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
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,
