Wyatt’s POV

"Avery."

Avery froze, hands still on the door knob.

Not Arielle, not Ms. Montreux.

My entire body locked behind the glass. I straightened immediately

The room changed. Not because of the name itself, but because Stella should never know it.

Avery turned slowly. “What did you just say?”

I pushed the door open before I could think. The sound cut through the room.

Stella didn’t flinch. She watched me walk to the table as if she had expected the reaction from me.

Avery held Stella’s

  • He was never mine   Let Them Go

    Avery’s POVTwo weeks later, things had finally settled.It wasn’t perfect, but for the first time in a long time, I could breathe.Celeste was still in custody.The pool deck investigation had officially closed after she admitted she intentionally tampered with the railing to delay the divorce proceedings and buy herself time to secure more of Nate’s assets.California was a different story.The investigation into her first husband’s death was still ongoing. The police kept uncovering pieces of information they hadn’t seen before, and the nurse connected to the case had also been taken into custody for questioning.Through all of it, Monochrome kept thriving.I sat in my office with Elise and two staff members reviewing the final reports from California Fashion Week. The sales reports and media rankings on my tablet made me blink twice.“Top three,” I said slowly.“Top three,” Elise repeated, looking entirely too pleased with herself.“Not just in California,” my assistant added exci

  • He was never mine   Another Secret

    Wyatt’s POV“Did he just say death?” Someone finally broke the silence.“First husband?”“California?”Nobody moved. Nobody even seemed to breathe. Every eye in the room stayed on Celeste.Then a laugh broke the tension. Everyone turned at the same time.Nate sat at the hallway entrance in his wheelchair. He must have rolled back quietly. It wasn't a happy laugh. It sounded tired like a man who had finally run out of reasons to keep pretending.“Well,” Nate said, voice flat, “I guess some secrets really do expire.”Celeste spun toward him. "You knew?"“You told me about one husband,” he said quietly. “You forgot to mention the second one.” The room exploded into whispers. Questions came from every direction. People looked at each other, then back at Celeste.Tobias turned to the cousin beside him with wide eyes."Wait." Tobias pointed at Celeste. "Married before? As in... twice? Before Nate?"“Twice?” someone repeated behind him.One aunt pressed both hands over her mouth. Three peop

  • He was never mine   No More Hiding

    Wyatt's POV“I’m telling you, the build matches her perfectly, Wyatt.”Marcus’s words still echoed in my head. The call had ended less than a minute ago, but I could still hear him.Across the ballroom, Celeste laughed softly and lifted her champagne.The figure on the footage moved like Celeste. I’d thought as much because Avery told me she saw her in the garden that night. Same height, same build, same way of walking.It wasn’t enough to accuse anyone but it was enough to make my stomach turn."Are you absolutely sure?" I asked him.“I can’t really tell you it’s definitely her,” Marcus had said. “But if it were me? I wouldn’t let this go.”I slipped the phone into my pocket. Celeste was still laughing, as if the world hadn’t shifted beneath her feet.Then I looked at Anna dancing with Edward, laughing at something he had said, face lit up with real joy. I could walk over there right now. I could ask every question burning in my head.But Anna was happy and I wasn’t going to ruin t

  • He was never mine   Birthday

    Avery’s PovI woke up smiling into the pillow. Last night in the shower replayed in my mind, the hot water, Wyatt’s hands on my face, his low voice telling me he loved me like it was the simplest truth in the world. The way he’d held me after, as if I was the only thing that mattered. I pressed my face deeper, trying to stop the grin but it wasn’t working.The bedroom door opened. Wyatt came in, balancing a tray with coffee, fruit, pancakes, and the orange juice. He set it on the nightstand and turned.He stopped when he saw my face. "What?" he asked, already suspicious."Nothing." I sat up and reached for the coffee."You're smiling weird.""I smile normally."He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, then kissed me slowly. “Good morning, baby,” he murmured.“Good morning.” I looked at him over the cup. “You made pancakes.”“Staff made them. I carried them.” He settled beside me and stole a piece of fruit. “There’s a difference.”“Very hero

  • He was never mine   Bathroom

    Wyatt's POVI pulled Avery straight into the bathroom. The massive glass shower gleamed under the low lights, steam already rising as I cranked the hot water on full. It poured down in a heavy rush, filling the space with heat and the steady roar that drowned out every noise in the house.Avery stepped in first, still in her bikini, water instantly soaking her hair and making the fabric cling to her body like a second skin.I followed, sliding the glass door closed with a soft thud. She turned to me, eyes tired but sparkling with that spark I loved, and I didn’t hesitate. I cupped her face with both hands and kissed her. Our lips met soft and slow at first, tasting the day’s salt and exhaustion. Her arms looped around my neck, fingers sliding into my wet hair, and the kiss deepened. Tongues tangled, gentle then urgent, like we were pouring all the leftover tension from the pool party into each other. She pressed closer, her body molding to mine under the spray.“You feel like ever

  • He was never mine   Not An Accident

    Wyatt’s POVI stayed crouched beside the broken railing for another minute after everyone disappeared inside. The party tried to restart, the music came back on. A few cousins stayed in the pool but the easy vibe had vanished. Staffs clustered in small groups and kept glancing toward the house.My eyes drifted across the deck. Celeste sat exactly where she’d been for hours. Sunglasses on, drink in hand, leg crossed. She looked like she was enjoying a normal afternoon. Not like her husband had demanded a divorce in front of everyone, not like he’d just crashed hard enough to possibly break bones.She turned her head slightly and our eyes met. She held the look for one second, then lifted her glass and took a slow sip. I stood and went inside.Nate’s room was packed when I arrived. Anna pressed an ice pack to his ankle. Someone tried shoving a pillow under his leg but he pushed it away and the doctor couldn’t even get close to him.“Everybody out,” I said from the doorway.All hea
