Harmony

Her statement had been written, and she’d opted to talk to the press herself, unlike Damien, who let his father do all the talking. She didn’t care to have someone else read her words for her. Even though both Garrett and Deidre had offered to. She could and would issue it herself.

Though she already knew that Garrett was a little unhappy about it, he’d told her he had set it up, but now he’d put up crowd barriers so they couldn’t get near her, he didn’t want anyone pushing or shoving at her.

She did understand that, and had not complained about it, he was also going to be right there with her, she wasn’t allowed to go down and do it by herself. He’d told her as much.

Though what she wasn’t expecting was for Wyatt, Ryan and Dallas to also all be there, or the six security guards standing along the barriers, she thought that was a bit excessive. Told him so as they walked through the lobby, and she’d seen it. “That’s a bit much don’t you think.” She’d sighed a little on the heavy side.

“No, standard protocol.” He commented without much thought, and she knew from just those

three words, this was normal for him.

He walked her all the way out there and the four of them stood directly behind her. He smiled at her and motioned for her to go ahead. She shook her head a little at them, didn’t really understand why they were all there like that. It would be normal if it was Garrett standing up here, for him to be seen with his CEOS behind him; A show of support from them over

whatever he was announcing.

Harmony turned and looked at the crowd. Only a dozen reports, but they were already firing questions at her. She asked them to be quiet and stated “I’ll make a statement only, then paused for five seconds.

“All I can say on the matter of Damien Blackwell and his family. Is that I was angry and hurt, upset to find out that they would do this to me. Treat me that way for three years. I am actually quite disgusted in the plans they had for me.

“For them to come to me even when I learned the truth, and still ask me to marry their son. Put on a charade like that, for all of you the public to see, and be deceived by. That they would expect me to be Damien’s loyal wife while he was allowed to have Chloe Silverton as his

mistress, the entire time.

“I personally never knew they were like that at all. Over the three years I was in a relationship

with Damien Blackwell, I never once saw this side of any of them. I believed, as did so many of you out there, that they were a nice loving family with good family values.

“I am not only disgusted, but completely disappointed in all the things that I now know they

did to me.” she sighed heavily “And yes, now after looking back at everything, I feel they did do

this to me on purpose. Targeted me because I am an orphan, with no family to turn to for help.

“I do not want to have anything further to do with the Blackwells, or their son. I would like for

them to leave me alone. I don’t believe I have ever said anything else on the matter, this entire

time. I would like them to understand this is my life, and I have now moved on with it.

“I would also like to say thank you to Garrett Owens, for bringing all of this to my attention. I

had no idea about it until that first article came out. Thank him for helping me to deal with

everything the Blackwells threw at me, since that day.

“This is actually how Garrett and I came to be together. Throughout this ordeal I learned that

he is a kind and caring man, so very supportive of someone he had just met, and he told me

he would be there for me throughout all of this, and he has been true to his word, never

wavered once.”

She turned and looked at Garrett, smiled right at him, and he smiled openly at her for all to

see, “I am happy in my new life.” She told him and turned back to the crowd. “That is it, my

statement in full.” She finished.

“Are you going to sue the Blackwells for defamation of character?” one reporter yelled out.

“No,” she responded, “I just want it to all go away, be forgotten.” She answered honestly.

“Do you think the Blackwells got what they deserved? Their company has fallen apart now,”

another called out.

“That is not something I control, and is not up to me, but as a family of lawyers…you’d think

they should know better, but I guess not. Thank you, for listening, I’ll not be answering any

more questions.” She stepped back before they started firing more questions at her about the

Blackwells‘ demise, which was now in progress.

Garrett smiled right at her, and slipped his hand into hers as they walked back inside the

building. “You did well, Harmony.” He told her.

“I was mentally prepared, and I was not going to be dragged into talking about the Blackwells. Hopefully, that is the end of it.” she wanted it to be. She’d honestly had enough.

“I spoke with Gregory today, it should be resolved. He did not like my words.” Garrett nodded.

Harmony looked at him as they got in the elevator, “And they would be?” she asked. She’d told

him she didn’t want him to do anything further.

“To leave you alone, or I’d sick my sister on him, because he threatened to sue me.” he shrugged “I told him I’d have you sue not just Damien and his family, but Damien’s breach of their own company policies. That I would draw it out for years and make him pay all your legal fees when we won as well. He won’t win against me.”

“Garrett…” she frowned.

“I know, it was a threat only, to make them stop. I don’t think he will after our conversation. I also have it on good authority, that all of their company loans and overdrafts, got called in by their banks. They have also lost a lot of clients in their own law firm. They are sinking rapidly, and no one is willing to bail them out.” He shrugged.

“Hopefully Harm, they will now leave you alone, and you and I can just be happy, relaxed and all loved up.” Garret smiled at her “like a new couple should be able to. We can go about our

lives, living and working together.

“Enjoy our pregnancy and date openly, without you worrying about running into that family, or any of Damien’s social circle. They now understand what he did to you, and that it was wrong.”

“I would like that.” She nodded as they got out of the elevator.

“Lets pack up and go home, have dinner.” He stated.

“I am hungry.” She smiled, she did actually want to eat more nowadays, so she just did. It was

also what the doctor wanted of her.

Dinner wasn’t just the two of them, it was his parents and both of his sisters and their husbands. A full family dinner in his parents‘ apartment on the top floor of the apartment building. She could hardly believe what she was seeing; it was definitely a penthouse

apartment.

She got to see photos of a young Garrett, as he grew up, he wasn’t even embarrassed by the pictures that his mother was showing her, just chuckled and told her he was always cute. Garret himself showed her his former bedroom, slid his arms around her from behind and murmured in her ear softly “we should sneak up here and christen that bed. I never did that.”

“Stop it.” she hissed at him.

He’d just chuckled “Not likely to ever happen.” They’d all sat around and eaten in a very nicely furnished dining room, there were servers and a chef back there in that kitchen, only for tonight’s meal, she’d been told. Normally, Deidre and Scott cooked dinner together. It was their

thing.

They’d asked her about her own family, or her mum and dad and Deidre wanted to see

pictures of them. She was betting on Harmony taking after her mother. Harmony chuckled

and shook her head. “After dad actually, mum was American and Dad was Korean. The only thing I really got from mum was her blue eyes.”

Though she didn’t have any pictures of them here, she had many back in her old apartment.

That comment had drawn Garrett’s attention right to her, “We should clean out that place, and

move you here permanently.”

Harmony had thought about it for only a moment, and nodded “Probably should.” She’d stated.

She did like it here inside the gated community. The people she knew from work that were

here always smiled and said hello. She’d also met a few others now too, and they seemed

nice.

Most of the people living here were happy, and she could see why Garrett’s employees were

happy here. She also liked living in that new apartment, a new place for a new beginning. She

was starting over. Though she had not slept in her own apartment since the new year ring–in.

Harmony had a feeling as they left dinner, and Garrett was walking them back to his

apartment. He was looking to have her move in with him. He’d already told her which room

would be for their baby. How many kids he wanted as well. Four of them, two boys and two

girls.

She didn’t mind having more than one, being an only child had been fine with her, but then losing her parents and having no one left, that was not what she wanted for her child.

“We can move your stuff this weekend.” Garrett told her as they walked.

“Alright,” she nodded “I’ve got a small storage area in the apartment building’s basement,

everything down there is already boxed up, so that will be easy to move.”

“You can notify your landlord on Monday.” He smiled right at her, as they walked into his place,

“Alone at last.” He murmured and pulled her into him to kiss her softly. “Shower and bed.”

She laughed “Bed? Do I get to just sleep?”

“Hmm, I’ll rephrase it, shower, s*x and then sleep.” He chuckled.

She shook her head, just knew bed didn’t mean sleep. “Do you ever just want to sleep?”

“Mm,” he tugged her ear a little, “Not really when I have you right next to me, but if you want to just sleep, I will let you. Are you tired sweetheart?”
