Shattered Vows Chapter 19
(Edward’s Pov)“Call him” I yelled at Jessica, tossing her the phone. She picked up the phone staring at it, her eyes moving from me then back to the phone.“Sorry but who am I calling” She questioned, looking confused.“That Gideon guy, call him, it's urgent” I snapped pacing back and forth to Jessica's apartment.“What's going on Eddy, you are scaring me, what happened, did you get into trouble again, how much did you borrow this time,” she asked I ignore Jessica's voice, I was going to get fired, what fucking One million dollars was Mr. Henry talking about. This was a setup, who the hell had the guts to do this and set me up for it? I slowly loosened my tie.“Aren't you close with that Gideon guy? You said he had the money right, that he was doing well, call him, maybe he could help me out” I pressured Jessica.“Eddy haven't you been hearing all I have been saying for the past five days, he ended things before they even started thanks to Alice” Jessica explained.“What the fuck

(Harper’s pov)I could feel his finger trailing the line in my back, his warm lip pressing kisses all over my body.“I have to go to work Gideon” I chuckled. My fingers played with his hair.“Just a minute, I just can't let go” Gideon whispered.I turn to face him now, his eyes perfect for his perfect sculpted face, those jawlines were made especially for him.I cupped his face in my hand, slightly brushing his face. “I desperately want to stay but I have a presentation to give,” I told him, trying to get up but he held me down.“Gideon” I dragged his name “Am sorry love, but I really can't let you go now,” his voice brushes against my ear, sending a wave of electricity all over my body.His mouth is connected with the way his hand is sliding down my arm. Is all too much, all so good.“You taste so good Harper” he moaned between kisses.I gave out a breathy laugh as he leaned in. His lips brushed, testing, soft, and warm. He pulled back, his eyes staring at me.“Do you still want to

(Harper’s pov)Greece? A mistake I had planned on keeping till I died but fuck it, trusting Alice with such vital information.What was I thinking, I got wasted and then was in bed with my tourist guide, he was very handsome like those Greek gods, maybe Ares was a perfect description.Or Artemis, maybe Eros, he was freaking handsome is all I have to say and he was being too friendly.We decided to hang out one last time before I called my vacation off, I just fought with Edward and I thought it was probably the end of our relationship back then.Unfortunately, he apologized and did all sorts of things to win my affection back and I fell for it.Going back I just realized that the only time Edward had been sweet to me was when he wanted to apologize or he needed a favor.What a fucking bastard, why should I feel bad, it not like we are dating anymore.I picked up my glass of iced tea, taking a full gulp as I glared at Edward.“Am I supposed to apologize or feel bad, mine was a mistake,

(Gideon’s Pov)I hated the fact that she kept lying to my face, she had promised to not meet him up. But yet she went behind my back and did the opposite.What if he had hit her, why would she even give ears to what he had to say?“Gideon, are you okay” she asked as I drove in silence. I had waited for Edward to leave to drive her home since she wanted to keep our relationship secret.“Am fine” I lied, “I know you are angry about Edward but I can explain” she trailed in.“Explain what? You lied to me this morning when I asked who was on the phone, why didn't you tell me” I questioned,Harper said nothing, her eyes stared at my face but she quickly turned away.“Why can't you give me a reason, do you still have feelings for Edward” I asked I hope that was not true, I hope it was just my useless thinking and not true, please say something, Harper, and assure me that there's nothing at all.“Let me explain George” She repeated I hit the steering wheel so hard, causing the car to honk

(Alice’s Pov)As I entered the room, the overpowering odor of alcohol assaulted my senses, indicating that Edward had drowned his frustrations in liquor.Advancing further into the room, my gaze fell upon Edward sprawled on the bed, accompanied by two unclothed women beside him.While I had been tirelessly working to resolve his issues, here he was reveling in the company of other women, hosting parties. The question lingered in my mind: where did he even find the resources to throw such extravagant gatherings?Heading to the kitchen, I poured myself a glass of water, mustering the courage to confront Edward. Returning to the room, I hurled the water at him, breaking the glass as it shattered on the floor."What the hell!" he exclaimed, his gaze locking onto me."Are you sober now?" I demanded, discarding the glass with a resonating crash.The women looked at me in shock, their expressions betraying a mix of fear and disbelief. Perhaps I was on the brink of insanity dealing with this

(Harper’s Pov)I stared at Alice as she stood there, a little luggage bag in her hand, confused, I leaned on the door.“Mind explaining what's going on,” I asked trying to understand what she was doing here.“I need a place to stay for a while,” she said.I arched a brow at her statement, was she real, after everything she had the guts to stand in front of me saying all this.“What happened to your dorm room, did you cause trouble again” I questioned waiting for her to respond.Alice laughed crazily, her hand grabbing her suitcase, Has she finally gone crazy, why should I even be concerned about her, she was practically the cause of her problem.“Of course, it is always Alice causing trouble, my perfect too-good sister is always innocent” she glared at me.“Are you here to argue or get on nerves?” I askedShe rolled her eyes, digging her fingers into her already messed-up hair before speaking. “Are you going to let me in or not”“Do you have any right to act up right now, or give opti

(Harper’s pov)It has been two fucking days of hell, from my work and home, Alice was getting on my nerves and I couldn't take it anymore.She creates messes around the house and acts nonchalant and uses her pregnancy as an excuse, like why do I give a fuck. I didn't get her pregnant so why should I be suffering from a mistake she dragged herself into not to mention Edward?I groan, I get annoyed just thinking about him, he has turned the whole office upside down and I get the side-eyed looks from everyone because they all still think am engaged with him.Since Edward goes around lying about me begging him to take me back after he called off our engagement, the nerve of that good-for-nothing guy.He was always making mistakes and and the end of the day we the junior staff always get scolded for his errors.I have been up and down cleaning his mistake to avoid more eyes and insults from the other staff and all he does is yell and take a one-hour break.“Here are the documents,” I said

(Edward’s pov)At that moment, a surge of anger swept over me, fueled by the embarrassment of feeling foolish. The door flung open abruptly, hands yanking me away from her.My eyes widened in the realization of my actions. What had I done? I stared at my hands, then walked over to where Harper sat on the floor.She winced, her hand gently pressing against her neck as she coughed, trying to alleviate the pain. Ava knelt beside her, patting her back in a gesture of solace.“Harper... I...” I attempted to speak, but before I could utter a word, I was interrupted.“Don't come near me!” Harper's yell reverberated in the room, drawing the attention of the gathered crowd.As murmurs and curious stares shifted from me to Harper, Mr. Sterling entered the scene, his gaze flicking between the two of us.“Mr. Pierce, care to explain what's happening here? Have you resorted to physical harm against a colleague?” Mr. Sterling's inquiry hung heavily in the air, all eyes fixed on me awaiting a respon

THE NEW DEAL~EDWARD’S POV~I watched Chanel carefully. She was all glossy lips, high-end perfume, and a smile that could make a man forget himself. But I wasn’t about to forget anything. Not now. Not with Gideon’s threat still ringing in my ears. ‘If he wants to play games… he’s not very good at them.’I clenched my jaw, my fingers twitching at my sides. Fine. Let’s play. Chanel tilted her head at me, her dark eyes curious, maybe even a little dangerous. “Your sister isn’t exactly subtle,” she said, running a manicured finger along the frame of a painting by the hallway. “I can see why you two don’t get along.” I smirked, stepping closer. “Jessica doesn’t know how to mind her own business.” “Hmm,” Chanel hummed, trailing her gaze back to me. “And what about you, Edward? Do you mind your own business?” “Never,” I said, matching her stare. “Especially when there’s something I want.” She gave a low, amused chuckle. “And what is it you want?” I didn’t answer right away.

THE HOT GUEST ~EDWARD’S POV~I strolled toward my mother’s kitchen, heading straight for the fridge. Grabbing the handle, I swung it open and pulled out a jug of orange juice. Reaching for the nearest glass, I poured myself a drink and took a slow sip. That’s when I noticed her. Sitting in my mom’s living room like she owned the place. I arched a brow. Who the hell was she? Placing the glass quietly in the sink, I made my way out of the kitchen and toward the living room. No one told me we had company. And especially not a stranger. “And who are you?” I asked, my eyes sweeping over her as I took in every detail. She smelled expensive. Looked expensive. Legs that belonged on a runway, hair that shimmered like it belonged on a magazine cover. She was hot. Very hot. “Oh, hello,” she greeted me, her voice smooth, accompanied by a slow, practiced smile. “You must be Jessica’s older brother. She talks a lot about you.” “I hope it’s the good stuff,” I replied with a lazy smi

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
