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.

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Breaking

    EvelynI 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 kept looking at them because I still could not understand how they had become attached to a document that required me to work in the Parker household.Theo drove for several minutes before he finally spoke.“I told you not to sign anything this week.”I turned toward him. “Please don't start.”“I am not starting an argument with you. I am telling you what happens now. I am going to take this to court first thing in the morning, and if there is any way to get the matter before a judge tonight, I wi

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    What the Hell Does That Mean?

    EvelynMargaret speaking in puzzles wasn’t helping.“What the hell does that mean?”Nobody answered me until the lawyer finally spoke. “You have consented to repaying the debt the Marcellos owe the Parker household through domestic services.”I looked at the lawyer first because he had been the one explaining the document, but instead of answering, he calmly closed the folder in front of him and pushed it back toward Margaret. The movement was so deliberate that for a second I could not believe what I was seeing but it was beginning to make sense in my head.He had just told me that I had accepted an obligation to perform domestic service in the Parker household, and now he was behaving as though the signing had simply reached its natural conclusion.I turned toward Adrian. He sat in the wheelchair with the blanket still covering his legs, his face turned toward the table. Doris stood beside him, suddenly very interested in the papers she had been holding.“I'm asking you what that me

    EvelynDoris shifted behind Adrian. And from the corner of my eyes, I noticed. Margaret remained ever still.“We don’t have all morning.”I turned toward her, unsure of how to reply to her, feeling the hatred towards her hanging on my chest… a child murderer, she was.Adrian looked at his mother. “Let her read it.”Margaret’s expression hardened, but she said nothing.The lawyer slid the first set of documents toward me.I read slowly.The language was formal, but it was straightforward. My name. Adrian’s name. The date of the marriage. The terms of the dissolution. The release of the claims that had existed between us. Nothing immediately concerned me.I turned the page.Then I reached Schedule B. It was considerably longer. The heading referred to prior family arrangements and outstanding obligations connected to the original terms of the marriage. My stomach tightened.I started rea

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

    EvelynDamien and I went to bed earlier than usual that night because neither of us had much left to say. We had spent enough time discussing the meeting, what Theo had warned me about and what I intended to do when the papers were placed in front of me. Neither of us wanted to spend the whole night going over the same possibilities, especially when we both knew that by morning I would have to make a decision. We lay facing each other in the dark, close enough that I could feel the warmth of his body, and for a while we simply talked about ordinary things because ordinary things were what I wanted to remember when I thought about that night.“When this is finally over,” I said, “I want to start again. I don’t mean going back to the way things were before Adrian. I mean something completely different. I want to work again, have a place that belongs to us.” I paused, then smiled. “Maybe somewhere near the water. I don’t know why I’ve suddenly become obsessed with that, but I keep imagi

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    What We Have

    KendallI thought about Isaac all morning and I could not make the night sit in a straight line, because a man I had never planned to meet had come out of Damien’s wardrobe, then Raymond had walked through that same bedroom after telling me he was going home…Yesterday was truly a weird night.I made coffee, left it untouched, and opened a new message before I could talk myself out of it.I typed, “Are you all right?”He answered faster than I expected. “Yes. You?”“I slept. That is the most I can say.”We stayed on small things for a while. He asked if Evelyn had taken the tablets. I said she had. I asked if he had gone back to that building. Of course, he had not and whatever he came looking for, I think my meeting him already provided answers. The chat stayed ordinary long enough that I almost let it remain ordinary, and then he sent another line.“I keep thinking about my brother. The file they gave me is thin. If you meant what you said in that wardrobe, I need more than a direct

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

    EvelynAfter Theo left, I stayed in the kitchen because I still could not decide whether I was angry with him or grateful that he had bothered to warn me. He had come into my home carrying information he clearly believed I needed, but he had also given me instructions about what I should do with my marriage and my future, and I was tired of men doing that.He had warned me not to sign anything immediately, and then, almost in the same breath, told me that I should not be with Damien either.I kept thinking about that last part.Who were they all to judge the one person that had always seemed to be there for me?I wanted the divorce. There was no confusion about that. Adrian had hurt me in ways I could never forget, and the last months had shown me exactly how little peace I would have if I remained tied to him. I had spent years trying to save the marriage, and every attempt had eventually left me questioning myself. Whatever happened with Damien was separate from that decision. I did
