Chapter: Chapter 5: The Truth has TeethIsadora's POVI stared at the ceiling for a long time after everyone left. The room smelled like antiseptic and bad decisions.‘Douglas.’ The same blood. The same name. The man I had spent five years searching for was the stepbrother of the man who had spent five years destroying me.I pressed my hands over my face and let the sob come. Ugly and raw and completely beyond caring who heard it.The door suddenly opened. "GET OUT." My voice cracked like a whip. "I swear to God Roman if you take one more step into this room I will…""Okay wow." Mara's voice."Good morning to you too."I dropped my hands.She stood in the doorway, hair pulled back, holding two cups of terrible hospital coffee and looking at me like I had personally offended her by almost dying."You scared me like that and you're in here yelling at doors." She crossed the room and pressed one cup into my hands. "Did Roman come in here?"I didn't answer.Her eyes narrowed. "Dora.""He came." My voice was hollow."Sorry love."

Chapter: Chapter 4: Stone CityDamien's POVGetting an emergency surgical call In the middle of a pristine dinner date I had no business being was the best thing that could ever happen."Spinal compression. Critical. Stone City." His voice was tight. "She won't make it without you."Stone City. The same place I had sworn never to step my leg into after leaving for three years."Book me the next flight." I said anyway. Because saving lives always beats old wounds. That was the only rule I had never broken.Enough time to let my clingy ex who cheated but still roaming around me. The moment the car pulled into Stone City the first thing that hit me was exactly why I had left. The air. The skyline. Even the way the light fell across the buildings felt like a hand around my throat.I inhaled slowly. Let it settle. I felt it sit in my chest like something rotting. I wanted to leave already. I was here for four minutes.★★Dragging my exhausted body from the surgical room I was almost in my head the whole time. Six strai

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Man I Never ForgotIsadora's POVSqueezing my hands into a tight fist, the only thing I felt right now was disgust and irritation. No, I didn't see that coming. My fate, my fucking life was on Alice. Grabbing my bag I stormed out of the courtroom, ignoring whatever came next, the constant screaming of my name. I was stupid, I have been stupid to have thought it was going to be an easy pizzy shit to leave the fucking bastard.I slammed my legs in the pedals the moment I got to the car.My mind was a whirlwind, but somehow the memories of the past haunted me. That night, five years ago. A hotel bar. A stranger with dark eyes who looked at me like I was something worth seeing. One night I had never been able to explain or erase or stop thinking about.My mind was somewhere else entirely, the moment at the hospital waiting room where I had sat alone and stared at a pregnancy test and understood for the first time what it meant to be completely on your own.My hands were shaking so badly. Tears streaming do

Chapter: Chapter 2: The First CutIsadora's POVFelt a chill run through my spine the moment Roman came out. "Go upstairs, to my room." Mara's voice was barely above a whisper, her hands gripping my shoulders. "Do not come out. Do not make a sound.""Mara….""Isadora." Her eyes were steady. Fierce. "Just fucking go up."I nodded and moved. Her bedroom door clicked shut behind me just as the banging started downstairs."MARA. OPEN THIS DOOR." Roman yelled, I couldn’t hear his voice downstairs. I pressed my back against the wall, sliding down until I was sitting on the floor, pulling my knees to my chest. My heart was beating so loudly that I was convinced he could hear it through the walls."What do you want, Roman?" Mara's voice floated up, sharp and unlike, as if she wasn't terrified like this was just another Tuesday."You know what I want. Let me in.""This is my private residence. You have no right…""I said let me IN…""Touch my door one more time and I will have the cops here so fast you won't have time to blin

Chapter: Chapter 1: Until You Die?Isadora's POVI mistook being wanted for being loved. It's an easy mistake when you've never had either.’_________________________________________“Argh….please stop Roman.”Glass shattered against the wall just inches from my head, pieces of it splashed on my body.Roman didn't stop..not at all. Gripping more glass cups, the more I tried to run the more they piece into my skin.“Please, I don't know what you're talking about…”“Who the fuck did you have coffee with…”“He's just a collaborator, Roman, I swear.” covered in tears and sweat I was desperate to fly from here. I threw my hands over my head, covering my face instinctively. "Don't lie to me." His voice was too calm. That was always the scariest part. Not the shouting. The calm. He rolled up his sleeves slowly, deliberately, like a man with all the time in the world.He stepped closer, I immediately moved back. It was a hustle but I did, having no choice I couldn't even afford to die. I have a son. He came closer just moment
