Addison’s POVSo now Hayden and I have a new status. Yes, we're dating. This made me feel a little better because I didn't want to make it awkward for us to meet. Plus, we were friends for a long time. Hayden has always been good to me and helped me a lot, so there's no harm if I give him a chance to take our relationship to a more definite level. Anyway, I think I feel very confident in Hayden already. He's a nice guy, and like Shofia said, Hayden is the right person for me. Yeah, I hope so.After leaving the cafe, we now took a stroll to enjoy the afternoon atmosphere that seemed very warm. We headed to a city park where many couples and small families were also enjoying their afternoon time. It's pretty nice, we can meet many people here and greet each other. I think we've come to this park before. Yes, I remember coming back from the party we were at that night."Look, there's a photo box over there!" Hayden pointed to a large box in front of us. He turned to me with a smiling fac
Addison’s POVI waited for Hayden, who was waiting in line for my cake order. I just sat here watching as the people slowly moved forward. The queue shrank a little. No wonder the cake outlet was crowded because they made a big promo to attract customers amid emerging competition.As I waited, I noticed the sky looked very clear this afternoon. In the next few hours, it will turn dark. I liked the night sky, where many stars were scattered to accompany the moon.I let out a long breath while folding my hands. The afternoon breeze blew the dry leaves further on the paving blocks. The atmosphere was very cozy and not too cold.I hummed a little as I looked at the park, which seemed crowded with children running happily. They looked so happy as if they didn't have any burdens. I wished I could go back to my childhood. I don't remember my childhood, whether I was happy then or mediocre. All I remembered was my mother's death when I was very young. And perhaps that was the saddest moment t
Damon’sPOVBeloved?Obviously, I was shocked to hear that fact. Addison and that man had been in a relationship as lovers. I should have guessed that it was bound to happen sooner or later, plus Addison's memory was also having problems. Mr Clarke must have said many sweet words to Addison and made her melt. Sneaky guy. I guess I was right in guessing that he used that opportunity to melt Addison's heart.However, still knowing they had a special relationship made me unable to accept it. How dare he look for opportunities in Addison's weakened state. I'm sure Mr. Clarke has taken Addison's heart to easily accept it. And making up bad stories about me to make Addison hate me even more.But, right now, there are many things that I have to explain to Addison because Addison has wholly forgotten me and everything about our marriage. But strangely, Addison didn't forget about the man or his friend. It made me sad to have been forgotten. If only Addison had remembered everything that happen
Damon’s POVJared still didn't answer my question. He was more focused on driving, but I could tell he was sick of hearing me ramble on like this. But who cares?The car is running at a moderate speed, and the streets this afternoon seem very crowded smoothly. We will be heading home now. I don't know where Mr. Clarke took Addison, either back to Addison's or the man's house. I was curious as to what they were going to do.I let out a rough breath. How could I even think about that? After all, it's Addison and her boyfriend's business. Wherever they go or what they want to do is none of my business. However, the problem is that I still can't accept that they are lovers. I didn't. I haven't received that fact yet. I can't let Mr. Clarke get Addison."Do I not deserve Addison at all?" I tried to speak again after Jared ignored my words."Yes. Suppose you look at what you've done to Miss Rundolph over the past two years. I don't think you deserve Miss Rundolph."I paused at Jared's reply
Cora POV I'm still thinking of ways to make Damon melt back into me. I can't just let Damon go, especially now that Damon is also divorced from Addison, so there is no longer a barrier between me and Damon. For some reason, Addison has always been a big problem for me. This afternoon, I decided to take a walk outside. I'm so sick of being at home with my mom, who's always talking about money and other useless things. A few days ago, a jewellery store employee came to the house and demanded payment for the jewellery I bought the other day. It really pissed me off. How could Damon just let go and no longer want to pay for my purchases? Plus, my savings were already running low, so I couldn't pay for the jewellery, and they had to take it back from me.Damn it! That was so embarrassing for me. How could Damon embarrass me by doing that? He should have been kind and willing to pay the bill instead of leaving everything to me. I didn't expect him to be so cruel to me. Damon had also blo
Cora’s POVAfter the incident in the city park that afternoon, I've been thinking about how to make Addison stop getting close to Damon. I intended to warn Addison and ask her to focus on her relationship with Mr. Clarke and leave Damon alone.I just exited the taxi that took me to Addison's residence. I stood on the side of the road, looking at the building in front of me, the house that Addison lived in. I wasn't so sure because I didn't know where Addison lived.But I became very sure after seeing this building in front of me. It was very similar to the house that Damon lived in. Is this the house Damon gave me?After much thought, I finally forced my feet closer to the house. I had intended to meet Addison and give her a warning.I'm already standing on the house's porch and don't know why I'm just staying here. A bell was next to the door, and I had no intention of pressing it yet."Oh, Cora... you must remember what you came here for. If you're a coward, Damon will go back to
Addison’s POVI was a little surprised to find out who came to my house. I knew Cora was Damon Saunders' girlfriend, so why would she come here to see me?I'm still very upset about the incident in the city park when I accidentally met Damon the other day. And I don't understand what happened to Damon, who looked very angry when Hayden said Hayden and I had become lovers.Then, that guy's girlfriend came to see me at my house and said things I didn't understand. He asked me not to get close to Damon anymore. Since when did I get close to Damon? I don't even know him. All I knew was that Damon was cruel for destroying my father's company after learning that I hated him so much.At first, I didn't understand all the things Cora said. She thought of me as if I had a relationship with Damon, so she kept warning me not to go back to Damon.I didn't want to care about that because I didn't want anything to do with Damon anymore. Instead, I intended to give Cora the necklace Damon gave me. I
Addison’s POVI looked at my father with an expectant look. Hoping that he would be willing to tell me everything that happened. Knowing that Damon and I had been married shocked me, so I wanted to know why I had separated from Damon and become like this."You don't want to tell me?" I asked in a very low tone of voice. I didn't know how big the problem was, so it seemed hard for you to tell me.Dad let out a long breath. "All right, Addison. I will tell you everything that happened to you and Damon. You have to prepare your heart and mentality."I smiled slightly in response to my father's words, which finally melted, and he wanted to tell me everything that had happened. Honestly, I felt very nervous. I was afraid that it would be very painful for me to hear. However, I had to know everything that happened to Damon and me, and I probably couldn't wait for my memory to return to normal."Back then, you and Damon loved each other. You got married, but it was unknown to many people bec
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
