Hardin After Novels & Stories

the guy cried, as he raised the gun again. I saw the indecision on his face fade as he made up his mind to shoot. His face hardened, and his jaw tightened. Without hesitation, I pulled the trigger on my assault rifle. The shot smashed the window in the building opposite me, shattering glass everywhere. The glass hit the floor a second before the guy's dead body did.

I asked as he was a nice human being but would die from my hands if he turned out to be a betrayer. “Mr. Harvey told me to run a background check on Hardin the other day and…” he spoke but went silent all of a sudden while I was curious and growing impatient to know what was the case. “Theo, don’t test my patience right now…” “Hardin was Ms. Sarah’s fiancé; he was the guy who cheated on her and perhaps” Theo spoke making my eyes wide in shock. I remember Sarah in pain, I knew something happened in the past but what the fuck is going on?

But because we chose each other. It’s been just over six months, and life somehow found a rhythm. A loud, messy, imperfect, beautiful rhythm. Hardin had handed over most of his underground dealings to someone else—someone he trusted enough to keep it clean and far away from our lives. He still ran his legit companies, though. Mornings usually began with him shirtless on a business call, coffee in hand, while I muttered about him distracting me before work. He still distracted me.

Even after walking away, Liesel and Elijah could hear the quiet discussions among the researchers. "Is that Mr. Hardin?" "I remember hearing that Liesel's lover is the former CEO of Hardin Group, the second son of the Hardin family. Apparently, Mr. Hardin's legs were crippled in a car accident. Otherwise, Ms. Sharp wouldn't have taken over as the CEO." "Mr. Hardin is truly lovesick. He'd left all of his assets and shares to her." "So what if he loves her? He's crippled now. For the rest of his life, he'll never be normal again. Ms. Sharp can take care of him for a few years, but will she be able to keep it up as time passes?"

A figure stood in front of a window gazing at the empty and dark street of L.A, she had no idea how long she had been standing over there but it was getting late.. Hardin left home earlier this morning and hadn't returned since then, they weren't always on good terms but that didn't stop her from worrying about his safety. It escaped her mind every single time to ask him about the nature of his job, this was infact the first time he had stayed out this late..

"Huh?" “His name is Hardin. The one who sings and plays guitar. Fifth semester majoring in Business Management. The hottest and sexiest among the others. Has who knows how many tattoos. Anyway, Hardin is the most wanted in The Givers, although the others are no less handsome.” Caitlin’s long explanation made Amel nod.

“I’m just interested in you. You look so familiar. Have we met somewhere?” Hardin scoffed, his expression dismissive. “I don’t think so. I would have remembered a face like that.” Butcher’s smile grew wider. “I think I have, though. You sure you're not trying to hide something?” Hardin’s eyes flashed with anger. “Stop butting into my business. It could get dangerous for you.” Butcher’s smile never wavered. “That just makes me more interested. I don’t think I can stop.” Hardin’s voice was venomous. “Then you’ll just have to accept whatever happens next.”

Do you know that part in After, where Tessa locked eyes with Hardin in the on campus coffee shop? I bet a lot was going through her mind in that moment and she was feeling more and I bet she wanted more. But he turned to look away and exited the shop. I think he left her longing, wanting even when she didn't want to. I understand Tessa today.

Did Cherry return for Hardy? Then…

Hardin’s voice was eager, eyes wide and fixed on Antonio’s face as if reading the verdict there. Antonio let the silence stretch just enough to make him lean forward before breaking into a warm grin. “Yes, little man. You’re a genius.” “Yesss!” Hardin pumped his fist, then broke into a grin that stretched ear to ear. “That means I can teach Tessa too!” he added.
