Janet's Point of View

Flora's mouth hung open as she stared at me. She blinked several times, like she was trying to clear her vision.

"You... work here?" she muttered, but I caught every word.

I closed the door behind me and walked calmly to my desk, setting my purse down. My heart was racing, but I kept my face neutral, professional.

"Yes, I do," I replied evenly. "I'm a certified counselor."

Flora's eyes narrowed. "Since when? Why haven't you ever said anything about it? About being a... a consultant?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at that. After all the times she'd belittled me, made me feel small and stupid, here she was—shocked to discover I had qualifications, a career.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Flora," I said, sitting down behind my desk. "But that's not important right now. If you're not comfortable having me as your therapist, I can help you get assigned to someone else. Dr. Martinez would be happy to—"

"No," Flora cut in quickly, almost too quickly.

    Janet's Point of ViewI watched Rowan as he sit beside me looking so perfect, like the good husband every woman would want. But what exactly was he trying to pull here? I saw him clear his throat, preparing to tell his lie."It wasn't a big deal," he said to Grandma, his voice smooth. "I skipped our anniversary dinner, and I didn't know Janet was preparing something special that night. If I had known, I would have canceled all my meetings."He paused and pulled me closer to his side. I felt the warmth I used to desire most those days I seek for his attention but now I felt trapped."I keep telling Janet we can have more anniversaries together in the future, but she keeps pounding on this one." he continued.I was shocked at those words. What did he mean by that? More anniversaries in the future? Are we not ending this marriage? What was he talking about?Grandma shook her head at Rowan. "That's not enough Rowan. Janet left everything she had to do and put effort into making dinner for

    Janet's Point of ViewI stepped down in front of Bellevue Estate, the address Rowan had texted me three days ago after that terrible scene at the clinic. The memory still made my stomach tight with anger. I didn't want to come—not because of Rowan's threats, but because Grandma Stella was the only member of the Thayer family who had ever treated me like real family. She deserved better than to have her birthday ruined by our drama.I was free this weekend anyway. Jasper had wanted one of my brothers to come with me, but I told him it would be fine. I lied, saying I was attending as a guest. I didn't want my new family to have anything to do with Rowan or his family.The banquet hall looked breathtaking. White and gold decorations covered everything, with beautiful roses and lilies in tall crystal vases. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting soft light that made everything glow. It really showed how much they loved Grandma Stella. Of course Rowan would host the party at one of his

    Rowan's Point of ViewMy anger was growing inside me—maybe not because of what I had just heard, or maybe it was because of Janet."Whatever she said doesn't give you the right to trigger her, Janet. I thought you said you were a professional?" I asked, even though that wasn’t exactly what I meant to say."Excuse me?" Janet snapped, cutting me off before I could say another word."With all this, you still think it’s my fault?" she said, rolling her eyes."I definitely know you won’t believe me—always defending her," she added."What do you want me to believe, huh? You and I both know you haven’t been sincere the past few days. You’re just Janet—my wife. But now here you are, acting like a counselor?""You know what? Whatever you choose to believe, that’s on you," Janet said, putting the recorder away."And if Flora still chooses to take this up in court, she’s welcome to try."I just stared at Janet. Seeing her in this professional mood was strange. I couldn't believe Janet could be t

    Rowan's Point of ViewI wasn't meant to say all this, but the image of that guy holding Janet is almost destroying me from the inside. The urge to punch something is driving me crazy from within."Isn't it why you haven't come home?" I said, my voice sharper than I intended. "Because someone else claims they love you and they come outside to show it?"Janet looked at me like I had lost my mind. "You sound delusional, Rowan. You need to go see your doctor."I chuckled, but it wasn't a good laugh. "I need to see a doctor?" I repeated. "Janet, when did you even become a doctor? We've been married for three years, and you never said anything about being a mental health doctor. And look at this—this is not the wife I know I married.""Oh, come on, Rowan," Janet said, staying firm in her seat. "You never knew what I'm capable of."My hands clenched into fists. "You claim I don't know you? Do you want me to really expose you out there? Wow, I don't know, it's even easier nowadays to fake car

    Rowan's Point of ViewI sat at my desk, staring at the computer screen. The numbers on the spreadsheet blurred together. My mind wasn't on work—it was on Janet. Where was she? Why hadn't she come home? I thought telling her about Grandma's birthday would at least make her show up, but nothing.A noise from outside my office made me look up. Voices in the hallway. Flora was talking to someone, her voice high and upset."I need you to deal with this clinic!" she was saying. "They are completely unprofessional!"This was the third time I'd paid for Flora to see a therapist, and none had worked out. But wanting to shut down an entire clinic? That seemed too much.A calmer voice replied, trying to soothe her. I recognized it—Alex, my assistant."Ms. Reynolds, please calm down," Alex said. "We can investigate the matter and handle it properly.""No!" Flora's voice got louder. "That clinic needs to be sued! They let their staff harass patients!"I stood up, annoyed. I hated noise in my offic

    Janet's Point of ViewI stood stunned in Elena's doorway, watching as Edward stepped forward beside me. I never expected him to defend me like this. Flora clearly thought I would be fired on the spot—the look of shock on her face was almost worth the whole ordeal. I bit my lip to hold back a smile, thinking how funny it was that she didn't realize Edward was just a client, not someone in charge."Ms. Martinez," Flora said, her voice suddenly soft and trembling. She dabbed at her eyes with a tissue. "I came here seeking help, but Janet was so harsh with me. So judgmental. I opened up about my grief, about my feelings, and she..." Flora's voice broke dramatically, "she attacked me."I kept my face neutral, though inside I was rolling my eyes. Flora's victim act was so familiar—I'd seen it countless times before.Edward cleared his throat. "I think you should drop the act, Ms. Reynolds. It doesn't suit you."Flora's head snapped up, tears miraculously gone. "Excuse me?""Being harsh and
