While the men are having barbecue outside, Alic3 decides to head to the kitchen since her stomach won’t stop rumbling for almost half an hour. Thank God that Harry was also outside with them so she would have the evening all to herself without that men constantly breathing down her neck.
As she sat on the high chairs near the a island table, a familiar face enters the kitchen and Alice sucked in deep breath as tear starts to feel her eyes.
She ran towards the figure and hugged the woman who looks so much like her.
“Mom...”
She kissed her mother’s cheek and hugged her as tight as she could. A sense of relief can be felt all over her body as she finally embrace her mother whom she had not seen for the last four years.
“My sweet baby girl, how have you been all these years? Are you healthy? Why do you look so thin? Did you eat well? Was the food in England any good?”
“I’m fine, mama. T
A/N: Hi guys, I promised that I would add more on the last chapter but I decided to just leave it be. So sorry for that but I hope you'll enjoy this chapter more. God bless and happy reading:)...Coming home to the place the she once called home wasn’t easy. Everything from the foyer, tthe stairs where she was dragged down, the living room no different than a freakin art gallery where she was wrongly accused and the bedroom where she receives the best news she had ever gotten but lost in a blink of an eye immediately becomes a hell hole in her eyes.Alice had ignored Harry the entire journey home. After leaving her grandmother’s house and saying goodbye to every one of her family members, Alice quickly switches her happy expression to a sour one. More like a poker face because she literally has no mood to go home with Harry.If it wasn’t for Giselle, she would have never bowed down to Harry’s order. He would have to drag her
Of all the days she thought she would wake up in New York, today felt like shit, and the pounding headache with pain that consumes her whole body made Alice groaned loudly. It was around 7am and she got up early knowing it's Tuesday. Harry is at work and she would have the mansion all to herself so that means enough time to pack up and leave. But of course, tea. Lots and lots of tea. Something she got addicted to when she stayed in England.Going down the grand staircase, Alice can feel her eyes swollen and after seeing the mirror just now, it was red and she just shook her head. As she was about ready to go to the kitchen, her headache sends spasm to her whole body and she has to tighten her grip on the railing.Inhaling deeply, Alice decides to go to the living room and lie on the couch for a while. Seems like her plan has to be rescheduled since she can barely walk straight.How infuriating…Her bad luck seems to escalate when she hears the front door open
Going down the staircase, she stares at the tall mirror beside her with a huge Ming vase situated beside it. The thin strap of the mini blue dress definitely accentuates her small waist and ample breast. Giving just enough cleavage without making her look too slutty.Her neck was adorned with a 3 diamond drop pendant necklace and round diamond studded earrings that complete her simple yet elegant attire. She even wore simple royal blue closed flat shoes that were left on her bed, alongside her dress and jewelry as if she was going somewhere. She actually expected a high heel rather than the simple ballet-looking shoes that somehow made her almost moan with how soft and comfy it was.She decided to put on super light makeup by making sure only her brows, lashes, and lips were painted on tonight. Why she decided to wear what Harry has prepared for her was very much frustrating.It's sweet how you can force someone to eat with you by threatening to destroy their best'
Sitting on her bed, she just stares ahead and bit her lip. Brow deepens in anger at what she had to face while being in the midst of her family. After her family returns home, she quickly distances herself from Harry, running back to her room and lock herself in it. Her dress was changed into a comfy pajama with long sleeves and long pants after a long hot shower which seems to ease the pain in her muscles including her mind. It was a pastel silk pajama set with thin vertical lines she got from 'Victoria Secret' and despite the name, the pajama was ever innocent looking and totally not sexy. Something tells her that wearing a nightgown with no sleeves is dangerous when being around a Walton.WaltonThat very name radiates with the air of money and power. A very dangerous combination of anyone who wields those luxuries wrongly and from what she had heard about Harry's cousin, Clarke, she starts to have chills running down her spine.The whole Wal
Complete...."Alice my love… please just give me a chance to right the wrong I have done to you. Allow me to fix everything and prove to you that I have changed for the better. I am fucking crazy for you, baby. I fucking love you and I can't lose. I am a selfish man, yes but losing you is not an option. Not now, not ever."She hates that she was feeling the same way.Both Harry's gentle hands cup Alice's cheek and she can feel her insides melt. His warmth against hers and hot breath on her ear made her feel safe and at peace. Tis' true that even a little act of love goes a long way. So easy for her to forget everything when the man who had betrayed her in the worst way possible shows her kindness.Her finger itch to touch his so Alice cup both of his hands resting on both of her cheeks while his forehead was laying on top of hers. Closing her eyes, she lets herself embrace the feel of him until her eyes snap open.
Alice could barely sleep, she could barely lie on the bed for a long time seeing her mind was swarm with so many things that made her confused, angry, upset, frustrated, it was a tsunami of negative emotion in her head and she didn't know how to stop it. She couldn't stop thinking about whether to give Harry another chance. A part of her thinks that she was making a mistake, that she was dumb enough to give it a thought and the good part of her was telling her how it would help her go through the healing process. She took a sip of the wine in her hand and looks up to the night sky. Stars sparkling and the moon shining bright on that cold night. It reminds her of the night that changes her life for good. The night that will always stay with her until the day she dies… … 4 years ago That night, Alice decides to send the maid home early, along with their chef as she wants to celebrate the night with Harry alone. She decides t
"Surely you don't believe that this is me, Harry? This is not me! I swear to God this isn't me." Her hand was shaking hard with the picture in it. She was horrified and Alice was disgusted at what was being done to her. "Clearly someone is trying to set me up, Harry. I don't even know this man! Just take a closer look at her, it's not me. You can see them. It's.." She tries to bring the picture closer but she gasped loudly when Harry shoves her away. She almost fell but her hand got a hold on a small round table and her painful cry fills the room. She couldn't stop her crying. "I've seen these pictures more than enough! In fact, I even have a video of it. Do you want to see them? Do you want to see how much potential you have as a porn star? Ah, you could make fortune, baby. You would be rich. Obviously, he isn't your first thirst. All I want to know now is, who is that bastard in the picture?" He screamed at her, making her shiver and crying e
Sunlight from the window brightens Alice’s room and she slowly opens her eyes, rubbing them as she sits up on the bed. She looks around her and a sigh of relief flows from her lips. The dream she just had felt so real. Memories of her losing her child and the end of her marriage still stuck in her head and she can't seem to let that go. It hurts so bad and not even 4 years could erase the trauma. She was about to reach for her water bottle situated on the small dresser beside her when she cried out in shock. Literally right next to her was Harry, sleeping soundly and thankfully with a shirt on. Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that he was not invited inside her room after his perverted antics a few days ago. How the heck did he enter my room? It was locked, isn't it? No wonder she was freezing the whole night. Harry was taking half of her comforter and the other half basically crumple beside her. She was not happy abo
