Chapter 1929

Author: Sienna Yates
"Thomas never learned to love himself," Carmen said, "So his love for you is unreserved and absolute. But Sharon, you've already experienced life—your heart will never burn as fiercely as his. He wants the same depth of love from you, but it's almost impossible.

"Under the strain of his illness, he may gradually spiral into extremes. I'm telling you this because, in your world, love may occupy only a third of your priorities—but for Thomas, it's everything. His feelings for you are neither norm

    "When Kelly came over to greet me last night, Thomas happened to arrive right then. I suspect Kelly was planning to move against me at that moment, but Thomas's sudden appearance interrupted her plan. Once she saw there was no opening left with me, she must have turned her attention to you instead."The room fell quiet for a moment.Wendy took a deep breath. "All right. I'll get someone on it right away."Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door. Thomas walked in carrying two breakfasts, his steps as steady as ever, his manner as composed as ever, as if the man who'd severed someone's hand without so much as a flicker of emotion just hours ago hadn't been him at all.His gaze passed over Wendy and settled on Sharon in the hospital bed.Their eyes met.The moment Sharon saw him, her heart skipped without her meaning it to.Wendy stood off to the side, glancing between the two of them. Taking the hint, she picked up her bag."I'll, um, go have someone look into last night. Sha

    By the time Sharon woke, it was the next day. Her whole body ached, especially where Grant had struck her, the pain sharp enough to feel like her skin might split.She turned her head and found Wendy asleep, leaning against the side of the bed, her eyes red and swollen, clearly having gone the whole night without sleep.Sharon didn't wake her. Slowly, she started piecing together everything that had happened the night before. Thinking of Thomas, she glanced around the room.He wasn't there.Something in her chest felt strangely hollow.Just then, as if sensing something, Wendy stirred and opened her eyes slowly. At the sight of Sharon awake, her face lit up."Sharon?" She sat up abruptly. "You're awake?"Sharon nodded. "Yeah.""How are you feeling? Does anything hurt?" Wendy asked, worried."I'm fine," Sharon said.Wendy's eyes reddened. "There has to be something. You've got bruises all over from that belt... Sharon, does it hurt a lot?""I'm okay. Don't worry about it," Sh

    The reason had been simple: that man had accidentally broken Marcus's favorite lighter.At the thought, Grant's gaze drifted unconsciously to the metal lighter now in Marcus's hand. The lid was slightly loose from having been dropped once. Marcus turned it over idly in his fingers, his expression distant.Grant had heard that the lighter was a gift, once given to Marcus by his best friend. His best friend. Yes, the one person Marcus had ever acknowledged as such. No one could ever take that person's place in his heart. But then again, what did that matter, in the end? Just like Grant himself. He thought he mattered. But in truth, to the person it counted with, he wasn't worth a single thing."I'll remember what you've taught me, Marcus," Grant said quietly. "I won't make that mistake again.""Good." Marcus nodded, satisfied.Grant glanced down at his severed hand, resentment simmering in him. "If Sharon herself had cut this off, fine, I'd take it. But this... someone else did

    Marcus headed to the hospital. After several hours of emergency surgery, Grant finally pulled through and was no longer in danger. He'd been badly hurt this time, his hand severed and a heavy loss of blood besides. Fortunately, he was young and had a strong constitution, which was the only reason he'd made it through.The moment he saw Marcus, tears spilled from Grant's eyes."Marcus, you have to avenge me!"Marcus had already heard the broad strokes from his men, but not the full details."Grant, what exactly happened?"Since Marcus was like an older brother to him, Grant didn't hold anything back or embellish the story, and told him everything.Marcus was a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five, tall and lean, with neat, short-cropped hair and sharp, striking features. His deep-set eyes held a dark, brooding quality, and diamond studs glittered at his ears. He carried himself with an untamed, defiant air, along with a presence that felt utterly unreadable. He look

    Julliard let out a low, cold laugh, sharp enough to cut.All of this had to be Thomas's doing. He must have known all along that Kelly and Sean were planning to make a move against Sharon, and he must have known Julliard was planning his own hero's rescue too, which was why he'd swapped the whole scheme out from under him and used it against him instead.Thomas had arranged for Grant to make his move against Sharon at the party, then deliberately beaten everyone else to the rescue while she was at her most vulnerable, and then let the culprit slip away, making sure every failure, every oversight, landed squarely on Julliard's shoulders. Once Grant vanished for good with no one left to testify, every ounce of blame tonight would fall on Julliard. It would be his failure to keep his guests safe, his failure to protect her, his fault that Sharon had suffered and been put in danger on his own turf. And Thomas would become the one man who'd arrived in time, who'd pulled her from dange

    The moment Julliard returned to the party, his assistant, Preston, hurried over, his expression grim."Mr. Macaron, Grant and his guys are gone.""Gone?" Julliard couldn't believe it. "Didn't I tell you to secure them immediately?"Preston said quietly, "By the time you called me, it was too late, sir. By the time I got there with the team, the room was already empty.""You didn't send anyone after them?" Julliard asked."We did, but they moved fast, and they're skilled at losing a tail. They came prepared, with an escape and cover already arranged in advance. Most importantly, by the time you gave the order, they'd already been gone for a while. It was simply too late..."Julliard's face went ashen. Grant and his men had tried to assault Sharon at his party. They had beaten her, and in the end, had gotten away without a scratch. If she ever found out they'd escaped, how could she possibly think well of him?Something seemed to click in his mind, and his handsome face turned col

    "Hidden illness?"Sharon turned toward Nate, a trace of curiosity flickering in her eyes.Nate, clearly humiliated at being exposed in public, instantly flushed with anger. "Watch your mouth, you old fool!"Uriah replied coolly, "Young man, don't be ashamed of being sick. If there's something wro

    "If I'd known Carter would end up marrying someone like Sharon—a clueless girl who didn't even finish high school—I would've just let him be with Kelly from the beginning," Madeline said bitterly.From the side, Nate chimed in, "I seriously can't wait to watch Sharon get humiliated."Since Kelly ne

    Sharon glanced at Carter and Kelly, both visibly unsettled, and chuckled."Too bad I don't have a special ability like that," she said, her voice light. "Otherwise, I'd show you how to twist truths, just like that.""It's okay," Matty tilted his head toward Kelly. "Didn't you say that Kelly does h

    "Madeline, I'm not your punching bag. I'm not here for you to vent your frustrations on."Sharon's voice was calm, but it carried weight."Today, I let Carter take those two slaps for you—out of respect for your age. But lay a hand on me again, and I won't hesitate to return the favor in full."Ma
