(Gideon pov)I stared at the information in my hands. "Thanks, James," I told him, shutting the door. I was curious, I planned to help her, and this was my way of doing so.I knew she created the just friends boundaries but I will prove to her that she could trust me.I walked towards my living room, taking a seat on the couch as I glanced at each document.Edward Pierce, 28 years old, got promoted to manager last month. He is the only son of his family. Has a sister. "Jessica," I say out her name.Picking up her picture, I stared at him, I could use her to get to Edward, ruin him completely.I picked up my call and called Joshua. "Hello Joshua, please cancel my letting for today" I added"Is there a problem Sir" Joshua added at the other end."No Joshua, just busy, I have a big fish to catch," I said heading to my bedroom to get ready."A big fish??" Joshua askedA smile formed on my lips, as he tried to grasp the situation as I ended the call.According to my research, she works as

(Edward pov)I pulled Alice aside. She was beginning to get on my nerves."Why are you so hell-bent on ruining my life with your sister? We had sex no big deal.""We had sex no big deal, is that how you are putting it" she questioned. "What if everything I did for you, was no big deal"I furrowed my brows, this was getting too much. I paced back and forth trying to understand the situation.I don't need Alice, I have no use for her, she was practically living under her sister's care, which currently she has lost. I don't need a liability right now.Harper is a perfect choice, she has a stable and good income-earning job, and she is resourceful in many ways. With her support, I know I will have the dream life I have always wanted."Baby I know you are confused, but trust me, we don't need Harper" Alice held my hand her eyes pleading."That's where you are wrong Alice, I need Harper, you need your sister more than anything, you are still in college, and you haven't worked in your life b

(Harper's pov)I folded the boxes as I glanced around, hoping I got everything I needed. Edward stood in the kitchen, his eyes darting back to his phone and then back to me.His expression was sour, "did you tell our friends about our wedding being called off because I cheated on you" he asked, his coffee mug in his hand."Why are you asking me, it not like I'm that close to any of your stupid friends, they are just like you in all ways, stupid!" I responded backHis eyes stared coldly at me saying nothing, I continued uploading my things into the empty box I had next to me."You don't have to be mean about it, they supported our dating" he finally saidFeeling annoyed, I turned to face him. "They supported our relationship, the same friends that took you to a strip house and invited Kelly your ex-girlfriend to my birthday or is it the same friends that took you roller skating on our anniversary" I could go on, cause the list was much but seeing his expression i could tell he got my p

(Harper's pov)We lay on the bed, my head placed on Gideon's bared chest, "I thought you were still angry at me" I told him"Why would I be" he answered, placing a kiss on my head, "I just thought you needed time to sort things out"I smiled, If only Edward was half-decent like Gideon, I would have understood his stupid reasons for making stupid choices."So what have you been up to," I askedGideon stopped stroking my hair as he spoke. "Busy with work, got a new project coming up at my work firm""What did you say you do again" I sat upright, now staring at him.He smiled, "I never told you what I do Harper, we never actually made it to that conversation" he replied backI blushed feeling ashamed, I couldn't believe not asking someone I had slept with two times, gone out with, and even kissed what he does for a living.I was so attracted to him, that I forgot he was still a stranger."Am not usually like this" I tried to defend my action. "We just met at an unexpected time, I normall

(Harper's pov)I stared at Ava who just stormed in, my eyes moving from my laptop to her. Ava and being dramatic were like 5&6."You never told me Alice was going to be an intern here," she asked furiouslyI stared at Ava confused, what was she talking about, Alice wasn't ready for an internship till next year."Alice? Internship?" I stood up from my seat and walked out, Ava followed behind.My gaze fixated on Alice, she was truly here, but how, Alice now turned to face me and smiled."Sis" she called out wavingI could hear murmuring in the room as all eyes stared at me, some condemning me for using my connection to get her a spot here.Grabbing Alice by the hand, I pulled her to my office shutting the door behind us."What do you think you are doing" I asked"What else, am here for an internship" Alice replied, walking around my office. "This is nice, I wonder how it feels getting an office like this," she said turning to beam me a smile"Did you sleep with the manager here, cause i

(Gideon's Pov)I listened to her as she explained her plans to me. I was uncomfortable with it, accepting Edward was far from what I expected."Are you sure about that Harper?" I asked, concernShe said nothing, picking up her drink she took a sip, before placing it down. "It's the perfect plan," she said"I know but aren't you uncomfortable being around Edward, you know he is a constant reminder of everything going on in your life" I explained"The more reason, I need this plan to work, they both need to pay, Alice is so obsessed with Edward, I don't know what she sees in him" She spoke feeling annoyedI folded my arms staring at her. "Everyone has preference, maybe she saw something in him she likes""Like what, then being a good nothing" She saidI smiled, I liked seeing her getting angry, it made her cute. "So you plan on lying to him, pretending to want him back then breaking his heart and humiliating him""Am only doing this to hurt Alice, once she sees that Edward is not worth

Time to put on my flirting face."How's the food" I asked herShe stared at me, a smile at the corner of her lips. "I love the environment and the food tastes good" she answered"It will be weird to take you to your place of work to eat, you know "Bien Manger" I added waiting for her responseShe held my hand across the table. I shrugged, this was different, I tried to keep my composure as she spoke."Everything looks sweet, It's like you prepared hard for this date, am grateful" she thanked me, her eyes sincereSomething in me knotted, and I suddenly felt guilty and ashamed but I brushed it off, am not hurting her and I am not promising her anything.I might be deceiving her right now but am doing it for Harper who was the real victim here.Jessica is acting like her brother cheating on Harper

But catching them having sex again was just the height of it.Why does it hurt all over again and again? It shouldn't hurt right after all I felt nothing, absolutely nothing for him.But it hurt, seeing those same people repeating the same thing over again was hurtful. My eyes sting, "why does it hurt" I whispered.I searched through my bag, searching for my phone, I found it, I dialed Gideon's number, and it was ringing, he eventually picked up."Hey, am at a meeting" he stopped talking.
