Beverly POV

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

So I blinked.

Once.

Twice.

But even after the second time, the image didn’t shift and I realized my eyes weren’t deceiving me.

He was really standing there.

Adrian Cruz.

His posture was calm, almost effortless, shoulders relaxed, hands tucked neatly into his pockets like he didn’t have a single care in the world.

But his eyes… his eyes were anything but calm. They were cold, sharp, fixed directly on my wrist like he could still see the impri

  • I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance    Chapter 29

    Beverly POVWhat the hell happened to him?However I barely had time to process the shock before his eyes rolled shut. One second he was standing tall like nothing could touch him, the next his body gave out and crashed forward like he was collapsing.“Adrian!” I screamed, lunging toward him I reached him just before he could fall and his weight slammed into me, almost immediately.My knees buckled, but I forced myself to hold him up, one arm wrapped around his torso, the other gripping his shoulder tightly as if letting go would make this real.“Stay still. I’m going to get you help,” I said, my voice shaking despite the firmness I tried to force into it.My heart hammered violently against my ribs as I dragged him down, easing him onto the floor. My hands trembled so badly I had to clench my jaw to steady myself. At that moment, I forgot every reason I had to hate him just as rescue Instinct took over, raw and urgent.I laid him flat on the ground and heard him let out a small groan

  • I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance    Chapter 28: What The Hell Happened To Him?

    Beverly POV“So, you want to know who handled your son’s autopsy seven years ago?”Director Brown gave me a strange look, one I couldn’t quite place. It was a mix of caution and probing, as though he was trying to read more than just my words.I swallowed, forcing myself to stay still as I shoved the intrusive thoughts of Adrian and what he had done for me earlier away from my mind, yet again.Hell, the thought wouldn’t leave me. It kept trying to creep back in, distracting and confusing, but I couldn’t afford that right now, so I shoved it aside and focused on the man before me instead.“Yes, Director Brown,” I nodded slowly.Up close, I noticed he looked older now. The years seemed to have carved deeper lines into his face, and there was a slight heaviness to his posture that hadn’t been there before.But his eyes… those sharp grey eyes hadn’t dulled one bit. They still carried that piercing intensity, like they could strip a person bare with a single glance.“But I thought we concl

They were cold, sharp, fixed directly on my wrist like he could still see the imprint of the guards’ grip on my skin.“I believe I made something clear.”His voice was quiet, and controlled as he spok. That kind of quiet that carried more weight than shouting ever could.He tilted his head slightly, his gaze darkening as they stayed on my wrist.“I said, let her go.”Something shifted in that instant like an invisible force had snapped into place.And as if something unseen shoved them, the two guards released me so fast it almost made me stumble. My arm dropped to my side, ti

    Adrian POVI didn’t know if this was some twisted kind of coincidence, but I could say one thing for certain. I was damn pleased.“Sir… you don’t mean it. You mean Beverly… the same Beverly Hamilton we’ve spent years looking for is here in Michigan? And also at New Life Hospital, working as a doctor?”The disbelief in my private investigator’s voice from the other side of the phone was almost tangible, like I could see his brows drawn together, his mouth slightly open in shock. If I didn’t know better, I would have said he thought I was joking.But funny enough, he wasn’t even half as shocked as I was.To think… Beverly. The same Beverly I had poured all my time, resources and sleepless nights searching for, all of it… not knowing she was right here. In my city. In my hospital. The very one I had purchased to honor my mother.“Yeah,” I said, my voice quieter now, steadier than I felt. “I’m as shocked as you are.”But that wasn’t even the part that stayed with me.What really got under

  • I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance    Chapter 24: The New Boss

    Beverly POVI felt the color drain from my face as I stared at the man I had long ago labeled my worst nightmare.Adrian Cruz.Sitting there besides the director like he belonged, one arm resting lazily on the chair, fingers loose, posture relaxed. Like this room, this hospital, this entire space bent around him.My throat tightened.What the hell was he doing here?“Uh… oh.” The director cleared his throat, pulling my attention back to him. His voice sounded smaller now, almost careful as he spoke; he must have noticed the way I was staring at Adrian. “Now that you're here, I think I should introduce you to the new owner of our hospital. Miss Beverly, please meet Adrian Cruz.”The word hit me so hard I didn't see it coming, and for a second, I thought I misheard him.What?My gaze snapped back to Adrian immediately, my pulse jumping hard enough to make my fingers twitch at my sides just as the words sank in.Him?The owner of the hospital?My stomach turned.Since when and now?My lu
