Se connecterChapter 109“Am I wrong, Drew?”“Maybe not…” he swallowed hard.“Exactly.” I pointed at him. “You would have been by her side now and not in front of me. Your child would have been a year old and I’m sure you both would have won Seattle’s best couple of the year.”He flinched slightly at my words.“I messed up, Alia… you have every right to hate me. I know I’m not worthy of your forgiveness. You didn’t deserve all I put you through… but please, it was never my intention for our marriage to be that way.”“Let me guess… it was Kirah?” I scoffed. “Please Drew, say something else.”“I brought her into our lives, so it was my fault…” his voice dropped. “But you were a good wife to me. I was the one too stupid to see it. I’m sorry, Alia… please forgive me for bringing another woman to destroy our home.”My eyes filled with tears.For a second… just one second… my heart clenched.I had always wanted to hear those words from Drew. The old me would have accepted it without thinking.But this m
Chapter 108 “Drew, how did you even get this report… I thought I trashed it long ago?”“One of the maids was doing some cleaning in your room,” he replied in a low tone.“Old room,” I corrected him sharply.“Well… she found an envelope at the back of the wardrobe and gave it to me.”Shit.I had been looking for that report. I remember ransacking my room, turning everything upside down, and still not finding it. I just told myself maybe I threw it away.And all this time… it was there. Hidden.Waiting.“Hmmm… Drew, I don’t think this should be a big deal. It’s all in the past… and I don’t owe you an explanation.”I walked past him.But he moved fast, stepping right in front of me, blocking my path.“For you it might not be a big deal,” his voice was tight, strained, “but I’m about to lose my mind right now.”He raised the paper slightly, his hand shaking.“I just found out—” he pointed at my name on the report, his jaw clenching, “you were the one who donated blood when I almost died
Chapter 107Today better be a good day, I whispered to myself as I walked into my office.I looked at the clock. It was already 9am.I can’t wait for 5pm… I have an ice cream date with Liam and Luna today. I’ve missed spending some quality time with the kids.A little smile appeared on my lips as I thought of it.I dropped my bag on the table, my eyes glancing around my office as I swirled my chair. I stopped when I caught a glimpse of Drew’s window. It was closed.He wasn’t in the office again. My chest tightened slightly. The last time I saw him was when he was on a date the other day in the restaurant. He was still giving me the silent treatment and I honestly don’t care. I’m actually happy he now has someone keeping him busy.I hissed, rolling my eyes. None of my business though.My phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. It was Alice.“Hello Alice.”“Hi Alia, I forgot to ask you what time we're seeing Kyle?”“Ummm it will have to be on hold. I called Kyle’s secretary and Kyle is cu
Chapter 106Harry and I agreed not to make things awkward after his confession tonight, and that was such a relief to me. I loved how things were with us, and I wouldn’t want to jeopardize that.I opened the door and got in. Harry had just dropped me off, and right now I needed to sleep. I was feeling tipsy from the wine I drank.Everywhere was quiet. Everyone must have gone to bed.I opened Liam and Luna’s door and checked on them. They were sound asleep, their little bodies curled under the blanket.I proceeded to my room. I yawned as I walked in, rubbing my eyes. I turned on the light—“How did it go?”“Jesus Christ, Alice!” I held my chest. “You scared me!”“Sorry…” she stood up from my bed where she had been sitting, a guilty smile on her face.“Why were you sitting in the dark? I almost thought I saw a ghost.”“Don’t be dramatic, Alia,” she laughed, holding my hands. “Girl, you slayed this dress.” She spun me around.“Thank you…” I removed my heels and tossed them aside as I sat
Chapter 105Alia’s POVI didn’t even know what to say.Never in my wildest dreams did I think Harry had feelings for me.I looked back at him. He was still staring at me… waiting, his eyes steady, searching my face like he was trying to read what I was thinking.And here I was trying to find the right words.I didn’t want to hurt him in any way… but what if Harry wasn’t really sure about his feelings?What if he was mistaking it for something else?“Harry…” I finally spoke, my voice coming out softer than I expected. “Are you sure you’re not mistaking your feelings for something else? I mean… dating a single mother like me will—”“Alia,” he cut in immediately, shaking his head, his expression tightening a little. “Please don’t say that.”“There’s nothing wrong with being a single mother. I’ve seen how much you love your kids… and I would love to have them in my life too. You know how much I care about them.”I paused, my fingers slowly curling into my palm.“I know, Harry… I’ve never
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 63“Alia,” my mum tapped my shoulder gently. “Did you hear what I said?”“Ummm… sorry, what?” I turned to her, blinking in confusion.“You seem to have zoned out. What were you thinking about?” my mum asked“Nothing,” I lied, forcing a small smile.There was no way I was going to tell her I
Chapter 52Alia'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
Chapter 48 I was packing Mum's breakfast to give her at the hospital, then take turns looking after Alice, when I heard a loud bang on the door. 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?
Chapter 47Alia’s POVI 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
