Addison's POVI was really angry after reading the contents of the greeting card, and without thinking, I threw the damn flowers into the trash."How rude, Cora! After she has destroyed everything, now she wants to touch my father."After confirming that Dad was fine, I walked out of Dad's room to look for something that could make my heart a little better. Maybe I needed a drink to calm my turbulent emotions from Cora's damn message.I walked down the hospital hallway and saw a vending machine not far from my standing. I rushed over there and started inserting coins into the coin slot, after which I selected the cold bottled drink I wanted.After successfully getting the drink I wanted, I looked for a chair to sit on. I was so tired when I was emotional like this. I sat down and unwrapped the cold drink.Just about to take a sip of the cold drink, I already felt nauseous and desperately wanted to vomit. I hurriedly ran to the restroom. I had to vomit the contents of my stomach.I fin
Addison's POVI still don't understand why Cora fell like that. Wasn't she who pushed and gripped my shoulder? Why did Cora suddenly fall to the asphalt? I still don't understand what's going on here. Everything seemed to happen so fast without me realizing it.Then, Damon. Damon's presence surprised me a lot. How did that man know Cora and I were here? Did Cora deliberately tell Damon that she was here with me? Why does everything seem so confusing? This is very strange.The sound of Cora wincing in pain woke me up, who had been looking confused. Damon had already approached Cora, who was sitting on the asphalt, and he briefly looked at me with sharp eyes."Cora, what happened? Are you okay?" asked Damon, looking very worried for the woman.Cora raised her elbow, which seemed to be scuffed from rubbing against the asphalt. "Look, my hand is bruised from her pushing me to the ground. Damon, it hurts ...." Cora's voice was heard whining disgustingly at Damon.I just stared at the two p
Damon’s POVI took Cora to the hospital where Cora's doctor was in charge. Cora said she only wanted to be treated by her doctor and didn't want to be treated by any other doctor, even though I tried to take her to a clinic not far from the scene earlier because I was worried about her condition. However, Cora was adamant that she only wanted to see her doctor. Ultimately, I complied with her request to go to the hospital she frequented.This is where I waited for Cora, who the doctor was treating. I was a little worried about Cora's condition after seeing her fighting with Addison. I'm still wondering why they met there. Did they have an appointment or something?I let out a rough breath. Not knowing what happened to the two women.Finally, it wasn't long before the Doctor finished handling Cora and opened the curtains. I quickly approached Cora, who was still sitting on the gurney after receiving medical treatment. Her arm was wrapped in sterile gauze, and there was a blister after
Damon’s POVI left Cora's house and drove my car towards where the scene was. Arriving there, I didn't find Addison, who had probably left earlier. I finally got back on the road aimlessly because I wasn't going back home or to the office like I told Cora.Yeah, I lied a little bit about that. I don't even know what I'm doing right now. Finally, I arrived at a place. I know this place very well because I often come here. I got out of the car and walked to a small shop on the side of the road to buy something. Just a sandwich and a carton of milk. I thought this was just children's food.When I left the shop, I saw what I bought earlier. This is so strange. Why did I have to buy this? I knew that this was Addison's favorite food because every time we came here, she would always buy it. She said the bread and milk was the best combination she'd ever had.Did I feel bad for Addison?Ah! I don't think so. It's not guilt. I know that Addison deliberately wants to torture herself by not eat
Damon’s POVI missed Addison so much. I don't know how long it's been since we were as close as we used to be. I tried to get closer to Addison and kissed her. I liked the smell of the soap Addison was using. I looked at her peaceful face. Addison is gorgeous, and I love hearing her spoiled voice when we chat. But, lately, I don't seem to listen to her soft voice anymore. She always said something rude to me.I seem to be very drunk at the moment and can't think much. All I want to do is embrace Addison into my arms. I like this moment, where Addison is asleep and not fighting me, rather than Addison always fighting me.However, before I did, Addison had already awakened from her sleep. I could see her startled by my presence. Her eyes looked at me sharply, and she moved slightly away. But I held her hand away from me."What are you here for?" Addison asked me curtly. Her gaze was still fixed on me.I didn't answer her question. Instead, what I did was kiss her forehead. But Addison d
Damon’s POVI returned to my room after Addison's room, which I somehow ended up in. I chose to take a seat on the sofa and started to close my eyes. Addison's seemingly indifferent attitude towards me was still on my mind. However, I quickly shook my head and didn't want to think about that woman. Why would I do that? I thought it was a waste of time.I opened my eyes again and looked at the ceiling of the room. Suddenly, a shadow of the past crept into my mind, and I recalled memories of the past with Mom and Dad.At that time, I was still small, probably around nine years old. Our family life still seemed fine. My parents and I lived happily and were always filled with laughter. I seemed like a fortunate child to be born in the midst of harmonious parents. However, after my ninth birthday, my family situation slowly changed. Mom and Dad fought more and more without me knowing what was causing it, and because of that, it made me very uncomfortable.I remember once venturing into the
Addison’s POVAfter a few days at home, today I visited the hospital to meet Shofia for a routine check-up. I didn't care about Damon after last night when he got drunk and entered my room. We didn't say hello after that, and I purposely avoided him because I was so tired of that man's attitude. I didn't care what she did either.After the checkup, Shofia took her break, and we walked outside for a while to chat. Afterward, we stopped by a favorite cafe near the hospital where Shofia works."How is your relationship with your husband? Are you guys splitting up or keeping the marriage?" Shofia asked curiously.I shrugged my shoulders. I wanted to break up, but Damon was always stalling, even saying he would never let me go. What a pain in the ass that guy was. He could have let me go and married Cora, but Damon didn't want to do that just because he had a grudge against my father."I don't know what he wants, Shof. I wish he would let me go.""Addy." Shofia took my hand and squeezed it
Addison’s POVAfter meeting with Shofia, I returned home because Shofia had to return to work. I wish I hadn't met Damon at home. Maybe I wish that Damon didn't have to come home anymore because he hadn't come home in a long time and spent more time with Cora. I don't know why, but I also don't know how recently she decided to come back. However, after the incident, the night he got drunk, he disappeared and didn't show up again.Arriving home, I was surprised because a car was parked in the yard. Was it Damon who came home?Looks like my wish didn't come true this time. With lethargic steps, I continued to walk back into the house, and at that moment, I bumped into Jared Leigh, Damon's assistant, who happened to be leaving the house. I thought Damon had come home, but I was too weak to face him again. Fortunately, it was only his secretary who came, not Damon."Madam." The man bowed his head slightly.Since I became Damon's wife, Jared has been very respectful of me. Even now, he sti
Damon’s POVAfter the conversation with Mr. Clarke, I immediately ran to Addison's hospital room excitedly. I knew I still had a chance to make things right with Addison, and I wouldn't waste it. I would also prove to everyone, especially Mr. Clarke and Addison's father, that I still deserved to make Addison happy.I also won't waste Mr. Clarke's sacrifice, who, with his kindness, let Addison go for me. I knew it was hard for him to decide for Addison.Arriving in front of Addison's hospital room, I let out a long breath, trying to strengthen my heart. Come on, Damon, you can do it!After that, I opened the door to the room and saw Addison, who happened to be staring at me, too. She was alone and seemed to have been crying. I knew that this was the right time to express my feelings to her, which I had experienced during the time she didn't remember me anymore.I stepped slowly to the center of the room and stopped. Addison was still looking at me without saying anything. She just look
Hayden’s POVI let out a long breath after walking out of Addison's hospital room with a horrible feeling. I stayed in front of the door long to calm myself down. I knew my decision had been well thought out after seeing Addison, who kept calling the man's name while in a trance. I foolishly let Addison go because I knew she couldn't get Damon's image out of her mind. I knew this was the right decision because I couldn't possibly keep a woman who still held the love of another man in her heart. Even though I felt my passion for Addison was more significant than anyone else, including Damon Saunders.When I felt a little better, I was about to leave this place and go home. However, my gaze fell on Damon, sitting in the corner of the hospital hallway as if waiting. I walked over to him. Damon looked at me as I headed towards him, then stood up from his seat.I was standing two steps before Damon with my gaze fixed on him. "I want to talk to you."Damon nodded his head. I walked first, a
Addison POVI was still surprised by what Hayden said. I didn't think he would say that now when I still didn't understand what was going on. Everything seemed very confusing to me. Then, with his silence, it was as if he didn't care about what Damon did to me.I shook my head quickly. "No, Hayden. That can't be happening. We just had a beautiful relationship. You know I'm happy with you..."Hayden retook my hand and squeezed it hard. His eyes looked very cold looking at me. What's with those eyes? Can't he look at me with a loving gaze?"Addison, you better be honest if you've been lying to yourself, and it's making you hurt more. Isn't that right?"I paused to digest Hayden's words, which seemed very painful if they were true. If so, I must have hurt Hayden a lot. I looked at Hayden and shook my head slowly. "I'm okay, Hayden. I feel fine."I was surprised to realize that my voice was stammering. Was I nervous?"I found out who you really love," Hayden spoke again.Suddenly, I raise
Addison’s POVI opened my eyes and smiled when I saw Hayden standing not far from the bed. Then, I felt something grasping my hand. Was it Dad? However, when I looked down to get a better look, it wasn't Dad but Damon. That, of course, surprised me a lot.Hayden just looked at me without wanting to come closer to me, so I knew the man who was holding my fingers was Damon. Shouldn't Hayden be angry?"Why is that man here?" I asked Hayden while pointing at Damon. However, Hayden remained silent and said nothing at all.Suddenly, Damon raised his head and smiled at me. "Addison."I looked at him in astonishment. How could Dad and Hayden let him be here? I looked back at Hayden, and he was still staring at me silently and showing no signs of preventing Damon.Damon moved closer and immediately hugged me. I was surprised by what he did. This really makes me not understand what's going on. Why is Damon here, and now he is hugging me? And Hayden, who is just silent as if he didn't see me, Da
Damon’s POVI really feel so broken at this point. I was so stupid to have done bad things to Addison all this time. I admit that no matter how much good I do, I won't be able to erase the sins I've committed against Addison.After I let her be happy with Mr. Clarke, I thought there wouldn't be any more bad things happening to her. Turns out I was very wrong. The disaster was Cora, who escaped my attention. I should have deterred Cora by what she did to Addison back in the day. I felt stupid for letting her wander around with a grudge in her heart. I would have made her disappear long ago if I had known Cora was after Addison.Jared informed me about the accident that happened to Addison, which made me angry. Plus, I was told that Cora was the culprit. Indeed, after I got an ultimatum from Jared to let Addison go, I didn't just let it go. I asked Jared for absolute conditions to keep monitoring Addison's condition. Jared said he would do it in a limited time. I promised him that if Ad
Hayden POVThe smile that appeared on Addison's face was extraordinary. She is really very beautiful when she smiles, and it makes me love her even more. We chose to sit on a park bench to enjoy the snacks we bought and canceled lunch at the restaurant."You have to finish all this food."I chuckled at her annoyance at the amount of food I had bought."Don't worry, I'll finish it. You know I eat a lot."Addison chuckled at my joke. "Yeah, I know. That's why if I make a cake or food for you, I don't worry because you have to finish it."I laughed out loud again."You know, Addison. Any food you make automatically becomes my favorite food."Addison's face turned red. I'm sure she blushed at my teasing words. Addison blushes easily when anyone compliments her. She really is a very innocent and naive woman.Addison only ate a little of the food we bought. I, on the other hand, couldn't finish it all and intended to take some home to give to Nataly.After enjoying lunch at the city park, w
Addison’s POVHayden looked sharply at Cora, and then Cora made an annoyed face at Hayden as if not accepting what Hayden had said to her.I felt uneasy now, worried that something might happen here because, at this moment Cora had stood up from her seat and stood facing Hayden. Cora's face looked very angry as she prepared to reply to Hayden's words."Don't be so confident, Mr. Clarke. Because a man who is overconfident in his words will eventually bend the knee before me." Again, Cora said that with great confidence.I smiled faintly, realizing that Cora's attitude was more courageous, and I felt very confident in herself rather than the judgment of others.Hayden smiled sarcastically at Cora. "You're the one who shouldn't be confident, Miss Hills. Because someone like you who has nothing can be destroyed very easily."Cora's chest seemed to deflate at Hayden's words, which made her even more annoyed. I can see that the muscles around Cora's face are tense. I'm sure her temper will
Addison’s POV After Hayden's departure, I walked into the room with a happy look. Yes, I am very happy right now. How could I not? I felt loved so much by Hayden. I also felt euphoria in me that seemed to explode, and the butterflies in my stomach flew around very cheerfully. Oh, is this what it feels like to be in love? It felt amazing, and I loved it. I imagined Hayden over and over again, the moment he kissed me so passionately, touching me so gently. Hayden really treated me very well and affectionately. But on the other hand, I wanted to show Damon how much I was loved by a man like Hayden, not a man like him who couldn't appreciate me as a partner. Suddenly, I shook my head quickly. "What do I have to do with him? I'm determined not to remember him anymore." Remembering Damon made my facial expression become grim. It seemed like that guy was having a bad effect on my life. Maybe I should just remember Hayden, because if I remember Hayden my face will definitely turn red and
Addison’w POVI opened my eyes slowly, and I saw Hayden's face looking at me. I blushed. "What are you doing?" I moved behind him as I remembered what happened between him and me last night. I was embarrassed."Hey, why are you turning away from me, Addison?" Hayden grabbed my shoulders and pulled my body back to look at him. Didn't he realize how embarrassing he was making me look?Finally, we faced each other again, Hayden's hand smoothing my messy-looking hair. I still vividly remember what we did last night, and it makes me look like a complete idiot. We were adults, and it was natural for us to get in touch with each other. However, for me, being in front of her was very embarrassing."Are you mad at me about last night?" Hayden asked me cautiously.I shook my head softly. "Why should I be mad if I enjoyed it too."Hayden gave a small chuckle. "Addison."He called out to me. Then I looked at him without asking."I want to get more serious with you. I know, I'll wait until you're
