He was never mine The collapse
Nate’s POVThe morning after I had overheard my father’s phone call, I headed straight to his office. I needed answers about what I’d heard. About the woman he’d been talking about, about whether it was Avery or maybe it was someone elseHe shut me down completely. He told me it was a confidential business, none of my concern. Even when I pushed harder asking for any information he could give, if he’d been talking to my ex-wife, his expression was cold and stern. He reminded me that she wasn’t my wife anymore and he walked out of his own office, leaving me standing there with nothing but more questions running through my mind.Weeks went by after that conversation. The wedding was now two weeks and some days away and I was going around like a fucking zombie.Sleep didn’t come anymore. When it did, all I dreamed about was her. Guilt sat on my chest like concrete.I’d sent my investigators everywhere to check hospitals under fake names, called shelters pretending to look for a friend,

Avery’s POVMy heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought it might break through.Ethan. The man who had destroyed me before Nate Sterling got a chance.No. No, this cannot be happening!He turned fully now and our eyes locked across the street. Recognition hit his face and his eyes went from blank to pure shock.I spun around, started walking away as fast I could. I don't run because that would mean that I cared and he still had power over me.“Avery!” His voice cut through the morning air.I kept moving, my legs carrying me.Footsteps echoed behind me, they were getting closer.“Avery, wait!” He called out again.I ignored him and I kept waking until a hand touched my arm gently.I yanked it away so hard I almost fell. “Don’t you dare touch me.”He stepped back immediately with his hand raised. “I’m sorry. I just…”His eyes dropped to my stomach and the air between us felt thick and suffocating.Three years, three years I had seen his face and the first thing he noticed was th

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 the door.I unlocked the door, got inside and shut the door behind me. I pressed my back against it to get my balance, trying to calm myself down.I got up minutes later and walked to the closet, dragged out my duffel bag, and I started throwing clothes inside. I didn’t fold them, I didn't have the time. My vitamins, ultrasound photos and phone charger.But where would I even go? How far is far enough?I was reaching for my jacket when someone knocked on the door.And I froze“Avery?” Nina’s voice called in a low muffled tone. “You in there? Mrs. Woods said you left early from your appointment and she could not reach you after that.”Relief washed over me hearing it was her. I took a deep brea

The waiting room at the clinic reeked of the kind of disinfectant masked with air freshener that only serves to cover up the lingering stench of stale air.I moved slightly on the uncomfortable plastic chair with my hand pressed against my belly. The baby inside me had been kicking all morning long, like it had a sense of kind of danger I was unaware of.“Avery Monroe?” The nurse called from the doorway.I stood slowly, grabbing my purse. My back ached from the morning shift at the diner, five hours on my feet before Mrs. Woods practically shoved me out the door.“You’re seven months gone, honey,” she had said, her hands were on her hips. “You have an appointment. Go.”The flickering fluorescent lights down the hallway above really did seem to be buzzing, the kind outside our diner that had never been replaced. I walked behind the nurse, through a session of cramped exam rooms until she finally stopped at one that was far away, almost at the end.“Doctor Morris will be right with you

Nate’s PovThe blood stains on the sheets stayed with me for months. It's been months since Avery left, six months and I still see it. Dark red blood against the white sheet, something I took when I had no right to take anything from her.I took those sheets off and burned them myself. I couldn't let the staff know I just slept with my wife of fourteen months. But the image remained, seared in my mind like a brand.The first two months after she left had been fine, good even. Celeste and I got engaged, planning our future we once dreamed about. For a while, I convinced my self this was what happiness looked like.By the third month, things changed. Small things at first. I would wake up reaching for someone who wasn't there. I see her face in crowds, and I hear her quiet voice in an empty room.By the fourth month, it got worse and Celeste noticed. She started asking questions I had no answer to. I blamed work, stress, anything but the truth.Five to six months were worse. Constant a

Nate’s PovThe door to my room opened .Avery stood in the doorway wearing black lace that left nothing to imagination, hugging her curves I’d deliberately ignored for months.My mouth went dry.She walked toward me without a word, no hesitation with each step measured.When she reached me, she didn’t wait. Her hands went to my shirt, fingers working on the buttons one by one. I watched her face, it was so focused and determined.Then my shirt slid off my shoulders.I grabbed her waist, pulled her against me, and kissed her hard, trying to make this quick and meaningless.But she kissed back differently than I expected. Not desperate, not timid. Her hands explored my chest, my shoulders, my back, learning every inch of my body.I backed her toward the bed, never breaking the kiss. When her legs hit the mattress, I pushed her down gently. She lay back, hair spreading across my pillow, watching me with those hazel eyes.I climbed over her, settled between her thighs. The lace bunched u
