Evelyn

I could not stay in that room any longer. I was angry enough to do something stupid, and I knew Margaret would use that against me before the day was over. Theo came toward me and placed a hand on my arm, but I pulled away immediately.

“Don't,” I said. “I can walk.”

“I know you can.”

He waited until I was ready, then followed me out. We went down the stairs and into his car without either of us saying anything. I sat in the passenger seat and stared at my hands throughout the drive. I ke

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    What She Left

    KendallEvelyn messaged just after eight.Damien and I are going for a walk. I'll be back later. Thank you for today.She sounded calmer. I had a little time to myself.I opened the photograph of an old Parker staff contact sheet on my phone. I had kept it from the period when Evelyn and I sorted through her documents. Doris's address was listed beneath her name.I collected my keys and drove there.The building was an older block of flats. A woman in a dressing gown stood on the third-floor landing, watering a plant.“Are you looking for someone?” she asked.“Doris Hale. I heard what happened. I knew her through the Parker office, and I came to collect some documents she kept for me.”The woman studied me. “Are you family?”“No. We worked together on a few things.”“Doris didn't say anyone was coming.”“She may not have expected this. She used to keep a spare key with you, didn't she?”After a moment, the woman took a key from her pocket. “The police have already been here. They said

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    The News

    EvelynI had gone to Kendall’s that morning from the hotel, hoping to spend an hour with her before Damien came to see me. I was still getting used to sleeping in a room that wasn't mine, and the hotel staff had started recognising me. I needed a familiar face.The news alert came while the kettle was boiling.Doris Hale, former Parker assistant, found dead in hospital records corridor. Police investigate possible robbery.I read it twice. Then I opened the article. The report was brief. A cleaner had found Doris during the early hours. Her bag and phone were missing, and police were treating the incident as a possible robbery gone wrong. My heart sunk.“What's happened?” Kendall asked.She had come out of the spare room, tying her hair back. I handed her the phone.“Doris is dead.”“Fuck!” She exclaimed. “What?” Kendall read the headline, then scrolled through the article. “At the hospital?”“In the records corridor.”“After hours?”“That is what it says.”She placed my phone on the

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    The More You Look

    DorisFor three nights, I sat at my kitchen table with my laptop open, going through Evelyn Parker’s medical records. The old login still worked. I had used it months earlier while collecting documents for Adrian, and nobody had bothered to close the account. I knew I was taking a risk accessing the system again, but the papers I'd found had given me enough reason to continue. Damien had refused to answer my questions when I visited his flat. His confidence had irritated me. I wanted something solid enough to take to the authorities, something that would destroy his reputation and make him pay for whatever he had done, destroy Evelyn and probably bring back Adrian. That was why I went to the records building on the third night. I waited until the main entrance had closed before driving there. I knew the side entrance code from my months of collecting Parker paperwork. I entered it, and the lock clicked open. Inside, the corr

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Meeting Isaac

    KendallBefore Evelyn had arrived that day, Isaac and I went for breakfast in the morning after I broke down in his hotel room. I had slept badly, waking twice to check whether he was still there. Both times, he had been sitting at the desk or lying on the other side of the bed, giving me room.At breakfast, he ordered eggs and toast while I settled for tea and a plate of fruit. We sat near the window, watching traffic build along the road.“Did you get any sleep?” he asked.“Some.”“You were exhausted last night.”“I was embarrassed.”He put down his fork. “About what?”“Crying all over you after I told you to leave me alone.”“You were upset, Kendall. You didn't need to apologise for that.”“I can't change what I did,” I said. “I can only be honest with you now.”“Then be honest with yourself first. Do you want to be with me, or are you hurting over losing Raymond?”I looked

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    All Good With Damien

    EvelynDamien called on Thursday evening while I sat in my hotel room, staring at the canvas I had bought two days earlier. I had squeezed paint onto the palette that afternoon, hoping to work, but the colours had dried before I touched the brush to the canvas.His name appeared on my phone. I let it ring twice before answering.“Evelyn.”“Hello, Damien.”“I've been trying to reach you.”“I've seen your messages.”“I figured you had. I wanted to hear your voice, though.” He paused. “Can we meet? There's a café on Mercer Street. Tomorrow at four. We can talk over coffee.”I looked towards the window. Cars moved along the street below, and someone in the next room was playing music loudly enough for me to hear the bass through the wall.I ran my thumb along the edge of the phone. Part of me wanted to refuse. Another part had grown tired of waking up every morning with our relationship hanging over me.

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Break Down

    KendallThe following afternoon, I printed copies of the referral and the amended appointment record, put them in my bag, and drove to Isaac's hotel.I told myself I was going to give him the documents. I didn't need him to take me back. I wanted him to look at what I had found and tell me whether I was reading too much into it.When I arrived, the receptionist called his room. I waited near the entrance, watching the lift doors open and close. A few minutes later, Isaac walked into the lobby.He saw me immediately.His expression hardened. “Kendall.”“Can we talk?”“What did I tell you yesterday?”“I brought the documents I mentioned on the phone.”He looked at the folder in my hand but made no move to take it.“You're doing this again.”“Please, Isaac. Just look at them. I'm not asking you to reopen Paul's case. These records concern Evelyn's treatment, and Damien's name appears on a
