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** Damn, she’s so good! Her acting skills need to be applauded. I sat upright, pulling the sheets up defensively, my heart racing in confusion and annoyance. You know, when she walked in here, she looked like she had seen a monster, her face pale and eyes wide with distress as she stood in the doorway, hugging herself like a terrified child. He offered to walk her back to her room; he left me horny and wet just to comfort his guest. He had his hand around her shoulders as he led her out of the room, with me staring after them like a fucking moron. She tried to rub it in my face; she gave me that proud look that showed she knew exactly what she was doing. I scoffed and shook my head, cursing the day she walked into my life to destroy everything. When she couldn’t get a reaction out of me, she stopped moving and stood by the doorway, throwing her arms around him. “Ethan!” she cried, her voice urgent and edged with panic. She bucked her hips toward him, feeling his h
**POV: Harper** “What is going on here?” Ethan’s voice cut through the tension, breaking the silence with his angry tone directed at me. I noticed the way he glanced at Emma, his body language protective, almost instinctual. It was as if she was the one under threat, and his focus was solely on her, shielding and protecting his ex-lover right in my presence. “Why are you here?” he demanded, the edge in his voice making Emma flinch as I felt the heat of his gaze on my body. “Is there a problem here? Would you like me to call security?” a nurse passing by asked Ethan, her hard glare fixated on me. His tone and body language made me look like a villain. If a stranger walked in here right now, they would think that I was a crazy person here to cause trouble. “Is there a problem, Mr. Ethan? Is this woman bothering you?” she asked again, giving me a condescending look. “Don’t worry about it, Nurse. We can handle the situation,” Serena responded calmly, acting like a sweet saint. T
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“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 “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 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 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
