I can't help but respond sarcastically, "You slapped him? That makes me feel really good. Can you see how I feel when you say you slapped him? I feel good.""I'm sorry, Josh, please. I'm sorry. I haven't been myself since the day I found out Nolan is in town. I have been unable to eat and do anything right."Thinking back, I realize I had noticed she hadn't been herself lately. I had thought it was about her being nervous about her new position.I look at her with a mix of emotions, unable to find the right words to describe how I feel. She is still crying profusely. I wish to reach out to her and stop her tears, but I am too angry. The next thing I say is, "Get out of my house.""Josh, please," she begs, still crying. I repeat, "Get out." I just want her out of my sight so I don't do something I'll regret."Josh, I'm sorry," she continues to plead. "Please believe me when I say Nolan is my past. He is a mistake that I know will haunt me for the rest of my life. Please, Josh.""Save yo

Jane's words cut through the room, filled with frustration and concern. "I should be furious about Harper and Nolan. Josh, I loved him. Can you believe he cheated on me with your girlfriend?"Her tone grows more intense. "And here you are, drowning in sorrow. I'm just trying to grasp why you can't let go of this girl.""It's somewhat of a relief that she confessed, laying bare her deceit and her inability to stay faithful. I never really liked her, and I had no clue she was that unfaithful."Jane presses on. "You had something special with Chloe, and you can rekindle what you had with her."With a knowing look in her eyes, Jane continues. "That kiss she shared with Nolan didn't seem innocent at all. Even if it caught her by surprise, you know Nolan's irresistible charm. She appeared to relish the attention. What more could you expect from her?"I gaze at her in silence as she continues to speak. My sympathy for her grows because the guy she talks about was her boyfriend, the same one s

My decision is made as I stand in front of my bedroom mirror. I take a deep breath and begin applying makeup. I choose a simple yet elegant dress and head to the living room.As I get closer to the door, my heart races. I spot Ava sitting on the couch, engrossed in a book. When she notices me, her face lights up with happiness. Ava’s joy is so huge that she hurries over to me, embracing me in a tight, warm hug.

Then, I lose consciousness. I think it’s while I am unconscious that she shows Josh the video.Ava gasps. "Oh, my goodness.""It’s caused so much trouble, and I don’t know how to fix it."Ava offers a reassuring squeeze on my arm. "We’ll figure this out together, Harper. You’re not alone in this.""I woke up with Josh by my side," I continued. "He looks so hurt and disappointed, and I can see the anger in his eyes. I have never felt so humiliated in my entire life. Jane fills him in on everything, and he can’t believe what he has seen in the video.""Josh is so hurt," I say, my voice heavy with remorse. "He can’t understand why I didn’t tell him about Nolan sooner. He feels betrayed and shattered."He doesn’t even look at me as he orders me to explain everything from the beginning. I do, and he sends me out of his house.As I share this with Ava, her eyes well up with tears. She hugs me tightly and says, "Oh, Harper.""I don’t know where we stand now, Ava. Everything has changed," I cr

"I understand, his other girlfriend always has that model-like body. I may not fit that mold, but I have my beauty with curves that make heads turn. You didn't even bother to get to know me, and you jumped to conclusions,” I said my anger building up.“Hanging out with Nolan and getting kissed doesn't make you any better,” she said with an eyeroll."At least you met me before finding out about Nolan. How did you react to me? You made me feel insignificant like I wasn't good enough for Josh. As for Nolan, I had no idea that was going to happen. I went to see him to warn him to stay away from me because he kept sending me gifts, which I didn't appreciate." I say laying my heart bear.She rolls her eyes and admits, "Sure, I wasn't even jealous when I saw the video. I was more angry with my brother." I detect a hint of emotion in her voice, but I don't dwell on it, eager to hear more."He's my boyfriend, and yes, I loved him, but I knew our relationship wasn't going anywhere," she confesse

Josh’s POVI shut the door behind me, and the sound rang in my ears like a blow. I’m left standing in the hallway, my heart feels heavy with Harper’s words. I can barely breathe, the air thick with the realization that I’ve lost her—truly lost her this time. I lean against the wall, running a hand through my hair, trying to collect my thoughts. How did it get to this point? How did I let everything spiral so far out of control? All I wanted was to protect her, to make things right, but all I’ve done is push her further away. My mind races back to every moment, every decision that led us here. The anger, the jealousy, the lies. All of it is crashing down on me now. And Nolan… Damn it, Nolan. The thought of him with Harper, the betrayal—it makes my blood boil. But I can’t even blame him entirely. I’m as much at fault as he is.I’ve been a fool.

Josh’s POV Greg's face pops into the room, and my blood boils instantly. What the hell does he want now? My anger surges, as I seethe, “Can you fucking leave? I’m having time with my fiancée.”Greg opens his mouth to protest, but one look at the fury in my eyes makes him hesitate. He glances at Harper, then back at me, before finally taking a step back, and retreating into the hallway.I can feel Harper’s eyes on me, questioning, unsure of what to make of the situation. The unease between us deepens, and I can feel that something is about to break, something that might be beyond repair.I turned to Harper, my eyes searching hers, desperate to find some sense of hope.“I feel something strong for you, Harper. Please, let's start all over again, I promise to be the man of your dreams, the man who wakes up every morning just to see your face.”Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I could feel the mucus in my nose threatening to spill over.

I hurried to the doctor as the door opened, my heart racing with hope. “How is she?” I asked, desperate for good news.Amelia and Axel stood close behind me, their expressions tense as they awaited the doctor’s update.The doctor took a deep breath before speaking. “She is stable for now. We’ve run some tests and carried out x-rays on her brain, considering her condition and the memory loss. It seems like she’s beginning to recall bits and pieces. It’s a positive sign, but we need to be cautious. Memory recovery can be unpredictable, and it’s crucial to provide her with a supportive environment.”I nod, taking in the information. “So, there’s hope she might regain more of her memories?”“Yes,” the doctor confirms. “There’s potential for her to remember more as she recovers. The process can be slow, and we’ll monitor her progress closely.”I held my breath, waiting for more information.“The tests show no severe damage,” the doctor continued. “Her brain activity is normal, and there ar

Josh's POV Seeing Harper with Greg ignites a surge of fury in me. It’s like déjà vu of what happened between Harper and Adams. The sight of her arm linked with Greg’s is unbearable.I almost stormed over to them, ready to yank her away from Greg, but Axel grabbed my arm, pulling me back. I had intentionally cut our Atlanta trip short after overhearing Greg's plans to take Harper to a club. Harper, I trust, but I don’t trust Greg at all. He’s involved in shady dealings with women. There are rumors about him drugging them and then using his father’s wealth to cover it up, making it look like the women were at fault. I can’t let Harper become another victim.As I struggle to control my anger, I watch helplessly as Greg, with Harper in his arms, heads for the ground floor. The panic in Axel’s voice only adds to my frustration. I know Harper’s health is the priority right now, but the sight of her with Greg makes it hard to think clearly.Axel’s firm grip on my arm is the only thing keep

After a warm bath, I collapse into bed, finally feeling the exhaustion. The weekend is a welcome break, and I spend it relaxing and doing nothing in particular.Amelia visits and excitedly talks about her relationship with Axel. I'm happy for her; it seems like she’s finally found love.But as Monday approaches, I dread seeing Josh.

I find a space and settle in, pulling out my headphones and plugging them in. As the music starts, it helps calm my racing heart a bit.I wonder if things will be awkward between Josh and me now. His new behavior is confusing, especially when my whole body is still craving his touch.Relaxing back into my seat, I glance at him frequently, but he never turns to look at me. It feels like this is going to be a hell of a ride.I try to focus on the music, letting the rhythm fill the silence between us, but it’s hard to ignore the tension. My eyes keep drifting back to Josh, hoping for any sign that he might look my way.

The clouds outside blur as we ascend, and I try to clear my mind, but it’s no use. This is going to be a long, torturous ride, I think to myself, trying to shake off the ache in my chest.I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I

I open the door and find Mia standing there. I sigh in relief when I see it’s her. “Oh, you made it,” I say, still breathless.“Are you okay?” she asks as I step aside to let her in.“I’m fine, Mai. I just woke up,” I reply.“Girl, you didn’t tell me you just woke up! You look all flustered like someone was giving it to you from behind,” she teases."Oh my God," I groan, collapsing onto the bed, realizing I've got another Amelia in Mai.She gives me a skeptical look. “Harper, don’t tell me you just had a sex dream.”I sit up quickly, eyes wide. “Is it that obvious?” I ask.“Oh my goodness, Harper, don’t tell me my theory is right!” she exclaims.My cheeks burn at Mai’s words, her knowing grin only making it worse. I try to laugh it off, but the sound comes out strangled. How did she guess so easily? I haven’t even processed the dream myself, yet here she is, already connecting the dots.I drop my gaze, fiddling with the edge of my robe. The images from the dream flash behind my eyes v

Harper's POV I nod and say, "Hi Greg. Yes, I know him. He is my..." I trail off, unsure of what to call Josh.I can feel Josh's eyes on me, waiting to hear how I’ll address him. We're not engaged anymore; I need time to process the emotional rollercoaster he’s putting me through. "Yes, he’s my boss," I finally say.I glance at Josh and notice he's visibly angry, his frustration almost palpable.I make my way back to my room, feeling drained after the exhausting five-hour meeting.

It's a relief that I’ve checked out of Josh’s room.In just my panties and bra, I collapse onto the bed. As I settle in, Josh’s presence lingers in my mind, but fatigue overtakes me, and soon I drift off to sleep.I hear a knock on my door and groan loudly.

“Oh, don’t worry, Axel. When we meet in Seattle, I’ll fill you in,” I say, laughing. I know he’s eager to hear what I’m talking about.“Don’t you dare, Josh? Why would you say something like that and then leave me hanging?” he responds in his tone, a mix of playful and frustrated.I laugh loudly, feeling a rare moment of relief. It’s a welcome distraction from everything I’m dealing with regarding Harper.“Okay, okay,” I say between laughs. “I know you can’t wait.”“Spill it, man. What’s the news?” Axel presses.“Trisha’s son isn’t mine,” I say, watching as he falls silent. “Say something, man,” I urge, wondering if he knows something I don’t.“That’s a relief, Josh. I’m happy for you, man,” Axel finally responds.“That’s all you’ve got?” I ask, knowing Axel usually has more to say.He gives a nervous laugh. “What do you want me to say? It’s a relief, isn’t it?”“But there’s something about that child’s appearance,” I continue. “He looks like someone I know but I can’t place it. His e
