Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 65

Probably from the shocked expression on my face, Harry pulls me closer to him and stares at me with questioning eyes.

"Matt?" I ask when he takes a moment to think and then the same shocked expression appears on his face too. Except when I start to wonder what the hell is going on, he becomes angry.

"Yes. Happy birthday Alex." Matt says and I don't know what to say. What do you say to an ex that you cheated on and then he tried to slap you but your soon-to-be boyfriend stepped in?

"Didn't I tell you to never ever talk to her again you fucking prick?" Harry decides for me as he yells into the receiver and puts the phone on speaker.

"Lets not do this. I saw the video, I know how you treat her!" Matt fires back. Harry only seems to be more annoyed with the fact that Matt's voice is calm when he is burning with anger.

"I will show you how you fucking tried to treat her by smashing your fucking face in!" Harry yells but I try to calm him down by wrapping my arms around his torso. He is right. But this is not the way to do it.

"Matt! Why are you calling me?" I ask, trying to mimic the tone of annoyance in Harry's voice but fail miserably. It sounds like I am asking for help.

"I wanted to celebrate your birthday. I went by to your house but it was empty. The door wide open. I left you a gift there-" Harry seems to have had enough of this as he grabs the phone from my hand and puts it right beside his lips.

"She doesn't need any gifts. I give her everything she needs." He says and closes the phone. In the mayhem, I forgot what he mentioned about the house.

"The house is empty? We got robbed!" I say as my hands go to my hair as I stare at the pile of problems growing, all needing more and more money. What the fuck am I doing? I need go and work. Fuck, I need 20 thousand dollars for the hospital...

"Calm down. Lex." Harry says as he separates my hands from my head and locks eyes with me.

"You moved. Thats why your stuff isn't there." He says with calm eyes and a sweet tone. Am I going crazy now? Wonder how much being crazy would cost me!

"I didn't-" I say but Harry grins with a sweet smile and pulls me to his chest as if I'm a child, trying to figure out a small math problem.

"That place was dangerous. I moved you. I bought you a house here in SoHo so you would be close to me." He says as he pulls me to his chest but I push him away immediately.

"You did what?" I ask, looking at him with wild eyes.

"You got ambushed by Tilly's devil sister and Avery almost got the life knocked out of him. You can't possibly think I was gonna let you live there baby." He says as if its the most appropriate course of action.

"We could have bought a new door." I say, knowing I probably won't even be able to change the locks. I'm in so much debt, its miserable.

"Don't you like the idea of being close to me? You are just down the street and I know how much you like the houses-" he starts to ramble when I gasp again.

"You bought a house here. On this street?" I ask and he nods with wide eyes as if I grew a third eye.

"You paid millions of dollars to this house. You got me one too?" I ask. He paid more than four million for this house. Did he pay that much for the house he got me?

"Of course." He says and I feel the need to pinch myself to wake up from this dream.

"This was not exactly the way I wanted you to find out but yeah... Happy birthday." He says with a broken smile. He doesn't seem like he expected me to lash out. I mean how could I not?
