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: 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“Really, Ethan? Really?You dare to ask me why I am here in your office after being away for three days?How could you hurt me this way, Ethan? What did I ever do?” I sobbed, turning away from him and running towards the exit, trying desperately to hide my tears. “Harper, come on!Baby, wait, hold on for me, my love,” he called out to me, running after me. I didn’t stop running; I just can’t face him right now. I’m too furious to listen to anything he has to say; I just can’t believe that he would do this to me after being together for so long. “Come on, my love, wake up!” He kept yelling as he caught up with me and pulled me into his arms, holding me close to his chest. For a good few minutes he held me close to his heart, refusing to let go even when I kicked and punched, struggling to break free. “Why, my love. Why did you cheat on me? I thought you loved me, Ethan. You promised never to hurt me. Why did you do it? Why?" I asked him, crying in his arms. I held on to hi
**POV: Harper**I felt a sharp pain in my heart and realized that she was openly flirting with my husband. It felt like something twisted inside of me, and I couldn’t bear it for much longer. For a brief moment, I contemplated turning around, making a hasty retreat from what was meant to be a charming evening for Ethan and me. It’s hard to believe that this is a make-up dinner meant for me and my husband. I mean, how is this a make-up dinner when he is pissing me off?I had made up my mind to walk away and give him a flimsy excuse for my disappearance. But just then, Ethan turned my way and his gaze met mine, his face lighting up with a sincere smile. He stood, brushing off the lingering tension, and slipped away from her side to cross the space between us. He pulled me in for a warm embrace and a passionate kiss, holding me so close to his heart as if I meant the world to him.“You mean the world to me, munchkin. I can’t imagine a world where I don’t have you as my wife. You are my e
**POV: Harper** “You don’t sound too happy about it, Harper. If you’re not comfortable with my presence, I could leave right now. I can stay in a hotel if you don’t want me around. I don’t want to come between you and Ethan; I don’t want to cause any problems,” Serena lets out curtly, reaching for her purse, acting like she could find another place to stay if I didn’t like her. She makes it sound like I am threatened by her presence, and that is so annoying. “Don’t worry about me, Ethan. I will be fine on my own. I can stay in a hotel if my presence bothers your wife,” she told Ethan, sounding sad. He turned to me and pulled me aside, putting his arms around my hips. “Come on, my love. It’s just for a short time until she gets acquainted with this city and finds a place to stay. Please be nice to her, Harper; it means a lot to me,” he whispered to me, pleading softly. I had no choice but to agree. I love Ethan so much, and I would do anything to make him happy, even if it means acco
POV: Harper “Finally, I get to have you all to myself,” he whispered in my ears, kissing my earlobe and biting gently on it."What does he think you're doing?" I ask within me, trying to hide the way his touch makes me shiver with desire. I lay facing the wall, pretending to be asleep, refusing to respond to his Seduction. "You looked so stressed, my love. What is bothering you?" he asks. My heart races as his hands roam over my body, igniting a fire within me that burns only for him. He kisses my neck, leaving trails of wetness in his wake, sending shivers down my spine. I can feel myself becoming more aroused with each passing second, but a part of me still hesitates. I have so many questions I want to ask him, and it’s bothering me so much. “Why does he care so much about Serena and her sister?” It's so crazy to think that he listened to her complain but refused to listen to me. I ignored him completely, trying so hard to curb my desires. He sure knows the right places to touc

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
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. Check out the good reviews from this platform, it’s so amaz
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 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
