He was never mine A Plan Foward
Avery’s POVWe walked out of that building in total silence.The car was already waiting at the curb. The driver pulled away from the building. For a full two minutes, neither of us spoke. “Somebody gave them that.” Elise finally broke the silence.“Yeah.” I kept staring out the window. “They sure did.”“Your real name, Avery.” She turned toward me. “A supplier doesn’t just stumble across that.” Her voice sharpened. “Along with everything else they knew.”I already knew it. I'd known it the second Hargrove said ‘Miss Avery’ with that uncomfortable look on his face. Whatever reached that supplier hadn’t been an accident. Somebody had gathered it and handed it over knowing exactly what damage it would cause.***The emergency meeting at Monochrome started the moment we landed.Elise, me, legal, IT, and the operations manager around the conference table with the door closed.Our attorney pulled up the email on his laptop. “What concerns me isn’t the name.”My stomach tightened.“The
He was never mine The Name They Found
Avery's POV"Get Elise in here." I kept my voice level. "Now."The assistant hurried out before I finished speaking. I flipped the tablet over and read the email again, hoping the words had changed. They hadn’t.Elise burst through the door moments later. She took one look at my face, then snatched the tablet from my hand. She scanned it fast, her jaw tightened immediately."Shit." She slammed it on the desk. "That's our entire production backbone."I let out a short laugh that sounded nothing like amusement.“Wedding orders are locked, fabrics ordered and clients expect deliveries. California Fashion Week is four weeks out…"I looked back at the screen. “Trust me, I know exactly what we just lost.”I already had my phone out, pulling up every operations contact. "We'll figure it out." She crossed her arms, but her eyes mirrored my panic. "Why would they do this? We've had zero issues, not a single complaint."I didn't have an answer. The knot in my stomach twisted tighter.By three
He was never mine The Email
Avery’s POVI was sketching at my desk when Elise walked in. She stopped in the doorway, took one look at me, and sighed."Oh, there it is again."I glanced up. "What?""That smile."I frowned. "What smile?""The Wyatt smile."I rolled my eyes.Elise pointed at me immediately. "See? You just did it."My smile faded slightly as I remembered something from a few nights ago.I'd woken up just after midnight and found Wyatt sitting against the headboard instead of sleeping.The lamp beside him was on. Papers covered the bed, hospital records, sheriff reports, maps, and notes.For a second I thought it was work until I saw one word printed across the top page.“Ridgefield.”I pushed myself up."What are those?” I asked, already reaching for the stack nearest to me.Wyatt looked up. For half a second he seemed caught. Then he sighed and handed me the file.I stared at the papers. The date of my fall, hospital records, witness statements, everything."You're investigating it."His jaw tighte
He was never mine Getting Close
Wyatt's POVI knew something was off the second I walked through the door. Avery sat on the couch with her feet tucked under her, wearing one of my shirts that hung loose on her frame. A sketchbook rested on her knee, but the pencil moved slowly and distracted across the page. She wasn’t lost in her work. She was miles away.I dropped my keys on the counter. Avery glanced up briefly before looking back at the sketchbook.That alone told me enough.Normally she’d have launched straight into whatever was bothering her before I got both feet through the door.Tonight she barely acknowledged me.I headed upstairs to change. When I came back down, she hadn’t moved. I left her to it and went into the kitchen, pulling out whatever we had for dinner. Water boiled on the stove. A pan heated up. From there I could see the back of her head, the way she paused every few strokes like the paper held answers she couldn’t quite reach.About fifteen minutes later, she set the sketchbook down beside
He was never mine Mrs Sterling’s Visit
Avery 's POVThe showroom buzzed with energy by the time I walked in. Racks rolled across the floor, phones rang from every corner, and two junior designers arguing quietly over a color swatch near the window.I dropped my bag in my office and got straight to work.Things weren't that perfect with Wyatt. He was still holding something back, I knew it, and I was okay sitting with that for now. Life wasn’t suddenly simple. There were still things that hurt. Questions still waiting for answers.But somewhere along the way, Wyatt had stopped feeling like another problem I needed to solve and started feeling like someone standing beside me through it all.And that made a difference.Monochrome was doing well, really well. New collaborations, a strong quarter, the fall collection moving faster than Elise and I had dreamed.I was in the middle of comparing two fabric samples when Elise walked in.She dropped her coat over the back of a chair, and looked at me."You look disgustingly happy,
He was never mine Getting His Senses Back
Wyatt’s POVI woke up to darkness and the feeling that something was off.Avery was lying beside me but she wasn't sleeping. I could tell from her breathing, too even, as if she was wide awake and lost in her head. I turned and looked at her. She was staring at the nothing in the room, hands folded on her stomach."Baby?" I whispered.She turned toward me. "You're awake.""You're thinking."A small smile crossed her face. "Always."I reached for her hand under the blanket and laced my fingers through hers and she squeezed back. The room stayed quiet, just our breathing and the weight of whatever she needed to say.Then she let out a slow breath, "Wyatt, I need you to know something."I moved toward her, giving her my full attention."I love you," she said, her voice soft. "I need you to know that first." She paused, gripping my hand tighter. "But I'm still hurt."I stayed quiet and let her talk."I haven't forgotten that you knew," she continued, "My baby, my memories, my past, eve

I didn’t remember leaving the hospital as Celeste’s words kept playing in my head.“Disappear, Avery or I make you.”The threat wasn’t some empty threat. She was dead serious.By the time I got to my apartment, my hands were shaking so badly I dropped the keys twice before I could manage to open th

Wyatt’s POVI had waited patiently since I had placed that call that day, but no feedback. It’s been seven days of checking my phone every ten minutes. Of course Marcus told me to eat something, sleep, to get busy, to stop staring at the same blank wall like it would answer me back. Then my phone

Nate’s PovHer head snapped towards me instantly, the air between us shifted instantly.“What did you just say? Postpone?”I nodded weakly, not meeting her gaze.She stood up from her seat so fast that the chair scraped the flor making a sound. “Nate, the wedding is in two weeks."“I know…”“Two we
