Once we get out of the car

Harry POVIt’s been hours since we arrived at the police station. They keep asking the same questions over and over again. I kept my mouth shut as Steve instructed me. Steve gave them the contacts of my security team to pass them the footage of my CCTV cameras. I had to provide the personal passcode to access the cameras from my office. It took them three hours to get the images. But at least they have them. They will be able to see that it was all consensual. Steve was the first one to see the footage, and I can see the smile plastered on his face. “Kinky” - he says“Please”, - I say, dismissing his try of a joke. “This is gonna be easier than I

Harry POV After a quick shower, I get dressed in one of my tailored suits. I fix my tie while I look at myself in the mirror, and I pass my hands through my hair. I shake my head, taking a deep breath. What the hell is Rita thinking she’s going to get with this? I never thought she would do something like this. Alice is making some more coffee and some snacks.

Alice is just collateral damage. “Are you ready, my love?” - D asks me.“As I’ll ever be”, - I say as I put on the seatbelt, and he starts the car.

Alice POV   I am making the bed when the doorbell rings. I look through the window, and I see the reporters taking photos, and I see Devin with his shades in his eyes and with his arms crossed.

How are you doing?” - he asks me while we go to the front room. The conference is being televised, and I can’t wait to see Harry taking down that bitch. She’s been lying and manipulating Harry.
