Addison’s POV I let out a long breath, then answered Hayden's question about my inability to get married too soon. "Because I have found out what happened to me in the past. It really shocked me after I found out that I was a woman who was once married and left everything for the man I once loved, but that man gave me hell instead." I guess the memory of the marriage was still too vague, and I just listened to my father's explanation. If I remembered everything, it would have been much worse than what you told me. Hayden seemed to be listening to my words very intently. I took a sip of wine from my glass and started talking again. "Even though I don't remember Damon very well, something remains. I can't just get married without thinking about anything. I want us to get to know each other well. I also want us to go through the relationship like water flowing and as it is. No coercion or urgency. We can do that, right?" I knew what happened to me was like traumatizing a marriage, so
Addison’s POV I accompanied Hayden, who was cooking. Actually, I just watched her and didn't do anything. It seemed like he was already very good at making fettucini. Hayden had already prepared the ingredients needed to make our dinner. "You'd better sit down and wait there because it won't take long." I nodded and then chose to sit on the bar stool. Watching the man cook. If you pay attention, Hayden looks very sexy when he's cooking. The aura of his handsome face radiated even more charm and made me unable to look away from him. Occasionally, Hayden turned to me and smiled. He was charming. I smell a very strong aroma of garlic and cheese here. It tastes very good, and I really like the fragrance. Normally, I would make Dad pasta every time we had dinner, but this time, I let Hayden do the cooking for me. Speaking of pasta, I think I have my favorite pasta that I often make for Damon.I shook my head vigorously as I thought back to him. I get annoyed when I'm with Hayden, and
Addison’s POV Hayden and I chatted about many things. He also told me how exciting it was when we were in college. However, he was disappointed that I had to leave college for something. Hayden didn't talk much about that one, but I knew it was when I got married to Damon in secret. After a few hours at Damon's house, I decided to go home since it was getting late. I couldn't possibly stay overnight at his house. What would his parents say? Plus, I certainly couldn't make him worry alone at home. Hayden drove me home, and we talked again on the way to my house as if what we talked about was endless. It felt really good for today. I experienced something different, and I definitely liked it.Hayden stopped the car right in front of my house. Hayden seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then we looked at each other and smiled happily. "Don't get off yet. Let me open the door for you." Hayden moved quickly to unfasten the seat belt, then exited the car.I couldn't help but smile as
Addison’s POV I was still thinking about what my father had said. Even though it's been a few days since we discussed the company that Damon is involved with, I'm still thinking about what my father told me not to forget Damon. I've now started working in your office, and I'm trying to forget about Damon and not care about your request because I don't think it's worth considering anymore. However, when I do a lot of activities, I often hear Damon's name frequently mentioned. It makes me see the news, such as in infotainment on one of the social media or on several television channels. Some of the employees here even talk about Damon. It makes me very uncomfortable, but I try to be okay. I also don't want to burden Dad and assume everything is fine. I still need your help teaching me how to do this job. Even in the employees' conversations, Damon's name is sometimes mentioned again, making me have to exhale a long breath and wonder if it's a common thing that often happens here. Ho
Addison’s POV Even without looking back, I knew it was Damon. I still persisted without looking back at him at all. I intended to continue, but my legs felt very heavy as if there were invisible nails stuck in my feet. Finally, I tried my best and managed to move here. However, Damon managed to block my steps, and suddenly he hugged me.I was obviously surprised, but I couldn't seem to do anything when Damon was hugging my body. I felt a glimpse of an image flash through my mind. "Please, Addison." Damon held my body tightly so I could feel his perfume's fragrance. It was very soft and soothing, and I remember this fragrance as if I had tasted it long ago. My heart beat quickly, and my body seemed to respond to Damon's touch, making me feel comfortable. I close my eyes while biting my lip. I want to resist, but I can't. "I'm sorry, Addison, for everything I've done. I'm very sorry and hope you'll allow me to fix everything that happened between us." Hearing Damon's words, I insta
Damon’s POV I didn't catch up with Addison, who went away from me. This should have been the right time to explain to Addison what had happened, but I didn't want to force her. I think my words surprised her enough earlier and left her speechless. But I wish I had more time to explain everything to Addison so that she could understand our true condition. I walked to the parking lot to get Jared to return to the office, but I couldn't find him when I got to my car. I finally called Jared and asked where he was. "Where is he?" I asked Jared when his phone call connected. Jared said he was in the restroom. I said I'd follow him there but wanted to go to the toilet, too. So I walked Jared over there. As I was about to pass through the hallway to the restroom, I overheard a male and female conversation that I recognized as Jared and Addison. I was happy to see Addison again, but I tried to restrain myself from approaching Addison there with Jared. Remembering that I had made the mistak
Damon’s POV I managed to hold Addison's body and hug her to keep her from falling to the asphalt. I don't know why I thought this was like a bond. I didn't expect to meet Addison in this situation. God gave me a chance to meet and solve my problem with Addison. And I will make the most of this time. I'll try to explain everything that happened in our marriage again. It seems Addison still hasn't realized anything at the moment, her eyes are still closed, and one hand is holding her forehead, I think she just suddenly got a headache, like what happened before the surgery. I don't think Addison will ever experience anything like this again. Addison seemed to whimper, and this time, she held her head. "Addison, are you okay?" I was still worried that she didn't seem okay. Why did she have to leave the office if she wasn't feeling well like this? I was really very worried about her. If something happened to her and no one knew, wouldn't it be very dangerous? Why is Addison so careless
Hayden’s POV I was so angry at what Damon was doing to Addison. Damon was always trying to stick it to Addison, and I knew what that man wanted with Addison. He wanted her back. Even though for a long time, Damon tortured Addison with all his actions that really hurt Addison. Damon repeatedly says that he will make Addison happy with the man of her choice. But in reality, it was not like what the man had said. Instead, Damon often looks for opportunities to talk to Addison and invite her to repair their relationship, which has been destroyed by his own actions. I was so angry about it. I didn't expect Damon Saunders to go back on his word. I will not remain silent if he tries to take Addison off my hands. Addison and I have a serious agreement in our relationship not to discuss each other's past, especially since Addison's past is the darkest. Addison is also trying to forget all the memories with Damon. Now, a fight was inevitable because Damon's brutal attitude had hurt Addison,
