POV: HarperI finally have all the proof I need to prove that Serena is the one behind my accident. I can finally prove to Ethan that I'm not crazy like he thinks. finally he will believe that Serena is after my life."Go, Harper!Go to Ethan right now before Serena comes up with one more crazy attempt on your life." Kate told me as I contemplated going to Ethan with my proof now or waiting until she is discharged from the hospital."She's right Harper, you need to get these things to him fast if you want him to save you and your baby. I would have preferred to take all this evidence to the cops myself and have her in cuffs and locks tonight. but I respect your decision to give your husband a chance to prove himself and save you and your child. but I'll suggest you get it to him right now and make him see the urgency of the situation." Liam told me. "Yes Liam, I Will get it to him. it's important that he knows what she did, I would hate if he blames himself for her misfortune.
POV: Serena“Ethan, stop it!Let me go, you are hurting me!” I yelled at him as he held my hand, refusing to let go. He let go of my hand, his face scrunched up in guilt.“Ethan what is wrong with you?” I asked him in shock, my eyes wide in surprise. Three years I have been married to him and he has never treated me this way. All the years we have been married, not once has he hurt me. I can’t believe that this is the same Ethan that would do anything to protect me. Why is he acting this way, what does she have on him that makes him support her in everything.“I’m sorry, my love... I didn’t mean to... I didn’t mean to...”“You could have hurt my wrist, Ethan, what is wrong with you?” I asked him furiously, glaring at him as I grabbed my files from him furiously and held them in my hands, refusing to give them to him again. Ethan took a deep breath, his fingers running through his hair again, obviously confused, torn between Serena and I. “I’m sorry Harper, I didn’t mean to hurt
POV: Ethan “This is it, Ethan! I’m done! I’m fucking done! I want a divorce! It’s either she leaves or I leave, Ethan. I want a divorce!” she told me angrily, uttering the very words I had dreaded all my life. I had always wanted a woman I could love completely, a woman I would spend the rest of my life with. Divorce was never an option; I never wanted to be a divorcee. And yet, here I am, faced with the very word I dreaded so much… Divorce. You know, at first I didn’t believe all she said about Serena. I couldn’t reconcile the little angel I had known as a child with the demon plotting these incidents she recounted to me. It was unbelievable to think she would try to hurt my wife after looking me in the eyes and promising to be the best guest and friend in the world. Well, I didn’t believe her until she left my house, again. Serena came to my office one sunny afternoon with pictures of Harper and a guy—the same guy I'd met at Kate’s house, being intimate with her. She t
POV: Ethan“Where did you get this?” she snapped, fury igniting her eyes, her anger flaring dangerously. At that moment, I could almost see the gears turning in her mind, her thoughts racing to find a way out, to regain the control she had lost. But there was nowhere left to hide. The truth was out and her mask has been taken off.I stood there, the weight of the recording thick in my hands, the implications of her actions weighing deeply in my heart. One little mistake and my wife would have been dead because of this jealous, vindictive bitch. Her expression morphed from smug confidence to something darker, something desperate, as I pressed the play button on the recording device. The sound of her own voice echoed in the room, twisting the knife in my gut with each word. I thought I knew her, I always see her like a little girl with big dreams and overactive imagination. But this lady sitting in front of me, this was no longer the little girl I used to protect. This is not the girl
**POV: Ethan**The shock that crossed her face when I talked about rehab was almost satisfying. Almost. She went livid for a few seconds, then the twitching started. She twitched like a heroin addict, laughing hysterically like a crazy person.“You can’t do that! You won’t do that to me, would you?” she asked, her eyes blazing in anger.“I loved you as a sister, but as it stands now, I don’t want you in my life anymore. I cannot be friends with such a cold-hearted murderer. I cannot bear to even look at you anymore. You disgust me, Serena. You are not to mention my name or come around me anymore.” I told her sternly, looking straight into her eyes, wondering if I was doing the right thing."You really want to send me to a rehabilitation center? Why would you want to do that, Ethan? Why are you sending me away from the life I’m so used to? Is this the love and care that you promised me? Is this what love looks like?" she sobbed, her eyes looking so pitiful."It's for your own good, Ser
POV: HarperI came back to the hospital, feeling disappointed and sad. I felt so ashamed of myself that I couldn't even step down from my car to face my friends, Kate and Liam. I'd convinced them to go around town with me, searching for evidence that Serena is the one behind my accident and the incident at Kate and Liam's house. I sat in the car, staring blankly at the hospital's entrance, feeling the shame press down on me like a physical force. My heart ached, heavy with disappointment in myself. I could still hear the echoes of my own voice, convincing Kate and Liam that Ethan was my knight in shining armor, a man who would do anything to keep me and our unborn child safe. I thought he would defend me, I thought he loves me enough to fight for us, even if it meant losing his friendship with Serena.But here I was, stuck in my car, drowning in tears because I had utterly failed myself and my friends who risked their lives for me. I’d rallied our little team and literally turned us
POV: Hayley“He’s here, Harper. What should I tell him?” Kate asked me, distracting me from my movie. She was discharged two days ago and so far, she is doing well. All thanks to Liam, we have nothing to worry about anymore. He took us to his condo and installed more security cameras in the entire building, employing special guards from a reputable company and placing them at every exit in the building.He owns the property, and he informed the security team about the threat we are facing, telling them to look out for Serena and her tricks. They were informed about the attempt on my life, the accident with Kate, and Liam’s house that was set on fire. “She is a maniac, guys, and she could use anyone to do her dirty job for her. So look out for anything out of place or anyone acting unusual. No one gets access to my two private condo on the last floor, no one gets past you unchecked, no one gets access to my guests without my consent, do you understand?” he warned his chief security of
**POV: Harper**“Awwww!!! I love this! I love it! I love it!” Kate exclaimed excitedly when the manager at the jewelry store brought out a set of jewelry in a box that had just arrived today. It was so beautiful that I requested the same jewelry, loving the diamond on the pendant and bracelet. We picked a few more boxes, trying them out as we stared at our reflections in the mirror. I was just gazing at my reflection when Liam came to stand behind me, whispering in my ear, “It’s beautiful, Harper. You are so beautiful, and it looks perfect on you.” He smiled warmly at me. I let out a nervous cough and stepped away from him, smiling awkwardly. His actions reminded me of the time Ethan took me to a jewelry shop, how he pushed my hair aside and kissed my neck, caressing me while we stood in front of the mirror. “I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable; I just wanted to take it off and try something I picked out especially for you.” He told me, making me smile warmly at him.
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
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
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
