What started as a convenient, emotionless arrangement has turned into a complicated mess, especially now that Janet has realized she's fallen in love with him. She thought this camping trip would be her chance to finally talk things out with Rowan, but things fall apart when Flora, Rowan's fragile widow friend, shows up. Watching Rowan constantly rush to Flora's side has been eating away at her. While Janet tries to keep her cool, Flora plays the perfect damsel in distress, getting Rowan to take care of her every need. It's obvious to Janet that Flora is pushing boundaries, but Rowan either doesn't see it or refuses to admit it. Flora isn't just another woman-she's the one Rowan never quite let go of. Then Janet overhears something even more shocking: Flora is pregnant. The timing, the secrecy, everything points to one horrifying thought: could Rowan Be the father? Janet is torn between her anger, heartbreak, and the need to know the truth. When she confronts Rowan, she doesn't get the answers she expected. But the damage is done, and her already fragile Marriage is absolutely beyond saving. As Janet deals with the pain of feeling second best, she makes a call she's been avoiding for years. There's someone from her past who's always been there for her.
Узнайте большеJanet's Point of View By the time Peter and I returned home that night, the house was already asleep. The hallways were dim, quiet in a way that made every footstep echo louder than it should.Peter walked me to my room and waited as I slid beneath the covers. Instead of leaving immediately, he sat on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on his knees, watching me with quiet concern.It made my body tense.Not because he was inappropriate—but because no one had ever watched over me like this before. Not since my adoptive mother. And she had been unconscious for years.I wasn’t used to care that didn’t come with expectations.“Try to sleep,” Peter said gently. “You’re safe here.”I nodded.He waited a few more seconds, then stood and closed the door softly behind him.Sleep came in fragments.Rowan’s face crept into my thoughts no matter how hard I tried to push him away. The hospital restroom. His hands. The stolen kiss.I clenched my jaw.Not because he kissed me.But because my body
Rowan's point of view I stood in the hospital corridor and watched Janet disappear into Peter’s arms as they walked away.My chest felt like it was being crushed under the weight of a thousand stones.Why did it hurt so much?Why did seeing her with him feel like someone had driven a dagger straight into my heart and was twisting it—slowly?I had never loved Janet.And yet, watching her lean into Peter, watching how naturally she fit against him, how safe she looked in his arms—it shattered something inside me. She smiled at him. Softly and freely. The same smile she used to give me.What made it worse were Peter’s words.The chemistry between me and Janet runs deeper than even I can comprehend.They echoed in my head like a curse I couldn’t silence.Was there something between them that I didn’t know about? Something deeper than I’d imagined? Why was Peter protecting her like she was something precious—like a rare gem he would die to protect?I scoffed inwardly, trying to wave off t
Janet’s Point of ViewPeter was furious. His whole body was shaking with rage as he stood there, his fist still clenched from pushing Rowan away from me.How the hell did he get here? I thought in shock. Was he following us? Had he been following me the entire time?Rowan got up from the floor where Peter had pushed him, his face red with anger and embarrassment.“What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded, his voice sharp as a blade.Peter stepped forward, his eyes blazing with protective fury.“You think because she walked out with you, I’m going to let her go just like that?” he said coldly. “I told you she’s not married to you anymore. And don’t even dream of touching her again.”Rowan’s jaw clenched as he straightened his shirt.“She is my wife,” he said, his voice dropping low and dangerous. “This is a family matter. You should stay away from her and not think yourself a hero just because Janet gave you a little attention.”Peter laughed — a short, sharp sound with no humor
Janet’s Point of ViewThe pain in my heart was so overwhelming that I didn’t even realize we had arrived at the hospital. The car had stopped, and Rowan was already getting out. I followed him mechanically, my body moving without my mind’s permission.I couldn’t wait to leave this place. Couldn’t wait to get away from him. If not for the fact that Grandma had been so good to me over the years, I wouldn’t be here at all.As we made our way inside, I saw Ashley, Grandma’s caregiver, coming out of the hospital room. Rowan reached for my hand and held it like a perfect husband would hold his perfect wife. Disgust rose in my throat at the sight of us together — the performance, the lie.I couldn’t wait for it to end.We entered the room, and Grandma was already sitting up in bed. A doctor and a nurse were attending to her, checking her vitals and making notes on her chart.The moment Grandma saw me, her whole face lit up like the sun breaking through clouds.“Doctors, excuse yourselves,” s
