The television was playing when I woke up. Damien had left it on the previous night, and the morning news was running at a low volume. I reached across the bed for my phone, intending to switch it off, when a familiar name caught my attention.

“Police have confirmed the death of Isaac Belham following a vehicle accident late last night. His car was discovered at the bottom of a hillside after it reportedly veered off the road near the Northpoint route. Investigators

    DamienEvelyn had barely spoken since I returned home. She sat at the dining table, surrounded by the documents Kendall had collected, looking at me with a mixture of anger and disbelief. “Evelyn, we've been over this. You're looking at records without knowing the full circumstances surrounding them.” “Then give me the circumstances, Damien. Explain why your name appears on my medical records. Explain why my appointments were changed and why documents carrying your signature were found in a warehouse.” I pulled out the chair opposite her. “You need to calm down. We've spent years together. Surely you can give me the chance to explain.” “Years together?” She gave a bitter laugh. “That's exactly what makes this worse. I trusted you with my life. I trusted you with things I couldn't tell anyone else.” “I was there for you, Evelyn.” “And what did you do with that trust?” I reached across the table, but she mo

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    The Things She Found

    EvelynI had come home quickly the previous day to avoid drawing suspicions so I couldn’t do much anymore. Good enough, I was home before Damien that night and everything had played out smoothly with Damien and I tried everything I could to keep my cool, even though my mind was already running through all the possibilities. It was still impossible to fathom, but the question was already there – something I couldn’t say out loud… I knew Damien will never do anything to hurt Kendall… Or Doris… Or Isaac… I was convinced this wasn’t Damien; but maybe it was something about him… someone else doing something? Everything was happening too fast and I was too numb to even process it. Damien left for the hospital shortly after nine. He kissed my forehead, reminded me to eat, and asked whether I wanted him to bring anything home. “Just come back safely,” I told him. He smiled. “I will. Try to get some rest

His car was discovered at the bottom of a hillside after it reportedly veered off the road near the Northpoint route. Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the crash, including the possibility of a deliberate act.” I sat up. “Isaac?” The reporter continued, showing footage of a damaged section of road and police vehicles gathered around the scene. “Mr Belham was known to have been involved in several investigations in recent months. Police have yet to establish what caused the vehicle to leave the road.” I reached for the remote and increased the volume.

    DamienIsaac Belham had made a mistake at the funeral. I could still hear his voice whenever I closed my eyes. He was becoming a problem I couldn't afford to ignore. On the drive home, Evelyn barely spoke. She sat beside me with her head against the window, occasionally wiping her cheeks. I reached for her hand, but she only gave me a weak smile. “Are you hungry?” I asked. “No.” “You haven't eaten since morning.” “I don't feel like eating.” “Evelyn, you need to take care of yourself.” I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. “I'm sorry she's gone.” She didn't respond. So much unspoken. Fuck you, Isaac Belham. I dropped her off at my flat and went straight into the kitchen. She followed me and sat at the counter. “Are you going out tonight?” she asked. “I have some work to finish at the hospital.” “Today?” “There's

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

    EvelynKendall's funeral was held three days later. That was when I understood that indeed, my very best friend had left me, and I was all alone. That was when I saw her. I had barely slept since the police confirmed her death. Every morning, I reached for my phone to call her before remembering that she would never answer again. Damien stayed close throughout those days, helping with the arrangements and making sure I ate. Raymond had also been involved in the preparations. He arrived early on the morning of the funeral and stood near the entrance, greeting the few people who had come to pay their respects. The service began, but I struggled to follow what was being said. I kept remembering Kendall's face, her voice, and all the times she had encouraged me when I felt I had nobody else. When the minister invited those who wished to speak, I stood. I walked towards the front and looked at the people gathered in the

    EvelynI woke up at Damien's flat with a message from Kendall still unanswered on my phone. I had sent her a text the previous evening, telling her I would call when I got back from dinner, but I hadn't heard from her since. I called her number. It rang several times before going to voicemail. “She's probably busy,” Damien said from the kitchen. “Come and have breakfast.” I put the phone down and joined him. He had already made coffee and placed a plate of toast on the table. “Have you spoken to Kendall recently?” I asked. “Not since yesterday. Why?” “I was expecting to hear from her.” “Give her time. She's been dealing with a lot lately.” I nodded and picked up my cup. Before I could take a sip, my phone rang again. The number was unfamiliar. “Hello?” “Good morning. Am I speaking with Ms Evelyn Parker?” “Yes. Who is this?” “My name is Detective
