Edward's Point of View

Janet had been absent for an entire week, and my mind wouldn't stop circling around the absence like a vulture. My office felt wrong without knowing where she was. The work on my desk felt meaningless. The patients in the ward seemed less important than understanding why she wasn't here.

I pressed the intercom button on my desk, my jaw tight.

"Where is Janet?" I asked my assistant the moment he appeared in my doorway. "It's been seven days. Seven days without a word."

    Janet's Point of ViewHe came closer. Too close. His body blocked my path to anywhere safe. His eyes were dark with something that looked like fury mixed with desperation."You think I won't find out?" Rowan asked, his voice dropping to something dangerous and quiet. "What the hell was he doing here? You're seeing Edward, aren't you? Tell me the truth."I stepped back instinctively, my body moving away from him even though there was nowhere to go."Rowan, calm down," I said, my voice shaking despite my effort to control it. "Aren't you seeing Flora? Doesn't Flora visit you? Why are you making such a fuss about this?"The words came out like weapons, designed to deflect, designed to turn his attention away from Edward and toward his own failures."That's different," he said, stepping closer again."It's not different," I said, my voice rising. "You know that if it weren't for my mother, we'd be done. Completely done. You know that."Rowan's jaw clenched so hard I could see the muscle w

    Janet's Point of ViewMy mother was sitting at the dining table when I came downstairs that morning, her expression thoughtful in a way that immediately made me suspicious. She had that look—the one that suggested she had been thinking about something important and was preparing to share it."Janet, come sit," she said, gesturing to the chair across from her.I sat down slowly, my body tense, already bracing myself for whatever was coming."That man who came by," she said carefully, her eyes searching mine. "Edward. The way he looked at you. The way he spoke to you. He's in love with you, isn't he?"Heat flooded my face. My hands clenched involuntarily around the edge of the table."He's just a work colleague," I said quickly, my voice coming out sharper than I intended. "Nothing more. He came by because of work business. That's all."But even as the words left my mouth, I knew they weren't entirely true. And I could see in my mother's expression that she knew it too.That's when I h

I asked my assistant the moment he appeared in my doorway. "It's been seven days. Seven days without a word.""I'm sure there's nothing to worry about," my assistant said, his voice carrying that false reassurance that made my skin crawl. "She's probably taking some time off. A break. Everyone needs rest sometimes."I shook my head sharply, the movement almost aggressive."Janet doesn't take time off," I said, my voice cutting. "She's not that kind of person. She's dedicated. Committed. That's why she's excellent at what she does."The words came out harder than I intended, revealing more than I wanted to

    Janet's Point of ViewI stared at Rowan, my mind scrambling to understand what he meant. He thought I was pregnant. The doctor had told him. Which meant he knew about the baby. My chest tightened so hard I thought I might stop breathing."What secret?" I asked, my voice sounding small and confused even though I understood perfectly what he was talking about.Rowan's face flushed with anger. His hands clenched into fists at his sides. I could see the muscle in his jaw working as he fought to control himself."Why are you playing dumb with me?" he demanded, his voice rising. "Why are you trying to act like you don't know what I'm talking about?""I don't—" I started, but he cut me off."Cut the crap, Janet," he said, his voice sharp as broken glass. "Enough of the bullshit. Just tell me the truth. Why didn't you keep shutting me out every fucking time?"My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. My hands were shaking. I opened my mouth to respond, to try to explain, to

    Janet's Point of ViewI arrived at the medical facility the next morning with a decision already made. I would stay clear of Mr. Greene. Would play it safe. Would do my work without stepping on toes or challenging procedures that I knew were ineffective.It hurt to make that decision. But it was the smart one.I sat in my office, surrounded by patient files and medical records. My eyes moved across the pages, analyzing procedures, examining methods, and recognizing patterns that screamed inefficiency. The director's approach was outdated. His medications were too strong for certain patients. His psychological assessments were superficial at best.But I said nothing.I simply documented my observations and filed them away.That's when Edward's assistant came in. He looked nervous, his movements quick and jerky like he was uncomfortable being there."I'm concerned about the director's procedures," I said, deciding to trust him with my worries. "His methods aren't working. The patients a

    Janet's Point of ViewThe patient ward was buzzing with activity when I arrived that morning. I moved between beds with practiced efficiency, my mind already working through the cases before me. There was a woman in bed three who presented with what looked like depression masked as physical illness—her body was failing because her mind had given up. I recommended a combination of antidepressants and psychological counseling. Her medication needed adjustment. Her routine needed structure."Increase the dosage here," I said to the nurse, pointing at the chart. "But watch for side effects. This patient is sensitive to medications. Start slow."I moved to the next patient. An elderly man with chronic pain that no amount of physical therapy could touch. His pain was rooted in trauma. In loss. In the death of his wife three years ago."The physical pain is a symptom," I explained to the attending doctor, my voice steady and certain. "He needs someone to help him process his grief. The pain

    Janet's Point of View "Take care, sis," Peter said, leaning across the car seat as I stepped out. My youngest brother's smile was warm, his eyes crinkling at the corners just like mine do.

    Janet's Point of ViewTracy's question hit me hard. I froze for a second, not because I didn’t want to answer, but because I didn’t know where to start. My past wasn't something I was proud of, and I never wanted to bring any of it into this fresh beginning with my new family—especially not anythin

    Janet’s Point of ViewI hung up the call and sat up on the bed, my fingers tight around the phone. My chest felt heavy, my heart tightened more. Rowan really thought low of me.He still believed the only thing I ever cared about was him. His shirt. His tie. What he wore. How he looked.I laughed so

She refused to come,” Martha continued, her voice barely above a whisper. I barely spared her a glance. As if I hadn’t heard it mys
