Chapter 47

Alia’s POV

I leaned my head against the seat, staring out through the window quietly. The road wasn’t as busy as it was when we headed to the party.

I hadn’t said a word since we left the party. I just watched whatever came into sight as we drove. My mind was far gone.

Uhhh… I’m cold, I thought, wrapping my hands around myself to warm up.

“Here, take it.”

I turned to Harry. He was holding out his jacket.

He must have noticed.

“Oh, thank you.” I took it, slipping it on. I could smell

    Chapter 104Harry’s POVEarlier today, I had gone to Alia’s office to check up on her, but also to tell her I wanted to take her out for dinner.Ever since we got to Seattle, a lot has been happening, and I haven’t had the chance to tell Alia how I feel.Now that things were slowly coming back to normal, it was time to tell her how I truly feel about her.And with Drew’s funny behavior recently, I don’t know what his plans are with Alia and the kids.I didn’t need a psychic to tell me Drew hated me. And honestly, I didn’t mind. The feeling is mutual.After everything he put Alia through, I wanted him far away from her.I can see how working with Drew weighs Alia down, despite her acting tough.If there were a way I could take it off her shoulders, I would. But she has insisted on handling things on her own.And I have to respect that.I parked in front of Alia’s house and checked my watch.8pm.Right on time.I took a deep breath and stayed a few seconds in the car, my hand resting on

    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

    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

    Drew’s POVAll my life, I had never cared about what people think about me or what they say.
