Damon’s POVI had locked Addison in the house for the past two days. After the incident that day, when I found out her whereabouts, I would never let her be alone and run away from this house again. There is no one. She can't go out or use her cell phone, and I prefer to take care of my work here. I do this just to keep an eye on what Addison is doing. That's why I asked Jared to bring all the work home. Meanwhile, I haven't seen Cora in a few days either. Even though that woman whined to me and was eager to see me. I didn't care and gave her an excuse for my mountain of work, and in the end, she understood. It wasn't difficult to calm Cora down, she was a very obedient and easy-going woman. Just persuade her with sweet words. She will easily melt and return to obey. Cora was like she was afraid of losing me, that's why she was very obedient and didn't dare to mess with me. There's an uncomfortable feeling that makes me have to stay at home. I'm just worried that Addison will run aw
Addison’s POVI had been doing everything Damon told me to do, eating my food until it was gone, acting like I was living a carefree life, and making my expression look happy. However, in my heart, I was feeling very depressed about everything that was happening to me. Damon had brought me down mentally.I met Damon a few times, and I would act normal when dealing with him, even though Damon always looked at me with a very vicious look in his eyes. I may look weak, but when faced with him, I would dare to look him in the eye. Damon doesn't like to be argued with. What he says must be done. And what I hate is that he's always threatening me. And I think he's like the most cowardly man I know.The few days I was locked up, I preferred to occupy myself with things that had nothing to do with Damon, let alone involving him in my affairs. My relationship with Damon seemed beyond saving, and I didn't care about that. I was more concerned about my father. At least if I died, my father would
Addison’s POVI've arrived at the cafe near the hospital. This cafe is my and Shofia's favourite place every time we meet. Why do we always meet here, because this cafe is close to the hospital where Shofia works and I also don't want to bother her to meet me somewhere far from here, because I know Shofia is very busy with her work.She usually invites us to meet when her work hours are over, or she takes a break. Sometimes, we met when she was waiting for patients who were making check-up appointments.I had ordered my favourite drink, a chocolate milkshake and also Shofia's favourite drink, which was a Mocca float. I did it to make up for my mistake to her the other day, for leaving her apartment and not hearing from her for a few days.It wasn't long before Shofia emerged from the cafe door, waving at me. I stood up to greet her and hugged her. As we unravelled the hug, she burst into a long rant,"Where have you been? Why didn't you tell me you disappeared for a few days? You know
Addison’s POVAfter the cafe, I looked for a salon nearby. The waitress said that there was a small salon not far from there. I rushed out of the cafe to look for the salon. The salon in question was two blocks away from the cafe, not too far because I walked in a circle, so I got there quickly.Currently, a stylist is applying my makeup. I asked her to polish my face with minimalist but elegant makeup. I guess she can do it. I gave Hayden the location of the salon I visited so he could pick me up right away.In less than thirty minutes, the makeup lady had finished making up my face as I requested."Take a look in the mirror. What do you think?" She asked with a smile.I straightened up and looked at my reflection in the mirror before me. "Wow! This is so pretty. You're so amazing," I complimented him.She smiled. "Thank you. Now you can change over there," she said, pointing to a cubicle with red curtains in the corner of the room.I got up from my seat, grabbed a paper bag and carr
Addison’s POVHayden and I were now on the veranda, away from the crowd of the wedding party, and Hayden didn't seem to mind that I asked him to accompany me there. I felt a little guilty for him having to leave the party, where he hadn't congratulated the bride and groom yet.I just wanted to avoid Damon there and try not to make trouble. Why do we always have to meet in a place where I don't think he and Cora will be? Isn't it annoying that we're always in the same place?We sat next to each other on a hanging swing that happened to be there, with our hands still holding our respective drinks. I looked up at the sky, which looked beautiful tonight with stars. I always liked the night sky, especially with so many stars, because I could make constellations out of my imagination.I looked up, smiling at the sky. "It's so quiet here," I muttered softly."Don't you like the party atmosphere?" Hayden asked as he turned to me.I shook my head. "I don't like crowds and parties like that."
Addison's POVI knew the man in front of me was acting up again, and I felt the pain in my neck from being forced to watch him. The long fingers of Damon's hand seemed to pierce the shaft of my neck, and it was excruciating. This is what I was afraid of that he would attack me and make me feel the pain of his actions.Damon didn't hesitate to abuse me, whether at home or outside. It seemed like he wouldn't care. All he wanted was to torture me again and again. Like right now, he doesn't seem to like seeing me here having fun with Hayden. Even though he came with Cora, isn't he afraid that Cora is looking for him?Damon stares at me with his sharp eyes because I didn't answer his question earlier. "You have a relationship with Hayden?" he asked again."No, I don't. I want to try to live my life. I want to help Hayden, who has been so kind to help me." I knew that Damon knew that Hayden had paid for my father's surgery because he was furious when he found out.Damon's face looked unrece
Addison’s POVDamon smiled sarcastically after hearing my desperate and resigned words. "Do you think I want to get my hands dirty by doing something disgusting like that? If you want to die, then die alone. Don't bother others to do it for you."As he said that, Damon looked at me very sharply. I could feel that he hated me that much.There was the sound of the door behind us opening. Damon moved away from me while I fixed it to ensure I didn't run into anything. Hayden emerged from the door with two drinks for me.Hayden stepped closer to me, and her shocked gaze was fixed on Damon. "Mr. Saunders, why are you here?"Damon didn't answer Hayden's question at all. Damon's gesture seemed uncomfortable in the middle of me and Hayden."It looks like Mr. Saunders got lost. He was looking for Miss Hills and ended up here." I chose to open my voice rather than Hayden suspecting us of anything.I turned to Damon, who was staring angrily at me. Maybe he was annoyed that I had told Hayden such
Addison’s POVWhy did that man come into my room all of a sudden? And what's worse is that I'm wearing inappropriate clothes too. It's not that I want to tease him or anything. It's just that it's been a long time since I've been in a position like this with Damon. And I didn't want him to think I was flirting with him.It's been over a year since we distanced ourselves from each other, no, more like Damon changed his attitude towards me to become colder and crueler. Therefore, I feel very awkward and very embarrassed right now. So I grabbed the blanket to cover my whole body so as not to be too exposed to him and think that I was flirting with him.I saw Damon shift his gaze to another direction after he frowned in surprise. I immediately realized one thing, I think that Damon must be very disgusted to see me like this. Moreover, he also has a gorgeous girlfriend like Cora. Compared to me, Damon would probably prefer to spend his nights with that woman. Of course, I had to be self-co
