Marcus

I had to do something.

I sat at the kitchen table with my hands around a cold cup of tea I had forgotten to drink and turned the problem over in my mind the way I had been doing for weeks, looking for a different answer than the one I kept arriving at.

There wasn't one.

I had no money. No lawyers. No powerful friends. No leverage.

What I had was Serena.

I heard in the news this morning that Serena was admitted to the hospital.

I had no choice but to go and meet her and see if she could

    Marcus I had to do something.I sat at the kitchen table with my hands around a cold cup of tea I had forgotten to drink and turned the problem over in my mind the way I had been doing for weeks, looking for a different answer than the one I kept arriving at.There wasn't one.I had no money. No lawyers. No powerful friends. No leverage.What I had was Serena.I heard in the news this morning that Serena was admitted to the hospital.I had no choice but to go and meet her and see if she could tamper justice with mercy.And if there is still a single atom of the old Serena left — if there is any part of her that could look at me and remember who we were before it all fell apart, maybe she would listen. Maybe she would help. Not for my sake. I had given up the right to ask for anything for my sake.For God's sake.It was worth trying.It had to be worth trying.I changed into a blue shirt, drank a glass of water, and left the house.---The bus ride to St. Matthew's took forty minutes.

    Marcus "Thank you," I said to the nurse as she packed up her bag.She paused at the door and turned to look at me with kind, tired eyes."She's stable for now," she said gently. "But you need to monitor her blood pressure closely. I've written down the medications she needs — make sure she takes them twice a day, morning and evening. And Marcus—" she hesitated. "She needs proper meals. Nutritious food. Her body is weak and it needs fuel to recover.""I understand," I said. "Thank you. I'll send you the rest of what I owe you by the end of the week."She nodded without pressing me on it, and I was grateful for that small mercy.The door clicked shut behind her.I stood in the corridor for a moment with my hand flat against the wall and just breathed.Stable.She was stable. That was something. That had to be enough for today.I walked back into the room and sat on the edge of the chair beside my mother's bed. She was awake, her eyes open and fixed on the ceiling. She had aged ten year

    Serena It was past two in the morning.The hospital had gone quiet — the particular deep quiet of a building full of sleeping people, only the soft footsteps of night staff in the corridor outside.Ethan had finally set his phone down. He sat in the chair beside my bed for a moment, just looking at me. Then he stood, pulled back the blanket, and climbed into the hospital bed beside me."Ethan...""Move over." He murmured."This is a single bed in a hospital." I reminded him."Serena."I moved over.A nurse opened the door without knocking and stopped in shock when she saw Ethan.She looked at us — Ethan fully clothed, shoes still on, taking up half a bed that was not designed for two people.She drew breath to say something.Ethan looked at her coldly and she swallowed her word.She pressed her lips together, made a note on her chart, apologised and quietly pulled the door shut behind her.I settled into his side. His arm came around me, warm and solid and familiar.He placed his fre

    Serena Ethan was out of bed in one motion, his phone already in his hand. He pressed a kiss to my forehead — quick but firm, like a promise, and then he was talking."Max." His voice was low and hard. "My wife needs immediate medical attention. Pull the car around now. I want the front entrance cleared in two minutes. Call ahead to St. Matthew's, tell them we're coming and I want Dr. Mitchell contacted personally. Move."He hung up and was already pulling on clothes."James." Another call. "Wake the house. I need Elena upstairs now with a clean towel and warm water. Tell Dr. Mitchell's emergency line we are on our way."He crossed back to me, sat on the edge of the bed, and took my face in his hands."I have you," he said. Quiet. Direct. Steady as stone. "Both of you. I have you."Elena, our head housekeeper, appeared at the door within ninety seconds — flushed, wrapped in her robe, everything Ethan asked for already in her hands. She helped me while Ethan finished dressing, both of

    SerenaEthan had cut fruit for me before he left.I was picking at the strawberries when Desmond knocked."Come in."He stepped inside, tablet in one hand, folder in the other. He looked at me the way everyone had been looking at me since yesterday — carefully, like I was something fragile."Good morning, ma'am. How are you feeling?""Better. Sit down, Desmond and stop looking at me like that."He sat across from me and set his things on the coffee table."I wanted to check on you personally first," he said. "Yesterday shook everyone at the office.""I'm fine," I said. "Talk to me about work. That actually helps."He nodded and opened his tablet."Uhm.... Ma'am, Lawrence Global had three new collaboration requests coming this week. The most significant one is from Meridian Properties, a Singapore firm. They're serious players. Regional expansion deal, and they want to structure it around us. Their legal team sent a full proposal."I set down my fork. "What are the terms?""Very favora

    Ethan Ashford I reached for my phone to call Daniel.That's when Katherine's phone rang.She answered immediately."Ross." A pause. Her face didn't move, but her eyes changed. "Send it to my secure server. Right now."She hung up and looked at me."That was my tech analyst," she said. "She finished tracing the IP address from the threatening text your wife received.""And?" I asked.Katherine held my gaze."It didn't originate from Dave Harrison's location," she said. "The cell tower proximity was coincidental, or manufactured. The text was routed through a VPN, but my analyst stripped the layers."She paused."The IP address traces back to Lawrence Global headquarters."The world went very still.Lawrence Global?My mind was already moving, cataloguing, calculating — when my phone buzzed.A message from Mathew Reeves, one of my perimeter guards posted on the north side of the property. Ex-military. Fifteen years in private security. A man who did not rattle easily.The message read:

    SerenaThe few days to the wedding was a whirlwind of activity.The wedding planner, Madame Dubois, arrived from Paris the day after Ethan's proposal or re-proposal, I suppose.She was an elegant woman in her fifties with impeccable taste and a no-nonsense attitude."We have one week," she said bri

The tables were draped in ivory silk,

    Marcus "When is the wedding?" my mother asked, picking up the invitation."One week from today," she read. "Oh my, that's quite soon, isn't it?""It's suspicious," Victoria said. "Why would they rush into marriage unless she trapped him somehow? Maybe she's pregnant. Maybe she's blackmailing him."
