Lizzy's POV

"Oh, she is going down," Blake said.

I liked the sound of it too. Melissa had believed she could have my man... Granted he had been Cassie's man, but he was mine by default. I grinned internally. I might not tell him that one.

"So." I pulled back far enough to look at him properly. "How exactly do we make Gemma talk? I don't think she's going to invite us over for tea and confess to drowning me between the scones and jam."

"No," Blake agreed. "But she's already cracking. You said it

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 146

    Epilogue I forced my eyes opened. I had to face this head on.Cassie stood at the foot of my bed. Slightly see-through.I should have screamed. Should have pressed the call button. But all I could do was stare. Why was she here now?"Are you here to take your body back?" I whispered, my heart hammering. "The baby?"Cassie looked at me slowly, then at the sleeping infant in the bassinet. And she laughed, not cruel, but genuinely amused."No," she said, her voice clear and familiar because it was the voice I'd been using for months. "My time on this earth is up. I'm here to deliver a message."I pulled myself up straighter in the bed, wincing at the pain. "What message?""This is your life now, Fawn." She moved closer to the bassinet, looking down at Renee with something like wonder. "I believe you'll make better use of it than I ever did. You've healed Blake. You've done good. That shelter you're running? It's amazing. I'm glad my money is finally doing something worthwhile."She look

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 145

    Epilogue Lizzy's POV The contractions started at 3 AM. I tried to breathe through it, thinking maybe it was another false alarm. But then another one hit before I'd even settled back down. "Blake," I gasped, shaking his shoulder. "Blake, wake up." He was up instantly, those eyes sharp and instantly awake—he had been very aware of my movements the last month or so. "Is it time?" "Either that or I'm dying," I said, trying to laugh through another wave of pain. "Either way, hospital. Now." He shot out of bed and moved to my side, helping me up because the basketball positioned right over my belly had stopped me from being able to do it on my own three weeks ago. Fifteen minutes later, we were in the car. My mother sat in the back seat, having insisted on staying with us the last two weeks "just in case." My father had wanted to come too, but we'd convinced him to wait at home—three people in a delivery room felt like overkill. I wasn't sure I was okay with my dad being there

    Lizzy's POV"Nathan told us," my mother said, leaning forward. "He told us that Cassie Huntington woke up from her coma the day after Fawn died. That she knew things only Fawn would know. That she spoke languages Cassie had never learned. That she went to the women's shelter where Fawn used to volunteer. That she..." Her voice broke completely. "That she might be our daughter. In a different body. Given a second chance for the horrible life she'd had with her husband.""That's insane," I whispered, but the words had no strength behind them. I knew why Nathan had done it, but could they truly believe? This was so against my parents' belief system."We thought so too," my father said. "We wanted to believe it was true, but we couldn't. It was too impossible. Too much to hope for. So we came here to thank the woman who'd given us justice for our daughter. But now..." He looked at me, really looked at me, and I saw recognition dawning in his eyes. "Now I don't think we came here to thank

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 143

    Lizzy's POVA week had passed since the name "Richard Jones" echoed across every news outlet, forever tied to the crime that had shattered so many lives. A trial was set, a public spectacle that seemed to taunt Fawn's memory. Richard was going on trial for murdering Fawn Jones. Gemma was helping the police. She was likely to still go to prison, but not for long, and in minimum security.My heart ached for the person I was, the once happy and vibrant girl who had fought against everything life had thrown at her, only to be dealt a hand that ended in tragedy. Fawn would always be remembered as the battered wife of Richard Jones. The woman he had killed in the end. I didn't see myself as her any longer, just like I wasn't and would never be Cassie. I was reborn. Lizzy Huntington.I was helping Ana in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," I called out, moving through the apartment."Hold on, Lizzy," Blake said, the urgency in his voice cutting through my distracted state.But

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 142

    Lizzy's POVI was sitting on Melissa's desk when she arrived at 8:47 AM, seventeen minutes later than her official start time. Not that anyone would call her on it; she'd earned special privileges working for Blake.Well, not for much longer.She froze when she saw me, her perfectly manicured hand still on the doorknob, her expression shifting from surprise to calculation as quick as a heartbeat. She looked toward the door leading to Blake's office, which had been left open."Cassie," she said, her voice professionally pleasant even as her eyes went cold. "I wasn't expecting you. Does Blake know you're here?""Blake isn't in yet. Not that I need your permission to see him," I said, staying exactly where I was, perched on the edge of her desk like I owned the place. Because technically, through Blake, I did. "I came alone." What was his, and all that shit. But it went both ways.Her gaze flicked past me toward Blake's office door, doubt written all over her face."Alone," she repeated,

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 141

    Lizzy's POV"I want you to understand," I said, still smiling that cold Cassie smile. "I want you to know exactly who destroyed you. Because you're going to spend a very long time thinking about it.""You're fucking insane," Richard said, but his voice shook slightly. "Blake put you up to this. You're his puppet—""Blake loves me," I interrupted. "Something you never understood. Love. You only understood ownership. Control. And when you couldn't control Fawn anymore, you killed her.""I didn't—""You did." I leaned in closer, dropping my voice. "But here's what you still don't understand, Richard. You want to know how I know details only Gemma would know? How I know about the lavender oil, the bracelet, the way Fawn fought?"His eyes narrowed. "Gemma told you—""Gemma didn't tell me about the anniversary dinner you ruined by getting drunk and screaming at Fawn in front of the entire restaurant," I said quietly. "She didn't tell me about the night you pushed Fawn down the stairs and th

    Fawn's POVBecause he dipped his head, closing that last inch between us, and his mouth found mine.The first kiss in the hospital had been different; all shock and adrenaline and pent-up everything. This one landed slower… but it hit just as hard.I made a small sound without meaning to, something

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 6

    Fawn’s POVOf course it was psych time. We’d done the poking, the tapping, the lights-in-the-eyes; now they needed to make sure I wasn’t going to flip a table or start speaking in tongues. Fair, I guess. But who could blame me for being a little freaked out? I was a body snatcher.“As long as you’re

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 5

    Fawn’s POVBy mid-morning, I’d learned three things.One: hospital gowns were designed by people who hated joy. I mean, who likes their ass on show? Unless you were a stripper, that is. I had never seen a stripper, but they did shake their bare asses in men’s faces from what I understand. It’s how t

  • Awakened For Sin   Chapter 4

    Fawn’s POVI waited until the room cleared, until the last nurse checked my vitals and promised to be right back, before carefully swinging my legs over the side of the bed. My muscles responded with surprising strength. Yeah, I was a little shaky, but nothing like what six months of bed rest should
