Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 129
Devin’s POV I spun around and saw Mark standing over the bassinets with the kitchen knife in his hand. The blade was pressed against Sebastian's carrier, the serrated edge inches from my son's tiny body. Mark's face had changed. The calm and measured expression was gone, replaced by something blank and distant and utterly devoid of recognition. His eyes were glassy and unfocused. Any one could tell from his eyes that he was not in control of his own body."Mark. Put the knife down."He did not respond. His lips were moving, forming words I could not hear, a whispered chant that sounded like a prayer or a curse. The counter-phrase. It had to be the counter-phrase. Someone had spoken the words that activated the sleeper agent buried inside him, and now he was a puppet with a blade standing over my sons."Mark." Eve's voice was steady despite the terror in her eyes. "You do not want to do this. You are not yourself right now. The man who sent that warning, the man who loves his sister,
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 128
Devin's POV We had escaped death on our way back from the hospital only to get killed with the knife was from our own kitchen. I noticed it before I noticed the hand holding it, the way the overhead light caught the serrated edge and threw a thin blade of shadow across the living room wall. The boys were sleeping in their bassinets by the window, their breathing soft and even, their tiny chests rising and falling in the rhythm I had memorized over the past two weeks. Eve was in the bedroom, changing out of the clothes she had worn for three days straight because we had been too afraid to leave the apartment for laundry. I was in the kitchen, making her tea the way she liked it, half a teaspoon of honey and a splash of milk. The knock on the door came at exactly eight o'clock. I set down the kettle. I crossed the living room in four silent strides. I pressed my eye to the peephole and felt the world tilt sideways when I saw who was standing on the other side. Mark. He looked exac
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 127
Eve's POVI had gone to visit my boys after which I wheeled myself back to change my clothes, my arms still smelling of the special soap the nurses made us use before handling the babies. When I found folded into a paper plane and probably left on the windowsill of my hospital room while I was in the NICU feeding the boys. The paper was ordinary white printer stock, the kind you could find in any supply closet on any floor. The handwriting was rushed but legible, as if someone had written it quickly while glancing over their shoulder.Your sons will be taken on discharge day. The attack is planned for the route home. Two cars will follow you from the hospital. They are armed and they know your security protocols. Do not tell anyone you received this warning. Do not change your visible plans. Prepare quietly. Trust no one except each other.There was no signature. No clue to identify the sender. Just the words and the warning and the cold weight of fear settling into my chest like a s
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 126
Eve’s POV He weighed almost nothing. He was warm and slight against my chest, his body fitting perfectly into the cradle of my arm, his downy head resting in the curve of my palm. His eyes were closed and his lashes were dark little crescents against his cheeks and his lips were pursed in a tiny pink bow. I touched his fingers with my own, and his hand closed around my index finger with a grip that was astonishingly strong for someone so small."Hello, Sebastian," I whispered, and my voice cracked on his name. "I am your mother. I have been waiting to meet you for such a long time."He did not open his eyes, but his tiny fingers tightened around mine. I sat there rocking him gently while the tears rolled down my face and dripped onto the blanket wrapped around him. Then Angela lifted Theodore from his incubator and settled him into my other arm, and I was holding both of my sons for the very first time.Theodore was lighter than his brother, more delicate, but his grip was just as fi
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 125
Eve's POVThe first thing I felt when I woke was how empty my body had become.For seven months, I had never been alone. Every morning I opened my eyes to the flutter of tiny feet against my ribs and the press of small fists against my belly. I talked to them in the shower and sang to them in the car and fell asleep with my hands wrapped around the curve of them. They were my constant companions, my secret sharers, the two little souls who had been with me through every board meeting and every crisis and every terrifying moment of the past months. Now there was nothing but a hollow ache where they had been and a surgical wound that pulled sharply every time I shifted against the pillows. My hand flew to my stomach before I could stop it, pressing against the soft swell that was still rounded but no longer full of life.The panic hit me like a wave."Where are they?" The words came out as a croak, my throat raw and scratchy from the tube they had used during surgery. I tried to sit up,
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 124
Devin’s POV The hallways were not empty. Even in the middle of the night, the hospital lived and breathed around me. A janitor pushed a mop bucket along the floor, the wheels squeaking with every rotation, his face drawn with the exhaustion of a man who had been working double shifts for longer than he cared to remember. A young couple sat in a waiting area near the emergency department, the woman crying softly while the man held her hand and stared at the wall with the hollow expression of someone who had received bad news and was still trying to process it. Two nurses stood at the end of the corridor, their heads bent together in quiet conversation, their voices too low for me to hear. One of them glanced up as I passed, and I met her eyes and held them until she looked away.Everyone was a potential threat. Everyone was a possible enemy. The network had proven that it could reach anywhere, that it could turn ordinary people into weapons with nothing more than a trigger phrase and

Eve’s POV The morning had already delivered one gut punch. I saw no reason to stop at a single blow. After Devin dropped the revelation about my father's debt to Martin, I sat at the breakfast table for a long time, staring at the cooling eggs and trying to rearrange the shattered pieces of my

Eve’s POV I woke to the smell of tea and the distant sound of someone rummaging through my kitchen cabinets. For a moment I just lay there, wrapped in the blanket Devin must have draped over me at some point during the night. The couch cushions were still warm and the pillow still smelled faint
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 2
Devin’s POV The moment Eve's voice cracked on the other end of the line, I knew that walking misdemeanor had finally done what I had been silently hoping he would do since the day Eve told me she was engaged. He had removed himself from her life in the most catastrophic way possible, and while I
Married To My Gay Bestfriend Chapter 1
Eve’s POV If I’d known I would see my stepsister’s legs wrapped around my fiancé, I would have worn high heeled shoes that would have doubled as a weapon. Instead I stood in the cottage doorway in ballet flats as the three of us were frozen in a tableau so absurd it could have been a Renaissan
