Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 44: The Game
Nicholas's POV I left my apartment at nine twenty.The drive to Riverside Park took fifteen minutes on a good day. I gave myself twenty five and still sat in the car for four minutes after I parked, looking at the entrance to the playing fields. I was fifteen minutes early, which I'd told myself was about being present for Aiden and had nothing to do with wanting to arrive before Spencer.I walked through the gate and scanned the sideline.Of course Spencer was already there.He was standing about twenty feet from the halfway line with two coffees, one in each hand, talking to Valeria who was beside him with her notebook open. He was in a dark jacket, relaxed, already completely at home on the sideline of my son's soccer game the way he was completely at home everywhere that had anything to do with my children. The two of them had their heads together over something in the notebook and he was pointing at something on the page and she was nodding with the expression she used when some
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 43: I Know
Nicholas's POV My father called at eight fifteen.I was on my second coffee, still in the kitchen of my apartment, when his name came up on the screen. I looked at it for a second before answering. I answered on the third ring. Same as always."You're having breakfast," he said. "At the estate at nine thirty.""I have a call at ten...""Reschedule it." His voice was sharp.He hung up.I drove to the estate with the energy of someone who had just signed up for something and was only now beginning to understand what. I'd spent the night thinking about Scarlett's conditions. Reporting everything directly to her.I pulled through the gates and thought: I have no idea what I'm doing.The estate looked the same as it always had. Old money and older stone. I'd grown up in it and spent most of my adult life trying to feel at home in it and never quite managing.Today it felt like enemy territory which was new.My father was in his study when I arrived. He was standing at the window with his
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 42: You Said Yes
Spencer's POV I looked at her for a long moment."You said yes?" I said. "To Nicholas Cruz.""To using what he has access to." She held my gaze. "Which is different.""Is it?" I asked."Spencer...""He kissed you yesterday." I looked at her directly. "Yesterday he kissed you in a hospital corridor and today you agreed to work with him.""He came to me," she said. "I didn't go looking for him.""Of course you didn't." I sat up and moved to the edge of the bed and sat there with my elbows on my knees looking at the window. She shifted behind me. "He said he wants to help. That he has access to Konrad and Calista that we don't. That he can get into rooms and conversations that we can't reach from the outside." She paused. "He said he'd report everything directly to me.""And you believed him?" I looked at the window."I believed that he's useful," she said. "Believing him and using what he has aren't the same thing.""He knows exactly what he's doing," I said. "He's going to use this t
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 41: Something To Tell You
Spencer's POV She pushed the bedroom door open with her back. I reached past her and shut it. She reached back and locked it without looking, her eyes staying on mine the whole time.I looked at her in the dim light coming through the curtains. Still in her scrubs, hair coming loose, looking at me with those dark eyes that gave everything away when she let them.She reached up and pulled me back down to her mouth.I kissed her slowly. The way I'd been wanting to since this morning with that inch of space between us that had felt like something wider. I took my time and she let me, her hands moving up my chest, fingers working the buttons of my shirt from the top down with a focus that made thinking difficult."You're efficient," I said against her mouth."I'm a surgeon," she said. "I have good hands.""I know you do."She laughed, quiet and low, and I felt it against my lips. I pushed her scrub top off her shoulders and she shook it the rest of the way off and reached for my shirt an
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 40: Where My Mind Kept Going
Spencer's POV I dropped the kids at school at eight fifteen.Aiden got out of the car and then immediately got back in because he'd forgotten his sketchbook, then he got out again and remembered he'd left his water bottle. Third time he actually made it to the gate. He turned around and waved at me from the entrance with both arms like I was seeing him off on a ship.I waited until he disappeared through the door.Valeria had gotten out cleanly on the first try, the way she always did. She'd paused at the door though, turned back, and looked at me through the windshield for a second.I gave her a nod.She nodded back and went in.I sat in the car for a moment after. The street outside the school was doing its morning thing, other parents pulling away, a teacher propping the main door open, just an ordinary Tuesday. I put the car in drive and pulled out and told myself the tight feeling in my chest was just the morning.My office was on the fourteenth floor of a building. Floor to cei

Scarlett's POV I looked down at his hand on my arm.He followed my gaze and let go immediately, stepping back, both hands up."I'm sorry," he said quickly. "I didn't mean to...that wasn't..." He stopped. "I'm sorry.""Don't do that again," I said."I won't." He said quickly. "I'm sorry."I looked at him and he looked back, his jaw tight, something uncomfortable moving through his expression that he wasn't trying to hide."Nicholas." My voice came out flat. "I have work.""I know...""I have patients. I have files sitting on my desk that I haven't touched yet and a full day starting in twenty minutes." My voice was sharp. "So I don't have the capacity to stand in this corridor and do this with you.""I know." He said again. "I just...""You need to go home." My voice was flat."I know that too." He ran a hand through his hair. "I know. I just...can you give me two more minutes?""I don't have two minutes to give you." I know."Just two minutes." He pleaded.I looked at him for a long
