LOGINWhat do you do when you're so utterly and brutally betrayed by the two people you love most in life? Life hasn't been kind to Lucy, right from a few minutes after she was born until now that she's a happily married adult. In the blink of an eye, everything she knows is proven to be a lie, and she is thrown into despair. In a surprising twist of fate, though, right at this trying time, luck finally decides to shine on her in a really big way. Her greatest heart's desire is suddenly granted, along with unimaginable success. Now, it's time for revenge ... time to show those who looked down on her and betrayed her that she's a force to be reckoned with. However, it seems that the universe isn't done dealing her a bad hand, because terrible secrets from the far, dark past suddenly begin to rear up their ugly heads, and seemingly unknown enemies begin to spring up out of nowhere to cause her problems. Will Lucy be able to conquer these problems? Will her new-found love with Nathan survive these sudden twists in their formerly perfect life?

Hell, I'll probably get one right here in the hospital bed. Also, I have every intention of taking a paternity test once she gives birth. I hope fervently that the baby isn’t mine, because I don’t want to be punished for something I can't remember doing, but …”“Oh, you don’t have to worry about any of that. The baby isn’t yours.” I inform him, smiling happily.No one is happier about the fact that Nathan isn’t the father of Diane’s baby than I am. I can’t imagine having to have some form of connection to her for several years to come.“What are you talking about?” Nathan asks me, perplexed.“Like I told you earlier, a lot has happened since you were in a coma. One of the things that gives me a lot of joy is that Diane is in jail for murder. I mean, the murder part doesn't give me joy ... poor guy, but ...”“Excuse me?”“Oh, yes. Remember that
Lucy’s POVThe words hang heavily in between us for several seconds after I say them. A slight tightening of Nathan’s arm around me and his sharp intake of breath are the only indications that he heard what I said.I hold my breath and wait for him to say something … anything. However, he remains silent for so long that I begin to think that he’s not going to react. Just as I open my mouth to talk again, he speaks.“You were coming to tell me that you were carrying our baby. You’re pregnant …” It’s not a question.“Yes, I was.""Those bastards ... those bastards nearly killed you and our baby," He says with barely restrained fury."They didn't succeed, all thanks to you. You protected us.""I guess I did. We're having a baby ..."Maybe it’s because of the quiet awe and joy I can hear in that sentence, but I know that he's pleased with the news of the baby, just as I had known he would be. Still, it doesn't hurt to ask him, so I do just that."You're happy about that, aren't you? I mea
Lucy’s POV“Of course, I followed you, Lucy. There was no way I would have let you leave by yourself at that time of the day, knowing you were not in a good mood and that you were also exhausted. That night, or early morning, rather, you had a head start, and since I knew that you were mad at me and wanted me nowhere around you, I drove a respectable distance away after I caught up with you.It didn't take long before I noticed the car. It was easy to notice it following you because you were driving slowly, or at least I suspected that it was following you.However, I soon decided that I was overthinking. After all, this is a very safe city, and besides, the people driving that car were probably just as tired as you and I were, seeing how early it was, so they weren’t taking any chances by driving fast or recklessly.Big mistake. I should have trusted my instincts and called the police. It wasn’t until they tried to run you off the road that I understood what was happening.I’ll have
Lucy’s POVNathan's sitting up in bed and sipping from a cup of water with a straw when I come in. My heart skips a beat at the sight of him.Despite all that his body has gone through in the past month, he’s still the most handsome man I’ve ever laid my eyes on.All I want to do is to fly into his arms and remain there for as long as humanly possible, but I restrain myself and sit demurely in the chair beside his bed.“Hello, Nathan. How are you feeling?” I ask him.“As well as can be under the circumstances, I suppose. You’ve been avoiding me.” He accuses me, taking me aback.“Um, no … no, I haven’t.”“But you have. I’ve been watching you since I regained consciousness. You’ve hardly looked at me in the eyes, and you're always in a hurry to leave. You're still mad at me.” He says.“I … I …” I trail off, not knowing what to say, because he’s somewhat correct, about me avoiding him, not that I'm mad at him.“You look tired. They say you’ve been here with me every day since it happened
