The days bled into one another, and Harry was living the dream life with Melissa. He had just officially graduated from Crestview University, he didn't attend the festivities or even made any fuss about it. Harry and the school were still at loggerheads because of his nightclub that was pretty much located in the university area. He didn't want the attention his presence there would attract, and he has it on good authority that Marcus's father has it out for him. Harry found this ridiculous and amusing since he wasn't the one who killed his son. Harry celebrated his graduation with the only person who gave a damn about him graduating, and that was Mia. But Harry has been keeping busy with work, he didn't find his mind wandering, except for thoughts of sex. Alicia did things to him that Melissa paled in comparison to. There were certain sexual acts you couldn't do to a girl you saw a future with. This was one of those moments. Harry realized that he would never be able to treat

Harry was actively trying to fix the issue placed in front of him, but he understood that he had to tread carefully so that matters from one sphere of his life did not spill into another. Ever since the system had been activated a month earlier, Harry’s life had split into several different trajectories. Kathryn agreed to assist him, but only on the condition that he could provide solid, sustainable evidence to support his claims. She set up a meeting, but Harry was firm that the location could not be the police station. That request alone was suspicious, yet Kathryn chose not to challenge it, confident that she could handle Harry physically if things turned hostile. With Winston calling in sick, she would be attending alone and lacked the chance to consult him or hear his thoughts on the situation. Harry arrived in his car and pulled up at the restaurant where Brandon worked. Kathryn wasn’t dressed in her police uniform, yet everything about her demeanor clearly identified her

Harry arrived back home and found Melissa already asleep. He found himself wondering whether she had any kind of social world beyond him and Rhiannon.How could she be so satisfied with such a small circle of people?He couldn’t quite wrap his mind around it, yet the house was spotless, and a warm meal had been prepared and left waiting for him.Harry had initially been unsure about letting Melissa stay with him, but things had unfolded far better than he ever expected.He had nothing to complain about, she played the role of a girlfriend flawlessly, and more importantly, she knew when to give him space.He was fully aware that this arrangement wouldn’t last forever, yet he caught himself wishing it wouldn’t end.The early phase of anything is always the best, and you only experience it once, if you don’t savor it while it lasts, you may find yourself with little reason to hold on when things get difficult.Harry sat down to eat, making sure not to speak or create any noise, since wak

Harry ultimately relented and agreed to let Clara train him, deciding that he had nothing to lose by doing so.If nothing else, it would allow him to gain a deeper understanding of the kind of person Clara truly was.Still, there was always the chance that things could spiral out of control at any moment, since Harry might give in to his desire, though Clara seemed like someone capable of turning him down.That realization brought him a measure of calm, because she appeared to be the type who could stand her ground.Harry returned to his apartment and became aware that his erection was painfully rigid, feeling as though it had turned into steel capable of piercing anything.He knew he couldn’t release his pent-up desire with Melissa, because what he wanted to do would be too much for her, at least for now.There was, however, someone who could handle it, and that person was Alicia.Even so, Harry understood that he needed to tread carefully, as she was gradually gaining celebrity stat

The day wrapped up, and before she knew it, an entire week had flown by.Alicia was in the middle of filming her very last scene for the movie. Unlike typical productions that take a year or more before hitting theaters, this one was slated for an almost immediate release, which felt unusual since barely any official marketing had kicked off yet.Social media had stepped in to carry most of the load, sparing the team from pouring huge budgets into traditional promotion. They cleverly leaned into Alicia’s striking appearance, and the modeling agencies she’d previously worked with jumped in to “support” her by reposting and hyping her images. It was pure engagement bait, and it worked brilliantly.Alicia was now signed with Valist, but those earlier agencies still owned all the rights to her past photos. There was nothing shady about what they were doing, it was just smart business. No one passes up a golden opportunity like that.The momentum snowballed. Paparazzi shots of her surfaced
