Scarlett's POV

Ashfield’s name lit the screen while I was still sitting beside Spencer’s bed.

The ICU was quiet except for the monitors,the steady beep, the soft mechanical sigh of oxygen, the low hum of equipment that had become the room’s only language. I stepped just far enough from the glass that my voice wouldn’t carry to the nurses’ station and answered.

“It’s done,” Ashfield said. “Calista Lancaster was taken into custody this evening with no resistance.”

“She’s in custody,” I repeated,

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    A Reason To Stay

    Valeria's POVI crawled to him and grabbed his face in both hands. His skin was cold and clammy."Look at me," I said. "Don't close your eyes.""I'm fine." He managed."Stop saying that.""You almost..." He couldn't finish the sentence."Belle, Go find the maid." I said. "Tell her I need Tyrone's pill case from his desk."Belle was crying so hard she hiccuped. "Is he gonna die?""No," I said, firm. "Go."She bolted. I turned back and pushed on his shoulder. "Sit. Right here. Lean on the chair."He sat. I held his wrist and watched the second hand on my watch, lips moving as I counted. I was shivering so hard my teeth clicked. My lungs burned every time I breathed. "You're freezing," he said."I'm fine.""Now who's saying it?"I glared. "Shut up."The maid ran out with the blue case and a stack of towels. I snapped it open, pulled out a small white pill, then a second tablet, and held them out."Chew the aspirin. Put this one under your tongue and let it melt.""Valeria..."He did. I

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 26: Eight Feet Under

    Valeria's POVIt was my first day off in twelve days, and I was going to enjoy it if it killed me.That was a joke, sort of.I stood on the back terrace in leggings and a hoodie, holding a mug of coffee, and looked around. The whole place looked like a toy store had thrown up. A pink scooter lay on its side near the steps. Three jump ropes. A bucket of sidewalk chalk. A tea set with tiny plastic cups lined up on the stone table like guests at a very serious party.On a lounger by the pool, wearing sunglasses that were way too big for his face, was Sir Reginald."He's tanning," Belle said, walking up beside me. She wore her dino sneakers and a yellow sundress. "He said the sun helps with his lion energy.""He's an elephant." I said flatly."Elephants can tan too.""That's not how..." I stopped. "Okay, sure."I took a sip of coffee. The sun felt good. It was warm for November, one of those lazy days where the air smells like cut grass. Somewhere in the house, Tyrone was still locked in

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 25: Between Midnight and Morning

    Tyrone's POVAt midnight, the folder was locked in the bottom drawer of my desk.I'd turned the key twice, then checked it a third time like an idiot. It sat in the dark with its tidy label, unopened. I'd told myself I'd read it after the house went to sleep. Then after one more email. Then after one more call.It was twelve-oh-six now, and I was staring at a spreadsheet I couldn't see.The connecting door creaked.I didn't turn. I knew the sound by now. It was the exact sound of someone trying to be quiet and failing."You're up," Valeria said."So are you.""I couldn't sleep."I looked over my shoulder. She stood in the doorway with one hand on the frame, barefoot, in the gray T-shirt she'd worn the night before. It hung off her shoulder and stopped at mid-thigh, and her hair was loose and tangled like she'd spent an hour twisting in the sheets. "Did something happen?" I asked."I just..." She stopped and started again. "Can I come in?"I pushed the laptop aside. "Yes."She crossed

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 24: Things We Don't Open

    Tyrone's POVI opened the front door before he could knock.Kelvin stood on the top step with the folder under his arm and the cold afternoon light behind him. He looked exactly the way he always did. Clean. Calm. Like someone who'd never raised his voice in his life."Tyrone!"Before I could stop him, he stepped in and wrapped both arms around me.I didn't move. My arms stayed at my sides, stiff as boards. He smelled like expensive cologne and cold air. He held on a second longer than anyone should, patted my back twice, then pulled away with a warm smile."It's been too long," he said."Not long enough." I said flatly."Come on," He smiled. "I'm not here to fight, Ty."The hallway went very quiet."Don't call me that," I said."Call you what?""You know what.""It's a nickname," Kelvin tilted his head. Family uses nicknames.""Only one person called me that.""I remember." His voice softened, almost gentle. "I miss him too."I clenched my jaw so hard my teeth ached. He knew exactly

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 23: Almost True

    Tyrone's POVThe front door shut behind Ms. Dalton, and the click echoed through the entry hall like a gunshot.Nobody moved. The house was suddenly very. I could hear Valeria breathing next to me, like she was trying not to make noise, then I realized why I could hear her so well.My hand was still wrapped around hers.Our fingers were laced tight, my thumb pressed against the side of her hand. I had no idea how long it had been like that. Since the library door? Since the hallway? I'd forgotten it was there.I let go first. My fingers felt stiff, like they'd gone to sleep. I flexed them once, twice, and shoved my hand in my pocket.Valeria looked down at her own hand. She turned it over, slowly, like it belonged to someone else."Sorry," she said."For what?""I don't know." She crossed her arms. "Holding on too long?""I held on too," I said."Yeah.""It was for show.""Right. For show." She nodded way too fast. "What do you think she asked her?"I stared at the library door. "Wha

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 22: The Visit

    Valeria's POVI woke up to the feeling of being watched.For one second I was afraid I’d rolled into him again. Then I felt the solid line of pillows I’d shoved between us the night before and the relief hit so hard I almost laughed. No tangled legs. No hand on my waist. No shared body heat. Just a wall of pillows and the quiet sound of Tyrone breathing on the other side.Then I saw Belle.She stood at the foot of the bed in her pajamas, Sir Reginald under one arm, staring at both of us like we were late for something important.“She’s here,” Belle whispered.I sat up so fast the pillows toppled. “What?”“The lady. The one with the notebook. Nana Lyn is talking to her downstairs. I heard the doorbell.”My stomach dropped. “What time is it?”Tyrone was already swinging his legs out of bed, voice rough with sleep. “Too early.”“I haven’t brushed my teeth,” I said, scrambling free of the sheets. “I haven’t done anything. I’m still in your clothes.”"You should go to the bathroom," He sai
