Shattered Vows Chapter 6
Gideon pov)I anxiously waited for Mr. Henry to get back to me. 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. Turning to face Joshu

(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

(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

(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

(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

(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

(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.

(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

(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

(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

(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,

(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

(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

(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"
