THIRD PERSON POV

Mira sat in the plastic chair beside Lily's hospital bed, one eye on the sleeping girl, the other on an email from her editor demanding to know why she hadn't filed anything in days now. The room was almost quiet except for the soft beeping of the monitors and Lily's shallow breathing. Eva has been gone since morning, off to beg the De Luca Foundation for a miracle, and Mira volunteered to stay behind because someone had to keep watch.

The phone buzzed in her hand.

She looked

    I stayed for an hour, maybe longer, sitting on the floor of her ward while Lily showed me every drawing she'd made since I left and told me about her friends and the movies they watched and the popsicles she'd eaten for breakfast because the nurse wasn't looking. It's no longer funny how close she was to becoming a thug, hooligan what else?Sophie came back with a cup of coffee for me and a juice box for Lily, and I watched my daughter laugh and play and be a normal kid for the first time in weeks. At least she was okay.I was exhausted, my eyes heavy, my body still on London time, but I didn't leave until Lily yawned and crawled onto the bed in to sleep, her tiny hand still wrapped around her cookie box.I bade the nurses and took a cab home. Immediately I arrived, I paid him and dragged my suitcase up the stairs. I unlocked the door, I dropped my suitcase by the door and kicked off my shoes and rushed into the shower. Quickly, I freshened up and changed into a more comfortable cl

    The plane touched down in New York just before noon, and the moment we landed I massaged stress on my shoulders like a concrete blanket. The private terminal was quiet when we got to the same black car waiting, Dante quickly got into his own car and drove away. Vanessa gave me a look I couldn't read and followed him in another car. I stood there on the tarmac for a moment, my suitcase in hand, watching the two cars disappear through the gate. Then I climbed into the back of the other car, gave the driver the hospital address, and leaned my head against the window as the city blurred past the windows.I couldn't wait another second to see her.When I arrived, the nurses at the front desk smiled when they saw me. “You're back. How was the trip?”“Like every other, stressful.” I pulled out a bag of snacks and souvenirs I got for them and placed it on the counter. “Here.”Both of them on duty broke into a wide smile. “Thank you Ms Bishop.” The first one grabbed it.I nodded. “Where's she

    After the door clicked shut and Vanessa's footsteps faded down the hallway, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and slumped against the desk, my lips still tingling, and the memory of his fingers inside of me doing things to my insides that I didn't have time to deal with.Dante was still standing by the door, watching me with that calm, very infuriating expression, like he hadn't just had me moaning on his desk five minutes ago. I scoffed, pushed off the desk, and dragged my dress down. I walked toward him, quickly bent down to grab my clutch, and when I straightened up, he was right there, my head almost hitting his chest. “Why are you in such a hurry?” He raised a brow and his hand came up to my face. I should have stepped back, but when his thumb traced my lower lip, I forgot what I was even going to do.He leaned in, and kissed me again…I kissed him back for one stupid second, maybe two, before I found the strength to press my palm against his bare sexy chest and push

    I woke to a soft sea of sunlight on my face. Streaming through an unfamiliar window and curtains spread open. I turned around and buried my face into the soft pillow infused with the intoxicating smell of woods and cedar.This feels…nice. The events of last night, like a broken dam, suddenly flooded into my brain. I sprang up so fast I winced from the pain between my legs.Uh…I shut my eyes and silently screamed into my palm remembering how we drove back to the hotel and he carried me in because I couldn't walk, still blinded by desire.Oh Eva, you’ve done it again. You really have. If I get a penny for every it I've done again and again, I'd be a billionaire. I stared at the windows facing the London skyline and a bed that could fit four people. He was nowhere in sight and his jacket was draped over the chair near the window, his tie was wrapped around the lamp like he'd thrown it there. The other side of the bed was cold, and the sheets smooth, like he didn't sleep there at all or l

    I pushed through the sea of black gowns, red gowns and sparkling jewels with my clutch to my chest, my heart pounding so loud I was sure everyone could hear it. I scanned the room for Priya, or a clock, anything that would tell me how much damage I've done by oversleeping. The orchestra was playing something soft and jazzy, and the guests were mingling near the bar and the hors d'oeuvre stations, so at least the world hasn't ended.Yet.I spotted Priya near the stage, talking to a man in a tuxedo. I made my way toward her, weaving between clusters of conversation, when she saw me her eyes widened."You're alive," she gave me a once-over. “And gorgeous.”"Thank you, and I'm so sorry. My alarm didn't—""Oh don't bother, Nothing happened. The speeches haven't started, although boss' assistant came to look for you?" She squeezed my arm. "She's somewhere around." She patted my shoulder and walked away.I looked down at my dress, suddenly self-conscious. I'd put it on in such a panic that I

    The gala was held at Grosvenor House Hotel, a sprawling building with chandeliers I could swear has diamonds. It was bigger than I expected. I, initially, had thought it would be smaller, considering the complaints and requests to reduce the sizes of some things.The first chosen venue would be a planet then.I arrived three hours early after an early chat with Priya who asked me to come in person for the final walkthrough, and after all the back and forth about loading docks and the equipment, I wasn't about to say no.The lobby was already transformed when I walked in. Tables draped in white cloth, flowers arranged in towering centerpieces, a stage set up near the far wall with microphones and speakers. Staff moved between the tables, adjusting silverware and folding napkins into unique shapes and styles. All this I watched standing near the entrance as I pulled up the floor plan on my phone, when someone tapped my shoulder."Eva?"I turned around to see a dark skin slender woman, a

    The driver pulled through a gate and stopped in front of a low building with glass walls and a sign that said "Premier Executive Aviation."I grabbed my bags and walked inside.The lobby looked small but with my years of experience browsing shopping sites, I know that that flower pot can get me a c

    I slowly sat up to turn off my five a.m. alarm with a groan. I didn't sleep throughout the night, I couldn't. I spent the night staring at the ceiling, listening to the rain stop and start, stop and start, and wondering if I was making a mistake. There were so many thoughts in my head that I don't

    I submitted the final contracts for the London gala and landed them on Vanessa's desk at nine in the morning the next day.I printed them myself, double-checked every page, and walked them across the hall without knocking. Vanessa was on the phone when I entered, her back to me, her voice low and a

    “Ugh.”I grabbed my left hand and winced at the numb ache from lying in it for so long.Lying?“Where am I?” I opened my eyes to wherever I was, it was dark, I could see the black curtains drawn tight, and I was lying on something soft that smelled like leather. My mouth was dry, my limbs felt heav
