My decision is made as I stand in front of my bedroom mirror. I take a deep breath and begin applying makeup. I choose a simple yet elegant dress and head to the living room.As I get closer to the door, my heart races. I spot Ava sitting on the couch, engrossed in a book. When she notices me, her face lights up with happiness. Ava’s joy is so huge that she hurries over to me, embracing me in a tight, warm hug. Tears well up in my eyes as we hug.“I’ve missed you,” she says, her words filled with genuine affection.“I’ve missed you too,” I reply, truly feeling the sentiment in my heart.I have to get to work because I have been away for too long.

Chapter Sixty-Three

Then, I lose consciousness. I think it’s while I am unconscious that she shows Josh the video.Ava gasps. "Oh, my goodness.""It’s caused so much trouble, and I don’t know how to fix it."Ava offers a reassuring squeeze on my arm. "We’ll figure this out together, Harper. You’re not alone in this.""I woke up with Josh by my side," I continued. "He looks so hurt and disappointed, and I can see the anger in his eyes. I have never felt so humiliated in my entire life. Jane fills him in on everything, and he can’t believe what he has seen in the video.""Josh is so hurt," I say, my voice heavy with remorse. "He can’t understand why I didn’t tell him about Nolan sooner. He feels betrayed and shattered."He doesn’t even look at me as he orders me to explain everything from the beginning. I do, and he sends me out of his house.As I share this with Ava, her eyes well up with tears. She hugs me tightly and says, "Oh, Harper.""I don’t know where we stand now, Ava. Everything has changed," I cr

Chapter Sixty-Four

"I understand, his other girlfriend always has that model-like body. I may not fit that mold, but I have my beauty with curves that make heads turn. You didn't even bother to get to know me, and you jumped to conclusions,” I said my anger building up.“Hanging out with Nolan and getting kissed doesn't make you any better,” she said with an eyeroll."At least you met me before finding out about Nolan. How did you react to me? You made me feel insignificant like I wasn't good enough for Josh. As for Nolan, I had no idea that was going to happen. I went to see him to warn him to stay away from me because he kept sending me gifts, which I didn't appreciate." I say laying my heart bear.She rolls her eyes and admits, "Sure, I wasn't even jealous when I saw the video. I was more angry with my brother." I detect a hint of emotion in her voice, but I don't dwell on it, eager to hear more."He's my boyfriend, and yes, I loved him, but I knew our relationship wasn't going anywhere," she confesse

Chapter Sixty Five

JoshI can't tear my eyes away from Ava as she leaves the bar. I'm a wreck; my days consist of drowning my sorrows in alcohol, releasing my pent-up anger at the gym, and pretending everything's fine at work. Everywhere I look, I'm haunted by memories of Harper, even at my job where I can't help but check on her. I've been avoiding their office building since I'm in a different one.I quickly pack my belongings and rush out; I have a crucial meeting to attend. My driver is ready to take me for a drive. As soon as I reach the car, Mr. Chris kindly opens the door for me."Good morning, sir," he greets."Good morning, Chris. How are you?"He glances at me with a hint of worry but still answers, "I'm good, sir."I sense that he has something on his mind, but I choose not to allow him to broach the subject."Let's head to the office," I instructed while checking my phone."Okay, sir," he replies and starts the car's engine.As we head towards the office, the city slowly stirs to life around

Chapter Sixty Six

My heart tugs as Ava's words hit hard, leaving me overwhelmed. "Can you please stop all this? It's not helping. I just want my Josh back," I tell her.Ava pauses, sensing the pain in my words. "I understand, but sometimes we need to face the truth," she says gently.Tears well up as I try to make sense of everything. "I don't know what to do. I just want things to be like they were before, with Josh."Ava sighs softly. "I know it's tough."With concern in her eyes, Ava asks, "And how do you intend to achieve that?"Feeling helpless, I reply quietly, "I don't know, Ava. To be honest, I don't know. He's not picking up my calls, and he's not replying to any of my texts."Ava looks at me, her expression filled with worry. "Can I be honest with you?"Wiping away tears, I look at her expectantly. "Yes, please, I need that honesty.""I'm happy you're not crying like before, and your appetite is coming back," Ava observes."Okay, I'm eager to know," I say, anticipating her point.Seeing my ner

Chapter Sixty Seven

My heart pounds in my chest in anticipation of what might befall me when he eventually sees me. The hatred I saw in his eyes the day he found out makes me cringe, and I hope against hope that there will be a change of heart for him. I hold onto Ava's words that he looks miserable and will be willing to let go and forgive me. I open the door, and I'm surprised to see Josh's mother - I wasn't expecting her. I became nervous as hell. She has a look of indifference, like a look of disdain. My heart sinks immediately. I know the last time I saw her, she was a sweet soul who welcomed me with open arms, but this doesn't look good. Nevertheless, I greet her, stuttering, ‘'Good evening, ma.' She looks at me, sizing me up like I'm some commodity. I feel small under her gaze, and I don't know what to do with this situation. I know I've caused both her children pain.I don't expect anything less from the behavior she's giving me right now. “Harper, what do you want? Haven't you done enough?' h

"Ms. Cole, I appreciate you coming in for the interview. You have great potential, and I love seeing young women like you excel in their careers. You're amazing, and your interview was top-notch." I nod my head in gratitude, waiting for what he'll say next, as the accolades are becoming overwhelming and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. But then he drops the bombshell: "However, I'm afraid we won't be offering you the job here."My eyes widen in shock, and my mouth drops open in disbelief. "What?!" I exclaim, my voice barely above a whisper. "But...but I thought I had done so well in the interview," I stammered, my mind racing with confusion.I feel like I've been punched in the gut, and I can't seem to catch my breath. I had been so sure that I was the perfect candidate for the job, and now it seems like it was all for nothing.The interviewer's words echo in my mind, "We won't be offering you the job here."

Chapter Seventy

My heart skips a beat as I take in his features. I notice he has dark bags under his eyes, and I can't help but smile at the fact that I'm not the only one affected by the breakup. I turn my attention back to Nick as we continue eating. Part of me wishes he would come over to me, and part of me wishes he would just leave the cafe. Nick notices my attention is diverted, so he looks in the direction my attention has gone, and then he sees Josh. "Isn't that your boss?" he asks. I roll my eyes. "He's not my boss any more. I no longer work for him," I say loudly, so he can hear me. His eyes snap to my face, and I guard my emotions so he doesn't see that I just want to gain his attention.Josh's gaze lingers on mine for a moment, and I can sense a mix of emotions in his eyes - surprise, curiosity, and longing. But he quickly looks away, and I'm left wondering if I imagined it. "Hey, Josh!" Nick said, waving at him. He turns his attention to us once more and makes his way towards us. Every
