Harper's POV:

"Hailey…" Roman's voice cut through the tension the second she pulled out the chair.

He was already standing... already reaching for her arm like he could physically remove her from this situation before it exploded.

I watched his fingers wrap around her wrist and something in my chest twisted because it seemed like Roman knew what was happening between the three of us.

Hardin. Hailey. Me.

The triangle nobody asked for.

"Oh no... she also came to eat, why not allow her?"

The words left my mouth before my brain could catch up and I wanted to slap myself because what the hell was I doing? Why was I giving her permission to sit here and stare daggers at me?

"What?" Roman's eyebrows shot up like I'd just suggested we all jump off the building together.

His hand was still on Hailey's wrist but she wasn't moving... wasn't standing up or sitting down, just frozen there between staying and leaving while everyone at nearby tables pretended not to watch.

I could feel Hardin on my

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

    Hardin’s POV:I couldn't stop staring at her.My eyes were locked on Harper standing up there on that stage... addressing her fans like she'd been doing this her whole life, like public speaking was something that came natural to her."Gosh, she's more beautiful." The thought hit me so hard my chest ached.Six years.Six years since I'd seen her face and somehow she'd gotten even more stunning... her cheekbones sharper, her posture straighter, everything about her screaming confidence I'd never seen before.The Harper I knew used to make herself small... used to hunch her shoulders and look at the ground when people talked to her.This woman was looking straight at the crowd with her chin up and her voice steady."Sometimes I wonder if I'm normal." I mumbled it under my breath. "The way I talk to myself like I've got some inner animal."She was graceful up there... moving her hands when she emphasized points, smiling at the right moments, making eye contact with people in the crowd.I

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

    Harper's POV:"The day is here."The words left my mouth the second my eyes opened and I stared at the ceiling of my bedroom.I hadn't slept.Not really... just laid there all night with my eyes closed while my brain ran through every possible scenario of what could happen today.Should I cancel it? Should I fake an emergency and disappear?But I'd worked too hard to get here... fought too many battles to build Lane Industries from nothing into something people actually cared about."I wouldn't sabotage myself because of..." I couldn't finish the thought.Couldn't let myself think his name.I dragged myself out of bed and my legs felt heavy... like my body knew what was coming and was trying to protect me by refusing to move."Yay!"Jessica burst through my door without knocking and pulled me into a hug so tight I could barely breathe."It's finally here... the day my best friend gets recognized by the entire country is here!""Jess... Jessy..." I tried to push her away but she just s

    Harper's POV:Six Years Later:"Harper, wait... you don't have to walk so fast all the time. You should walk like the sophisticated woman you are now."The voice behind me sounded sing-song and breathless... Jessica running to catch up with designer shopping bags swinging from both arms.I didn't slow down."Gosh, you need to stop with this attitude." She was panting when we reached the Rolls Royce I'd parked in front of the boutique at Highland Park Village."What attitude?" I clicked the unlock button and the car beeped. "I don't have an attitude.""You know you do." She threw the bags in the back seat with more force than necessary. "And were you really about to leave me here? When you're the one who said you were bored and needed to kill time by buying things?"Her snap had that edge to it... the one that meant she was joking but also not joking, and part of me wished she wasn't joking at all.Wished she'd just leave me like everyone else had.I slid into the driver's seat without

    Harper's POV:“Dad?”My eyes strained staring at the man standing on my porch... his clothes were tattered and hanging off his frame, his jaw was clenched so tight I could see the muscles jumping, and his eyes were bloodshot red with pupils so dilated they looked black.His lips were dark... almost black themselves, and I knew that color from the men who used to sit outside the bar where I'd worked washing dishes.Smokers.Heavy smokers who drank even heavier."No." The word came out as a whisper.He wasn't supposed to be here... he'd left Montana years ago, left me alone in this house with nothing, and I'd thought... I'd hoped he was gone for good.I slammed the door in his face.Or tried to.His hand shot out and caught the edge before it could close... shoved it back so hard the wood cracked against the wall."Fuck you!" His teeth were gritted and spit flew from his mouth. "Who do you think you are to lock me out of my house?""This isn't your house anymore." My voice shook but I k

    Harper's POV:"Fine."The word ripped out of my throat and my hand was already on the door handle... already shoving it open before I could think about what I was doing.I threw myself out of his car and my feet hit the pavement hard enough to jar my knees.The door slammed behind me.I stood there on the sidewalk with my chest heaving and watched his taillights get smaller... smaller... until they disappeared around a corner and he was gone.He actually left me. My hands started shaking and I pressed them against my thighs trying to make them stop but they wouldn't... they just kept trembling like my whole body was trying to come apart."You told him fine." I said it out loud to the empty street. "You told him to go."But I didn't think he actually would.I thought he'd circle back immediately... thought I'd hear the engine roaring as he came back for me, thought he'd get out and grab me and tell me he was sorry and I was an idiot for getting out in the first place.But the street st

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

    Hardin’s POV:I had prepared for her.Booked a private dinner just for the two of us because I'd noticed she didn't really enjoy her meal at the cafeteria earlier... not with Hailey sitting there staring daggers across the table.I could see it in the way Harper had pushed her food around on her plate... in the way her shoulders had stayed tense the entire time.She wanted to take things slow.She'd told me that and I was trying... God, I was trying so hard to give her space when all I wanted was to pull her close and never let go.So I'd deleted the lunch invitation text."She might think I'm pressuring her." I'd stared at the message on my phone screen for a full minute before hitting delete.But that decision backfired because I couldn't focus on work after that... couldn't concentrate on anything except the fact that Harper was just down the hall and I wasn't with her.I'd called Roman."Come keep me company." I didn't even wait for him to answer before telling him to get his ass
