Addison’s POV We were already at one of the biggest malls in the city. Hayden asked what we were going to do first. I just followed them and didn't want to make any rules. "Addison, did you eat lunch?" Shofia asked me. As I recall, I hadn't eaten lunch after the break and had only drunk fruit juice. Then I shook my head. "Well, we'll have lunch first, Hayden," Shofia said to Hayden, who nodded.So, we looked for a fast food restaurant in this mall. There was a lot of junk food, but Shofia forbade me from having lunch with that. It's not healthy, she said. So again, I just obeyed her. We're already at a fast food restaurant that serves heavy food and is, of course, very healthy. I trusted Shofia with all her recommendations. We enjoyed our food while chatting casually. Shofia and Hayden had more to say, and I just listened and occasionally chimed in. They were such good friends that they didn't forget to chat with me."Addison, don't forget to take your medicine first." Shofia act
Addison’s POV I still stood transfixed and didn't move at all. I didn't even seem to notice my surroundings, even though I was with Shofia and Hayden. That man, the man I remember very well named Damon Saunders, I don't know what he did to me so that his gaze seemed to be able to hypnotize me. Since then, my eyes were only on him. There were flashes of images that came and went in my memory. But everything seemed like it needed to be more specific. "Addison." I heard a voice calling my name right next to me, but my eyes only seemed to be on that man. Damon Saunders. Really, that man is Damon Saunders? Because that was the only name that suddenly popped into my head. "Addison, can you hear me?" I gasped at Hayden's call as he shook my arm. "Hayden." I looked up at Hayden, who was standing next to me with his eyes full of concern for me. It seemed like the magic that the man, I think the stranger, had bewitched me so that my attention was only on him was gone. "Are you okay?" Hayd
Damon’s POV I'm home and currently sitting at the dining table. The waiter had just served me dinner. And, right in front of me, a plate containing a very delicious and appetizing-looking dinner began to tickle my sense of smell. However, I didn't touch the food at all; all I was doing at the moment was recalling the incident earlier this afternoon when I met Addison along with her two friends. I thought Addison was still undergoing medical tests and hadn't been allowed to come out yet. It turns out I was wrong. When I first saw Addison, I was surprised and happy. I never expected that we would meet again in a place I never thought we would. If I had turned down the meeting with my client earlier, I wouldn't have been able to meet Addison. So, I feel very lucky that I came to meet them in the end. I was actually having some business to discuss with a client at one of the restaurants inside the mall. I accidentally saw Addison, who already looked very healthy and even more different
Damon’s POV When I woke up this morning, my head suddenly hurt a lot. My body also seemed very weak and a little cold. I don't know what's happening to me now. It seems like I have a fever. Last night, I had trouble sleeping and was a little dizzy.I knew that I would eventually drop. My strength was getting weaker after the past few days of deliberately pushing myself to work harder just to punish myself for what happened to Addison. My head was throbbing with pain again as if I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed my cell phone and immediately called Jared. I asked him to come immediately. Otherwise, I would die right now. I didn't care about the threat I'd made to him. I wanted him to come here immediately. I sat on the edge of the bed, still clutching my head tightly. I couldn't stand it. It hurt so much. It was like a needle was stabbing my head, and it hurt so much. Moments later, Jared walked into my room without knocking first. Maybe he was frightened by my threat. "What's
Damon’s POVA few days later, after a good rest, my health had improved, and I started working at the office. I reluctantly agreed to Jared's request to rest at home for a few days. I also listened to the advice and counsel from Jared, who told me to survive and not to give up just because I felt guilty and forgotten by Addison.I'm currently busy at the office finishing up some work that was delayed while I was sick. Jared was here with me. Although there was Jared could have replaced the work, Jared could not fully handle everything and still needed my signature."Is everything done?" I asked Jared, who currently seemed focused on his laptop.Jared raised his head and looked at me while nodding his head. "Yes, Mr. Saunders. It's all done."I nodded back and stood up from my seat. My hand reached for the suit jacket on the capstok and put it on."Are you leaving, sir?"I glanced at Jared, who was still sitting in his chair. "I have a meeting with Mr. Rundolph."Jared just nodded his
Addison’s POVI'm currently standing in front of the tall mirror in my room. I'm wearing the dress that Hayden gave me the other day. Yes, tonight we are going to Hayden's business relations party. He asked me to accompany him to the party, and since I didn't want to disappoint him, I finally said yes.I'm still silent in front of the mirror. I'm thinking about someone. Damon Saunders. The figure of a man who still makes me curious about who he is. I don't know why the figure on his face always haunts me when I go to bed or when I'm silent like this. Sometimes, I've fantasized if that man was right before me, smiling and confessing something vague.I feel very strange about what I'm experiencing. When I asked Shofia, Hayden, and even my father about it, they said nothing. Because everyone around me kept their mouths shut, in the end, I searched for news about Damon Saunders, and I got some information about who that man was. It turned out that Damon Saunders was Coraline Hills' lover.
Addison’s POVI frowned in surprise at the woman's words. Meanwhile, the woman I knew to be Damon's girlfriend was still laughing and grinning. "What do you mean, Ms. Hills? Why would you say something like that?""Ah! You're just like that. Don't pretend to be naive like an innocent woman. You think I don't know anything about you."Hayden stepped closer to the woman. "You shouldn't make a scene here," he snapped at her.The woman named Cora challenged Hayden and stepped right in front of him with a sharp and cynical look in her eyes. "You think I'm scared? I won't be scared because Damon is by my side."Because of Damon? Oh, of course, it was because she was Damon's girlfriend from the article I read earlier. One thing I was still wondering was, what exactly was the conflict between Damon and Hayden, those women and me?"You need to behave yourself and not talk out of turn," Hayden said again to Cora.After saying that to Cora, Hayden took my hand to leave. Maybe we'd stay away from
Addison’s POVI enjoyed the party well and was lucky not to see the couple again. In the middle of the party, my mind was still filled with Damon and Cora. There were a lot of questions in my head about them, but I wasn't going to ask Hayden about it. It's not that I don't want to believe it. It's just that Hayden seems to be trying to hide something from me. It wasn't just Hayden either, but Shofia and Dad were the same who didn't want to talk much about what I was asking. Therefore, I tried to find out about Damon again, whether it had anything to do with me.While Hayden was chatting with the other guests, I took the time to open my phone and search for information about Damon. However, after I searched and found no news related to Damon and me, in all the articles I read, it only said that Damon was Coraline Hills' lover. They're even getting married soon. Wouldn't it be weird if Cora told me that I was trying to take Damon away from her? However, another article said that Damon a
