Harry POV
I follow Alice and I see her walking to that prick. She stands next to him talking and smiling at those people that she doesn’t even know. How can she do this to me? People know who she is. They’ve seen our photos in the newspaper. They think she broke up with me to be with that dickhead. I bet my mother will the happy to see this. I can’t even think straight.
Alice standing next to that prick is driving me crazy. I need a drink. And What does she mean by what I’ve done to her? I haven’t done anything. I paid for her to stop working for Karen. I stayed away from her as she asked. How can that be worse? I walk to the bar area as Devin is standing near the bar with a glass of whiskey in his hand. I take it from him and I drink it straight away.
I put the glass down on the bar and he looks at me.
Karen POVToday I will end that little stunt Alice pulled. How did she dare to fall for my men? I have a plan and she is getting in the way. Every woman that got close to him I managed to get out of my way. I need Harry to understand I am the only woman for him. I am the only woman that knows him and that will be able to satisfy his every need. I would die for him, and Alice had to be on the way. I thought she would do her job allowing his family to make him fake break up with Alice and then come to me like he did several occasions before.I know he feels the same way. He told me I was the best he’s ever had. We never talked about it again. But I know that deep down he still wants me. I used to spend all my time with Harry and Samuel. Harry’s parents always liked me and they thought I would be a good fit for Har
Harry POVI feel the warmth coming from Alice’s body and I can’t help myself but to lift her chin to make her look at me. Her beautiful blue eyes meet mine and I feel my heart fluttering. How can a set of eyes have such power over me?“Alice we need to talk” - I say and she nods her head softly. I grab her hand and we walk to a small bench on the side of the balcony. Alice shivers and I take my jacket off and she puts it on. It’s massive on her but it makes me smile watching her hugging herself while she feels my smell on her. “Alice, why are you still working?” - I ask her and her eyes meet mine once again and I see confusion in them. Sh
Harry POVThe ambulance stopped in front of the A&E and I got out of the ambulance following the paramedics taking Devin inside. He looks pale and he had a couple of seizures. The paramedics managed to get him comfortable and sable until we got to the hospital. Once inside they rushed Devin into the observation area and I went in with him. My head is spinning and it feels like I can’t keep my head above water. The doctors arrive immediately and they ask me to leave so they can take care of Devin. I nod my head and I go out. I sit on those uncomfortable chairs and bend over resting my elbows on my knees while I take a deep breath. My hands pass through my hair. I put my
Alice POVHarry’s phone has been ringing for hours and I don’t want to answer it. I put it in silence at the dining room table. I will have to give him his phone eventually. I don’t know what to think. Karen made me believe he was a bad guy and that she regretted loving him. But then. He looked so sincere when he was talking to me. And his arms around me made me feel so safe. I walk to the table and I see that Karen is calling him. Why would she be calling Harry? She was supposed to hate him. What is going on?I pick up the phone and I answer it“Hello” - I say with a lower riskier voiceI know I’m not t
Harry POVI need to go home and change. I have been in these clothes for almost a day and I need a shower. Devin is still not talking to me. He believes that I am doing this to get rid of him. Why would I do that? I worry about him so much. He is my best mate and I can’t even imagine what I would’ve done without him all these years. He was there for me when I needed him. Even being high as a kite he was there. He helped me lift my head again and move on. He was the one cheering me up when I was crying and depressed. I had been through a double betrayal and he was there for me. I could never do anything to harm him. I walk into the room and he is watching tv.“I’m going home and change and then I’m going to try and find Alice” - I say
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
Harry POV“Nice to meet you” - I reply shaking her hand. I feel a jolt of electricity down my body. How is it possible that after all this time she still has this effect on me?“Excuse me” - Alice says and walks out of the room.“How do you know her?” - I ask as Rita comes back to the bed.“We went to the same university. She was friends with a couple of my friends” - Rita says and I nod my head“Why?” - she asks and I shake my head - “just curiosity, you’ve never talked about her” - I let out“We weren’t really friends. She was friends with my friends” - she says before she gets hit by an
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
