Amara’s POV.

I told myself I was going to keep it cool and just act normal. Pretend I belonged in the same room as Anna Rivers, founder of the Women’s Society, a woman whose power and influence were spoken about in hushed tones everywhere.

This was the moment I had been waiting for, to finally get into that circle and to be accepted among the elite wives and the women who really mattered.

Walking into the restaurant where they were hosting a gathering, I scanned the crowd, searching for Anna. But what I wasn’t prepared for was seeing Natasha there. Sitting so comfortably with Anna, laughing like they had been friends forever. A cold stab hit me right in the chest, the kind that makes your throat close up and your heart race all at once. How did she even get here? Who invited her?

I tried to push the irritation down, telling myself it was nothing. I walked over, catching Anna’s eye.

“Anna,” I said smoothly, trying to keep my voice light. “I was hoping to speak with you.”

Anna looked

    Natasha’s POV.Sylvester and I hadn’t spoken much since that quiet car ride. The silence between us had changed from tension to something softer—uncertain, but not hostile. Still, every time our eyes met, I felt something catch in my chest. I couldn’t name it, but it made it hard to breathe.The night, he knocked gently on my door. I was already dressed, combing through my hair slowly by the vanity. When I told him to come in, he did—cautiously, like he wasn’t sure if he was welcome.He stood by the door for a while, rubbing the back of his neck. “I wanted to say I’m sorry,” he began, not meeting my eyes. “For touching you that night. You were drunk, and I should’ve stopped it before it got that far. That’s on me.”I froze, brushing halfway through a strand. I had been thinking about that night since it happened—how his hands felt on my skin, how his kiss had made me forget everything else. It wasn’t regret I felt, not even close. But I hadn’t said a word that night, and I could under

    Natasha’s POV.The hospital was unusually busy that morning, a blur of footsteps, clipped voices, and the faint smell of antiseptic following me through the halls. I tried to focus on the routine. It was easier to let muscle memory carry me than to think too much about everything going on in my head.I walked into the training room and joined the others for our session on suturing techniques. Everyone was already suited up and practicing on synthetic pads. I slipped on my gloves and got to work, silently thankful for something to keep my hands—and my thoughts—occupied.Amara stood beside me, her arms crossed. I could feel her eyes on my hands before she even said a word.“You’re holding the needle like it’s a pen,” she said loud enough for everyone to hear, smirking. “That’s cute. Rookie work.”I ignored her at first, trying not to react, but the knot forming in my chest was hard to ignore.I looked at my sutures. They were clean. Neat. Even. Not perfect, but certainly not a rookie.

    Natasha’s POV.The pounding in my head was the first thing I noticed when I woke up. A dull ache that throbbed behind my eyes, making me wince as I sat up slowly. The curtains were only slightly parted, but even the soft morning light made me want to crawl back under the sheets.My mouth was dry, and my body felt heavy. It took me a few seconds to realize I was still in last night’s clothes. As I pushed the blanket off and swung my legs down, pieces of the night came back in slow, hazy waves. Dinner… too much wine… Sylvester helping me upstairs.I dragged myself to the bathroom, turned on the water, and let it run while I leaned against the sink. I caught a glimpse of my reflection and paused.There it was. A small, purplish mark just above my collarbone. Then another, closer to my neck.My breath caught in my throat.My fingers moved instinctively to touch the spot, and like a jolt, everything came rushing back.The way I had kissed him. The way he had kissed me back. The feel of his

    Sylvester’s POV.Her legs wrapped around my waist with a kind of urgency I hadn’t expected. I could feel the heat from her body, and it made my thoughts stumble. Natasha wasn’t just flirting anymore—she was pulling me in, asking without words and daring me to do something I wasn’t sure I should.The room was warm, her breath even warmer against my neck. Her fingers clutched at the back of my shirt, and her body pressed up against mine with reckless abandon. It was the alcohol—I knew that. And still, it was hard to ignore the part of me that wanted to give in.Her voice came out low, unsteady. “You don’t have to hold back, you know. I want you.”I swallowed, hard.“No,” I said, not even recognizing my own voice. “You’re drunk.”She looked up at me with hazy eyes, but there was a quiet clarity in her tone when she whispered, “I missed you.”“I want you to look at me like I mean everything to you. I know we didn't start off on a good note but I have come to love you helplessly and I wis

    Sylvester’s POV.I hadn’t planned for things to be awkward between us, but from the moment she walked into the dining room, I could tell something felt off. Natasha smiled when she saw me, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. Her movements were careful, her voice a little too polite, like she was holding back.I came home earlier than expected. I wanted to see her. That kiss before I left had stayed with me more than I cared to admit, and even though I didn’t fully know where we stood, I had hoped we could talk, maybe start figuring it out.“Let's eat dinner together,” I said, breaking the silence and she nodded.“I will have that fixed right away. Let me get changed,” she replied, turning to head upstairs immediately but I grabbed her hand, stopping her from leaving.“You just got back from work. You need to relax, let the maids handle that,” I said, still holding onto her.“Okay,” she murmured. Her eyes looked down on my arm that was holding hers.Then I let go of her hand, an awkwar

    Natasha’s POV.The hospital was quieter than usual, the kind of quietness that settled only during the early afternoon hours. Most of the patients were either asleep or occupied with visitors, and the corridors had a rare hush to them. I stood at the sink in the supply room, rinsing surgical tools with care.This was supposed to be a shared task—Amara and I had been assigned to handle it together. But she had vanished, conveniently, after our rounds. Not that I expected anything different.I had grown used to the way she slipped away whenever it suited her, leaving behind just enough work to make me look overwhelmed. Then later when it was done, she would come claiming she was the one who did the job or directed me on how to, taking all the credit and every time it turned out to work for her. I guessed it was because it was her family’s hospital. I didn’t mind her not being around to join me in what was assigned to both of us. I loved the peace that came with not having her around a
