2025-11-13 22:00:28Sarah’s POV
So right now, it’s 2005 and life is pretty good. It’s not been an easy journey but here I am, engaged Stephen, who couldn’t be more different from Mark and treats me like a Queen. The kids love him, and they’re so much more settled and happy, and doing well in school. My interior design business is thriving and we’ve just moved into our new home and I finally feel like I have my life back.
We’d lived with Rob for a few years after he came home from the hospital, he insisted on staying in the penthouse rather than home in Rye, so I moved us to the city to make sure he was taking care of himself. It took a very long time and a lot of patience but we now, seven years on we have something resembling the brother I knew. He’s back at the helm of the company and a total workaholic, still refuses to even consider dating but at least he’s functioning on practically every other level.

His Chapter 28
The following days were like a dream, I would wake up wrapped tight in his arms. I could feel he was afraid to let me go, we would grab breakfast then either travel if needed or head to the bookstore in the city we’d already got to, spend a few hours there for the signings, then if we didn’t have to travel we’d go out to dinner and just talk and catch up. Rob took care of everything, all I had to do was show up, and I had to admit loved it.It broke my heart to hear about how damaged he was, but he’d done so well to come back and to me, he was still very much my Rob, my strong and handsome Prince. He told me that the therapy he had brought up a tonne of stuff around why he craves control. His relationship with his father was more strained now, but they were working on it. Apparently while he was ill his father had distanced himself and taken back control of the company and was very reluctant to hand it over again, fearin

In the car, on the way to Newark, we made a decision. Rob called his Mom and asked if my parents were with them. Apparently, they had rented and about to head out to the ocean fishing for the day.“Mom I need you to put me on speaker, make sure Alex and Jane can hear, I have really really important news. "“Oh! OK Darling” We could hear her fiddling with the phone “OK Rob, we’re all here, what’s the news?”“So umm yesterday, last night, I found out something. Well Sarah found out first but I get to tell you all….” I could see he was desperately trying to find the right words… how could he? What could possibly BE the right words for this situation?“Eve is alive…” he was about to continue when the sound of loud gasps and a scream came from the phone. I put my hand to my mouth, I knew that was my mother.&

I barely slept, we made love, again and again, learning each other once more. My body was exhausted and Rob finally succumbed to sleep around 3am, I lay wrapped tight in his arms, watching him, trying to process what had happened today.I’d woken up, Eden Meadows, author, which was a dream. I was on a book tour and everything seemed so magical, like I was a character in one of the romances I loved so much. I was in New York City, which I didn’t remember having been here before, it seemed so vibrant and exhilarating and I had wondered as I made my way to the book store that afternoon if perhaps I might consider moving here. Sandy Ridge was beautiful, peaceful and the people there had been so good to me, but it never felt like home.I’d gone to the hotel bar to unwind, it was a lot having a couple of hundred people come and tell you how inspiring you were and asking questions, some had been so specific. This was the 3rd

Returning to Eve’s POV for the rest of the story.God he was handsome, he had the most beautiful blue eyes I’d ever seen. His salt and pepper curls cut short and neat, it was like he stepped out of a romance novel. But I didn’t recognize him, and I didn’t know if I was happy or sad about that. A part of me loved the idea of this romance Sarah had told me about, but then… I wasn’t that woman, I was me, Eden. I lived in a small apartment in Pennsylvania and I worked in a cafe in between writing. I had got so lucky that my local newspaper did a feature on me which was picked up by a publisher and now, here I was touring the country signing copies of my book. I wasn’t the woman who fell in love with Rob Montgomery.Now here he was, standing outside my door. I’d watched him for the last 5 minutes just staring at the door, so uncertain. I could see he was trembling and I knew how importa

Rob’s POVI poured myself a scotch on the rocks and sat back on the couch. Paperwork surrounded me, as always, all I did was work, work out and sleep with occasional breaks to eat. It kept my body healthy, and my mind occupied because as soon as I let myself not think about work she would be there, front and center in my mind, my beautiful Angel… and my heart would feel like it would shrivel and die from the pain.Being here, in this place, which was meant to be our home together probably doesn’t help. The clothes and jewels I had bought her still sat in the closet, unopened. No matter how much therapy, or how many times I would tell myself she was gone, I couldn’t bring myself to move them. I felt small in here on my own, but because it reminds me of her, I can’t leave.My phone ringing is a welcome distraction from the spiral I was heading down. The number was the concierge fo
