Evelyn

Kendall’s words sat in my chest like a stone after she left.

I stared at the ceiling for a long time after she was gone, replaying every thing that happened the day before.

Adrian could really go that far? Just because of a single encounter?

It wasn't just about Damien being kind to me… He had been there for me and never let me see the ugly version of myself that Adrian had always reminded me about.

That was what hurt the most.

My side still ached whenever I shifted, but that pain bar

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Wasted

    EvelynThe place was already loud by the time we got there. Bass came up through the floor. Lights cut across bodies in broken colors. As I headed for the bar to take some shots, Kendall dragged Raymond onto the floor before he could fully settle into the idea of being in the club.I chuckled. “He has no idea the woman he’s signing up for, does he?”Damien was already by me and he laughed.I saw Raymond say something against Kendall’s ear. She laughed and pulled him closer.I sighed, definitely so glad for her as I gulped another shot alongside Damien. Then we paused and exchanged quite a stare. He did not ask whether I wanted to dance but we both understood. He waited until I reached for his hand.The first song was easy. The second one was closer. By the third my body had stopped holding itself and I could guess the drinks were kicking in well and I was kind of wasted. Damien’s hand sat at my waist, then lower, not grabbing, just there. I turned into him, in line with the music. His

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    About Last Night

    EvelynAs soon as I left the bathroom, Kendall took one look at my face and swore.“That bastard.”I tried to smile. It collapsed before it finished. She pulled me off the path, away from the toilets, and put both hands on my shoulders. She was still looking over her shoulders to see if she could spot Adrian but he was obviously not in sight.“Evie. Look at me. What did he do?”“Nothing, Kendall.”“Don’t give me that!” There was this challenging authority in how she replied that I knew it will be much better to simply reply.“He just talked about random things, Kendall… he just… it’s just everything I will try to forget… and then he… and then… he kissed me.” My voice came out thin. “I kissed him back for a second and then I stopped it. I told him to stay away from me.”Kendall’s mouth tightened. “He put his hands on you.”“I let him for a moment. That is on me too.”“No. That is on a man who took you into a toilet after you said you did not want a scene.” She wiped my cheek with her t

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    A Thousand Chances

    Adrian“No.”“Evelyn—”“No.” She looked directly at me. “Wanting another chance doesn't make you entitled to one.”I stared at her. “I can change.”“You can’t!”For several seconds neither of us moved. I could hear children laughing somewhere beyond the trees and the distant sound of traffic from the road outside the park, ordinary sounds continuing while my entire world seemed to have narrowed to the space between Evelyn and me.Then I reached for her.My hands settled around her waist almost instinctively, the familiarity of the gesture hitting me with such force that I nearly forgot everything else. She stiffened immediately, but she didn't push me away in the first second, and that tiny hesitation was enough to make me believe there was still something left between us.I lowered my forehead to hers.“Please,” I whispered. “Don't tell me I'm already nothing to you.”She closed her eyes.“Adrian…”“I remember you,” I said, my voice breaking. “I remember you falling asleep against me

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Everything We Shared

    AdrianThe public toilets sat behind a row of trees at the far edge of the park, partly hidden from the main path by overgrown bushes and an old concrete wall that had probably been painted years ago.I pushed the door open and looked inside before turning back toward Evelyn, checking the two stalls and the empty corridor because the last thing I wanted was somebody walking in while we were trying to have a conversation that neither of us seemed capable of having in the open.The place smelled strongly of disinfectant and wet concrete, and somewhere behind us a tap dripped at slow, irregular intervals into a stained basin, each drop seeming louder than it should have been in the silence.Evelyn walked in reluctantly, looked around the room and then folded her arms across her chest as though that could create enough distance between us to make her feel safe.“Ten minutes,” she reminded me. “That is what I told Kendall, so you have exactly ten minutes to say whatever you followed me her

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    Messy Guilt

    EvelynKendall immediately leaned closer to see the screen. “Answer it.”“No.”“Evie.”“You just want to listen.”“Of course I want to listen.”I laughed and put the call on speaker before she could snatch the phone from my hand.“Hey,” Damien said, and there was a tired warmth in his voice that made me smile almost immediately. “I am between patients. I wanted to hear your voice for a minute. That is honestly the whole reason I called, although I am aware it is not particularly smooth.”Kendall silently mouthed, Oh my God.“You called to check on me?” I asked.“I called because I left this morning and I didn’t like how quickly the street swallowed the day. I wanted to make sure you were all right.”“Kendall is here.”“Hi, Damien,” Kendall said in an exaggeratedly sweet voice. “We’re discussing you, so keep talking because this is getting interesting.”There was a pause before Damien laughed.“Should I be worried?”“Yes,” Kendall said. “She told me you stayed. I have questions, and sh

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By My Doctor    To Being Annoying Again

    EvelynKendall arrived the next morning with two cups of coffee and the particular look she always wore when she had already decided how the visit was going to go, regardless of whether I wanted company or not. Ready to argue with me and win. I wasn’t willing to argue anyway. There were so many things I needed to fill her in on.“Open the door, Evie,” she called before I even touched the handle. “I can literally hear you standing there pretending you’re not home.”I laughed under my breath and opened it, and the moment she stepped inside, she pulled me into a hug before I could even greet her properly. “So,” she said, drawing the word out as she stepped back and looked at me, “the whole internet has a photograph of you holding Damien’s hand.” She cleared her throat dramatically. “Have any explanations Mrs Evelyn Marcello Parker?”I covered my face, chuckling. “I knew you were going to start with that.”“Of course I was going to start with that. You went on an actual date, Evie, an act
