'Pain isn't remotely kind in that way. Pain wants its promised pound of flesh, ounce for ounce. It won't settle until you're left with nothing but a flaky shell of who you were. The burn of betrayal and the sting of rejection hurt, but nothing compares to the pain of being empty. Nothing hurts worse than not hurting at all and it makes no sense and perfect sense at the same time and I'm convinced I'm going crazy and I'm actually okay with that.'

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

My take on what I want/ my theory of After 3, written by @imaginator1d! Go check her out! ****I DO NOT OWN THE AFTER SERIES! @IMAGINATOR1D DOES! THIS IS JUST MY OPINION****

This is completely for imaginator1D. Anna had inspired me in so many ways and their was nothing I looked forward to more than her updates! I love all three of the stories in the After series. I have a big imagination I guess, so this is an alternate ending for her stories that I have written! I love you Anna and all you have done!

This story is based off of imaginator1D's story, After. I loved the story so much.. But, what would have happened if Tessa left harry after she found out about the bet. So, I decided to write this. Hope you enjoy.
