After Three Years: She Wakes Up Chapter 60
His lips were a warm, firm pressure against my own. His eyes were open slits, enough to look closed from a distance, but open enough to watch me watching him right back. “What are you doing?” hissed, pulling my head back as I struggled against his steel-tight grip. “How is this going to help?!” But Dr. Clark didn’t budge. “If you want to save your reputation and his, trust me.” Trust him? After this? “Are you kidding me I…” Taking the opportunity my open, arguing mouth presented him with, Andrew seized my mouth with his, deepening the kiss. My body responded to the unexpected embrace and despite myself, I found myself leaning into him, welcoming his touch. I’ve been so stressed, so tense, that this felt like a much needed release, one I couldn’t get from Misha. A release I shouldn’t be getting from Andrew either. He’s not even my friend–he’s just my annoying, arrogant colleague. Besides, he has a beautiful girlfriend. Just as the first wave of guilt washed over me, everything sh

A quick train ride to Columbia had me sitting in a booth waiting for a serving of greasy hamburgers and fries to be placed in front of me. Allison, who had written to confirm that she was on her way, was running late from a meeting she had to attend. Her company, Starbright Productions, has been dealing with complicated legal issues after a story recently broke about unethical contract practices–something about leaked contracts and poached talent. Right now, the issue is more of a PR nightmare than anything else, but it has already begun affecting sales. She explained this to me over the phone in a quick rush of words, but I had a hard time following--finance has never been my strong suit. She needed someone who not only knew her, but could understand what she’s going through. And that, was where I hoped Josh would come in. We both met Josh at Columbia through shared classes. Like Allison, he had a sharp financial mind, and if he hadn’t pursued his career as a professional ath

Even though I had said it was a bad idea, even after I explained my thinking and he agreed to give me time to think, Misha decided to take things into his own hands and started the adoption process for an infant.And he called it a ‘surprise’--Like he was giving me a present. Did he expect me to feel happy about his attempt to trap me, and some sweet, innocent child, in a situation that would just make everyone miserable. Was he really so desperate to keep me anchored to him? Why? He already has a baby on the way. Why is he clinging to me so tightly? The paperwork was creasing as I clenched the paper with my fists. This contract was more like a small book, but I insisted on reading over it carefully. I needed to know what game Misha was playing.Because that's what this is--a game. Either Misha, or Julia, or possibly both of them was trying to play me and I wasn't signing a goddamned thing.So sitting there, I carefully read each clause of the contract trying to find the hidden catc

When I reached my quiet, now empty penthouse, the silence was peaceful, enhanced by the knowledge that nobody would disturb me. I wouldn’t need to lock myself in the bedroom tonight, because Misha would be blessedly absent for the next full week. Before I woke up to his nonsense, I’d have been sad, maybe even a bit heartbroken. Tonight, I simply felt relieved. As I opened the door, my body shook with the need for food and sleep. Finally free to let my guard down, I stumbled inside, falling over the doorway, and barely closing the door before I landed hard on my knees on the smooth, cool tiles of my entryway. It hurt, but so did everything else as I took a moment to catch my breath. Sitting there on the cold floor, I scanned the room. The kitchen was a mess, evidence of a meal having been made and enjoyed, the dishes still in the sink, crumbs scattered on the counter. Two empty wine glasses, one red with residue from Misha’s favorite cabernet, the other half full of sparkling a

Who would try to hurt me? Not just hurt me, possibly kill me? I can think of a handful of people who don’t like me, might even want to see less of me, but taking it to the point of causing me bodily harm–Nobody. As much as Julia doesn’t like me, she isn’t the kind of person to want to see me poisoned–if she did, she could have done so by now.I told the officer as much and she shrugged, writing something in her notebook before handing me her card. “Call the station if you think of anything. We’ll keep this case open for now.” “Thank you,” I shook the officer’s hand. “I’ll contact you if anything comes up regarding this incident.” An hour later, once the doctors were satisfied with my hydration level, I was released into Dr. Clark’s care. Taking his job seriously, he tucked me into a wheelchair, covering me from shoulder to knee with hospital blankets, before wheeling me like a well-packaged vase. “You don’t have to do this,” I insisted as he rolled me to a nearby bench. “I’m m

[Ariana]For the second time in the last week, I woke up in a hospital bed. At least this time it wasn’t my own fault. As I open my eyes, I groan, turning to the side. And that's when I see him--A tall man hunched in a small chair, his blonde curls falling forward as he leaned over his hands. “Dr…Dr. Clark?”At the sound of his name he looked up, and when his gray-eyed gaze met mine, the faintest smile tugged the corner of his lips. “Welcome back, Ariana. Thank goodness you’re okay.”“Dr. Clark, not that I’m not glad to see you,” grimacing, I attempted to sit up. “But what are you doing here?” His smile twisted into a smirk. “Saving you. I…” he paused, his brief flash of amusement falling from his eyes as he said. “I am so sorry.” “Why would you be sorry?” my eyebrows scrunched as I gazed at this confusing man. “I handed you the soup,” he interrupted me. “I didn’t know, Ariana.” He leaned forward, taking my hand and pressing it between his palms. “I..I hope you know I would neve
