Chapter Forty One

The kiss is blissful. I look into his eyes; his expression is priceless like Josh is over the moon right now.“I can’t believe you feel this way about me,” he says.“Yes, I do, the feeling is out of this world.”“Meaning you’ve guarded your heart so I won’t break through your facade?” he asks.“Not exactly. I’m just being careful. I just came out of a very bad heartbreak, and I’m cautious about trusting my heart again.”“I understand.” “And, more importantly, Chloe is lurking in the corner,” I add.He lowers his gaze. “About Chloe… I told her how I felt about you.”“Are you for real?” I ask, my face lighting up.“Yes, she didn’t take it well, but I’m happy.”“So, how is your new office?” I ask him.“It’s fine, but I miss our meetings together. I schedule those meetings just to see you,” he confesses.“I know.”“I felt bad when you rejected me the first time, but I’m happy you’ve given me a chance. Thank you, Harper. I promise to treat you like the queen you are,” he says, gazing deepl

Chapter Forty Two

Josh looks taken aback by my sudden declaration of love. His eyes are full of so much emotion that I get lost in them. Then, he asks again, “Say that again.”I smile, hesitating for a moment but knowing his expectant gaze won’t let me off the hook. “Josh, I love you.”He stands up from his seat, and I look up, wondering what he’s about to do. He gently tucks my hair behind my ear and says, “I love you too.”I’m on cloud nine. Who would have thought my love story would revolve around Josh, after everything we’ve been through? After dinner, we move to the car, and I can tell he’s all smiles. I feel the same way. He opens the car door for me, and I mutter a thank you. Before he turns to his side, he leans down and kisses me softly.I respond gently, the kiss slow and full of emotion. After a while, he rests his forehead on mine and whispers, “Thank you.”“Thank you too,” I say with a smile, placing my hand on his chest.With a quick kiss on my cheek, he turns around, starts the car with o

Chapter Forty Three

Hearing Nolan’s name, I let out a cough. "I'm in for some real trouble," I think to myself.Josh looks at me with concern, pats my back gently, and asks, "Are you okay?""I'm fine, just a little tickle in my throat," I say, clearing my throat again. I nod and smile, trying to appear calm.He seems to believe me, but unease creeps in. Knowing Josh's connection to Nolan makes me wary.I have a gut feeling that my reckless one-night encounter with Nolan will backfire. This is just the beginning. Optimism aside, I sense impending trouble.We continue our conversation, carefully avoiding any mention of Nolan or his new company."Thank you," Josh says suddenly."For what?" I ask, surprised."Harper, I'm glad you agreed to be my date for the party," he says sincerely, looking into my eyes.Returning his smile, I say, "I wouldn't miss it for anything, Josh."After a while, we leave the restaurant, and he drives me home. We kiss and say our goodbyes. Once inside, I run a warm bath. As I soak, I

Chapter Forty-Four

My heart races hard in my chest, and I close my eyes, hoping it's not Nolan. But I am wrong when he answers me."Yes, Harper. Did you like it?" His voice is so cool as if he doesn't want to cause a whole lot of trouble for me. Josh must not know about Nolan and me. Nolan is so calm on the phone that I wonder what he has planned.Amelia looks at me, confused. I know she has a lot of questions.I stutter, then find my voice and ask, "Why are you sending me gifts? Why are you calling? What do you want?" I ask all the questions at once."Slow down, Harper," he says. "I'm in town, and I thought I should..."I interrupt, "No, no, no. See, we can't do this. I'm with someone. I love him, and I don't want you standing in between what we share.""I wasn't calling for that. I'd like to have a business meeting with you," he says casually, interrupting me."Business meeting?" I ask, surprised, looking at Amelia."I would love to put you through my new shipping company in Seattle."His offer for me

Chapter Forty Five

Everyone is concerned about the situation with Nolan and is giving their opinions."I think you should tell Josh about the one night you had with Nolan," Kate says, holding my hand to give me support. I know she feels guilty, but I am an adult who should have taken control of my emotions that night with Nolan."Hell no, I can't tell him. I don't think Nolan has any ulterior motive; he just wants me to join his new company. Perhaps he has done his research and found out how valuable I am to my company.""Valuable indeed. You better do the right thing by coming clean to Josh. It's not like you cheated on him; it happened when you guys weren't together, and we don't know if Nolan wants to be funny," Amelia says."You should be honest with Josh because it's the right thing to do," Kate adds.Amelia agrees, "Yeah, telling the truth is important, and you didn't cheat on him."My friends care about me and want what is best for me. I hope everything will work out okay.We talk all through the

Chapter Forty Six

Truth be told, I don't know how I would feel if Jane treated me unpleasantly. The fact that Josh seems blind to Jane's attitude towards me makes me wonder if he noticed or just chose to ignore it. It's too early in our relationship to complain about Jane's behavior since we just met once."Jane will be there. Gosh, that girl makes me feel so small," I say, thinking about our last encounter.I don't know what I would do, but I know I'll be on my best behavior and won't let her get in my way."If I were you, I would give her back her coin. Like if I have a flute of champagne in my hand, I will splash it all over her," Ava says. I know she doesn't like Jane because of what I have told her.I turn to Ava and call out her name in surprise. "That makes us even. I know I'm better than that," I say.Kate and Amelia laugh at Ava's bold suggestion."Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that. Maybe Jane will surprise us and be pleasant this time," I say, trying to take Ava's mind off the payback s

Chapter Forty Seven

Josh still has a puzzled look and asks, "Do you guys know each other?""Not really," I answer immediately, while Nolan replies, "Yes," at the same time.I notice the confusion in Josh's eyes as he looks at me, expecting an explanation. I avoid his gaze and say, "We met when I went to Coupeville.""And it was a lovely experience," Nolan adds, looking at me uncomfortably. I feel like the ground should open and swallow me as Josh looks even more confused.Trying to find his words, Josh stammers, "I... I see.""I see the two of you are close," Nolan says, looking between Josh and me.Josh chuckles and looks into my eyes. "Harper is my employee and also my girlfriend.""Ooh, you know, that's perfect. That way, I can help your relationship flourish by taking her to work for me, so you don't breach the company's policy," Nolan says with a grin.Nolan is overstepping his bounds. I thought he was considerate when I explained that I didn't want anything to do with him at Coupeville. But what he'

Chapter Forty Eight

While in the car, I am lost in thought as a comfortable silence surrounds us. I am grateful that he doesn’t say anything, just as I remain silent.He drops me off and walks me to the front door. He looks into my eyes and says, "I know you have a lot you want to tell me. When you’re ready to share, I’ll be right here."Without saying a word, he hugs me. We kiss, and I pour all my emotions into the kiss—feelings I can’t express in words.I go straight to the shower to have a warm bath, letting my mind drift and question whether I must reveal my dirty secret from the past to Josh.I am ashamed and unsure how to express myself. Should I continue hiding my secret, hoping it won’t haunt me, or should I tell Josh the truth? How do I reveal my past to the present?Amelia is still around; she promised to stay and hear about my night with Josh. When I come out of the bathroom, she looks at me with concern and asks what is wrong.I sigh and say, "Everything."I explained everything that happened

Chapter Forty Nine

"Why is all this happening? My past is haunting me, whereas Josh has only been too sweet," I wonder aloud."Amelia, you were a side chick all along," I say, and Amelia bursts out laughing.I look at her with an unpleasant expression. "And now Shawn confesses that he slept with someone else.""Well, at least he confessed to the act, Harper. When you see Josh next, try to come clean with him," Amelia says.I nod. As we lie there in the room, the weight of the recent revelations hangs heavy in the air. I wonder how I will face Josh and explain my past, especially after everything that has unfolded. Amelia's laughter has subsided, and she too seems lost in her thoughts. With that, we drift off to sleep.The ringing of my phone wakes me up immediately. I answer, "Can I help you?""My love, we need to talk over dinner.""No, talk about what?" I ask."I disagree; we need to discuss business," he says."Then we can discuss it over the phone," I reply."No, I prefer to discuss business face to

Chapter Fifty

Josh and Nolan continue their conversation. "It depends on what you want from me, Nolan," Josh says angrily."What?" Josh exclaims, still holding me close for moral support.My thoughts are everywhere. What has Nolan told Josh to make him say 'What'?I wish I could hear what Nolan is saying on the other end of the line. Nolan seems determined to ruin me. I'm shaking and can hardly breathe while Josh keeps holding onto my hand.I should have listened to Amelia when she said I should come clean to Josh, I think to myself."No, no, that can't be true," Josh says again.I feel defeated. Nolan has ruined me.Josh shouts again and looks my way. My heart pounds. What has Nolan told Josh?"What does Nolan want? He has chains of hotels and nightclubs. What is he looking for in maritime? This guy wants to ruin me, and I know I have to act fast with Jane's underhanded messages with so many meanings."With anger, Josh hangs up the call, placing one of his hands on his head, very angry with Nolan.
