Damon’s POV

I was already at the hospital together with Jared. However, I deliberately chose to stay outside and out of sight of Addison and her friends. I'd rather have Jared meet Addison so that I can find out how she's doing before the surgery. I guess Addison didn't expect me to be here either, so I knew better than to show my face in front of her. However, I still prayed for her that the surgery would go smoothly and that she would return to good health.

I let out a long breath. There was a feeling of sadness when I remembered that Addison and I no longer had any relationship. She did not welcome my sincere intention to fix everything, and I didn't hate her at all. Instead, I hated myself for hurting Addison so much that she didn't want to turn to me anymore.

An hour later, Jared and the others came out of the ward. I could see Addison sitting in a wheelchair with Shofia pushing her toward the operating room, followed by her father and Hayden Clarke. Jared, however, did not follo

    Damon's POVI quickly got up from the chair I was sitting in. Jared seemed to move backward when he saw me stand up."Are you going to see Miss Hills, sir?" he asked. I think he guessed where I was going and didn't need to ask. But that was Jared, and I was used to it."Yes." I quickly left the study. Behind me, Jared followed me out onto the porch. I wasn't taking Jared with me this time.Before I got into the car, I turned to Jared, who was still behind me. "Go to the hospital, and keep me posted on Addison's progress.""Yes, sir. I'll do it."I got into the car as soon as I heard Jared's reply. I couldn't wait to meet Cora and confront her with all the lies she had told me.It took less than thirty minutes for me to arrive at the place where we'd arranged to meet. Cora always asks to meet at a fancy cafe in the city center. She liked the cafe's luxurious, elegant feel and a more private VIP room. I didn't think about that at all.I stepped inside after handing the car keys to the v

    Cora’s POVI just got out of the taxi that was taking me home. Today was a terrible day for me. I thought our meeting would go on as usual with passion, and I would be able to spoil him. In fact, something I didn't expect happened very quickly. Damon discovered something I had been hiding from him for a long time. It surprised me a lot. And she was angry with me.I'm feeling messed up right now, and I need to do something to get my relationship with Damon back on track. Yes! I had to find a way to make Damon kind to me again. I have to earn his trust again.I pushed open the door of the house with a very chaotic feeling. I intended to go straight up to my room, but I met Mom in the front room, who seemed to be waiting for me to come home."Cora, where did you come from? I thought you went with Damon. Why did you take a taxi home?" Mom stood up as soon as she saw me enter the house.I stopped my steps and looked at Mom with a sharp look. This was not a good time to talk. "Damon didn't

    Cora’s POVThis morning, I was all dressed up and very pretty. Of course, I was wearing the most beautiful and expensive clothes Damon had given me. After crying all night thinking about what I should do to get Damon's attention back to me, this morning, after waking up I came up with an excellent idea to do. And I guess I deserve a second chance to make things right with Damon.I finished polishing my lips with red lipstick. I still remember Damon's words at that time. He said that he really liked it when I wore bright red lipstick."You look very seductive wearing that red lipstick, Cora."Ah, that one remark of Damon's I will never forget. That's why I'm going to try to melt Damon's heart so that he can come back into my arms. I have high hopes for today. I hope today is a good day for me.Lastly, I finish spraying perfume on the clothes I'm wearing, not forgetting the back of my neck and hands. The scent is so refreshing and sweet.

    Cora’s POVI was still at the hospital, waiting for Damon to leave the room. I was actually curious about who the patient was that Damon saw and why Damon didn't go inside the ward and just stood there at the door. Obviously, I was curious about him.It was over fifteen minutes before Damon stood there, and finally, he left the room without going inside. I didn't follow Damon anymore, preferring to see who was in the hospital room.After confirming that Damon had left, I ventured to see who the patient was in the room. When I was standing right at the door, my eyes widened to see who the patient lying on the bed was."So, Addison is really sick." I covered my mouth when I said that. "What's wrong with him?"There were many medical devices around Addison. She could have been seriously ill. I thought all this time she was just pretending.I just kept watching Addison, who was still lying unconscious in the sterile room. Until a nurse came into the ward to check on the patient. I went b

    Cora’s POVI walked quickly out of the hospital with an expletive that I aimed at those two people. How could those two people threaten and insult me at will? Especially that female doctor, how insolent of her to insult and demean me. Who does he think he is? I'm going to complain about his bad attitude to the head of this hospital so that he loses his job. He's going to be sorry for messing with me.And, Hayden... I knew more or less about who he was. Hayden Clarke is someone who is also almost the same as Damon, who has power in the business world. For now, I'll probably give in and let them threaten me, insult me, and destroy me as they please because I realize now that Damon no longer considers me, so there's no way I can face them alone. My relationship with Damon is in such a mess that I don't seem to have anything against them. I feel tiny without Damon. However, I was looking for a way to get Damon back to me.But suddenly, my steps slowed down. I thought about Damon, who chos

    Damon’s POVI was still standing in front of Addison's hospital room, looking and watching her. I couldn't do anything else. I could only pray that Addison woke up quickly from her long sleep. Dr. Sullivan said that if the surgery was successful, it meant Addison would recover. However, Doctor Sullivan also said we should pray for Addison to fight for recovery and regain consciousness."It's been two days, Addison. And you're still in your world. Don't you want to meet your father? Shofia? Mr. Clarke? Me?"I stuffed my hands into my pants pockets and took a long breath."Damon."Suddenly, I turned my head towards the voice calling me. It was Addison's father standing not far from me. I thought I was safe, coming here so as not to be seen by anyone. Shofia, Hayden, and Mr. Rundolph, I was caught too.I think Mr. Rudolph's health has started to improve, and now he can walk around alone without the help of a nurse or a wheelchair.

    Damon’s POV"Yeah, I'm glad you revealed everything between you and Addison. You know Addison didn't tell me what happened to you guys."I nodded slowly. "I know she just didn't want to worry you. Especially since you just recovered from a very long coma."Mr. Rundolph seemed to nod along. Then, we fell silent with our thoughts. I had many things on my mind, including Cora. She still bothered me as if she didn't understand the farewell I said to her yesterday. Even though it was clear that I had backed him into a corner with the evidence I obtained about his illness, which turned out to be a pretense to get my attention, somehow, he didn't understand either. He thought I would melt again with all his words and persuasion. No, this time, I won't be so easily fooled again."Damon."I snapped out of my reverie when I heard Mr. Rundolph calling my name. Then I turned to her."You should see Addison up close instead of just standing at the door. I don't think she'll know you're there. I ha

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.

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.

    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

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.
