Becoming Mrs. Blackwood Chapter 38
~ LENA ~I looked at Nathan’s face and saw the curious frown pulling his brows together. My heart thudded in my chest, waiting for his reaction, for what he was going to say.“Kimberly, darling...”Deborah’s voice broke through my panic. I looked at her. She was staring at me with mild concern. Or at least, what appeared to be concern.“You look like you’ve seen a ghost. Are you feeling alright?”My fingers tightened around the back of a chair as I forced myself to smile and act like there was nothing wrong. Before I could respond, Nathan moved closer to the flowers, his attention fully on them.“Wow…”The word slipped quietly out of his mouth as his eyes moved over the arrangement. The roses, carnations and daisies were beautifully fanned out inside the elegant crystal vase. Somehow, they looked even more attractive than they had been yesterday.“These are some beautiful flowers,” he said, his gaze lingering on them even as he pulled out his chair and sat down. “Someone’s making quit

~ LENA ~I froze. Every thought in my head vanished at once.For one long, terrible second, all I could do was stare. I stared at both of them wondering if I was dreaming. Was this some kind of joke? A prank? Or something else entirely that I couldn’t understandNathan and Ashley were both asleep in the same bed. Ashley lay curled against his side, her head resting on his chest beneath his chin. One of her arms was draped across his stomach, while Nathan’s arm rested around her shoulders.The sight was so intimate it made something inside me recoil.They looked… I swallowed hard. They looked like a couple. Comfortable. Too comfortable. Like two people who had fallen asleep in each other’s arms countless times before.The thought hit me so hard that I stumbled back a step.No. No, this couldn’t be. I shook my head against what my mind was telling me. Nathan wasn’t like that. Everything I knew about him screamed that he wasn’t that sort of man. He would never have anything intimate to d

~ LENA ~I watched Ashley covertly over the dinner table as she reached for her fork. Her movements were slow, careful. She made even the simple act of lifting her glass of water appear strenuous, as though lifting it required more strength than she possessed.Dressed in a soft, cream sweater, she looked every bit the fragile patient recovering from a serious illness. Her dark hair fell softly around her shoulders, and her complexion still carried just enough paleness to sell the performance.If I hadn’t overheard that conversation upstairs earlier, I probably would have felt sorry for her.Now all I saw was an actress.Deborah sat next to her, looking every bit as polished and composed as she had been all day.Mother and daughter. Conspirators.Conversation flowed around the table while I pretended to listen and contributed whenever necessary, acting as though everything was normal. But my attention remained mostly on Ashley. Now that the veil had fallen, it was easy to spot the pret

~ LENA ~I entered the bedroom and closed the door behind me. The soft click of the lock sounded loud in my ears.For several seconds, I stood there with my back pressed against the door, staring at nothing.My body was still shaking, my mind still reeling from what I’d just heard.The conversation replayed itself over and over again in my head.“You were supposed to fake it! Fake being sick! Not send yourself to the hospital!”“It worked, didn’t it?”“Very soon, he’s going to be completely mine.”A shiver rippled through me.What kind of woman deliberately makes herself sick?A dangerous one. A desperate one. A woman willing to do anything to get what she wanted.And Ashley wanted Nathan. She’d always wanted him, ever since they were kids.Not in the harmless, childish way Rosa had described. Not in the way a younger sister admired an older brother. No. This was something darker. Something uglier.A part of me had always wondered if I was imagining things. Now I knew I wasn’t. Every

~ LENA ~For the past few minutes, I’d been telling myself it was all in my head. Now I wasn’t so sure anymore.The footsteps returned. They were closer this time. Much closer. They matched my pace, then quickened as the sound seemed to rush toward me, closing the distance.My heart leapt into my throat as I whirled around. This time, someone was standing behind me.“Oh my God, I’m sorry!”The woman immediately apologized. Her expression filled with concern as she saw how frightened I was. “I’m so sorry,” she repeated.I pressed a hand against my chest, trying to calm the frantic pounding of my heart. “It’s okay,” I said with a little smile, relieved that it wasn’t a stalker or the mystery man who’d sent flowers.“I didn’t mean to startle you,” she continued. “I was just out for my morning walk when I spotted you walking through the neighborhood.” She grinned, then paused. A sheepish smile crossed her face. The look on my face must have told her I was struggling to place her.“Vivie

~ LENA ~I stood in the middle of the bedroom, arms crossed over my chest as I stared at the flowers I’d abandoned on the bed. Just minutes ago, I was holding them, admiring them. Now I stared at the bouquet with growing unease, as if it was something sinister looking at me.The flowers were breathtaking. Their delicate fragrance drifted through the room, and their soft, colorful petals brightened the pale bedding. But all I could think about was the note that had been hidden inside and the stranger who had sent it.Slowly, I looked down at it, still clutched in my hand, reading it for the umpteenth time.YOU’RE STILL AS BEAUTIFUL AS I REMEMBERA shiver ran through me.The message wasn’t threatening. It sounded romantic. Affectionate. Familiar. And that was what bothered me.It seemed whoever had written it knew Kimberly. The Kimberly who had existed before Nathan.Who could it be? An ex-boyfriend?But if that was the case, then why send flowers now?Why send them here?And why not l

~ LENA ~My whole body shivered having Nathan so close in such an intimate position.I didn’t know how he did it. But every time he looked into my eyes with that darkened look that told me exactly what he wanted, it made my breath catch and my heart beat a little faster.His silence worsened it, as

~ LENA ~The first thing that greeted me when I opened the kitchen door was the delicious aroma of breakfast.The kitchen was huge, almost the size of a small apartment. Soft morning light filtered through the windows, touching the wide marble counters and stainless steel appliances lining the wall
Becoming Mrs. Blackwood Chapter 18
~ LENA ~I woke slowly to the warmth of the morning sun brushing against my eyelids. At first, it felt like a dream—warm, gentle, and quiet. The kind of morning where everything seemed wrapped in a calm I hadn’t felt in a long time.For a brief moment, I lingered in that tranquility, caught somewhe

~ NATHAN ~When my eyes opened the next morning, she was still asleep, curled up against me with her arm draped over my waist. Her cheek rested on my chest like that was where it had always belonged.For a moment, I didn’t move. I lay there, savoring the sweet warmth of her body as she slept peacef
