POV: Harper I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart as I looked into Ethan's pleading eyes. The memories of our past flooded back, a past filled with love and pain. I had never intended to see him again, at least not yet. But as I looked at him, I saw a reflection of my own longing."This is not how I planned my day," I finally said, my voice shaking as I told him Let's talk. As I led him into the house, leaving Liam and Clara behind, they decided to go out together and give us our privacy. I wonder who told Liam that he could meddle in my relationship. I guess this is what I get for setting him up with Clara. It must be his way of paying me back for fixing him up in a relationship that he never wanted. I should have known when he agreed to do it that he would try to get back at me. The worst part of it is that I can’t even complain about it because I did the same thing to him and he never complained.As I shut the door, I wondered if I was sealing my fate or simply r
POV: Harper Ethan’s visit was unexpected, but I was glad I let him into the house. When I opened that door and saw him there, a weight I didn’t realize I was carrying lifted just enough to let me breathe. Five months apart had felt like an eternity. Every second without him was a slow burn that turned into a bright flame the moment he stepped into my world again. I didn’t just miss my husband I missed his touch, his warmth, his entire presence. It felt so good to feel his touch after five months. I knew I was missing my husband, but I had no idea how much my body yearned for his touch until he put his hands around my waist and kissed my lips. It was such an emotional moment as we reconnected, expressing our deepest desires through passion.When he wrapped his hands around my waist and pressed his lips to mine, I felt an electric charge run through me. It was like a dam had broken open, and everything I had been holding back, the love, the despair, the longing, came rushing forth. T
POV: Harper “Yes, Liam told me that! I know she is crazy, and that is exactly why I need you with me! We can’t keep playing this game of chase with Serena. I refused to keep hiding and dodging one person for the rest of my life. I refuse to spend another day not knowing if tomorrow you’ll be taken away from me or if I’ll lose you in some way.” His voice rose, emotion spilling over as his frustration became palpable.“What do you mean, Ethan, what are you saying?” I asked him. Tears stained my cheeks as my heart ached. I wanted so badly to run into his arms, to feel safe. But I could still see the world outside crashing down around us. I could feel the emotions in his voice and I know in my heart that there is more to this that he is not telling me. If he knows that he is not ready to open up to me, then why the hell is he here?“I can’t go back there. I won’t risk it,” I said firmly, shaking my head, though it felt like my heart was shattering with each rejection. If only he knows
POV: Harper“This is Ethan’s house?”I couldn’t wrap my head around it. What the hell was going on here? Since when have you and my ex-husband become besties to the point that you call him often and even accept favors from him? My eyes burned into Liam’s, my disbelief and anger showing on my face and my attitude. If eyes could kill, he’d be so dead already. He sat down next to me, his face contorted into a deep frown as he searched for the right words to explain the situation. Well, he doesn’t need to think hard about it. I could see it in his eyes that his is up to no good. I won’t sit here and hear him lie to my face, I don’t need that right now.“Save it, Liam. I don’t want to hear more lies,” I snapped, standing up to walk away. I couldn’t believe he had been lying to me. I thought we promised to be open with each other, but here I was feeling betrayed. Why was he still lying to me? What was all this about?Despite my attempts to escape, he followed me outside to the swing that s
POV: Harper “You can give up and run into hiding like a scared kitten, but that would never be me, Ethan. I’m not hiding, and I’m certainly not giving up.” I told him sternly, using a tone of mockery. My words hung in the air, sharp and biting. It hurt him to see me so hurt and very disappointed in him. I sobbed as he walked out on me again, not even bothering to beg for my understanding. He just left without looking back. If I could take back those words and just hug him, I would.It’s obvious that he’s feeling this way out of frustration. He never asked to be in this situation and it hurts that he is feeling this way because of a girl he treats as a sister. In the days that followed, he made sure that our didn’t cross paths. He practically avoided me, refusing to come back to see me. He ensured I had everything I needed, the house was reinforced with security and secret hideouts where I could vanish if things went south. But that was not my main concern, if anything it’s not what
POV: Harper Liam seems to be getting closer to Clara with every passing day. I love how the lust and silly advances from him stopped completely, as if they never even happened. He continues chatting with Clara, and it’s as if I never existed in the picture. Surprisingly, he supports Ethan and me, helping us rebuild our relationship. I can’t deny that I appreciate the support, even if it stings a little to witness their bond grow.With Ethan by my side, navigating this journey of pregnancy becomes easier. We spend time together, acting as though we’re living our normal lives. The only difference is that he doesn’t go into the office every morning and return home in the evening. Instead, he works from home, just like Liam. It was so easy for him to adjust to this life, he doesn’t even need to go to the company if he doesn’t want to.I enjoy his company a lot. Watching my baby grow within me is surreal, my bump is becoming more pronounced as my due date approaches. Ethan accompanies me
POV: EvelynThe scent of lilies and cinnamon hung heavy in the air as I went about my duties in the house, smiling to myself. I would have opted for calming fragrances like lavender, vanilla, or rose to enhance my mood, but I chose lilies and cinnamon because they are his favorites. Ethan just loves them, and he wouldn’t want it any other way.It’s a special night, and I intend to make it magical and memorable for Ethan and me. It's our anniversary, and I have the most amazing gift for him tonight. I kept smiling like a fool as I scattered rose petals on the bed, dinner table, and the bathtub. These are all the places I want to be fucked tonight.I smiled at that thought; I can never get enough of him. I can’t stop myself from loving and desiring him every fucking day. I create a petal-lined path leading to the dining area, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. I made all his favorite meals, all for him. For starters, I made a classic dish with prawns in a tangy Marie Rose sauce served o
POV: Harper.All my hard work…All my effort in preparation for our anniversary meant nothing the moment he walked away and didn't look back. I sat up all night, waiting for him, sobbing sadly and wondering what I could have done to deserve such treatment.Everything was perfect; our marriage is perfect. At least, that's what I thought until last night. Last night he acted so differently just because of a stupid necklace, and he left home with so much anger in his heart. This has never happened in our three years of marriage.For three days, Ethan didn’t come home, claiming that he had too much work to do and he had to stay in his private suite at the company. I don’t know what I did wrong. I want to speak with him; I want to know where I went wrong. I believe we can talk it out; we can settle this issue if we just sit down and talk it out like two adults in love.But it looked like Ethan was ghosting me. He hardly takes my calls, and even when he does pick up my calls, he is always t

POV: Harper We have stayed in this underground secret hideout for three months now, and I thought we would never leave again The dark walls are a stark reminder of everything I’m trying to escape, but at least I’m safe here. Safe from Serena and her endless threats. Safe from everyone who thinks I’m dumb for leaving my marriage with the most eligible bachelor in town, Ethan.If only they know what I had to go through as his wife, if only they know that I’m currently fighting to stay alive and protect my unborn child from a lunatic that is obsessed with my husband. If anything, I should be commended for staying alive and safe this long. I’m not sure how long I can keep this up, but I sure know that I’m doing a great job so far. I watch as Liam spends more time chatting with his newfound love, Clara, and I feel a pang of jealousy twinge in my heart. But I remind myself, it was my idea that he dated her. I made this happen , I found him this girl and literally forced him to speak with
POV: Harper “Just be yourself , Liam, I’m sure your are going to be okay,” I told him with a warm smile. As he looked at me, his expression shifted from apprehension to something that looked a little more like determination. “I suppose I’ll give it a shot,” je mumbled, taking a deep breath as he opened Clara’s chat window. I sat behind him at first, but the moment they started typing, I leaned forward, unable to contain my enthusiasm. Clara’s typing indicator flickered to life, and I was struck by how her energy radiated even through text. He began reading her messages, and for a brief instant, I saw a smile glimmer at the corners of his mouth.“Hey Liam, it’s so great to finally connect! Hailey has told me so much about you.” She said. I watched him respond to her with a newfound excitement, his demeanour shifting as he connected with her. “You used a fake name and then gave her my real name?Are you nuts, Harper?” he asks me when she called me Hailey and not Harper. As they excha
POV: Harper “When is Liam coming back, Harps, when am I going to meet him?” Clara asked me after two weeks of chatting and talking about Liam. “No offence, Hailey, I really love chatting with you, but I think it’s time I meet Liam and get talking with him. I have heard so much about him and I feel I already know him. When can I meet him, can you help me arrange that?” she asked me, looking excited. I could tell that she is eager to meet him, I just don’t know how long I can keep lying to her when Liam has refused to talk about her anymore. “Ill get him to speak with you as soon as he gets back, I promise.” I told her. She nodded in understanding, the excitement in her voice dying away. To think that Liam is seated right across from me as I chatted with her. And yet he didn’t make any move to meet or speak with her. I’ve been doing this fir two weeks, I always initiate a chat with her when he’s around so he can hear how happy and excited she is to meet him. But he still hasn’t sho
