Addison’s POVSo now Hayden and I have a new status. Yes, we're dating. This made me feel a little better because I didn't want to make it awkward for us to meet. Plus, we were friends for a long time. Hayden has always been good to me and helped me a lot, so there's no harm if I give him a chance to take our relationship to a more definite level. Anyway, I think I feel very confident in Hayden already. He's a nice guy, and like Shofia said, Hayden is the right person for me. Yeah, I hope so.After leaving the cafe, we now took a stroll to enjoy the afternoon atmosphere that seemed very warm. We headed to a city park where many couples and small families were also enjoying their afternoon time. It's pretty nice, we can meet many people here and greet each other. I think we've come to this park before. Yes, I remember coming back from the party we were at that night."Look, there's a photo box over there!" Hayden pointed to a large box in front of us. He turned to me with a smiling fac
Addison’s POVI waited for Hayden, who was waiting in line for my cake order. I just sat here watching as the people slowly moved forward. The queue shrank a little. No wonder the cake outlet was crowded because they made a big promo to attract customers amid emerging competition.As I waited, I noticed the sky looked very clear this afternoon. In the next few hours, it will turn dark. I liked the night sky, where many stars were scattered to accompany the moon.I let out a long breath while folding my hands. The afternoon breeze blew the dry leaves further on the paving blocks. The atmosphere was very cozy and not too cold.I hummed a little as I looked at the park, which seemed crowded with children running happily. They looked so happy as if they didn't have any burdens. I wished I could go back to my childhood. I don't remember my childhood, whether I was happy then or mediocre. All I remembered was my mother's death when I was very young. And perhaps that was the saddest moment t
Damon’sPOVBeloved?Obviously, I was shocked to hear that fact. Addison and that man had been in a relationship as lovers. I should have guessed that it was bound to happen sooner or later, plus Addison's memory was also having problems. Mr Clarke must have said many sweet words to Addison and made her melt. Sneaky guy. I guess I was right in guessing that he used that opportunity to melt Addison's heart.However, still knowing they had a special relationship made me unable to accept it. How dare he look for opportunities in Addison's weakened state. I'm sure Mr. Clarke has taken Addison's heart to easily accept it. And making up bad stories about me to make Addison hate me even more.But, right now, there are many things that I have to explain to Addison because Addison has wholly forgotten me and everything about our marriage. But strangely, Addison didn't forget about the man or his friend. It made me sad to have been forgotten. If only Addison had remembered everything that happen
Damon’s POVJared still didn't answer my question. He was more focused on driving, but I could tell he was sick of hearing me ramble on like this. But who cares?The car is running at a moderate speed, and the streets this afternoon seem very crowded smoothly. We will be heading home now. I don't know where Mr. Clarke took Addison, either back to Addison's or the man's house. I was curious as to what they were going to do.I let out a rough breath. How could I even think about that? After all, it's Addison and her boyfriend's business. Wherever they go or what they want to do is none of my business. However, the problem is that I still can't accept that they are lovers. I didn't. I haven't received that fact yet. I can't let Mr. Clarke get Addison."Do I not deserve Addison at all?" I tried to speak again after Jared ignored my words."Yes. Suppose you look at what you've done to Miss Rundolph over the past two years. I don't think you deserve Miss Rundolph."I paused at Jared's reply
Cora POV I'm still thinking of ways to make Damon melt back into me. I can't just let Damon go, especially now that Damon is also divorced from Addison, so there is no longer a barrier between me and Damon. For some reason, Addison has always been a big problem for me. This afternoon, I decided to take a walk outside. I'm so sick of being at home with my mom, who's always talking about money and other useless things. A few days ago, a jewellery store employee came to the house and demanded payment for the jewellery I bought the other day. It really pissed me off. How could Damon just let go and no longer want to pay for my purchases? Plus, my savings were already running low, so I couldn't pay for the jewellery, and they had to take it back from me.Damn it! That was so embarrassing for me. How could Damon embarrass me by doing that? He should have been kind and willing to pay the bill instead of leaving everything to me. I didn't expect him to be so cruel to me. Damon had also blo
Cora’s POVAfter the incident in the city park that afternoon, I've been thinking about how to make Addison stop getting close to Damon. I intended to warn Addison and ask her to focus on her relationship with Mr. Clarke and leave Damon alone.I just exited the taxi that took me to Addison's residence. I stood on the side of the road, looking at the building in front of me, the house that Addison lived in. I wasn't so sure because I didn't know where Addison lived.But I became very sure after seeing this building in front of me. It was very similar to the house that Damon lived in. Is this the house Damon gave me?After much thought, I finally forced my feet closer to the house. I had intended to meet Addison and give her a warning.I'm already standing on the house's porch and don't know why I'm just staying here. A bell was next to the door, and I had no intention of pressing it yet."Oh, Cora... you must remember what you came here for. If you're a coward, Damon will go back to
Addison’s POVDamon and I have been a married couple for about four years now, and over the past two years, I've noticed that Damon, my husband's attitude, is very different from when we first got married. Damon, who used to be so warm, caring, and loved me so much, has turned so cold, and it's as if he's no longer reachable.I've known Damon my whole life. We've been friends since childhood, and I love him very much. Damon has always been very kind and warm to me. It's just that in the past two years, he's been very cold to me. Sometimes, he also treated me very harshly. He's turned into a man I don't recognise.I'm sure this marriage won't last much longer because I know that my husband has another woman behind my back. We never had a warm conversation anymore, not even to say hello. Plus, we've also been sleeping separately for months.There was nothing to look forward to at all.I let out a long breath. Thinking about my marriage that was already on the brink. I felt that it coul
Addison’s POVI let out a long breath as I exited the taxi that had brought me to the front of the divorce hall building. I felt the warm mid-afternoon breeze hit the skin on my face, which instantly warmed up.From across the street here, I could see a very familiar man standing in front of the divorce hall building. I could see his eyes glaring at me. I don't know what will happen to me later. Maybe I'll get angry, considering I didn't show up as promised.Damon is a very time-disciplined man. Damon disliked lateness because he was a man who came from a wealthy family, the sole successor of his family's giant company. That's why he values discipline so much.I started to cross the deserted street, running a little up the stairs that were only a few steps. Now I could see that the man hadn't come alone. Next to Damon stood a beautiful woman wearing a very elegant dress with a soft combination of colors. The woman's name was Cora. She was the woman my husband had been in love with fo
