The silence stretched.

“Define ‘slept with,’” Tasha said carefully.

“I went to a hotel with him. A penthouse suite We had sex. Multiple times.” Eleanor finally looked up and she knew her eyes were shining with unshed tears. “And then I woke up this morning, panicked left money on the nightstand like he was a prostitute and ran.”

“Jesus Christ, Eleanor.”

“I know.”

“No, I mean” Tasha ran a hand through her curls. “Okay. Okay, let’s break this down First question: do you remember consenting?”

    The silence stretched.“Define ‘slept with,’” Tasha said carefully.“I went to a hotel with him. A penthouse suite We had sex. Multiple times.” Eleanor finally looked up and she knew her eyes were shining with unshed tears. “And then I woke up this morning, panicked left money on the nightstand like he was a prostitute and ran.”“Jesus Christ, Eleanor.”“I know.”“No, I mean” Tasha ran a hand through her curls. “Okay. Okay, let’s break this down First question: do you remember consenting?”“Yes I was drunk and high, but I remember I wanted it. I practically begged him to take me to that hotel.”“Did he know you were intoxicated?”“Yes, but he tried to stop it. Multiple times I was the one who pushed.” Eleanor’s hands were shaking again. “I’m the one who kissed him. I’m the one who said I wanted to forget everything. I’m the one who” Her voice cracked. “I cheated on my husband.”“Your husband who’s been fucking Kelly for seven months?”“That doesn’t make it okay!”“Doesn’t it?” Tasha l

  • His Boss, Her Secret    Chapter 9: The Morning After

    Eleanor woke to sunlight stabbing through unfamiliar curtains and a headache that felt like her skull was being split open with an axe.For a disorienting moment she had no idea where she was. Then the details filtered in Tasha’s minimalist living room, the grey couch she was lying on, the throw blanket that smelled like lavender fabric softener.She sat up too fast and immediately regretted it. The room spun. Her stomach lurched.“Oh good, you’re awake.”Eleanor turned her head carefully, so carefully to see Tasha standing in the doorway of her open-concept kitchen, already dressed in fitted jeans and a white t-shirt, looking annoyingly put-together for someone who’d been at a club until 2 AM.“You look like absolute hell, by the way,” Tasha added, not unkindly.Eleanor opened her mouth to respond and discovered her tongue felt like sandpaper. “What time is it?”“Almost noon. You’ve been out for nine hours.” Tasha moved into the kitchen, pulling out a pot. “Don’t try to get up yet. I

    I tried to turn around, but the room was spinning. My legs wouldn't work.“Easy.” Strong hands held me steady. “When did you last drink water?”I blinked up at him. He was beautiful sharp face, dark eyes, the kind of guy you see on magazine covers. Tall, with broad shoulders, wearing a black shirt that fit him perfectly.“Who are you?” I managed to ask.“Someone making sure you don’t get attacked.”He guided me toward a quieter area. “Did you take something?”“Maybe? It was blue.”“Christ.” He sat me down on a leather couch. A bottle of water appeared in my hand. “Drink.”I drank because his voice made it impossible to argue.“Better?” he asked.I looked at him really looked and felt something stir inside me, despite everything. “You saved me.”“Those guys are predators.”“Thank you.” I set down the water and leaned closer. The drugs were making me brave. Reckless. “What’s your name?”A pause. “Brody.”“Brody,” I repeated. “I’m Eleanor.”“Eleanor.” The way he said it made my name sou

    I gasped, doubling over one hand flying to my stomach."Eleanor?" Marcus's voice changed, fear creeping in. "What's wrong?""I don't" Another cramp, stronger this time. Radiating through my abdomen in waves that made my knees buckle. "Oh god."I felt it before I saw it. Wetness between my legs. Warm and wrong.I looked down.Blood.Soaking through my dress Running down my legs."No." The word came out as a whimper. "No no no no.""Oh my god." Marcus grabbed me as my legs gave out. "Eleanor, we need to get you to a hospital"The baby." I clutched his shirt, my hand leaving bloodstains on the white fabric. "Marcus, the baby""I know, I know Come on." He was already pulling out his phone, calling emergency services, but his voice sounded distant. Everything sounded distant.Another cramp, vicious and relentless.I felt something shift inside Something ending."No," I sobbed. "Please no. I'm sorry I'm sorry, baby, I'm so sorry""An ambulance is coming," Marcus said, and was he crying? I c

  • His Boss, Her Secret    Chapter 6 : the miscarriage

    I was fifteen weeks pregnant now. The morning sickness had finally passed, replaced by a small but undeniable bump. I'd felt the baby move little flutters that the books called "quickening," like my child was trying to wake me up to something.Maybe it was.I'd tried to show Marcus one night, placing his hand on my stomach. "Feel that? The baby's moving."He'd smiled, said "that's amazing," and moved his hand after exactly three seconds. Then his phone had buzzed, and he'd been gone mentally first, physically five minutes later. "Emergency at work Be back soon."He'd come home at 2 AM.That was two days ago.Now, I sat in my car outside a Starbucks on Wilshire, hands shaking as I stared at my phone screen.I'd told myself I wouldn't do this. Wouldn't check up on him. Wouldn't become that wife who tracked her husband's location like a detective.But desperation made liars of everyone.I'd noticed the Find My Friends app was still sharing his location he'd probably forgotten to turn it

    The new password on his laptop now. How he'd started taking calls outside, on the balcony, claiming it was work but speaking in that low, intimate tone I recognized.I noticed him smelling like unfamiliar perfume again.I noticed everything and said nothing, because what was the point?He was lying. I knew he was lying He knew I knew.But acknowledging it would mean making a choice. And I wasn't ready for that choice.Not when I was thirteen weeks pregnant and already showing. Not when I'd just scheduled my twenty-week anatomy scan. Not when I'd finally told my parents we were going to be grandparents and heard the joy in their voices.So I played my role. The mother-to-be planning a nursery. The woman who pretended her marriage wasn't dying while her baby grew.One night, I was folding laundry in our bedroom when Marcus came up behind me, hands sliding around my waist, resting on my small but visible bump."Hey, beautiful," he murmured against my neck.I stiffened. I couldn't help it
