SLEEPING WITH THE DEVIL ~GIDEON’S POV~Harper had no idea, how I was getting revenge for her. It was not my fight but I made it mine when Edward tried to lay his hands on Her.She sat a few feet away, swirling her glass of wine, lost in her world as she stared out the vineyard. Clueless. Content.I wanted to keep it that way, but Edward was testing me. Big mistake. I stood up, buttoning my shirt. The vineyard light cast a long shadow over the table where we sat.I reached for my phone, dialing a familiar number. The line barely rang before it was answered.“Gideon” Jessica's voice came from the other end of the line.“I am still waiting to hear back from you” My voice was calm, harper looked my way with a smile and I smiled back. “I am working on it, it is not as simple as you think,” she said“I expect to hear back from you Sooner, remember what is on the line” I reminded her before hanging up the phone.“Who was that?” Harper asked.“Work, love,” I told her, grabbing her wrist an

(Manipulation) ~HARPER'S POV~My heart dropped as I stepped through the doorway of my own home. The lock wasn't engaged. The door had swung open with barely a touch of my key."Alice?" I called out, tossing my bag onto the entryway table. No answer.The house was quiet—too quiet. I moved through the rooms, checking each, irritation building with every space I found.

We need to figure this out."I hung up, pinching the bridge of my nose. Three perfect days away with Gideon, and now this.

(A Different person)~HARPER POV~I paced the living room, retracing Alice's behavior since she'd shown up at my doorstep. Her sudden appearance aftergetting into a fight.Her vague explanations about needing a place to stay. The secretive phone calls she thought I didn't notice.And more recently, the annoying behavior she blames on morning sickness.God, how could I have been so blind?The sound of a car pulling into the driveway jolted me from my thoughts. I rushed to the window, relief washing over me when I saw Gideon's sleek black car. He hadn't even turned off the engine before he was out and striding toward the door.I yanked it open before he could knock."Harper," he breathed, taking in my tear-stained face. His arms were around me instantly, solid and secure. "What happened?"I buried my face in his chest, allowing myself a moment of comfort before the storm of questions that needed answers."Edward was here," I finally said, pulling back to look at him. "He told me... he t
