CHAPTER 028

Mrs. Weldon stood on the path about four feet away.

Cream coat. Handbag on her arm. Hair pinned up just so, not a thing out of place, the same perfectly composed exterior she always carried — except her eyes. Her eyes were doing something I had never once seen them do in all the months I'd spent under her roof.

They were desperate. Wet at the edges. Fixed on my face like she'd been looking for it for a very long time and had only just found it.

    **CHAPTER 31****CASSIAN'S POV**—7 MONTHS LATER—"I'm sorry, Mrs. Weldon."The doctor's voice was gentle. The kind of gentle that people used when they already knew the words coming next were going to land hard, and they wanted to at least cushion the fall a little."The reports are very clear." She set the folder down on the desk in front of her and folded her hands over it. "You're barren, Mrs. Weldon. I'm so sorry."The room went completely still.It was the kind of still that had nothing to do with quiet—because the room wasn't quiet; the air conditioning was humming, someone in the hallway outside was walking past with shoes that clicked against the tile, a phone was ringing somewhere down the corridor—but none of that registered. None of it existed. The only thing that existed was the word the doctor had just put down on the table between them like something that couldn't be taken back.*Barren.*I watched Isolde's face.I couldn't help it. I was sitting two seats to her left,

    ***CHAPTER 030*** I almost said no. The word was right there, sitting at the front of my mouth, ready — because I'd seen what happened the last time I asked about that woman. I'd seen his face close like a door being shut from the inside, and I was not entirely sure I wanted to be responsible for putting that look on his face a second time. But my mouth opened anyway. "Are you sure?" I said. "Because if it's going to hurt you — if it's something you're not ready to talk about — you really don't have to. I'm not asking you to—" "Do you want to know or not," he said. Not unkind. Just direct. The way he said most things. I pressed my lips together. "Yes," I said quietly. "I want to know." He stayed at the door. Didn't come in. Didn't move closer. Just stood there with one hand still resting on the door frame and looked at me with those steady hazel eyes and said nothing for a moment. I waited. "Her name was Sarah," he said. Something in the room shifted. Just slightly. Like t

    CHAPTER 029"I am."The voice came from directly behind me, and I turned so fast I nearly dropped both bags of popcorn.Michael.He'd come back. Wallet in hand, mask still at half-mast, cap still pulled down, walking toward us with that measured, deliberate stride that didn't change regardless of the situation — and his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Weldon with an expression I couldn't read from this angle but that made her take one very small, involuntary step backward.He stopped beside me.Right beside me.And then — before my brain could process what was happening or issue any kind of warning or prepare me in any way whatsoever — his arm came around my waist.Firm. Warm. Settled there like it belonged, like this was something he did regularly, like wrapping his arm around me in the middle of a public park in front of my ex-mother-in-law was a completely normal Tuesday — Wednesday — activity for him.Oh… oh my God.I stopped breathing.Not dramatically. Just quietly. Just completely.And

    CHAPTER 028Mrs. Weldon stood on the path about four feet away.Cream coat. Handbag on her arm. Hair pinned up just so, not a thing out of place, the same perfectly composed exterior she always carried — except her eyes. Her eyes were doing something I had never once seen them do in all the months I'd spent under her roof.They were desperate. Wet at the edges. Fixed on my face like she'd been looking for it for a very long time and had only just found it.Something moved through my chest before I could stop it. Something warm and involuntary that bypassed every wall I'd built since walking out of that mansion and went straight for the part of me that remembered her sitting across from me at breakfast when no one else would. The way she'd touched my shoulder once after a particularly bad dinner. The small, quiet kindnesses she'd offered in a house that had very few of them."Mrs. Weldon," I said, and my voice came out softer than I intended.She exhaled. Long and slow, like she'd been

    **CHAPTER 027**"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I repeated, because he still hadn't answered.Michael looked at me over the mask. "Protecting my privacy.""By looking like you're about to rob someone?""I look like a private individual.""You look like a private individual who's having a crisis." I gestured at the full ensemble — mask pulled up to his nose, cap yanked down to his eyebrows, dark expensive suit that cost probably more than most people's cars. "Mr. Cross, you are a billionaire in a surgical mask at a public park. You are not blending in. You are the opposite of blending in. People are going to film you for being….you know…this weird.""Let them.""They're going to put you on the internet.""I don't use the internet."I stared at him. "That's not — ugh.. that's not how the internet works. You not using it doesn't mean—" I stopped. Pressed my lips together. Took a breath. "Fine. Keep the mask. But if someone films you and it trends I want it on record that I tol

    **CHAPTER 026**I stood in the doorway and stared at him.“What… what are you doing… what are you doing in my room?” I asked.He uncrossed his legs. “Waiting for you.”“Why?”“Because you weren’t here when I came.” He said it simply, like that answered everything. Like showing up in someone’s bedroom and sitting on their bed while they were gone was a perfectly normal sequence of events that required no further explanation.I walked in slowly and closed the door behind me. “Mr. Cross, why are you actually in my room?”He stood up, straightening his jacket. “I’m not going to work today.”I blinked. “What?… why?”“I’m staying, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.” He looked at me directly. “Plus… what I said to you yesterday—the way I spoke to you—that was out of line. I’m making it up to you today.”I stared at him.Michael Cross… the Michael Cross… wants to make it up to me…He literally wants to make it up to me.What the hell was wrong with this man? He literally chan

    **CHAPTER 010** **6:25 AM** I stared at the red numbers glowing on the clock face. What… what… how was this even possible? I asked myself. No. No, no, no, no. I threw off the covers and stumbled out of bed, my legs tangling in the sheets for a moment before I caught myself against the nightstand

    **CHAPTER 009** I heaved a heavy sigh as I remembered what the doctor at the hospital had told me. *"Living with him might be difficult. He has strict routines, strict rules about how his home is kept. He's not cruel, but he's not flexible either. Everything must be perfect, controlled, organized.

    **CHAPTER 008 ** Only the doctor and I were left in the room after Michael left. The silence felt heavy. Oppressive. I stared at the closed door, still trying to process what had just happened, what I'd just agreed to. "Why?" I asked finally, turning to look at the doctor. "Why is he helping me?"

He had to be joking. he was a stranger—a man whose name I didn't even know until a few minutes ago—couldn't possibly be serious about letting me stay with him. The doctor's eyes went wide. She stood up from the bed, turning
