RICHARD’S POV

Richard waited until we reached the house before mentioning Adrienne. He did not speak in the car, and that silence unsettled me more than shouting would have. When we entered the sitting room, he removed his jacket, placed it neatly over a chair, and looked at me with a calmness that immediately made my stomach tighten.

“Sit down, Emilia,” he instructed, pointing toward the sofa while remaining near the doorway. “I want us to talk privately, without interruptions, without excu

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 79 — THE LINE HE CROSSES

    RICHARD’S POV Richard waited until we reached the house before mentioning Adrienne. He did not speak in the car, and that silence unsettled me more than shouting would have. When we entered the sitting room, he removed his jacket, placed it neatly over a chair, and looked at me with a calmness that immediately made my stomach tighten. “Sit down, Emilia,” he instructed, pointing toward the sofa while remaining near the doorway. “I want us to talk privately, without interruptions, without excuses, and without you pretending that you do not understand why I am asking.” I sat slowly, watching him closely, because something in his voice warned me that this conversation had already begun long before today. “I know you have been meeting Adrienne outside work,” he continued, folding his hands across his chest. “I know about the apartment, the late visits, and the mornings when you arrive from the same direction. I also know that whatever exists between you two is not professional.” My fin

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 78 — THE DECISION SHE DELAYS

    EMILIA’S POV Richard’s question followed me long after I left the consultation room. Even while checking patient files, I could hear his calm voice asking why I looked at Adrienne like he was something I feared losing. I had spent weeks avoiding that truth, pretending my feelings were manageable. Now, one question had forced everything I buried to rise again. I tried to work normally, but my concentration kept slipping. I checked results twice, misplaced a file, and forgot a nurse’s request almost immediately. Every quiet moment brought back Adrienne’s hand adjusting my sleeve and Richard watching him. I knew I needed to speak with Adrienne, even though I feared what that conversation might demand from me. When my shift ended, I went straight to Adrienne’s apartment. He opened the door before I knocked twice, and his expression changed as soon as he saw my face. He stepped aside without asking questions. I entered slowly, carrying the weight of the hospital, Richard’s suspicion, a

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 77 — THE COVER ALMOST BREAKS

    EMILIA’S POV I returned to the hospital through the side entrance, hoping the quiet hallway would help me settle my thoughts before facing another busy day. Adrienne had left the apartment several minutes before me, just as we planned, but my body still remembered the warmth of his hand and the way he had looked at me before I walked away. I kept my eyes lowered as I moved through the corridor, pretending to be more interested in the patient files against my chest than the people passing by. Then I heard footsteps behind me, followed by a familiar voice calling my name. I turned and found one of the junior nurses smiling at me. “Doctor Emilia, you and Doctor Adrienne came from the same direction this morning,” she observed casually, tilting her head as though she had only just noticed the coincidence. “Were you both attending to an emergency somewhere?” My stomach tightened, but I forced a small laugh and adjusted the files in my arms. “Not exactly. We were both coming from the s

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 76 — THE SECRET DATE

    EMILIA’S POV Adrienne’s message arrived just after sunrise, while I stood before my wardrobe, wondering what kind of day I wanted to have. He asked me to meet him after work, and unlike his recent messages, this one mentioned no patients, files, or emergencies. It was personal, and that simple difference made my heart beat faster than I expected. When I entered his car, I immediately asked where we were going. Adrienne glanced at me, amused, before pulling away from the hospital parking lot. “You’ll find out,” he promised, keeping one hand on the steering wheel. “And before you ask, we’re not going to my apartment.” His answer made me curious, suspicious, and strangely excited. “Why not?” I asked, turning toward him with a small frown. “You’re the one who invited me.” Adrienne’s expression softened as he watched the road. “Because I don’t want every moment we share happening behind a locked door. I want one day that isn’t connected to fear, secrecy, or Richard.” His words touched

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 75 — THE FIRST MOVE

    ADRIENNE’S POV I had barely finished my morning rounds when I opened the hospital security report again. The faint trace of disinfectant on the blackmailer’s photographs had stayed in my mind for days. It could have meant nothing, but I had learned not to ignore small details when someone was deliberately hiding the truth. “Doctor Adrienne, are you looking for something specific?” the security supervisor asked, standing beside my desk with a tablet in his hand and a cautious expression on his face. “I need access records for restricted staff information,” I replied, keeping my voice low. “Not patient files. Staff schedules, employment records, private contact details, anything that requires special permission.” The supervisor frowned. “Why do you need that information?” I slid a written request toward him. “Because someone may be using hospital access to gather information about one of our doctors. I don’t want the staff alerted yet. If the person knows we’re watching, they’ll st

  • Double Life of Mrs Sinclair   CHAPTER 74 — THE FALSE FRIEND

    EMILIA’S POV The club looked exactly as I remembered it, loud music shaking the walls, colored lights flashing across the crowded room, and strangers laughing as though nothing terrible had ever happened. I stood outside Justin’s office, reminding myself that I had not returned to relive the past. I was there because someone was using that past against me, and I needed answers. Justin looked up when I entered, surprise crossing his face before concern replaced it. He pushed the papers on his desk aside and leaned forward. “Emilia, what are you doing here? You should have called first.” I closed the door behind me, keeping my expression calm while studying his reaction. “I wanted to speak privately, Justin. This couldn’t wait.” He pointed toward the chair opposite him, his eyes moving over my face as though searching for an explanation. “You look worried. Is something wrong?” I sat down, keeping my handbag tightly against my lap. “Someone has been blackmailing me,” I answered, watc
