She flinched, her fingers digging even on the strap of her handbag. “I have done everything I can to help you.” “That’s because you fucking owe me!” I leaned forward, fixing her with a hard stare. “If you can’t even do that much, then what exactly are you useful for?” Her lips pressed into a thin line. “Honey, this has already gone too far.” “Then we have no choice but to keep going.” She rose from the bed and fussed with the crease of her trousers, her fingers lingering over the fabric. When she looked at me again, her composure seemed to be back, but the tension around her mouth gave her away. “You cannot spend the rest of your life hiding in this hospital.” “I’m not planning to.” “Then focus on your recovery. Focus on getting your strength back. Just walk again. That’s what matters right now.” “I know what matters.” “Do you?” Her voice sharpened. “Because all you seem to think about is Kade.” A quiet laugh escaped me. “He’s back on the ice, playing my positio

“She walked away from me. After everything. After six fucking years!” Her eyes softened as she watched me “She was hurt, Luca.” “Because of Kade.” “Because of what happened between the three of you. You weren't blameless, darling. Neither was I.” “Don’t fucking start with me.” “Darling, I’m only trying to…” “I said don’t.” My voice cut through the room. I watched her lips press into a thin line, her eyes searching my face for some sign that I’d calm down. I wasn’t going to. Kade’s name had a way of finding its way into everything. Every conversation, every fucking argument. Even now, when I was the one sitting in a wheelchair, somehow we were still talking about him. Noah had been my person. I’d convinced myself that was enough. That whatever I’d started feeling for her wasn’t worth risking what we already had. And now she was with him. Kade had managed to take the one thing I’d never been brave enough to ask for. I looked away, my jaw working as I swallowed the bitternes

Catherine stood just beyond the doorway, one hand gripping the strap of her handbag. In a cream blouse, her hair perfectly wrapped in a bun. She looked more prepared for a business meeting than a visit to a hospital room. The doctor paused beside her. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Leister.” “Doctor.” She gave him a small nod, then looked past him at me. “How is he doing?” “His progress is encouraging, but he has a long way to go. The rehabilitation needs to be consistent, and he must avoid putting unnecessary strain on the injured leg.” Catherine nodded, still maintaining her composure “Of course.” “He also needs to stop attempting to stand without assistance.” A humourless snort escaped me. Her gaze flickered towards me again. “I’ll make sure he understands,” The doctor gave a brief nod, gathered his things and nurses followed him out. Silence settled over the room. Catherine remained by the doorway, her fingers still curled around her handbag strap. She looked at

LUCA’S POV “Again, Mr. Leister. Don’t stop now.” I stared at the parallel bars. My fingers clamped around the cold metal, my knuckles whitening beneath the pressure. My right foot was planted firmly on the floor. And left was supposed to be beside it. Supposed to. “Shift your weight forward,” the physiotherapist instructed. “Slowly. Don’t rush it.” I looked down, willing my left leg to move. But nothing. My jaw clenched. A humourless laugh slipped out, barely more than a breath. “Are you fucking serious?” “Mr. Leister…” “I can see my own leg, thank you. You don’t need to narrate the damn thing.” His mouth tightened. He was getting better at hiding his irritation. Either that or he’d finally accepted that arguing with me was a waste of his time. He stepped closer, one hand hovering near my waist. “I’m going to support you. Just take your time.” “Back off. I can do it myself.” He paused, studying me. “Mr. Leister, I’m trying to help you.” “Then why the f

“I’m still driving you.” She turned, giving me a look over her shoulder. “We just discussed this.” “And apparently, you weren’t listening.” “Kade, I can get myself to work.” “Sure you can. Spend your first morning in Miami ending up halfway across the fucking city because you took the wrong bus.” Her eyes narrowed. “I don’t need you following me around.” “I’m trying to make your morning easier, Covey. Don’t turn it into a damn negotiation.” “Then take no for an answer.” I studied her for a moment. Stubborn little thing. I could insist. Have the SUV brought around and get her into it before she’d finished arguing. But that would only turn a simple ride into a fucking war, and I wasn’t interested in spending my morning fighting with her. So I changed tactics. “Fine. Drive yourself.” Her expression shifted, suspicion replacing irritation. “Just like that?” I didn’t bother answering. My gaze landed on the small, short-sleeved shirt lying across the couch. I picked

She scoffed, shaking her head. “What exactly do you think boyfriends are for, Kade? The same thing girlfriends are for. Companionship, dates, I’m sure you’ve had a million.” I watched her turn towards the living room. “I’ve had just one.” Her steps faltered. She turned fully towards me, folding her arms across her chest. “Well, I’ll be damned. Kade Leister, capable of maintaining a relationship.” “Don’t sound so surprised.” “I’m just trying to picture it.” She tilted her head, studying me. “Did she leave because you were too busy threatening people, and generally making the world a worse place to live?” I let out a short laugh. “She died.” Noah went still. The teasing smile disappeared, her arms slowly uncrossing as she searched my face, looking almost as though she hoped she'd heard me wrong. “Oh.” Her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but whatever she’d been about to offer died before it reached her tongue. “Kade, I—” “Save it, Covey. You didn’t know.” The
