Alia's pov

“I’m so glad I’m finally back to doing business deals,” I said to Harry on the phone as I drove to my appointment, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel.

“I can hear the excitement in your voice, sunshine.”

“I bet you can” I giggled softly

“ But I don’t know why the owner suddenly decided not to be anonymous. It’s weird to me though.”

“I’m sure it’s nothing, Harry. Mr. Philip said the CEO needed to speak to me one-on-one.” I shrugged lightly even though h

  • After The Vows   Unwanted visitor

    Chapter 103Drew’s POVI stepped out of the elevator and headed straight to my office, loosening my tie slightly.Kirah’s appearance really bothered me. I had a feeling that if I didn’t act now, her obsessiveness might lead to something bad. I’ll have to tell my private investigator to keep an eye on her.I had suspicions of her being behind Alia’s attack, but at the same time, I didn’t think Kirah would go through that length. She had never been a violent person. She might throw words here and there, but she hasn’t been the type to try to hit someone with a car or send a dead rat as a package.So I’ll just have to watch her from afar… to be sure.I got to my office door but paused, my eyes drifting to Alia’s door.Closed.I was about to go in when I heard a voice I knew too well in Alia's office.Harry.My hand tightened on the doorknob, my fingers pressing harder against the metal.My jaw clenched instantly. So he was here.This was the first time he was coming to Alia’s office… and

  • After The Vows   The wrong place at the right time

    Chapter 102Drew’s POVIt took everything in me not to turn back and look at her as she passed me or even acknowledge her presence when our eyes met.If I had known this was the restaurant she was in, I would have gone somewhere else.I wouldn’t say I was avoiding her… no. I just decided to give her some space after everything that happened in Las Vegas.Her words… they broke something in me. I had always thought of Harry as someone who had a great effect on Alia and the kids. I saw how they reacted when he was around them, how she trusted him… but hearing her accept that Harry was a father figure and even go as far as comparing me to him and wishing he was the one who turned out to be the kids’ father…That broke the camel’s back.I’ve had sleepless nights since I got back. Even when I manage to sleep, I see Harry in my dreams… posing as Liam and Luna’s father. It was a nightmare for me.“Drew.”The lady in front of me tapped my hand lightly.I blinked and looked at her. “Yes?”“I’ve

    Chapter 101I stayed still. I wasn’t expecting our eyes to meet. Why was he looking in my direction?Drew looked away and continued talking to the lady in front of him like nothing had happened. He didn't even look surprised to see me.Did he already know I was going to turn?What he thinks shouldn't bother me in any way.I turned to Priscy, who was already watching me closely.“The food is taking time,” I let out.“Aliaaaaaa…” She dragged my name.“Yessssss…” I mimicked her tone picking up my glass.“Something is definitely going on between you both. What just happened now? And why is Drew so cold towards you?”Was it that obvious?“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said quickly.Right on time, the waiter arrived with our tray of food.“Oh thank goodness, I’m starving.”The waiter dropped the food and left.“This looks yummy,” I said, grabbing my spoon immediately. Trying to change the topic.“Alia…” Priscy leaned forward, narrowing her eyes at me. “I know you. This is what

  • After The Vows   Back in Seattle

    Chapter 100 Alia’s POV Two weeks had passed since the Las Vegas trip. Life had gone back to normal… or at least that’s what it looked like on the outside. Work was going on fine. Everything about my company was excelling. Despite my absence in Silvershore, I made sure it didn’t affect the growth of the company. I had also sorted out the kids. I realized the school Liam and Luna were attending in Silvershore had a branch here in Seattle. I contacted the school and arranged a temporary transfer since the break was over and they needed to resume classes. Now they were both attending school here. Once I’m done with everything here, we’ll return to Silvershore and they’ll continue from there. I hated that I was moving them around like this… but my hands were tied. I glanced at my watch as I parked in front of the office building. I was still early. I had thought I’d be late after dropping the kids off at school. I picked up my things and stepped out of the car, shutting the do

  • After The Vows    The Truth She Didn’t Hold Back

    Drew’s POVAll my life, I had never cared about what people think about me or what they say. I’ve never been the type to get shaken by words or feel hurt.But right now… it felt like my heart had been pierced by a sword.Alia’s sword.Her words… telling me I had no right to act like the kids’ father… it shattered something in me.I kept a straight face like I always do, because I’ve never been one to show how I feel… but inside, I was breaking.When will Alia realize how much I truly want to be part of their lives?Liam and Luna are all I think about.Yes… I messed up in the past.But that doesn’t mean I’ll be a bad father to them.I’m trying… I’m really trying to be better but Alia will never see it,She still sees the old version of me.People have done worse and still got forgiven… but me she wasn't ready to give me a chance.I let out a tight breath and sat on the bed forcefully, my hands running through my hair.She said this was her fight before slamming the door on me.But I don

  • After The Vows   Not your fight Drew

    Chapter 98Alia's pov I stepped out of the bathroom, rubbing the towel over my hair.I had rushed in earlier without thinking, and it wasn't until I got inside that I realized I didn’t bring any clothes with me.Now I was stuck in just my bathrobe.I let out a small breath, adjusting it slightly around my body.Normally, I would have just changed in the room without thinking twice… but Drew was here.I glanced toward my luggage. I’ll just pick something and go back inside.“When did this start?” I heard Drew beside me.“Jesus!” I screamed, holding my chest in shock.I turned to see Drew leaning against the wall beside the bathroom door, legs crossed, stretching a phone toward me.“You startled me… and why are you there?”“Didn’t mean to scare you, but you still haven’t answered my question.”“What question?” I continued rubbing my hair, walking toward my luggage.He stepped in front of me. His jaw was tight, like he had been holding something in.I stopped and looked at him. “What, D

The person kept hitting it repeatedly, each knock harder than the last, echoing through the quiet house. Who would be making such noise in the morning?
