Alice POV
My name is Alice Turner and I am an escort. Yesterday was my birthday and I turned twenty-nine. My family passed away when I was a kid, I and my twin brother were raised by our auntie in a small town in the southwest of England.
She did her best to give us everything we needed but when she met her husband things changed.
He became abusive towards me so I left when I was sixteen. My brother stayed because he said he needed to take care of her and make sure she wouldn’t get hurt.
I started working as soon as I left their house. I found a job as a Kitchen Porter in a hotel and they allowed me to live in. Soon after my brother got into some trouble and was arrested. I had to pay bail and I used a lot of the money I had saved. I have been saving his ass since then.
When I turned eighteen I had saved quite a lot of money so I decided to move to London. I thought I would be able to find a job quickly as I did back at home. But I was wrong. I ended up in a safe house where I spent a couple of nights until I was able to rent a bedroom in a shared house. I ended up working as a waitress but I didn’t make a lot of money. That’s when I met Karen. She took me in and helped me. She lived in the same shared house as I did. She was working as an Escort and she was making quite a lot of money. There was rarely any sex involved. She said she only had sex with the guys she was actually into. Then she became someone’s sugar baby and stopped working. When she ended things she had enough money to open her own escorting agency and I started working for her.
I went back to school and I am in my last year of nursing school. I am specialising in being a midwife.
I am her best-paid escort. I only work with high society men and I enjoy it. Usually, it’s only weekends away without sex.
I’ve never had sex with any of my Joe’s. I always refused and they always respected it.
I was getting out of class when my phone started to ring. It was Karen. She might have a job for me.
“Hello Love” - I say when I answer.
How are you today?” - she asks
“I’m great. Just finished class for today, and you?” - I ask
“I’m good”
“I know you didn’t call me to ask how I am, spill it” - I say and she giggles
“Alice, I’ve got the perfect job for you” - she says with a chirpy tone.
“Oh really? Who is he?” - I ask. I know for a fact she won’t tell me who it is until they accept my profile and before I say yes.
“Harry Payne” - she says
“Your friend?” - I ask. I’ve heard a lot about him. He always offered to get her out of this life but she never took it. They used to be good friends and every time something about him would come out on the media she would show me. She always had a crush on him but she never acted on it.
“You want me to escort your teenage dream guy?” - I ask as I cross the street.
“Yeah, please? You will be perfect, he doesn’t want sex and he will take you to Italy” - she says and I smile
“For how long?” - I ask
“Two weeks” - she says and I shake my head
“I can’t, I have my final exams next week” - I say
“Can’t you find a way of having them another time? Alice, this is a lot of money, two hundred” - she says and I gasp. With that money, I could stop working for her and just finish uni and then start my job.
“Fine, I’ll call in sick, but I will need the doctor to pass me a sick leave” - I let out
“You won’t regret it” - she tells me
“Yeah, I’m on my way for my blood tests and to pick up the outfits” - I say
“I’ll be waiting”
I stop a taxi and I give the address to the agency. All the clothes we wear on our jobs we get from there, she has everything we need. From luggage to wigs. Clothes of different styles. She usually has a stylist helping us out choosing the right things for the occasion.
As I walk in I am greeted by the receptionist and I walk straight into the wardrobe area.
Karen is sitting there with the stylist picking up my new wardrobe.
“That won’t work” - she says looking at me.
“Good thing he’s not here now then” - I say as I sit next to her
“Here” - she says passing me the file.
I grab it and I start reading it. That guy is really handsome. Probably the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen, intriguing.
I read our background story. In theory, we have been dating for four months now.
All of his favourite things were described on the file but I already knew most of them as Karen told me everything she knew about him over the years.
“Any questions?” - Karen asks guiding me to the salon part of the wardrobe area.
“Nope” - I reply as I sit and the hairdresser starts making perfect fat curls on my hair.
“Here” - Karen says passing me my passport and spending money.
“Thanks” - I say putting it on my backpack.
After my hair is done with highlights and extensions of all sorts I get up and grab my stuff to leave.
After the luggage’s are ready I take them to the taxi that will be taking me home. Harry will be picking me up from there tomorrow.
I give my address and I sit back relaxing.
As I get home I drop everything on the little cupboard near the door and I greet my Cat Maria. She meows around my legs as I pour her some food and water. Karen always takes Maria to her flat when I’m away.
I sit on the sofa and I turn the tv on with my cup of tea. Tomorrow will be interesting. I look down at the file again and I smile . He is a handsome man. It won’t hurt my eyes.
I put my cup in the kitchen and then I go to bed. I need to try and relax so I can sleep. He is picking me up early in the morning.
Abbey POV “MUM, MUUUUUUUM” I scream from the top of my lungs, and I can hear her running up the stairs with dad following her. “What happened? Are you hurt?” she says, almost breathless, as she opens my bedroom door. Dad stops right behind her with his hand on his chest, trying to catch his breath. “You’re getting old, dad”, I say jokingly, and he gives me a stern look that breaks as soon as I offer him one of my biggest smiles. “What happened?” Dad asks, “Why were you screaming the house down?” he keeps asks as they both take a couple of steps into my room. “I got into Oxford University”, I say, and mum starts to cry immediately as dad walks to me with open arms, and I hug him tightly. “Oh baby, I am so proud of you”, dad says, kissing the top of my head. He is a lot taller than me; I am just a little bit taller than mum, a couple of inches, but that still makes dad tower over me. “Mum?” I let out, and she hug
Harry POV It’s been a couple of months since Alice chose that dick over me. Rita suggested we worked on our marriage because she was willing to let the past be in the past and forget about everything that happened between us if I could work on our marriage because of our children now that Karen and Alice are out of the way. We have been doing couple’s therapy, and I have to say that it is actually helping me heal from the fact that Alice chose Devin over me and is helping me to see that Rita is the best option for me. She wants the same things as me, has the same values, and wants our children to have a happy family. My relationship with my parents changed for the best since they helped Rita hide from Karen, keeping her and my son safe. We are having another boy, we haven’t decided on the name yet, but we are working on it. I want Harrison, but Rita doesn’t want another name starting with H. We have to sort it out. We sold the flat an
Devin POV “Devin, come here please”, Francisca says and I walk towards her from my improvised desk in the front room. She has the design for the house for me to approve, we go through everything and I ask her to change some small things, like the window features, and to keep the balcony exactly the same way it is right now, I have my morning coffee outside every day now and I actually enjoy it. I can understand why Alice used to do it. I have asked her to get someone to make the maze disappear as it is a difficult place for me, I used to love it when I bought it, and the first time I took Alice in there, we shared our first kiss, she got lost and when I found her she hugged me and kissed me, but then, it was in front of the maze that she chose him over me, she decided that he was more important than I was. I walk back to my desk and I hear a lot
Devin POV It’s been three days since the Gala and I am back at the cottage, I am having an architect to come and check everything out to do some remodelling of the house, I need a bigger and more comfortable work space and I definitely need it quieter. The staff in this house have no sense of keeping to themselves and leaving my life out of their business. Maybe after the meeting I’ll just go for a trail ride and try and clear my head. I haven’t been able to focus on work for the life of me. All I keep thinking is Alice, and how she might be back in his arms and I am here moping around. I shake my head and I walk back into the house and into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee when the doorbell rings, slowly I walk to the door sipping my coffee and I open it. The architect is waiting for me with a smile on her face, Francisca, she is Portuguese an
Harry POV As soon as Alice left Devin walks out of the room and I grab his arm tightly. He looks me in the eyes and I don’t recognise my best friend anymore, he looks like a stranger looking at me, he looks more confident and more independent. Not that that is a bad thing, it’s just different from the Devin I am used to. Devin always kept his head down after all his drug addiction, he has a man slut but he kept himself in the dark from everything else. “Leave her alone, she is mine”, I tell Devin and he shoves my hand away from his arm placing both his hands in his pockets again. “She will be the one to decide if she wants me to leave her alone, the day Alice tells me to go, ill go, but if she doesn’t I am sticking around until she tells me to give up”, Devin tells me and anger builds up in me. Devin approaches me and whispers in my ear “I know you let her fall on purpose”, Devin says and I take one step back looking him deep in his eyes, he
Alice POV The police wants to ask me some questions, obviously Harry doesn’t want to leave me alone but the police insists, they need to get our testimonies separately, they want to hear both sides of what happened and they want to see if the stories match, They say they’ve heard Devin already and they have given us a few minutes because of the traumatic side of things for me. Harry says he is not leaving my side and that they can ask us both questions at the same time, I know they are just doing their job but I have to say I like the idea of not being alone with anyone I don’t know right now. The police starts asking me questions as in, how did Karen take me upstairs to the roof terrace. I said she cornered me in the bathroom when I wasn’t expecting her and she said Devin and Harry were fighting up there all because of me. I look at Harry and once more his face is unfazed, as if nothing ever shocked him, he learned to hide his true emotions
