Awakened For Sin Chapter 59
Fawn’s POV“Fuck."I watched as he slammed his hand against the steering wheel."The only reason I’m not leaving you to the mess you created back there is because I saw the look on your face when he grabbed your wrist. You’re scared of him, but you’re fucking putting yourself in his path, and I can’t understand why. Did he do something to you before the accident?”I hoped Richard hadn’t been as observant as Blake, because he could wonder the same thing. I wanted to tell Blake. I really did. But that would mean telling him everything, including that his wife was dead and I was hijacking her body. He could never understand that. I was the one living it, and I was still trying to wrap my head around it. How could he possibly believe me? It just sounded crazy.So instead, I asked my own question.“Why did you turn up at the restaurant? I was sure you wouldn’t once the photos appeared in the media—” I stopped talking abruptly, realizing what I had let slip.And he was too smart to miss it.

Fawn’s POV"Blake," I said softly, my heart hammering in my chest. I hadn't expected him to show up, though I should have realized he would. "This isn't—""Don't talk. I don't want to hear it," he cut me off, his voice deadly quiet. He turned to Richard. "Jones."The tension between the two men crackled like electricity. Richard straightened, attempting to recover his composure. Was it me, or did he try to look taller? Was he competing with Blake in that as well? There were three inches' difference in their height, but didn't Richard realize that it wasn't just Blake's height that made him imposing—it was the man himself?"Huntington," he said, false cordiality dripping from his voice. "Your wife and I were just having dinner.""Were you." It wasn't a question. Blake's gaze never left Richard's face. "Strange choice, considering I explicitly warned her to stay away from you.""I don't need your permission, Blake," I said, acutely aware of how this entire tableau must look to the onloo

The waiter chose that moment to arrive with our main meals, giving me a minute."Is that a problem?" I trailed my finger along the edge of my wine glass. "Art should be shared, not hidden away in some private collection. And it's just a loan. It's not the first time I have done so."Richard's eyes narrowed slightly. "Interesting that you'd choose to support your soon-to-be ex-husband's business dealings while claiming the marriage is over."I shrugged. "How am I supporting him? This is for my benefit. I appreciate beautiful things being displayed properly. The casino will make an excellent backdrop for that particular piece, increasing its value. I never gave any stipulations on loaning the piece. If you won the bid, it would still be on loan to the casino. If you like to think about business, it's my business by increasing my net wealth.""You're playing a dangerous game, Cassandra," he said once we were alone again. "Helping Huntington win projects against me, yet dining with me beh

Fawn’s POVRichard's knuckles whitened around his glass. "That's ridiculous. Fawn wasn't afraid of me. We had a normal marriage until—""Until you moved your mistress into your marital bed?" I finished. "Hardly what I'd call normal."His eyes darkened. "You seem to know a lot about our private affairs."I leaned forward, dropping my voice. "Fawn told me everything. She needed someone to talk to, someone who would listen. Someone who would know the truth if anything happened to her."Richard's face remained impassive, but I could see the calculation behind his eyes, the mental inventory of what Fawn might have revealed."Her death was a tragic accident," he said, each word carefully measured."Was it?" I smiled, enjoying his discomfort."What exactly are you implying?" Richard's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper.Before I could answer, my phone vibrated in my clutch. I reached for it, making a show of checking the screen. A text from Tom: "Photos live. Trending already."Perfect tim

Fawn's POVThe taxi slowed to a stop in front of Marconi's, its neon sign casting a blue glow across the rain-slicked sidewalk. I smoothed a hand over my black dress, mentally rechecking everything. Phone silenced but accessible and ready to record should anything get interesting. Cash for the cab tucked in my clutch. Makeup perfect. Expression carefully calibrated between boredom and intrigue.I paid the driver and stepped out onto the pavement, my heels not slipping against the wet concrete, thank God. The night air felt electric against my skin, or maybe that was just the adrenaline of walking willingly toward my murderer.Through the restaurant's windows, I spotted him immediately. Richard Jones stood at the far end of the bar, nursing what looked like a whiskey, checking his watch with the impatient energy of a man unused to waiting for anyone. But I had timed my arrival to be a few minutes late.In the shadow of a parked car across the street, I caught the subtle movement of a c

Blake's POVMy jaw tightened. "The second one.""Jesus Christ, Blake." Ford's voice was fully alert now. "After everything she put you through? After you spent months waiting for her to die so you could move on? What the hell were you thinking?"That was the problem. I hadn't been thinking. Not with my brain, anyway."I wasn't," I admitted, staring at the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows. "We went to the casino bid announcement last night. She wore this fucking red dress that looked painted on. She was talking to Richard Jones, of all people, and I just—""Got jealous," Ford finished, his tone a mixture of disbelief and judgment. "Like clockwork. She's still playing you, man. She has always been able to tie you in knots.""It wasn't like that," I said, though I couldn't be sure. "She's different. I told you before." If anything, he jealous had been more… acute."And I told you it's an act. People don't change that fundamentally, Blake. Especially not Cassie."I rubbed

Fawn’s POVRight on time, my new nurse arrived. Margaret was in her fifties at a guess, built like she could bench press a small car without breaking a sweat, and—most importantly, looked like she would have zero interest in how square Blake’s jawline was.“Call me Maggie,” she said, setting down a

Blake’s POV“No, I’m just not sugar-coating it. Wear your rose-tinted glasses if you want to,” she said. “You don’t want to be the guy who dumps his wife after she wakes up. I get it. Optics. Public image. All that bullshit. It would make you look like a shit person. But don’t pretend this is about

Blake’s POVBy the time the car slid into my space under the Huntington building, I rehearsed in my head what I was going to say. I’d already lied to myself three times that this was going to be a simple, adult conversation.But I knew it wouldn’t be.The lift doors opened onto my floor and there s

Blake’s POV“You admitted you pushed it yesterday,” I said. “I’m not an idiot. You stayed in your room. Doesn’t take a genius to figure how.”She blew on her tea. “You say that like it’s a bad thing. I don’t plan on spending my second chance sitting down on my ass… I’m going to make the most of thi
