    SADIE’S POV.I never thought the world could feel this quiet.The resort at Belmare looks different in daylight—softer, gentler. The last time we stayed here, Damon and I were strangers with matching last names and nothing else.Now… the air feels warmer, the sea calmer, as if it remembers us.The ceremony is small. Private. Exactly what I wanted but never dared to imagine I’d get.White chairs lined on the sand, soft floral arrangements drifting in the seaside breeze, and the ocean stretching out behind the reverend like a blessing I didn’t know I’d been waiting for.It’s perfect. Perfect for me.Daven looks adorable in his tiny tux, his hair combed neatly to one side even though he keeps trying to mess it up with his hands. M

  • The Stranger My Heart Belonged To   128. Love Before Memories.

    DAMON’S POVThe fluorescent lights hit me like knives the moment we step into the emergency wing—too bright, too clean, too calm for the hell we’ve just crawled out of.Nurses swarm us instantly, eyes widening at the blood soaking through my shirt—my blood—but I push past them long enough to get Sadie and Daven into seats.“Take care of them first,” I bark.“Sir, you need immediate—”“I said take care of them first.”The sound of my voice must register as a warning because they obey immediately, no questions.Sadie grabs my wrist.Her fingers tremble, but her grip is iron. “Damon, stop. Let them help you.”I look at her—her tear-s

For a second I was weightless—falling straight into hell.Theo’s scream reached me first. He spun, gun snapping upward.I hit the ground in a roll—hard, brutal, bone-rattling—and came up with my gun raised.“SADIE, GET DOWN!”Gunfire exploded through the hangar as the police stormed in from the breach above, rappelling with military precision.But I only saw one thing.Theo’s hand clamps around my son’s wrist—yanking

He choked, staggered—my fists already slamming into his ribs, his jaw—raw, bare-handed violence, because they’d stripped my gun the moment they dragged us out of the car in the basement.He collapsed, wheezing.
