Scarlett's POV

Spencer drove while I sat in the passenger seat.

I looked out the window and said nothing and he didn't push me to say anything.

The city moved past the window. People on the streets doing their Friday evening things, completely indifferent to what had happened four floors up in a hospital surgical corridor three hours ago. Traffic lights. A woman walking a dog. Two kids on bikes. All of it ordinary and unreachable feeling.

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 72: Somewhere Safe

    Scarlett's POV Spencer drove while I sat in the passenger seat.I looked out the window and said nothing and he didn't push me to say anything. The city moved past the window. People on the streets doing their Friday evening things, completely indifferent to what had happened four floors up in a hospital surgical corridor three hours ago. Traffic lights. A woman walking a dog. Two kids on bikes. All of it ordinary and unreachable feeling.I pressed my fingers against the cold of the window glass.Three steps. I'd been three steps from that door.I'd been thinking about Agent Ashfield's face when I said we finish it together and I'd been thinking about getting through one more surgery at the end of a long day and I had been three steps from that door and if Miles hadn't called.If Nicholas hadn't run.I pressed my fingers harder against the glass.Spencer's hand came across the console and covered mine briefly. He didn't say anything. Then he put his hand back on the wheel.I looked

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 71: It Wasn't An Accident

    Scarlett's POV I'd been running on four hours of sleep since Thursday morning.The federal meeting had ended at eleven twenty. I'd gotten home, eaten something Spencer put in front of me without asking what I wanted, sat at the kitchen table with the case file for two hours, and been in bed by one. My alarm went off at five thirty and I was at the hospital by six forty five because Friday was a surgery day and surgery days didn't move for federal meetings or love triangles or any of the rest of it.The OR waited for nothing.That was the part I'd always loved about it.Lauren found me at the scrub sink at twelve forty."Malcolm prep is done," she said. "Room's ready. Anaesthesia is already in there." She handed me the updated chart. "How are you feeling?""I'm fine," I said.She looked at me."Lauren," I said."You've been in a federal building since nine AM and now you're about to open someone's chest," she said. "I'm allowed to ask.""I'm fine," I said. "How's the patient.""Stable

  • Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor    Chapter 70: Take Care Of It

    Nicholas's POV The three of us barely said a word on the drive back from Fifth Avenue Street.Scarlett sat in the front with Spencer. I sat in the back. The city moved past the windows and nobody said anything that wasn't logistical, where to drop me, which route, whether Richard would call today or tomorrow.Spencer pulled up outside my building at eleven fifty.I got out. Scarlett turned slightly in her seat and looked at me through the window. Not warmly. Not coldly. Just steadily, the way she looked at things she was still processing."I'll be in touch," she said."Sure," I said.Spencer pulled away.I stood on the pavement and watched the car until it turned the corner, then I went inside.I changed out of my suit and made coffee and sat at my desk and tried to work through the Singapore notes I'd made the night before. The words kept moving. I'd read the same paragraph four times without retaining a single line of it when my phone rang.I looked at the screen.My mother.I look

    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

    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
