Three years later  Alice POV “Close your eyes” - Dave says and I do as he tells me. He places both his hands softly on top of my eyes and I put my hands on top of his. “What is going on?” - I ask him.“You will see in a minute” - he tells meWe walk and I feel a breast of fresh air hit my face. I feel a chill down my spine. We stop waking after a little bit and he takes his hands off of my eyes but I keep my eyes closed as he instructed me earlier.“Are you ready?” - Dave asks and I nod my head. I’m with a massive smile on my face. I don’t know exactly what

Alice POVOnce I see the baby in Rita’s arms and Harry kissing her and looking at the baby with adoration I felt as if I could die. He’s got the life I’ve dreamed for me. He’s got the lovely wife and the baby. And me? Yes, I have love and a wonderful marriage but...I thought I had forgotten about Harry. I thought I was over him. But who am I kidding? Harry is the love of my life and although I do love Dave he will never be Harry. Once I finish with Rita I leave the room asking for another midwife to cover for me. I feel as if my heart was breaking again reminding me why I left in the first place. Harry never came looking for me. He never cared. Why would he? He was in a relationship with Karen. I was just means to an end. Karen was right about him all along and I was a

Alice POV Dinner was completely terrible. It was awkward. Rita kept looking at me and Harry as if she knew something happened. I feel terrible. We are in the taxi going to my house when Pat breaks the silence.“So that’s your Harry” - she says“He’s not mine” - I say looking out of the window.“Even a blind person would be able to see your chemistry “ - Pat says and I look at her“What do you mean?” - I ask “He still loves you, and you love him, I don’t know who you’re trying to fool” - Pat says“He betrayed me

Alice POV   As I am getting dressed I feel ashamed as I never felt in my life. What have I done? I see Harry running inside the house probably to get some clothes but I walk down the street and I turn around the corner. I sit on the floor in front of a big gate and I feel my heart-shattering. I love him. But I can’t do this. I really can’t. I stand up after what felt like hours and I call an uber luckily it arrived quite fast.

Alice POVI still can’t get my head around what happened. One minute I was seconds away from being raped and the next Harry was fighting the guys and I was kicking some ass. Now here he is, professing his love for me and I am telling him to go be with his wife and child. Harry place a soft kiss on my lips and I feel the tears stream down both our faces.
