Chapter 7 - The Beginning
Alec POV
I get myself ready into my navy blue suit as I am about to meet my lawyers so we can go through the documents about my inheritance. I have to say I read the papers, but I couldn't understand most of them. One thing I understood was the condition implied to get married. But I am not going to consider that until my lawyers explain it to me.
The drive is short, and they are already waiting for me. Just how I like it, I don't like to be kept waiting. I walk into the office, and they follow me, locking the door behind us. They have a copy of the documents, and they don't waste any time explaining the amount of money, the companies and buildings I inherited. I have to say I am impressed about everything the guy has built. I googled him, and I am impressed. He was a dick, of course, he was, but he knew the business, and he was fucking good at it.
"So, there's a clause, a very old school one", my lawyer says, and I raise one eyebrow. I Wass right after all.

Aimee POV “Aimee, who did this?” Alec asks, and his tone sends a chill down my spine. As if he is worried about me, Why would he be? He dumped me years ago without even questioning what was going on. He just believed someone else instead of believing his own girlfriend. I start recording, and I look at my papers, asking the first question. Alec’s eyes go dark, and I can see the anger plastered all over his face. Alec pulls the documents away from me, forcing me to look into his eyes. I have never seen him so angry. “Aimee, tell me what happened,” Alec asks, and his voice makes me shiver. I take a deep breath resting back on my chair, releasing the pressure on my ribs, and I look at him, offering him a small smile. Then I start explaining what my mum did. And that’s when all the air is taken out of lugs when he asks me how much I need. I shake my head, looking at him. I can’t accept his money. I am not that kind of girl
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 9 - The Hospital
Alec POV I can’t believe I asked Aimee to marry me. What was I thinking? I sit on my bed dropping my feet to the floor and I take a deep breath passing my hands through my hair. I close my eyes shaking my head as I remember the look on her face when I asked her to marry me. After she left I instantly called my lawyers asking for a contract and obviously they weren’t happy but right now I don’t give a fuck. I want Aimee safe. I know she fucked me up ten years ago, I know I still hate her but I can’t see her suffer, I can’t see her get hurt like this. That is absolutely insane and I can’t allow that to happen. Her face was pure shock when I asked her to marry me, when I explained what was going on. Her face was different, she actually considered saying yes straight away. I know she did. Does she still love me? I walk to the bathroom and rest my hands on the sink as I look at myself in the mirror. What am I doing? I know I wanted revenge for what she did to me.

Aimee POV I haven’t spoken to Alec since Monday, but I read that his dad is in hospital in the newspaper. He had a heart attack. I don’t know if I should go to the hospital to show my support or if I just should stay out of it and let him come to me. What am I doing? I need to go see him, and he must be desperate. He is very attached to his parents, and he must be going through hell right now. I look at myself in the mirror, pleased with my appearance. The bruises are fading, and they are barely noticeable with makeup on. My lip has healed, and my heart is pounding at the thought of seeing Alec again. After everything that he has put me through, I still can’t forget how much I loved him. He was my first in everything. I have dated after him, but I never got myself to trust someone the same way I trusted him maybe because I was afraid of having my heart shattered again. I take a deep breath and put my high heels

She looks so tired sitting next to dad. He is recovering, and he keeps telling us to go home, but obviously mum doesn’t listen to him, I go home once a day to have a shower and change my clothes, but mum doesn’t leave this hospital. I bring her fresh clothes every day, and she showers in dad’s bathroom in his room. She is insane. She needs rest; otherwise, she will be the one here. “I’m gonna go get a coffee”, I say, and mum nods her head while dad reads the newspaper. “This is ridiculous, and I am not an invalid’, dad says as mum offers him tea through a straw.

I stand up immediately and wrap my arms around his neck. Ash hugs me back, I can’t believe he is here. “What are you doing here?”, I ask in shock as he offers me a smile. Ash is like a brother to me, we met while I worked at the coffee shop to pay for university and we became close, but then he moved away to America. I miss him every day. I can’t believe he is here now. “I missed you, why haven’t you been picking up your phone?”, he asks annoyed and crossing his arms in front of his chest.
