POV: LiamHarper lost her when I declared before everyone that I had gotten over her made her feel stupid. I noticed she felt bad as she found an empty seat and sat down like the rest of the ladies. The to ladies looked at us in confusion because they were meant to believe that we are a happy couple trying to leave this city to save our lives. Seeing us arguing and calling each other friends seems a bit off to them. But the didn’t dare speak about it. They kept mute and just stared at us like morons, waiting to get their next instructions. I asked Carl to go over the plans with them a few more times. And when I was sure that they understand their tasks, we let them go out of the office one after the other. The did not leave at once to avoid suspicion or draw unnecessary attention to my affairs.They stepped out of the office one after the other, getting into my car, different cars. I got different drivers to take them to the airport, using my cars to distract her. My drivers drop the
POV: Liam“What the hell is wrong with you, Harper, why are you being so senseless and stubborn, is this the right time to make these demands?What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked her angrily. I can’t believe that she would chose a time like this to be stubborn and inquisitive. “You said Ethan was here, you told me you had to do terrible things just to have me. I want to know all the things you did to make you think you don’t deserve my forgiveness. I know it’s difficult to come clean, but I promise I won’t hate you more than I already do. I mean, I can’t look at you without thinking of all the things you said to me about living me from high school. The memory is forever inscribed in my head, so I suggest you get it over with and just tell me the truth already. I want to know everything before I decide if I’m going to stay here or not. So I suggest you start talking or get me the fuck out of here. I can’t trust you around me when I don’t know you are capable of. I can’t be loc
POV: Harper He left, just like I asked and he didn’t come back for a couple days. I felt so guilty, I can’t even go up because the elevator is locked and only opened with a special code that Liam forgot to drop for me before leaving. I’ve tried picking up the phone to call him, but it wasn’t going through. I was cut off from the outside world and It was driving me insane. Even my phone was useless to me because I didn’t have the code to access the Internet. I felt so miserable, I only had the television and some indoor games to keep me busy. I never thought I would miss the outside world so much. I have always been an indoor person, I have always been an introvert and staying indoors shouldn’t be a problem. But this right here is a huge problem to me, I could feel myself going insane and it’s not even up to one week. It’s just two days and I’m already going insane.I have no idea how long I’m expected to stay in here, but I just couldn’t do it again, not when I’m all alone in this h
POV: Harper “Wait, what if ..”“No buts, Harper, no questions!If you want me here, it means you trust me enough to let me take care of you. And if you trust me enough to protect you, they you should believe that I would never do anything to hurt you. I will do everything I can to protect you. Do you believe that?” He asks me, looking at me. This is hard, I can’t lie to him, he’ll definitely know. “No, Liam. I don’t trust you to protect me, I don’t trust you completely, but...” “I said no buts!” He yelled angrily, walking away. He was going back to the elevator and my heart skipped a beat as I imagined myself living three more days without him or anyone else. I would freaking go crazy. “Don’t go, Liam, please,” II told him, my voice getting weaker as I struggled not to cry. I need you, Liam, and I’m willing to try. I may be scared of your feelings for me, but I’m willing to put it all aside and let you take care of me. If you want to be mad at me, please do, but just stay with me.
POV: Harper We had breakfast together and for the first time in four days I felt like a real person with feelings. He wasn’t back to his usual cheerful self, but he still laughed at my jokes and responded to my questions, trying his best to be nice without crossing the boundaries. We talked about our duplicates, he told me that the first couple that left my office were the unlucky ones. Serena followed them to the airport and they shot the guy on the spot and kidnapped the lady thinking they were us. So if Liam hadn’t come up with this plan, if we had stepped mistakenly stepped out of his office and headed to the airport, Liam would be read by now and I’ll be at Serena’s mercy. I’ll be held hostage by her and my child will be cut out of my belly. “Do you think she knows about the others?” I asked him, scared for their sakes. I know Liam must be paying them so well for them to play this role. But I don’t think there is any amount that would be enough for them to risk their lives for
POV: Harper The next few days were so fun and beautiful. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be here, hidden away from all the chaos and danger, just me and Liam. After I bared my soul, telling him how lost I felt when he left me alone, he made an effort to make up for those dark days when I felt abandoned. It was like a new beginning, and I was grateful for every moment.We played our favourite games, the underground hideout filled with echoes of laughter and playful banter. Liam had this vast collection, games I never even imagined existed. Visual games that transformed the room into a world of colour and excitement. I was completely immersed, taking my mind off everything that was outside those thick walls. It was more than just an escape, it was a new adventure. I didn't realise that this underground hideout could be so much fun until he showed me all the beautiful games he had here.Today, we had chosen to race cars. A little competition never hurt anyone, right? And of cour
POV: Harper It almost looks like I was staring at a mirror. It feels like I was staring at a complete replica of me, but with a different face. It’s as if God created a different version of me and made a slight change in the face to show the difference. I leaned forward, captivated, as I read her words on a post she made just recently,“I believe kindness is the best gift we can give to one another,” she wrote. I felt my heart swell with excitement. Could this girl be the one? A kindred spirit for Liam, the missing piece that would make him whole again, someone who would cherish him and lift him up?I clicked into her gallery, scrolling through pictures that painted a vivid picture of her life. Photos of Clara by the beach, sunlight dancing over her skin, or laughing with friends during a picnic in the park. These snapshots told a tale of warmth, adventure, and a sparkle in her eye that suggested she embraced life with open arms. In each picture, I sensed strength and compassion meld
POV: Harper Could it be that he is a little bit interested but doesn’t want to tell me the truth yet?I felt triumphant, I could actually make him like this idea if I pester him enough. I’m so going to pester him, I’ll fucking breath down his neck until he agrees to do this with me. I knew he hated the idea of me meddling in his life, but it was too late. It’s way to late for him to back down on me because he has no fucking choice in the matter.I had already taken matters into my own hands, and I couldn’t keep it a secret for too long. Clara was too special, a beautiful girl with a kind heart, the kind of person who could easily light up Liam’s world, something he desperately needed. Plus, we shared the same Zodiac sign, which I found to be a perfect for Liam, and their both Zodiac signs accept each other, and that is a plus. “It’s not such a bad thing Liam, it’s something you would love if you just open your heart to it.

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 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
