**CHAPTER 040**

**ROSA’S POV**

The room was quiet.

The kind of quiet that had weight to it — the specific quiet of a space that had recently held too many people and too much tension and was now empty of both, still carrying the echo of everything that had just happened.

I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling.

My shoulder ached. My hip ached. The baby was moving in that slow rolling way she did when she was settling, like she could feel that th

    **CHAPTER 048****ELENA'S POV**The house felt different when he got back.Not different in any way I could point to specifically — the same marble floors, the same high ceilings, the same perfect order that Michael maintained with the specific thoroughness of someone for whom order was functional. Everything exactly where it was supposed to be. Everything exactly as it had always been.But Michael was different.That was what I was noticing. What I kept noticing, no matter how many times I told myself to stop noticing it and focus on what needed to be done next.I heard that he managed to find Rosa and save her… and that they were both taken to the hospital, but ever since he came home from the hospital he… changed in some way that I didn't have a precise name for. Not visibly — not in any way that someone who didn't know him would catch. He was still controlled. Still measured. Still moving through the house with that deliberate precision he brought to everything.But his eyes were

    **CHAPTER 047****MICHAEL'S POV**The ceiling was white.That was the first thing. White ceiling, bright lights, the antiseptic smell that existed nowhere else on earth and which my brain identified before I was fully conscious — the smell of a place that cleaned itself constantly because it had to, that maintained a specific standard of sterility because the alternative was unacceptable.Hospital.I sat up."Mr. Cross—" A voice immediately. Close. Cautious.I was already moving — swinging my legs over the side of the bed, the hospital gown an immediate problem, the IV in my left arm a secondary one. My chest was tight in a way that was probably medically significant and which I noted as something to address later. My vision was slightly off — not the smoke-induced doubling from the warehouse, something cleaner than that, the specific off-ness of a system that had been through something and was still recalibrating."Mr. Cross, please, you really need to—""Rosa," I said. "Where is she

  • 365 DAYS AS HIS WIFE   THAT WAS EVERYTHING.

    **CHAPTER 046****MICHAEL'S POV**The park was still moving around me.That was the thing that kept registering — how completely ordinary everything continued to be. The vendor at his cart looking over with an uncertain expression, still holding the bag I'd ordered. A child on a bicycle wobbling past the exact spot where the van had been thirty seconds ago. Two women on a bench who had looked up at the sound of Rosa's voice and were now looking at each other trying to decide if what they'd seen was what they thought they'd seen.The world just — continuing.I stood where I was for exactly three seconds.Then I moved.The bracelet.Six months ago I had bought it from a jeweler on the east side and taken it to Drake — a man I had been using for seven years, a man whose particular skill set existed in the space between what was officially sanctioned and what was actually effective.He had fitted a tracker into

  • 365 DAYS AS HIS WIFE   WHAT IF THIS IS IT?

    *CHAPTER 045***ROSA'S POV**Elena had a chair brought to her.She pulled it up directly in front of me with the unhurried ease of someone who had nowhere more important to be — crossed her legs, folded her hands in her lap, and looked at me across the space between us with those dark steady eyes.Like we were about to have a conversation over coffee.Like I wasn't tied to a chair in a concrete warehouse with four armed men standing at the edges of the room."You're not as scared as I expected," she said."I'm terrified," I said. My voice came out steadier than I had any right to. "I'm just not going to let you see it."She smiled. "Fair enough."She looked at the men. One gesture — small, authoritative — and they moved. All four of them, filing toward the far end of the warehouse without a word, without question, disappearing into the shadows at the edges of the space until it was just the two of us and the

    *CHAPTER 044***ROSA'S POV**The last thing I remembered was Michael's face.That gap in the van doors — narrow, closing fast — and his face in it. The expression his eyes portrayed. That completely unguarded, completely undisguised expression that I had never seen on him before and which I held onto as the gap closed and the dark swallowed everything.Then nothing.Then this.I came back slowly.The way you came back when your body had decided to take you somewhere without your permission and was only now returning you — reluctantly, in stages, handing things back one at a time. Sound first… Then the cold — concrete cold, the specific kind that came up through surfaces that had never been warmed by anything and weren't going to start now. Then the weight of my own body, heavy and wrong-positioned, my arms pulled back behind me at an angle that my shoulders were already registering complaints about.Then the dark.

    **CHAPTER 043****ISOLDE'S POV**The house was big.Not Weldon-big — not the kind of big that came from generations of accumulated wealth and the architectural need to demonstrate it. But big in the comfortable deliberate way of someone who had earned money recently and had spent it on space because space was the first thing you bought when you'd grown up without enough of it.Daniel Park had grown up without enough of it.I knew this because he'd told me once, early on, in one of those late night conversations that happened when people were tired enough to say things they usually kept better organized.Two-bedroom apartment. Four siblings. A mother who worked two jobs and came home too tired to cook but always did anyway. He'd told me all of it with the particular openness of someone who had made peace with where they came from and didn't feel the need to hide it.I had listened and filed it away and said the right things.He was standing at the door when my cab pulled up.Already th

    **CHAPTER 035****ISOLDE'S POV**"Are you really going to do this?" I said.My voice came out low, stripped of everything I usually kept in it."Cassian." I stood up from the bed slowly, my eyes still on the file. "Are you really going to listen to them and div

    **CHAPTER 032**I stared at her.The words wouldn't come out.*Doctor, what the hell are you saying.* I turned it over in my head, trying to make it make sense, trying to find the part where it became logical and landed properly. *How the hell would Rosa be pregnant. I never — I always used protect
