Harry POV
Once we get to the hotel restaurant we are taken to the table where my parents and Harold are sitting.
“Sorry we’re late” - I say shaking my brother’s hand and kissing my sister in law’s face
I see them eyeing Alice from head to toe. I put my arm around her waist. And pull her close to me.
“Mother, father” - I say as I kiss her face and shake my father’s hand.
“You’re late” - mother says
“I know. I’m sorry, I had some work I had to take care of” - I say
“It is extremely disrespectful” - mother says and I can feel Alice shifting her weigh
Harry POVToday is the rehearsal dinner. I don’t get why they do this. Why rehearsal something like a wedding? I don’t even know what to expect and honestly, I am not bothered. I might come up with an important business meeting and not attend. Since Alice got annoyed with me I struggled to attend all the functions for this wedding. I just want this to be over so I can go back to my life and forget about her. I know it will be hard considering I have been spending twenty-four hours with her constantly. She can make me smile even when I don’t want to. Just looking at her makes me want to drop everything and wrap my arms around her. “What time are we going?” - Alice asks bringing me back from my thoughts
Harry POVToday is the wedding day and tomorrow everything will be over. Well be back in London and Alice will exit my life. I will pay the exorbitant amount of money that I have to and that’s it. I will never see her again because we are from different worlds. I shake my head avoiding those thoughts. I can let her leave my life without forgiving me. I like her. I don’t know what kind of spell she put on me but I like her. I like how she talks back at me and she doesn’t take my shit. I like how she looks at me because I know she likes me too. She says she doesn’t but I know she does. We had a serious conversation yesterday and she put me back in my place. Just because I am paying for her services doesn’t make her my slave. She is right. Was the first time she talked back at m
Harry POVAfter the wedding, I came back to London. I have arrived twelve hours ago and I am already swamped with work. Karen has been calling me since the day that Alice left but I haven’t answered the phone. I don’t know what she told Karen and I honestly am scared to know. I can’t avoid this anymore as I have to pay the rest of the money. According to my lawyer that is the only person that knows about Alice besides the people involved told me I wouldn’t have to pay the rest of the money as Alice was in breach of contract. Alice would have to pay a stupid amount of money to Karen instead of me. But I know she left for a good reason. My mother was nasty. Nastier than usual. So I wouldn’t let Alice in debt because of my mother. I have been trying to call Alice but it always goes straight to voicemail.
Alice POVI keep my eyes closed and his hand grabs my waist pulling me closer to him.“Alice, look at me” - he whispers and I open my eyes slowly. His beautiful green eyes are sad. I can see the uncertainty in his eyes. “Can we please talk?” - he asks and I am not able to talk. It’s like I’ve lost all the ability to formulate words. My heart is beating so fast that I think I will have a heart attack. His smell, his breath hitting my face as he speaks is sending me shivers down my spine and my butterflies are awake again flying in my stomach as he tightens the grip on my chin and waist making me give him an answer.“I’m sorry Harry, I can’t” - I say trying to walk away from him but he pulls me closer and his lips meet mine sending jolts of electricity through my body to my
Harry POVIt’s been a few weeks since the last time I saw Alice and she walked away from me. I am not the type of guy to be running around trying to get a girl’s attention. If she doesn’t want me hell. I’ll move aside. I made the payments to Karen including the two million for Alice’s freedom. I hope she’s not working for that excuse of a person anymore. I tried contacting her so I could tell her I didn’t expect anything from her but she changes her phone number. She even changed her address. I have to move on with my life and make sure I never let anyone else in. I can’t keep getting stitches to fix my broken parts. I shake my head trying to move Alice from my thoughts but those beautiful blue eyes keep popping into my mind without warning. Today is the annual Gala that my family organise for charity. The press goes insane about this event and there’s
Alice POVToday I have one event to attend to. I don’t know where I am going. I just know I will be escorting a big-time American actor to a Gala event for charity. This is a fifty thousand contract. I get twenty thousand out of it and I can pay some of my brother’s debts with it. There’s only one problem with this guy. The media paints him as an animal towards the woman. There’s never evidence about what he does but there are some reports of people saying they saw him mistreat his girlfriends. I spoke to Karen about this and she guaranteed to me that is all lies and he would never touch a hair in a woman’s head. She says it is all speculations and people trying to bring him down. I don’t think she would ever put one of her girls in danger and it’s not the first time that she accepts a contract from him. J
Harry POVI follow Alice and I see her walking to that prick. She stands next to him talking and smiling at those people that she doesn’t even know. How can she do this to me? People know who she is. They’ve seen our photos in the newspaper. They think she broke up with me to be with that dickhead. I bet my mother will the happy to see this. I can’t even think straight. Alice standing next to that prick is driving me crazy. I need a drink. And What does she mean by what I’ve done to her? I haven’t done anything. I paid for her to stop working for Karen. I stayed away from her as she asked. How can that be worse? I walk to the bar area as Devin is standing near the bar with a glass of whiskey in his hand. I take it from him and I drink it straight away.I put the glass down on the bar and he looks at me.
Karen POVToday I will end that little stunt Alice pulled. How did she dare to fall for my men? I have a plan and she is getting in the way. Every woman that got close to him I managed to get out of my way. I need Harry to understand I am the only woman for him. I am the only woman that knows him and that will be able to satisfy his every need. I would die for him, and Alice had to be on the way. I thought she would do her job allowing his family to make him fake break up with Alice and then come to me like he did several occasions before.I know he feels the same way. He told me I was the best he’s ever had. We never talked about it again. But I know that deep down he still wants me. I used to spend all my time with Harry and Samuel. Harry’s parents always liked me and they thought I would be a good fit for Har
