KELLY

THREE DAYS LATER

Danny had been acting like the perfect husband ever since his mom dropped the Hawaii bomb on us and left. It was honestly creeping me out. Gone was the man who'd tried to starve me and trap me in heated rooms. This new Danny opened doors, carried bags, and asked about my day like he actually cared about the answer.

I'd confirmed the trip with my parents, and Mom was practically vibrating with excitement over the phone.

"Oh Kelly, this is perfect! A romantic honeymoon in Hawaii! I'm so happy for you! You know, your father and I always talked about going there for our anniversary, but we never made it happen. Now my daughter gets to experience it instead!"

She went on for twenty minutes about all the romantic things Danny and I could do together, completely oblivious to the fact that her daughter would rather be swimming with sharks than sharing romantic moments with her fake husband.

Dad was more laid back about it when I called him separately. "Just

  • Enemies To Soulmates    Chapter 46

    KELLY Water was falling on my face. I opened my eyes slowly, my eyelids feeling like they weighed a thousand pounds, and found myself staring up at a canopy of leaves and branches. Rain. It was raining. Great. Because lying paralyzed in a forest wasn't miserable enough without adding precipitation to the mix. I tried to take stock of my situation. I was in some kind of ravine or valley, surrounded by dense vegetation. Trees loomed overhead, their branches creating a lattice pattern against the darkening sky. My clothes were torn in several places - I could feel cool air against my skin where branches had ripped through the fabric during my fall. Fortunately, the jumpsuit was thick enough that most of my body had been protected, though I could see scratches and cuts on my exposed forearms. I tried to sit up, but my body refused to cooperate. It was the strangest, most terrifying sensation - my brain was sending signals, but nothing was responding. My arms lay useless at my sid

    DANNY As we climbed up the mountain, I found myself enjoying the experience more than I'd expected. The physical exertion was satisfying in a way that desk work never was - using my body instead of just my mind, focusing on the simple task of putting one foot in front of the other, breathing in the clean mountain air. I didn't know why Kelly's words from this morning had gotten to me so much. Last night, I'd thought perhaps there was something genuine happening between us, something real beneath all the hostility and arrangement. I'd felt it in the way she'd kissed me back, the way her fingers had traced my face, the way she'd pulled me closer instead of pushing me away. But this morning, she'd said some very hurtful things. Dismissing everything as a birthday gesture, insisting the divorce was still happening, looking at me like I was an idiot for thinking last night had meant something. I couldn't understand why she was so angry with me, why she seemed determined to push me

    KELLY After forcing down the last of my breakfast, I headed outside to meet the others gathered for the mountain climbing expedition. The hotel's front courtyard had transformed into a staging area, buzzing with excited chatter and the rustle of expensive outdoor gear being adjusted and readjusted. The group was a mixed bag of preparedness. Some people looked like they'd stepped straight out of an REI catalog, sporting top-of-the-line backpacks with hydration systems, multiple carabiners clipped to their harnesses, and those fancy moisture-wicking shirts that probably cost more than my first car. Others had clearly grabbed whatever they could find in their suitcases - one guy was wearing what looked suspiciously like khaki dress pants and loafers that were absolutely going to give him blisters within the first mile. Most of them were couples, of course, standing close together with that insufferable honeymoon glow that made me want to roll my eyes so hard they'd get stuck. They

    KELLY What just happened? I lay in the darkness, my heart still racing, trying to make sense of the last hour. It felt surreal, like I'd stepped outside myself and watched someone else make decisions I'd sworn I'd never make. One minute, I'd been giving myself an inward lecture about being considerate since it was Danny's birthday. I'd let him stay, wished him well, even built a fortress of pillows between us to make my boundaries crystal clear. And the next minute? Those boundaries had crumbled like they were made of sand. I'd let him kiss me. Let him pull me into his arms. Kissed him back like it was the most natural thing in the world. The realization sent a cold wave through my chest. I was falling for Danny Knight. And that was a problem I couldn't afford. This relationship had an expiration date. The divorce I'd asked for still stood, no matter what had just happened. Once we got back home, I would follow through with it, I had to. Because the truth was painfully

    DANNY After returning from the party, I headed straight to my room, peeling off my suit jacket and tie as I walked through the door. The evening had been... complicated. More complicated than I'd expected when I'd decided to make that last-minute appearance. I stepped into the shower, letting the hot water wash away the tension that had been building in my shoulders all evening. The dinner had been a little heavy— rich hotel fare that was sitting uncomfortably in my stomach and making the prospect of sleep seem unlikely anytime soon. Once I'd dried off and changed into comfortable pajamas, I settled into the chair by the window with my phone, intending to catch up on some business calls. The time difference meant I could still reach a few key people about company matters that needed my attention. But as I tried to focus on reports, my mind kept drifting back to the party. Back to Kelly. I tried to shake it off, to concentrate on the spreadsheets and contracts that demanded m

    KELLY "Why are you leaving?" Danny asked, his voice carrying a note of genuine confusion that seemed out of proportion to the situation. "You were here enjoying the party, laughing and dancing, having what looked like a great time. But immediately after I showed up, suddenly you're exhausted and need to go to bed early. Are you avoiding me?" His grip on my hand was firm, almost possessive, and his eyes were searching my face like he was looking for clues to some mystery I didn't understand. "I came to this party specifically to make sure you didn't get into any trouble," he continued. "I was worried about you being here alone, especially with..." He glanced toward Steve with an expression that wasn't entirely friendly. I smiled at his concern, even though it was completely misplaced and slightly irritating. "Danny, I can take care of myself perfectly well. I don't need you to babysit me or protect me from party dangers. I'm a grown woman, not a helpless damsel in distress."
