Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 69: The Federal Agents
Nicholas's POV I got there at eight forty.The federal building on Fifth Avenue Street was exactly what it looked like from the outside, grey stone, security desk. I checked in at the front desk, asked for Agent Blackwell the way Scarlett had texted, and was told to wait in the lobby.I sat in one of the chairs near the window and looked at my phone.Seven minutes later it buzzed.Scarlett: We're outside.I stood up and went to the doors.They were coming up the steps when I pushed through. Scarlett in her dark coat, hair back. Spencer beside her, his hand locked in with hers as they came through the door, his eyes moving over the lobby before anything else the way they always moved when he was assessing a space.He saw me first and we looked at each other for a second.Then Scarlett looked up and found me and something in her expression settled slightly. "You're early," she said."So are you," I said.Spencer said nothing. Just looked at me with those steady eyes and then looked at
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 68: Everything I Know
Nicholas's POV My phone buzzed, it was scarlett.I picked up. "Hello.""Richard called this," she said. "The agency confirmed the meeting.""When is that?" I asked."Thursday at nine."I put the Singapore file down. "This Thursday.""Yes." She said.I leaned back in my chair. "How many people in the room.""Three from their side," she said. "They asked if the inside source would be present.""They asked for me by name?""They asked for the inside source," she said. "You're the inside source.""What did you tell them.""That I'd call you," she said. "It's your decision Nicholas. Not mine.""What do you think," I said."I think you need to be there," she said. "What you have from inside that estate is something no financial record can give them. The Reyes meeting. Your father stepping out for that phone call. The dinner conversations that sound like one thing and mean another." She paused. "They've been building this case from the outside for eighteen months. You've been on the inside
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 67: I Had A Friend
Scarlett's POV I woke up before my alarm.Spencer was still asleep beside me, one arm thrown over his eyes the way he always slept, breathing slow and even. I lay there and looked at the ceiling.I turned my head and looked at Spencer.At his face in the grey morning light, relaxed and unguarded in the way it only was when he was asleep, the tiredness gone, just him. The line of his jaw. His hand open on the pillow between us. The slow rise and fall of his chest.I felt something looking at him.Something real and warm and then I felt something else underneath it that wasn't about him at all and that was the part I couldn't make clean.I wasn't going to find the answer lying here.I eased out from under his arm carefully. He stirred slightly, made a sound, settled back. I stood at the edge of the bed in the grey light and looked at him for a moment.Then I found my robe and went to the kitchen.Sage Marie was already there.Standing at the counter in a grey sweater, hair down, looki
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 66: I've Got You
Scarlett's POV I locked the door behind him.The room was dark except for the city light coming through the curtains. He stood just inside the door looking at me and I looked at him and everything from the kitchen, Sage Marie's question, Nicholas, the case, all of it, was still somewhere in the apartment.Just not in this room.He crossed to me first.His mouth found mine before I'd finished turning toward him and the kiss was nothing like the soft careful thing from the kitchen. It had everything in it. Ten years of showing up, of sunflowers and peonies and ocean water and floorboards and all the things he'd done without saying anything, all of it coming out at once, and I grabbed his collar and he groaned against my mouth and his hands came to my waist and pulled me so hard against him there was no space left between us."Spencer...""Shhh... I know," he said against my mouth.He walked me backward and I went. The back of my knees hit the bed and we went down together and his weigh
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 65: Let It Be What It Is
Scarlett's POV I was still at the table when he came back.He appeared in the kitchen doorway, jacket off, sleeves rolled up, looking at me with the expression he used when he already knew something was wrong and was deciding how to approach it.He came in and sat down across from me.He didn't ask what Sage Marie had said.He just sat there.The kitchen was quiet around us. The garden plan still open on the table. The lemon chicken pan soaking in the sink. The low lamp on the counter throwing everything amber."How are the kids," I said."Aiden was still drawing," he said. "I gave him ten minutes.""He'll take twenty." I said."He will," he said. "I gave him ten and walked away."I almost smiled.He looked at me. "You okay?""I'm fine," I said.He held my gaze for a long moment, didn't push it. Just let the fine sit there between us the way he let things sit when he'd decided not to make them into something."She's good with them," I said. "Sage Marie.""She is," he said."Valeria l
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 64: Are You In Love With Him
Scarlett's POV Aiden pulled Sage Marie to the table immediately, sketchbook already open, the formation spread across it before she'd fully sat down."Okay so," he said. "The Danny problem.""The Danny problem," she repeated."Danny is our striker. He's good but he's inconsistent." Aiden pointed at the diagram. "I want to move him slightly wider but Val says the defensive structure can't support it and she's wrong but nobody will listen to me.""I said it was statistically risky," Valeria said from across the table. "Not that it was wrong.""That's the same thing...""It really isn't," Valeria said. "Risky means the probability of success is lower than optimal. Wrong means it can't work at all." She looked at Sage Marie. "It could work. It requires Danny to run his line consistently. Danny has done that twice.""Three times," Aiden said."Twice reliably," Valeria said. "The third time he ran it in the wrong direction.""He course corrected...""After eight seconds," Valeria said. "Wh
