The fury was quiet.

That was the most dangerous kind — the kind that didn't announce itself, didn't break things, didn't raise its voice. Isla had learned this about herself after Connor.

That her worst anger was the kind that sat down and made coffee and thought clearly while everything underneath it was burning.

She was up at six. She made coffee. She sat at the kitchen table with her phone face down beside her and she thought through everything with the particular coldness of someone who ha

  • Cursed To Love You   What She Decides

    Maeve fed them aggressively for two days, which Isla had explained on the first morning was simply how Irish mothers expressed approval."She's not trying to fatten you up," Isla said, watching Zachary eye the third helping of brown bread being pushed toward him. "Well, she is. But it means she likes you.""I've never eaten this much in my life," he said."Eat it anyway. Refusing is an insult."He ate it.They walked the coast road together on the second day, Maeve pointing out landmarks that meant nothing to most people and everything to her — the spot where Isla learned to swim, the rock formation where her husband used to take her fishing as a child, the particular bend in the road where you could see the lighthouse if the weather was clear enough.Zachary understood Isla differently here.He saw where the warmth came from — this place that wrapped itself around you, this mother who fed strangers like family, this coastline that demanded you slow down and pay attention to it. He sa

  • Cursed To Love You   County Clare

    She didn't ask him to come.He just packed a bag while she was still on the phone with her mother, found his passport, checked flight times before she'd even hung up. By the time she walked out of the bedroom he was already calling the car service."You don't have to—" she started."I'm coming," he said. Not a question. Not asking permission. Just a fact stated plainly.She didn't argue. She didn't want to go alone, even though she would never have said that out loud, even though admitting it felt like admitting something she wasn't ready to look at directly.The flight took seven hours. She slept for two of them, her head against his shoulder, and he stayed awake the entire time watching the dark window beside them.County Clare received them the way it always did.Grey water. Pale light. The particular smell of the coast — salt and something underneath it, peat maybe, or wet stone — that did something specific to Isla every single time she came back, something that lived in her che

  • Cursed To Love You   Her Father

    She read it a third time, just to be sure.The letter said that her father's death — the fishing accident off the Clare coast when she was seventeen — wasn't actually an accident. It said a company operating in the area at the time had been running illegal dumping operations, that something about those operations had compromised the structural integrity of the boat. That the company had covered it up afterward, made it look clean, made it disappear into the category of bad weather and bad luck.And that the company was a subsidiary of a holding group Dorian was connected to.She set the letter back down.Zachary was watching her, hadn't said anything yet, just standing there with his own copy of it still in his hand, his eyes moving between the page and her face."It could be a lie," he said finally."Yes," she said."It could be him trying to hurt you because everything else has failed. The patent, the trial, the board meeting — he's losing everywhere else, so he's reaching for the

  • Cursed To Love You   The Transfer

    The patent transfer completed on a Thursday morning.Reid called with the news while Zachary and Isla were still having breakfast, his voice carrying a relief that came through even before the actual words registered."It's done," he said. "Clean transfer. The independent medical institution has full control. No connection to Dorian whatsoever, no shared funding, nothing that ties back to Meridian Health."Zachary set his coffee cup down carefully. "And the treatment itself?""Resumes immediately. They're ready for you this afternoon if you can get there. Your doctor already transferred over all the protocols.""That fast?""We've been preparing for this for weeks, Zachary. The moment the transfer cleared, everyone moved."Zachary went that afternoon.Isla came with him. The new facility was different from before — smaller, quieter, none of the corporate sheen that had characterized the original trial location. It felt like a place that existed to do actual medical work rather than se

  • Cursed To Love You   Four Years

    Reid gave her the moment.After he said the name — Dorian — he didn't keep talking. He didn't try to fill the silence with explanations or justifications. He just stood up from the small table and walked to the window, putting his back to her, giving her the space to process this without his eyes on her face while she did it.He knew her well enough to know she needed that.She sat with the information.Four years. Four years of believing he'd simply chosen to leave, chosen distance, chosen a clean break over honesty. Four years of building a life around his absence, of learning how to exist without him, of teaching herself not to wonder what had actually happened.Four years of being careful not to want him.All of it based on a lie someone had told him specifically to manipulate both of them.She turned the information over slowly, looking at it from different angles, the way she looked at financial documents when something didn't quite add up.When she finally spoke her voice was c

  • Cursed To Love You   Wren's Evidence

    Wren and Reid worked through the night.They sat at the small table in the hotel suite, papers spread across the surface, two laptops open, coffee going cold beside both of them because neither one remembered to drink it. It was past midnight. Then past one. Then past two, and the city outside the window had gone quiet in the particular way London goes quiet only in those deep hours before dawn."There has to be a provision," Wren said, scrolling through compliance frameworks for what felt like the hundredth time. "Something that protects records generated through legitimate engagement, regardless of scope disputes.""Keep looking," Reid said.He wasn't being dismissive. He just trusted her to find it, the way he'd trusted her with things for years before everything fell apart between them, the way he was apparently still capable of trusting her even after four years of silence.They sat side by side, close enough that their shoulders occasionally touched when one of them leaned forwa

  • Cursed To Love You   The Moving In

    Isla didn’t do it dramatically.She did it the way she did everything — practically, without ceremony. A bag on Monday. Some books on Wednesday. The plant from her windowsill on Thursday because she refused to leave it behind — “My mother gave me that and it’s survived worse things than moving apar

  • Cursed To Love You   The Connection

    Reid, Zachary and Isla sat at the kitchen table like a war council at three in the morning.The laptop was open. The discovery was very small and very large at the same time.Connor Dealt’s former company. Connected to the trial funding. Connected to Dorian.“Tell me what you know about this compan

  • Cursed To Love You   The Thread

    She didn’t tell Zachary.She told herself it was because he was tired. That the treatment cycle left him exhausted and the last thing he needed was more weight. That she was just going to look. Just check. Just find out if there was anything there before she brought it to him.She told herself thos

  • Cursed To Love You   The Waiting Room

    The waiting room smelled like recycled air and coffee that had been sitting too long.Isla had been there for forty minutes before Zachary’s monitoring session ended. She’d found the chair closest to the window, positioned so she could see both the door to the treatment corridor and the street belo
