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 me
We 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
Don't hate me. Lol So they both moved on. Let me know what you think.
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 Ritaās arms and Harry kissing her and looking at the baby with adoration I felt as if I could die. Heās got the life Iāve dreamed for me. Heās 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
Harry POVItās been one year since Henry was born and I couldnāt be happier. He is giggling and going all the time. Rita decided to stop working to be with him at home. I agreed with her decision. We never needed her to work as money was never a problem for either of us. Devin is the Henryās godfather. And he keeps drooling all over the kid constantly. Today he is babysitting Henry so that I can take Rita out on a date on the night before Henryās first birthday. She deserves to be treated like a Queen. After all, she gave me my biggest treasure. āAre you ready?ā - I asked walking into her dressing room. Rita is sitting at her vanity table finishing her make up. She
Alice POVDinner was completely terrible. It was awkward. Rita kept looking at me and Harry as if she knew something happened. I feel terrible. We are in the taxi going to my house when Pat breaks the silence.“So that’s your Harry” - she says“He’s not mine” - I say looking out of the window.“Even a blind person would be able to see your chemistry “ - Pat says and I look at her“What do you mean?” - I ask “He still loves you, and you love him, I don’t know who you’re trying to fool” - Pat says“He betrayed me
Harry POVI am kneeling in front of Alice. Ready to ask forgiveness for whatever I did that hurt her so much that made her disappear and believe in Karen instead of me. That bitch never admitted anything about what she did to me and Alice but I know sheās done something.I patt myself in the back for a job well done getting rid of her. Devin definitely has a brilliant mind. I focus on the task ahead. Get Alice to forgive me. I donāt know what I expect from this conversation. I just want her back in my life. However, she wants it. I just want her back. I love her too much to stay away. Iām not letting her disappear again. No way in hell. āKaren told me a lot of things about youā - Alice says and I hold her hands on mine.
Alice POV As I am getting dressed I feel ashamed as I never felt in my life. What have I done? I see Harry running inside the house probably to get some clothes but I walk down the street and I turn around the corner. I sit on the floor in front of a big gate and I feel my heart-shattering. I love him. But I canāt do this. I really canāt. I stand up after what felt like hours and I call an uber luckily it arrived quite fast. I clean my tears with the back of my hand and I get in the car. Once I close the door I close my eyes and I see his face. Why did I do this? Heās married and he has

Asks. āYes, cancel my meeting tomorrow with Chinaā - I say āYes sirā - she repliesāReschedule it for next week, Iām not coming in tomorrow ā - I tell herāYes sirāāTake the day offā - I tell her walking back into my office with her on my tale.āThank you, sir. Everyone is waiting for you in the new club down in Claphamā - She tells meāThank youā - I reply grabbing my phone and keys from my desk.āDid my wife call?ā - I ask herāNo sirā
Alice POVI still canāt get my head around what happened. One minute I was seconds away from being raped and the next Harry was fighting the guys and I was kicking some ass. Now here he is, professing his love for me and I am telling him to go be with his wife and child. Harry place a soft kiss on my lips and I feel the tears stream down both our faces. My heart is shattered. I think Iāve never been this broken. He is the love of my life and I am telling him to stay with his wife and kid instead of telling him to fight for me. God how I want him to fight for me. To tell me he loves me and nothing else matters. To tell me he needs me to live and that he wonāt let me go again. I wish I had the strength to allow him to be with me.The door slams opened and Harry takes
