VIVIAN’S POV

The world tilted again, but this time there was no warmth, no confusing rush of desire. There was only the cold, stark horror of her words. Blue. Cold. My baby. The phone suddenly felt like a block of ice in my hand, slippery and impossible to hold. I didn't even realize I'd dropped it until I heard the clatter of it hitting the marble floor. I didn't stop to pick it up. I turned and ran back to the table, my breath coming in ragged, painful gasps.

"Sebastian," I choked out, my voi

    VIVIAN’S POVThe world tilted again, but this time there was no warmth, no confusing rush of desire. There was only the cold, stark horror of her words. Blue. Cold. My baby. The phone suddenly felt like a block of ice in my hand, slippery and impossible to hold. I didn't even realize I'd dropped it until I heard the clatter of it hitting the marble floor. I didn't stop to pick it up. I turned and ran back to the table, my breath coming in ragged, painful gasps."Sebastian," I choked out, my voice a stranger's. "It's Rory."I didn't have to say more. The look on my face must have said it all. He was on his feet in an instant, his chair scraping loudly against the floor. His grandmother stared, her hand flying to her mouth, her face paling."What happened?" he demanded, his voice sharp and commanding, all traces of the gentle lover gone, replaced by the decisive CEO."Maria said… she's blue. And cold." The words were ripped from my throat, each one a fresh wound. "She called an ambulanc

  • He Gave My Bed To His Mistress, So I Took Everything    Chapter 31

    VIVIAN'S POVThe world didn't stop. It just tilted, spinning on an axis I hadn't known existed. One moment I was listening to his grandmother's story, my hand resting in Sebastian's, a familiar, practiced weight. The next, his face was close, his breath a warm whisper against my skin, and then his lips were on mine.It wasn't like the staged pecks we sometimes gave for a camera, the quick, dry brushes of skin that were all part of the performance. This was different. This was a collision. The shock of it traveled from my mouth straight down my spine, setting every nerve ending alight. For a second my body didn't know how to respond. It froze, a deer caught in the blinding headlights of an oncoming car. My mind, which had spent three years building walls around this very possibility, went utterly, terrifyingly blank.Three years. It had been three years since Nathaniel, since a man's touch had been anything but a threat or a transaction. I told myself that was why my body was reacting

  • He Gave My Bed To His Mistress, So I Took Everything    Chapter 30

    SEBASTIAN’S POV"I was just bringing Rory in." My voice sounded strained even to my own ears. I gestured vaguely with my head toward the child in my arms. "She fell asleep."I walked to the crib, my movements stiff, and gently laid Rory down, arranging her small body with a care that felt like a prayer. When I straightened and turned back, Vivian had finished, setting the pump aside and reaching for the thin silk shirt draped over the arm of the chair."I was actually looking for you," I said, forcing my gaze to stay on her face. "The meeting with the Carmichaels has been cancelled. Something came up on their end.""Oh." She looked relieved. "That's good. I wasn't looking forward to it.""Instead," I continued, "we're having dinner with my grandmother. At Chez Laurent."Her expression shifted, the relief replaced by a familiar, weary resignation. "Of course we are.""She's not feeling well," I added, a little more gently than I intended. "Her doctor is concerned. I think she just want

  • He Gave My Bed To His Mistress, So I Took Everything    Chapter 29

    SEBASTIAN'S POVThe soft weight in my arms was the only thing that felt real. Rory was a furnace of warmth, her tiny breaths a rhythmic puff against my neck, her small fingers curled trustingly around the collar of my shirt. She'd fought sleep for the last hour, her fussing a low, stubborn whine that only ceased the moment I'd taken her from Maria and held her.Now she was finally succumbing, her body growing heavy and limp against mine.My assistant, David, stood in the doorway of the study, a tablet in his hand, his expression a carefully constructed mask of neutrality. I hadn't heard him come in."Sir," he began, his voice a low murmur that barely disturbed the quiet of the room. "The preliminary offer from the Isadora group came through. It's aggressive. Fifteen percent above market value, but the terms include a five-year exclusivity clause on all biotech R&D. It would effectively cripple our ability to innovate in that sector."I shifted Rory slightly, her head settling into the

    "I'm her husband! Now get out of my way before I have you all fired. Do you have any idea who I am?"He spotted me then, and his frantic energy focused into a single point of pure fury. He started toward me, but my men shifted, intercepting him without effort, their movements economical and sure."You!" he bit out. "Get your dogs to stand down. I'm seeing Vivian. Now."I took a step forward, putting myself directly in his path. The air between us felt electric, charged with all the things he didn't know and all the things I couldn't say. My voice was level, devoid of any heat, which somehow made it colder than any shout."I think it is best if you leave, Nathaniel."He laughed, a short, ugly sound completely devoid of humor. "I'm not going anywhere without my wife.""You're not going anywhere near her," I said, my voice dropping to match his, the quiet in the hallway deepening with the threat. "You were told to leave. I suggest you do that before I'm forced to have you removed.""I'm

  • He Gave My Bed To His Mistress, So I Took Everything    Chapter 27

    SEBASTIAN'S POVThe door to the private room clicked shut behind me, the sound unnaturally loud in the sterile quiet. The air was cool and carried the sharp, chemical scent of disinfectant that clung to the surfaces, a smell I was already beginning to associate with the worst kind of fear.Vivian was in the bed, looking impossibly small against the expanse of white linens and pillows. Her eyes were open, tracking me from the doorway, and a stark white bandage was taped to her temple, a violent slash against the dark spill of her hair on the pillow.The moment our eyes met, she tried to push herself up, her elbows sinking into the mattress, a move that seemed to cost her. Her hand moved instinctively, not to her head, not to the bandage, but to her right leg, where the cast began below her knee, a protective gesture that made something inside me twist into a painful knot.The doctor’s words replayed in my mind — the fracture, the surgery, the six weeks of non-weight-bearing, the possib
