Erased Vows CHAPTER NINETEEN
I stood in my hotel room, Liam’s hand warm around mine, the threatening note still clenched in his other fist. *You were warned*, it read. The words felt like a cold blade against my spine. My phone lay facedown on the bed, hiding the earlier text tying my mom’s death to Liam. The sea roared outside, its endless crash mixing with the cicadas’ hum, but inside, it was just us, two people caught in a storm of secrets and half-remembered truths. His eyes, raw and searching, held mine, his words about my voice feeling like home still echoing in my chest. He’d promised to stay close, to keep me safe, and for now, that was enough to hold me together. That night, I slept in his arms. The next morning, the sun burned through the balcony doors, sharp and unforgiving. I barely slept, my mind spinning with the note, the text, and Liam’s nightmares about a faceless woman *me* I was sure, but couldn’t say. We didn’t talk about it as we got ready for the day’s work. Liam was back in CEO mod
Erased Vows CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
I sat frozen on the edge of the bed, the phone’s glow burning my eyes, that message scarred into my brain. *Stay away from Liam or you’ll end up like your mom.* My hands shook, the air too thick to breathe. The sea roared outside, mocking me with its endless waves. My mom’s death was sharp, sudden, and a house fire they called an accident had always felt wrong, like a puzzle with missing pieces. Now someone was tying it to Liam, to us, and the threat felt like a blade at my throat. I wanted to scream, to call Aunt Natty, to run to Liam’s room and beg him to remember me. But I just sat there, heart pounding, the world tilting under me. Should I tell Liam about the threats? But how do I explain all these? A soft knock at the door snapped me out of it. My breath caught, pulse spiking. It was midnight and nobody should be here. The phone slipped from my hand, landing on the sheets. I stood, legs shaky, and crept to the door, the marble floor cold under my bare feet. “Who’
Erased Vows CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The plane hit the Athens runway, and my gut twisted like I had swallowed a rock. Greece was supposed to be a mini vacation, a way to dodge the mess of my life. Instead, it felt like walking into a fight, every look at Liam reminding me of the secrets burning inside me. Our hidden marriage, the crash that stole his memory, the truth Natty and I were digging up bit by bit. I couldn’t relax. Liam slammed his laptop shut next to me, breathing hard as the cabin lights buzzed. Even after nine hours in the air, he looked too good, clean white shirt, sleeves rolled up to show strong arms, jaw tight like he was chewing on a thought. Everyone else saw a guy who could own a room. But I saw the real stuff: his left hand shaking when he grabbed his water, the shadows in his warm eyes when things got too quiet, like he was hiding cracks nobody noticed. “Team meeting this afternoon,” he said, voice smooth but tired. “Dinner with the investors tonight. You got the plan?” “Every bit,” I said,
Erased Vows CHAPTER SIXTEEN
My phone buzzes on the kitchen table, Aunt Natty’s name glowing against the dim morning light. She’s not just my godmother, she’s the closest thing I’ve got to family. I grab it quickly, my heart already pounding.“Aunt, what did you find?” I ask, pacing the tiny kitchen, the smell of coffee grounding me.“Elsie, honey, hold still because this is a shocker,” she says, her voice sharp with that fire I’ve always loved. “I got Clara in records to pull Liam’s file again. It isn’t good. Dr. McMillian, the slick neurologist who signed his release.”There was a pause“But there’s no medication listed. None. No painkillers, no anti-seizure meds, nothing. For a man in a coma for three weeks? That’s not a slip-up. That’s suspicious.” She continued.My stomach twists. Last week when I told her about McMillian resigning, I saw the suspicion spark in her eyes. She knows the hospital better than anyone, and just his name set her off. “You think he was hiding something?” I whisper, my grip on the ph

Mr. Grey, this is the file you requested.”Her voice drifted in, soft and careful, just before a polite knock sounded on my office door.I looked up, smirking to myself. Anita Marshals stood there, folder clutched in her hands, her posture composed as always. But I had long since stopped seeing her as just another secretary.“Mr. Grey now, huh?” I drawled, leaning back in my chair, letting my eyes linger on her longer than necessary. “So that’s what we’re doing? Just Mr. Grey?”Her brows pinched slightly as she stepped closer, laying the folder neatly on my desk. “You asked for the report,” she said evenly, her voice polite but restrained.“Yes, but Liam works just fine.” I tilted my head, letting the grin sharpen just enough to make her blush. “Especially considering the night at your house.”Her hands stilled. A faint flush crept into her cheeks before she could stop it. She quickly clasped her fingers together, trying to compose herself, but the damage was already done.And just li
Erased Vows CHAPTER FOURTEEN
I sat down calmly at the diner while I listened to the faint hum of the light jazz song filling the background. The notes drifted lazily through the air, mixing with the clinking sounds of cutlery and the low murmur of distant conversations. It isn’t a fancy diner, no dazzling chandelier hanging in the center or marble countertop top but it is just the perfect place to have a meeting you want no one to find out about. My feet tap lightly on the tiled floor betraying the nerves I am trying to keep low and thankfully the dim light did justice in covering the nervousness on my face. A soft chime from the doorbell indicating someone had just entered the diner dragged my attention. And then a large smile covers my face when I saw her. I looked up, and the moment I saw her, my lips stretched out a smile I haven't worn in years. Aunt Natty. I stood up raising an eager wave to catch her attention. She stops mid-step, her eyes locking on me. Not much has changed about Aunt Natty in the l
