Three days later, Anna was feeling much better already. Her nausea hadn’t recurred in these last two days, and she had believed that it was either something she ate or just the shock from her gory memories. Everything was fine, and she had almost forgotten the existence of the outside world. In the past few days, Liam hadn’t pressured her to do anything she didn’t want to. She had done everything by her own rules.

What surprised her was that this house had been furnished according to her preferences. Every single thing was on point. Nothing less. Some of the details were things she had only dreamed of, while others were the screenshots she took from Instagram and showed to Liam during casual chats. She never thought he paid attention to that, never mind remembering it. His attention to detail warmed her heart.

He behaved a lot differently than in the past, showering her with all the attention in the world. She really hoped this was genuine and it wasn’t just a way to get her back or m

    The knock came days later, just after noon; three sharp raps, quick and precise, cutting through the muffled hum of the summer air. The sound reverberated off the walls, steady as a heartbeat he didn’t trust.Liam sat behind his desk, the coffee beside him long gone cold, its bitter scent curling faintly upward. Dust motes drifted in the shaft of sunlight spilling across the papers he hadn’t touched in an hour. His fingers curled against the wood, the edge biting into his palm.He didn’t need to see the door to know.The weight in the air shifted, like the moment before a storm breaks, just as the handle turned. The hinges gave a slow, deliberate groan, and the thin slice of darkness beyond the threshold seemed to breathe toward him.“Mr. Parker,” the man said as he stepped inside. Daniel Shore was a lean, well-dressed, unassuming man, the kind of man who never drew attention until he needed to. He’d been Liam’s investigator for four years. Loyal. Discreet. And now… carrying the one t

    The garden was mostly the same.A little more overgrown than she remembered; the hedges fuller, and the stone path edged with wild little flowers that hadn’t been there before. But the lavender still lined the walkway, the old iron bench beneath the olive tree still waited near the center, and the silence still wrapped around the place like a forgotten lullaby.Anna stepped onto the stone path slowly with her arms crossed against her body. The air smelled like sun-warmed herbs and fresh earth, and for the first time since stepping back into the house, she let herself really breathe.She hadn’t been out here since that day. The day she washed her tear-streaked face near the fountain, shouted something she barely remembered, and walked out of Liam’s life like she meant it. And now here she was: pregnant, unsure, standing in the very place where everything had started unraveling.Her fingers drifted over the sprigs of rosemary as she walked past. The garden had always been hers more than

    The early morning lay draped in a soft hush, the world still rubbing the sleep from its eyes. A pale wash of gold bled slowly across the horizon, brushing the rooftops and treetops with gentle light. Cool air carried the scent of damp earth and faint blooms, each breath crisp enough to wake the senses.Somewhere in the distance, a lone bird called out, its song the only thread in the quiet, while dew clung to leaves like scattered beads of glass. The house woke slowly, starting with muted footsteps in distant halls and later, the distant clink of breakfast being set in the sunroom. Curtains rippled gently where the windows were cracked open to the cool morning breeze.Anna stood barefoot by the window in Liam’s bedroom, wrapped in his robe, and one hand resting absently on the curve of her belly. Her gaze drifted out toward the gardens: familiar, yet altered by absence. She hadn’t been back in this room, this house, since the day she left.That day had left the walls quieter, the staf

    The car eased to a stop in front of the estate gates, the familiar silhouette of the manor rising behind trimmed hedges and pale stone pillars. Liam sat still in the passenger seat, his hand curled loosely at the edge of his sling, his gaze pinned to the house that had shaped and broken so much.Beside him, Anna remained quiet, her face showing a bit of hesitation. “I’m not sure if I should be welcoming you home or the other way around,” she murmured, brushing her fingers gently against his knee. “But it’s time.” She gave his knee a small, reassuring touch before opening her door.By the time Liam stepped out, a few figures were already waiting under the awning of the main entrance. His grandmother stood with her back straight and her fingers curled around the top of her cane, flanked by one of the uniformed staff. Her silver-gray hair was swept into a neat bun, and her expression was unreadable.Beside her, his mother sat quietly in her wheelchair, wrapped in a soft gray shawl that m

    The orange light of the setting sun filtered through the hospital blinds, casting long shadows in the room. After a good shower and some thorough housekeeping, the room was cleaner than it had ever been: new sheets, new clothes, his discharge papers tucked into a navy folder on the tray table, and Anna’s cardigan draped loosely over the back of a chair.Liam sat at the edge of the mattress, his arm resting in a better-quality sling, and his expression unreadable. There was a stiffness to the way he breathed, like his body was finally registering how exhausted it was. Anna hovered nearby, folding small things into a duffel bag, ready for departure. Ethan would be here any minute now.A soft knock caught their attention before the door swung open to reveal Ethan, dressed in slate-gray slacks and a fitted black shirt. He looked the same as always: sleek, composed, and just a little too alert for a man who claimed to ‘just assist’. Behind him, a hospital orderly wheeled in a chair, silent

    Anna reached for his face, her fingers threading into his damp hair as she leaned down and crashed her lips on his. His lips parted beneath hers, the kiss deepening with quiet hunger. Her breath caught when his tongue slid against hers, tasting her like he had all the time in the world, because he did. He had a minimum of four weeks of doing nothing but recovery. Steam curled around them, but it was his mouth that burned.She pulled back from the kiss, her lips still tingling, and her breath shallow. Without a word, she reached for the soap again and knelt between his legs. Her hands smoothed over his thighs, the lather trailing down to his knees, then back up. Liam tensed under her touch, his breath hitching as she worked lower.She shifted her focus to his shins, her soapy fingers gliding over his calves, then up his thighs, tracing the muscles with care. The heat of the water, the slickness of her touch, and the closeness of her bare skin overwhelmed him in every wa
