Chapter: OUR BLURY LINES
AVA POV. “Well that went great.” “Yeah, it did.” I smile back weakly at Matthew, making sure to let the lie feel impossibly real. No, it didn’t go at all well, nothing about the last forty five minutes went well because not only did he keep asking the doctor to guess my baby’s gender, he shouted at her too, accusing her of not doing her job well. And when I begged him to stop, he blamed it on his nerves. Sighing, I rub my temple for the umpeth time as we exist the hospital and into the parking lot. I hated how icky I was feeling all over today. And for some reason, Mathew seemed to just keep that feeling burning. Why the hell couldn’t he just act like a normal man for once. Like..Serge.. “You good?” He asked, coming to a stop before turning to look at me. That made me stop in my tracks. “I am. I just wanna get home and rest.” I said, keeping my eyes everywhere else but him. “Are you sure? I mean I know— “Matthew, can we just go home. Please.” All this

Chapter: A CLINICAL STRANGER.
AVA POV. “Matthew, are you sure you’re okay?” He has been shaking his legs nervously ever since we got to the clinic and honestly, it’s starting to annoy me a little bit. “You know, if hospitals make you feel nauseous, you can just wait in the car.” “Am fine Ava, okay?” His voice is much sharper this time and it takes me a minute to realize how rude he is getting. “Whatever. Suit yourself.” I say and stand up to leave. He has been acting antsy ever since Leo left the house last night and how we much I asked him what the problem was, all he said way am okay, yet clearly we wasn’t. But if he wanted to start being rude and take it out on me, then i sure as would be damned to be present for that. Spotting an empty chair, I ignore his frail voice calling me out as I head to sit somewhere far from him. He had insisted to having a check up done for the baby and however much I told him k already got it done, he couldn’t stop asking to take it again. So that explains w

Chapter: SOLOKOV ARTKINS.
LEO POV ( A FEW HOURS EARLIER) The whiskey in this bottle tasted like shit. Not that I cared. I lifted the glass anyway and swallowed the rest, enjoying the burn even though it did nothing to quiet my thoughts. Nothing. Not after what I had learned tonight. Not after the reading through those files over and over and over again. The name rang in my head over and over again, making me want to pull my hair out. Solokov Artkins.. I stared at the empty glass before pushing it away. The bartender asked if I wanted another. But I shook my head and instead stood. My legs felt heavier than usual as I made my way out of the bar, leaving blaring music behind me with each step I toke further. As soon as I stepped outside, cool night air slapped my face, making me groan a little. Normally it would have helped but not tonight. Tonight it didn’t because every thought led back to the same person. Matthew. Matthew. Matthew. The man I trusted more than a

Chapter: LATE NIGHT ERRANDS.
AVA POV A strange sound pulled me from sleep and I stared up at the dark ceiling in the room. At first, I thought I was dreaming. I shifted beneath my blanket and squeezed my eyes shut, hoping whatever had disturbed me would simply disappear. Instead, another noise echoed through the apartment. It was a muffled voice. Then another. My brows furrowed and slowly reopened my eyes. The room was dark. The digital clock on my bedside table glowed softly. 3:57 a.m. I groaned. Who on earth was making noise at four in the morning? Still half asleep, I reached for my phone and checked the time again. Nope. Definitely not a nightmare. Another sound drifted through the apartment. This one louder. They seemed like panicked voices and that had my stomach tightened in anticipation. Matthew? Pushing aside the blanket, I slipped my feet into my slippers and reached for the robe hanging beside the bed. The apartment was cool as I stepped into the hallway.

Chapter: ABIGAIL
ABBY POV I looked at the clock above the fireplace for what felt like the hundredth time. 2:57 a.m. It was just three minutes to three. And he still wasn’t home. A sigh escaped me as I pulled the blanket tighter around my shoulders. The television had long gone to muted mode even with Brooklyn None-nine still playing and my mint tea I’d made hours ago was now getting cold. Even the fire in the fireplace was slowly dying. Yet I couldn’t find it in me to go to bed so remained on the couch. Waiting. Lately, things between us had been difficult. Not terrible or bad enough for our son or anyone else to notice. Just, different. He had become distant. Again. Every time something happened at work, he retreated further into himself.

Chapter: THIS TIME.
AVA POV “You can’t be serious.” My voice cracked the moment the words left my mouth. And I hated it. I hated how weak I sounded. How shaken and how scared all this made me feel. Yet none of that seemed to affect Serge as he simply stood there staring at me. Expressionless. As though he had just proposed a business merger instead of marriage. As though asking me to marry him was the most reasonable thing in the world. I shook my head. A bitter laugh escaped me. “No.” His jaw tightened. “Ava—” “No, listen to me.” For once, I didn’t let him interrupt. “I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.” His eyes darkened. “You don’t get to decide what happens next.” “I wasn’t deciding—” “Weren’t you?” The question came out sharper than I intended. My ches
