Chapter 159- Vera's Threat

HARDIN'S POV

“ The answer is no Hardin, I don't care that it isn't my house, I'm your best friend and I'm going to direct you to the right part when you're not thinking straight, even the guys aren't going to like your decision, you want her to come live with us, that manipulative bitch!" she said in anger, I knew that this was going to be her reaction,

“ Vera, I don't know what to say anymore, what if something happens to her and it turns out all this is not her trying to get my attention?” I asked and Vera sighed,

" Fine but I swear if she does anything to annoy me, I'll kick her out of the house," she said as a matter of fact leaving no room for argument.

“ Alright, do whatever you want, it's your house too," I said,

“ I can't believe I'll be seeing that woman's annoying face every morning, it's going to ruin my mood," I said,

" I'm sorry babygirl, it won't be for long,” I said and she sighed,

“ Alright I have to go, I've got work to do," she said,

“ Okay, see you later so we can talk more, bye," I said before I ended the call,

That was settled, now what else did I have to settle? Yeah right, I needed to take this document to my boss for her signature.

Remind me why I signed that document again? Yeah, because I didn't fucking know she'd be my boss.

I took the document as I walked out of my office and headed to hers. I knocked on the door and heard her voice telling me to come in.

“ Miss Miller, I need you to sign this please, well after you must have reviewed it," I said, because it was obvious she didn't trust me.

Wouldn't want her to think I gave her the document to sign the company's rights to me.

“ I'll sign," she said as she took the document and just glanced through it and signed,

“ Thank you Miss Miller," I said and was about to walk out but she stopped me, I really didn't want to talk about anything to her,

“ Hardin, wait," she says and I stopped,

“ Is there anything you'd like me to do for you?" I asked and she sighed before standing up,

“ Look I can be a crackhead sometimes,––" you mean every time? I thought to myself,

“ I'm sorry about how I sounded, I was just a little stressed, okay I was really stressed," she said,

" It's okay, I understand, I have some work to take care of, is there anything you'd like me to do for you?” I asked her,

She moved close to me but I moved back,

“ We're in the office Miss Miller, I've got work to do," I said and without another word I walked away.

I'm not going to be a victim of that attitude of hers disrespecting me like I was less of a person.

VERA'S POV

That stupid lying snake, I know what she was up to, she thinks by living with us she'd be able to win her way into my best friend's heart but that's not going to happen.

Except I'm not alive but I'll not watch that witch come into my best friend's life and destroy it then vanish to wherever she came from.

She did it once and there's not guarantee that she won't come back and destroy his life again. I'm not going to allow that.

She's not welcome, not when my best friend was concerned, he was all I have, the only family I know wouldn't leave me, I had Jess, Mark and Ronny but Hardin was my number one and I won't let anyone hurt him.

Tears gathered by eyes when I remembered how far we've come. When he left her he was just like a shell in his own body, he didn't care about himself, it was always her, not until I talked some sense into him.

And now the witch is back as what? What does she want in his life? I understand that she was his first love but they were never meant to be.

He needs to realize that and she needs to leave him alone. Hardin has gone through a lot.

I know him very well and I know he still has a special place in his heart reserved for only her and if he starts seeing her everyday, he's going to start bringing down those walls he built so high. That's exactly what she wants.

He has been acting like he doesn't care about her when I know that the moment he sees her, he feels like sweeping her away for himself. It's like he's bewitched, he tries to hide it but I see past him and now he wants her to come live with us.

Annoying.

“ I fucking hate that woman?" I groaned in annoyance,

“ Are you okay Vera, you've been out of it for a while now,” my colleague said and I shook my head,

" I'm fine, I'm just stressed,” I said,

" Take it easy,” she said and I smiled at her as I turned back to my work.

I had to speak to that woman or else I wouldn't be able to focus.

“ Excuse me, I need to use the restroom," I said as I stood up and walked to the restroom.

I entered the restroom and closed the door behind me as I brought out my phone and dialed the number I took from Hardin's phone.

It rang several times before she picked up.

“ Hello?" she said,

“ Whatever it is you're planning need to stop it," I said,

" Vera, hey, how are you doing?” she said sounding all nice and innocent and I couldn't help but roll my eyes,

“ Drop it Claudia,” I said,

“ Vera, I'm seriously not doing anything wrong, I just need Hardin's help," she said,

" Well, it doesn't matter what you have to say but listen, if you hurt my best friend, I'm going to do something to you that you'll never forget in your life,” I warned,

“ I'm not going to hurt him or cause any trouble, I promise," she said,

“ You better stay out of our way, I won't be nice,”
