Harper's POV:

The phone was still on speaker when Hardin's assistant kept talking about the press conference and the lawsuit and Connor's face plastered everywhere, but I wasn't listening anymore because my hands were shaking and I pressed them flat against my thighs to make them stop.

"Turn it off," I said.

Hardin looked at me and his thumb hovered over the screen.

"Harper, we need to..."

"I said turn it off."

He ended the call and the silence felt too loud, like the room was holding its breath waiting for me to break down or scream or do something that proved Connor still had power over me.

I wasn't going to give him that.

"Your ex-husband is a fucking idiot," Hardin said and his voice was rough with anger. "Suing you for assault when that bitch staged the whole thing?"

"Let him." The words came out steadier than I expected and I stood up because sitting made me feel small and I was done being small. "Let them draw all the attention they want, that's what people like them live for a

  • She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother    Chapter Forty-Two

    Harper’s POV:"What do you mean?"The words flew out before my brain caught up. My shoulders jerked back against the seat and the leather was cold... too cold, like ice pressing through my shirt.Hardin moved.Not fast. Slow. Deliberate. Each shift of his weight making the limousine creak until he was right there beside me and the heat coming off his body made my skin prickle."Harper, I mean what I mean." His voice dropped lower. "These are the questions I've been meaning to ask you for the past six years."My throat closed up."Harper..." He paused and I watched his chest rise... fall... rise again like he was forcing air into his lungs. "I saw you that night."The world tilted.My hands flew to my face and pressed against my cheeks because suddenly everything was too hot... my skin burning, my blood rushing so loud in my ears I could barely hear him."Oh my days... fuck." The words came out muffled behind my palms.This wasn't... he couldn't have...I'd been so careful. So fucking c

  • She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother    Chapter Forty-One

    Harper's POV:“Come here."He pulled me toward him the moment we got into his limousine... hopped into the back seat and dragged me with him until I was practically on top of him.The wetness pooling between my legs was something I was getting ashamed of.Hardin still having this kind of effect on me wasn't something I believed could happen anymore... not especially now that I was a different woman than who I used to be.I'd thought I wouldn't be able to feel anymore.But here I was... crawling toward him on my hands and knees like I was starving for his touch.I wanted to yank my pants off... the pants I'd spent thousands of dollars on just for today's opening.Wanted to rip them off and climb onto his lap and ride him until I lost my mind.I settled myself on top of him and started grinding... feeling him hard beneath me through both our clothes.The sounds coming from both of us were ruining me."I want you... I want you." Hardin's voice came out rough and desperate.Then he flippe

  • She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother    Chapter Forty

    Harper's POV:I was stunned.At the same time, something like joy rushed through me... unexpected and unwelcome but there it was anyway.I'd been worried when Hardin kept talking about my money in the car... kept saying how degenerated I was, kept hinting at things he shouldn't know.Everything he was trying to say wasn't funny to me.I know I'd told him to get out of my life... told him to forget about our past together, but I didn't want him to know the part of me I kept buried.The part that scared me sometimes.The things I'd done in the past six years.I thought Hardin had caught up to that... thought he'd somehow found out about Montana and what came after.I wouldn't like myself if he did.I sincerely wanted him to still think of me as the girl who loved him so much."Am I crazy for wanting that though?" The thought flew through my head while I stared at the beautiful scenery in front of me.A big fountain with water cascading down carved stone... butterflies everywhere, dozens

  • She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother    Chapter Thirty-Nine

    Hardin’s POV:"Let me out!"Her voice almost made me laugh... the feisty part of her was still there, just more intense now than it used to be.The memory jumped at me without permission... the last time we'd been together like this, the last day I'd had her at my side.I'd locked her in my car that day too... ran out to beat Jerry Robb to a pulp while she screamed at me to stop.I wished that day had never happened.If it hadn't, Harper wouldn't have left me... wouldn't have gone back to Montana, and what happened to her that night... what changed her into this cold version of herself... none of it would have happened."Fine!" She was still talking and her voice was sharp. "Do what pleases you... just know this is the last time you'll be able to get me like this. It was my fault I mistakenly entered your car."She stared at me so intensely I could feel it even with my eyes closed.I didn't respond.My head was still resting against the seat and I kept my eyes shut because if I opened

  • She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother    Chapter Thirty-Eight

    Harper’s POV:I slammed my office door shut and my hands were shaking when I pulled out my phone.Jessica wasn't responding through the earpiece and that image I'd seen earlier kept flashing in my head... her red dress, someone else beside her who looked like Jenny."Couldn't have been." I shook my head while dialing her number.I needed to leave... needed to find out what Hardin was talking about, needed to get to my apartment where I could think without feeling like the walls were closing in.The phone rang. And rang.Ten minutes of calling and Jessica was nowhere."Where the hell is she?" I grabbed my blazer off the chair, which I've removed due my ribs almost cracking earlier, and headed for the door.The party was still going when I stepped back into the event space... music pounding, people laughing, fans taking selfies trying to prove they'd seen Harper Lane in person.I couldn't care less about any of it.My eyes scanned the crowd looking for him... looking for any sign of whe

  • She Stole My Husband I Married His Brother    Chapter Thirty-Seven

    Harper's POV:I was happy.The word kept repeating in my head while I smiled and nodded at people congratulating me... while I shook hands and accepted compliments and pretended my skin wasn't crawling from feeling Hardin's eyes on me.Happy.Proud.This should have been one of the best days of my life.The US Secretary of Commerce was standing in front of me now presenting some award and his mouth was moving but I couldn't hear a single word he was saying because Hardin was somewhere behind me and I could feel his stare like heat on my back."Gosh." I pressed my fingernails into my palm.I wouldn't let him see that he still affected me... wouldn't give him that power.It's in the past and I can get over it... I've been telling myself that for six years and eventually it has to become true."Harper, you have to thank him!" Jessica's voice crackled through the earpiece hidden under my hair.I'd almost forgotten I was wearing it... the tiny device disguised as an ear accessory that let
