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
Addison’s POVAfter the meeting with Jared earlier, I felt stranger about Damon's situation. That man said he loved Cora very much and that they would get married soon. And, I thought all this time Damon would be living with Cora, but he wasn't. Damon was living in his apartment and not with Cora like I thought. Jared said that Damon spent more time at the office and often stayed overnight at his office. Of course, it surprised me a lot. Although I didn't care, I was a little curious about Damon. What exactly does Damon want?I'm currently at a cafe. It's not for nothing that I'm here, I'm waiting for someone I knew a long time ago, and I hope that person still remembers me.I'm enjoying my drink as I look around the cafe. From the direction of the cafe entrance, I saw an old man, who I guessed to be my father's age, walking towards me. The man wearing the hat and army jacket actually came to where I was sitting."Addy? Addison Rundolph?" he asked, ensuring he got my name right.I smi
Addison’s POV After the meeting with Uncle Austin, I chose to take a walk on the sidewalk to get some fresh air. I recalled the conversation with Uncle Austin earlier about my father and Helena. I hadn't found the common thread yet. I thought Damon had misunderstood my father because I knew my father very well. He wouldn't do anything bad to anyone, let alone his friend's wife. "What should I do? It seems that relying on Uncle Austin alone is not enough. Uncle Austin obviously doesn't know much about Helena Saunders." I let out a long breath. Maybe I should look for other information that knows more about Helena Saunders. "But, who should I ask for help?" I should just go home and think about it all at home. I think that's enough for today, I hope Uncle Austin can get more information about Helena Saunders so that everything can be clear and I know what really happened to them-Damon's father and mother. I chose to wait for a taxi on the sidewalk to get home. However, suddenly, a
Addison’s POV I had just finished my morning shower and immediately went to the kitchen for breakfast. However, I was surprised to see Damon at the dining table enjoying his breakfast. I thought he wouldn't come back home after the past few days of us avoiding each other. I was disappointed to see him in the house as I thought he would stay in his apartment like Jared said.It would have been awkward sitting at the same table with him. Maybe I'll wait for him until he finishes breakfast, then take turns. So, I opted to get some mineral water first to wet my throat. I walked past the table where Damon was sitting. "Good morning, ma'am." I nodded back at Jared, who was preparing breakfast for Damon. I walked over to the cabinet to grab a clean glass and fill it with water from the dispenser. "Addison, let's have breakfast together." Did I hear Damon ask me to have breakfast with him?I turned to him, and he was looking at me, too. "Sit down and have breakfast." His head moved, and
Addison’s POVDamon took me to the hospital. I was still conscious, though my body was frail, and my vision was still blurry from the headache that kept attacking me. Next to me, Damon sat uneasily, shouting at Jared to drive faster so we could get to the hospital. Earlier, I had asked Jared to go to the hospital I usually went to where Shofia worked. I just wanted to be handled by my friend.I was very surprised by Damon's attitude. Is she really worried about me, or what? I don't understand. But for now, I didn't want to talk about it because I was trying to stay conscious and fight the pain that kept attacking me.Not long after, Jared stopped the car. The man immediately got out of the car and so did Damon. The passenger door next to me opened, and Damon was already there with a nurse carrying a wheelchair. Damon helped me to transfer to a wheelchair and after that, they took me straight to the emergency room.I thought I was going to meet Shofia, but it turns out Damon had alread
Damon’s POVI was speechless at Addison's question about what if she died. I gave her a flat look and replied to her question, "Of course I'll be happy. I'm going to be normal with your situation. Do you think I'll cry for you?"She looked at me expressionlessly. Would she be upset? After all, isn't that what she wants to know how I feel about her? However, I don't see how it will turn out either.While saying that, I felt something slightly tighten in my chest, but I deliberately ignored it and didn't want to think much. "Ah, never mind! Just ignore that remark of yours. It's better now that you should get well soon and leave here. You've been in the hospital too much, and I think you're just lazing around here. Do you think you can pay the hospital bill?"Addison fell silent after hearing my words, which, as usual, were very firm and hurtful. I don't care about that at all. I don't like that she's always like this, pretending to be sick to get my attention. He's done it many times,
Damon’s POV After the hospital, I took Cora home. I would have her examined by the doctor since we were also at the hospital. However, Cora refused and said that all her medicines were at home. She also said that she didn't need a doctor because she had her own personal doctor and didn't want to be examined by just any doctor. I couldn't force her, so I did whatever she wanted. By now, I was already in Cora's room. I placed an empty glass on the nightstand. Cora has just taken her medicine and is currently resting. Cora grabs my fingers and smiles at me. I looked at her. "How are you doing?" "A little better. But it seems like I'll get a headache if I stay in the hospital too long. And I don't know why." I was silent for a moment, trying to digest Cora's words. I knew that Cora had this disease for a long time, but I didn't know much about her illness. I know that she's been treated everywhere and seen pretty good results, it's just that every now and then the disease comes to at
Damon’s POV I just got home after hearing from Jared about Addison being discharged. I wanted him to stay at the hospital to ask about Addison's condition with the female doctor, who said she was Addison's friend. Since when has Addison been friends with that woman? Addison never told me about her friend, or she could have told me, but I forgot. I entered the room and didn't find Addison or her room. Addison was nowhere to be seen. Finally, I went into my study and found Addison sitting casually in my chair writing something I didn't know. I stepped inside and stood in front of my desk, where Addison was sitting casually. I exhaled slightly, seeing her there. "How could you leave the hospital without telling me," I said curtly to her. "Why would I tell you. You're busy with your girlfriend. I just didn't want to bother you with the news of my decision to get out of the hospital. You should be happy I didn't bother you about it, right?" Addison spoke without looking at me at all, w
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
