Gwen

Paranoia, fear, or maybe just the want for unfortunate circumstances. I had no idea which it was. But I sure as hell was going to enjoy the peace of the moment before the storm that followed the calm.

What I had done in the spur of the moment had been crazy and had shocked even me. But I had not been pressured to. I had wanted it. I wanted some sort of release that I could give and not receive. In a way, it grounded me, making it easier to breathe through the stress.

But now, I lay awake o

    GwenI turned to Elias the moment Alex was out of earshot, my composure already fraying at the edges. "I need to use the bathroom," I said, and walked away before he could stop me.He caught up anyway, falling into step beside me for the few feet before I reached the corridor. "Did I cross a line?" he asked, and to his credit, he actually sounded uncertain about it."Yes," I said, not slowing down. "Next time, tell me before you decide to announce an engagement I know nothing about. I don't want to send the wrong idea. To him, or to you."Something flickered across his face, hurt, quick and genuine, gone almost as fast as it appeared, tucked back behind the easy charm he wore like armor. "Understood," he said, quieter now.I softened, just slightly, because I did care about him, even if not in the way he wanted. "Elias, I value what we have. I don't want anything to complicate it. That's all I'm asking."He nodded, accepting it with more grace than I probably deserved, and let me go w

    GwenI hadn't always been this woman.The thought crossed my mind more often than I let myself admit, usually in quiet moments like this one, standing backstage before a press conference, waiting for my cue while I ran through talking points I could recite in my sleep. Sometimes it felt like Janessa Cooley had been built from scratch, piece by careful piece, over the wreckage of a woman who'd once fainted in the back of a car outside a press conference gone catastrophically wrong.I'd left the city with nothing but a duffel bag, a dying marriage's worth of debt, and a pregnancy no one but me knew about. I hadn't planned much beyond simply getting away. I certainly hadn't planned on the truck that ran the red light three months later, the one that had crumpled the side of my rental car and sent me through a windshield in a small town I'd only stopped in for gas.I still didn't remember most of the accident itself. What I remembered was waking up in a private hospital room I couldn't af

    AlexThe dark was doing things to my mind that it had no business doing.She was still in my hands, close enough that I could feel the warmth of her through the thin fabric of her top, close enough that her breath brushed against my collarbone. For a moment the rest of the gym ceased to exist. The emergency lighting, the scattered voices, the locked doors… all of it faded under the simple fact of her weight against me.I should have let go the second she was steady.I didn’t.My fingers stayed firm around her arms, and some reckless, poorly buried part of me catalogued everything at once, the faint scent of her skin mixed with clean sweat, the way her pulse jumped under my hold, the fact that she hadn’t immediately shoved me away. Six years should have dulled this. It hadn’t. If anything, the years had only made the pull sharper.Then the lights slammed back on.Bright. Sudden. Unforgiving.The illusion broke instantly.Janessa stepped back as if burned, putting clear space between us

    GwenIt was a new week and I had gone on my routine gym workout. I went earlier this time as I did not want any fated run-ins with Mr you know who. An hour and I was out of there.He was a man of routine and he scarcely changed things. I would have changed my gym station but I just moved, just paid and the gym was the closest to where I lived. The others were few and far between. Right now, if I had mere suspicions that he was stalking me, it had been reinforced. He was dressed in long shorts and a tank, which gave me my first look in a while at his bare arms and legs. I came to an abrupt halt and someone coming out behind me bumped into me. I could barely manage an apology; I was too busy visually raping the one man I wanted to avoiy. His legs were toned and powerful, flawlessly proportional to his trim hips and waist. His arms made my mouth water. His biceps were precisely cut and his forearms were coursing with thick veins that were both brutal looking and sexy as hell. He’d put

    GwenI held Emris close, breathing in the familiar smell of him, crayons and sunscreen and his milky baby smell that he had not still grown out of. This was the one part of my day that never required strategy or composure. This, at least, was real. Whatever else I'd built or destroyed or calculated my way through, this small, warm weight in my arms was the one good, uncomplicated thing that had come out of the wreckage of my past."Did you have a good day?" I murmured against his hair."The best day," he said, pulling back just enough to grin up at me, missing the same front tooth his classmates seemed to be collectively losing this month. "I made a friend. He's really cool."Before I could ask anything else, a childish voice rang out across the courtyard."Emris!"My son twisted in my arms, waving excitedly toward whoever had called him, already bouncing with the kind of pure delight only a five-year-old could summon. "That's him! That's my friend!"I followed his gaze, still smili

    AlexI watched her back disappear into the building before I finally turned away.The exchange left a sharp, unsettled feeling under my skin. My heart remained restless, beating wildly in my chest as I made my way towards the venue if the meeting. No woman had ever made me feel this way before. Janessa Cooley didn’t do anything without purpose. The land acquisition had already proven that. Running into her outside a primary school only deepened the question I couldn’t shake.What the hell was she doing here? Could this I checked the time and started toward the main building. My sister had called that morning in the same breezy, unapologetic tone she always used whenever her husband was out of town.“Alex, be a dear and collect him after the parent session? I have a late meeting and Daniel’s still in Singapore.”Same request. Different day. She had a talent for turning me into a convenient stand-in the moment her schedule filled up. I wasn’t angry about it. I never really was. Spend

    Gwen’s POV. Even in a hall filled with people chattering and soft music playing, the silence that descended on us was deafening and the tension in the air as Raymond and I stared at each other was so intense, thick enough for someone to choke on. Suddenly, a blonde haired woman that I hadn’t ev

    Gwen’s POV. For a full week, I managed to avoid Dr. Alex. It was difficult given how we were now working on a charity project together but it was all I could do to avoid having to apologize for calling him a pervert in the elevator. Everyone loved him in the hospital, patients always wanted h

    Gwen’s POV. “Ugh, my arms are about to fall off.” I grumbled to myself as I struggled to balance the heavy boxes of donated toys stacked up in my arms. The corners of the boxes were digging into my palms and I could feel a painful cramp in my shoulders. It’s been one year since I walked out of

    Gwen’s POV. “Three months,” Dr. Evans' firm voice filled my ears, “without intervention, you have at most, three months left to live, Mrs. Carvers.” Those words landed like a blow, knocking the air right out of my lungs as my eyes dropped to my hands clenched tightly on my thighs. It didn’t mat
