Harry POV After the wedding, I came back to London. I have arrived twelve hours ago and I am already swamped with work. Karen has been calling me since the day that Alice left but I haven’t answered the phone. I don’t know what she told Karen and I honestly am scared to know. I can’t avoid this anymore as I have to pay the rest of the money. According to my lawyer that is the only person that knows about Alice besides the people involved told me I wouldn’t have to pay the rest of the money as Alice was in breach of contract. Alice would have to pay a stupid amount of money to Karen instead of me. But I know she left for a good reason. My mother was nasty. Nastier than usual. So I wouldn’t let Alice in debt because of my mother. I have been trying to call Alice but it always goes straight to voicemail.

Harry POVIt’s been a few weeks since the last time I saw Alice and she walked away from me. I am not the type of guy to be running around trying to get a girl’s attention. If she doesn’t want me hell. I’ll move aside. I made the payments to Karen including the two million for Alice’s freedom. I hope she’s not working for that excuse of a person anymore. I tried contacting her so I could tell her I didn’t expect anything from her but she changes her phone number. She even changed her address. I have to move on with my life and make sure I never let anyone else in. I can’t keep getting stitches to fix my broken parts. I shake my head trying to move Alice from my thoughts but those beautiful blue eyes keep popping into my mind without warning. Today is the annual Gala that my family organise for charity. The press goes insane about this event and there’s

Harry POVI follow Alice and I see her walking to that prick. She stands next to him talking and smiling at those people that she doesn’t even know. How can she do this to me? People know who she is. They’ve seen our photos in the newspaper. They think she broke up with me to be with that dickhead. I bet my mother will the happy to see this. I can’t even think straight. Alice standing next to that prick is driving me crazy. I need a drink. And What does she mean by what I’ve done to her? I haven’t done anything. I paid for her to stop working for Karen. I stayed away from her as she asked. How can that be worse? I walk to the bar area as Devin is standing near the bar with a glass of whiskey in his hand. I take it from him and I drink it straight away.I put the glass down on the bar and he looks at me.

Harry POV I feel the warmth coming from Alice’s body and I can’t help myself but to lift her chin to make her look at me. Her beautiful blue eyes meet mine and I feel my heart fluttering. How can a set of eyes have such power over me?“Alice we need to talk” - I say and she nods her head softly. I grab her hand and we walk to a small bench on the side of the balcony. Alice shivers and I take my jacket off and she puts it on. It’s massive on her but it makes me smile watching her hugging herself while she feels my smell on her. “Alice, why are you still working?” - I ask her and her eyes meet mine once again and I see confusion in them. Sh

Alice POV Harry’s phone has been ringing for hours and I don’t want to answer it. I put it in silence at the dining room table. I will have to give him his phone eventually. I don’t know what to think. Karen made me believe he was a bad guy and that she regretted loving him. But then. He looked so sincere when he was talking to me. And his arms around me made me feel so safe. I walk to the table and I see that Karen is calling him. Why would she be calling Harry? She was supposed to hate him. What is going on?I pick up the phone and I answer it“Hello” - I say with a lower riskier voiceI know I’m not t
