blew a hole in our deal, Danny.” Danny didn’t react. His eyes—cold, calculating—stared at me in silence, making me shift slightly. Danny had always been the scariest one in our circle. The kind of man who made you think twice before

(A DONE DEAL)~GIDEON’S POV~ I stared at the stack of files in front of me, my desk cluttered with paperwork. It had been work, work, and more work. Dealing with so many mergers was exhausting, and the pressure to get everything done on time was weighing on me. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples. I missed spending time with Harper. My eyes shifted to my phone, sitting quietly on the desk. Maybe I should call her. I wanted to hear her voice. I tapped the screen, unlocked it, and scrolled to my contact list. Her name stared back at me, tempting me to tap it. I was about to give in to the urge when there was a knock on the door. I looked up as the door opened slightly, and Joshua, my assistant, stepped inside. He had that look on his face—the one that said he had news to deliver. “Is there a problem, Joshua?” I asked, setting my phone down. “The report you asked for, sir,” he said, making his way toward me and handing me a file. I took it, unlocking the folder

(Start Afresh)~ALICE’S POV~“What do you want?” Edward’s voice came through sharp and impatient on the other end of the line. I rolled my eyes at his attitude. He should be grateful I even bothered to call him. The nerve of this idiot. If it weren’t for the child growing inside me, I wouldn’t have bothered. Scratch that—I wouldn’t have even looked in his direction if I had a choice. But here I was, stuck in this mess with him. “Still at the hospital, I guess?” I said, keeping my tone casual, waiting for him to reply. “I’m not in the mood for games, Alice. Just get to the damn point.” His voice was clipped, laced with frustration. I shifted on the couch, leaning back into the cushions as I stared at the ceiling. “Don’t take your frustration out on me,” I snapped, my tone sharp. There was silence on the other end, thick and tense before he finally spoke again. “What do you want, Alice? Surely you didn’t call just to piss me off.” “Well, for once, you got something right,
