TAMSIN

The police officers approached me with the kind of professional detachment that suggested they had done this hundreds of times before and saw nothing particularly noteworthy about arresting yet another person on yet another charge.

"Tamsin Whitmore?" one of them asked, though it was clearly a formality since Isla had already pointed me out.

"Yes," I said, my voice coming out steadier than I felt.

"You are under arrest for assault and battery, criminal trespass, and attempted feti

Really, checkmate indeed! Isla had that coming and I'm so happy she's been arrested.

  • Too Late To Beg   Chapter 036

    LEO I made all the necessary arrangements, including having my lawyer obtain the proper court orders from my judge friend and position himself at the station where Tamsin would be taken. When I went to drop Tamsin off at Poppy's apartment that evening, I acted as though nothing unusual was about to happen. And then the police arrived right on schedule. I had to make sure Tamsin did not fight them. She was exhausted and upset, and I could see the defiance building in her eyes when they tried to handcuff her. The last thing she needed was an additional charge of resisting arrest. "Trust me," I had whispered to her. "Something is about to happen." When she finally agreed to cooperate, I felt a wave of relief so powerful it was almost physical. Everything went according to plan after that. The video evidence. The reversal. Isla's arrest. Tamsin's vindication. Now, back at Poppy's apartment with everything resolved, Tamsin actually let me inside instead of keeping me on the doo

  • Too Late To Beg   Chapter 035

    LEO I sat in my office reviewing case documents that had nothing to do with Tamsin's divorce and everything to do with keeping my mind occupied so I would not call her every five minutes like some lovesick teenager. The truth was, I wanted to hear her voice. Wanted to know if she had slept well after everything that had happened. Wanted to ask how she was feeling after the mall drama yesterday. Wanted to check if she needed anything at all. But I had already shown up at her door unannounced the previous night and pulled her into an embrace that probably crossed several boundaries. The last thing I needed was to come across as clingy or desperate, even though both descriptions were embarrassingly accurate. I picked up my phone three times before finally setting it down and forcing myself to focus on the contract dispute in front of me. Instead, I called the men I had hired to keep an eye on Tamsin. I knew she would be furious if she discovered I had people following her. Would

    JAMES I got in my car and drove to the address I knew was Poppy's apartment, where Tamsin was staying. The drive took less than twenty minutes, but it felt like hours with my thoughts spinning in endless, punishing circles. When I arrived, I pulled into a spot across the street where I had a clear view of the building's entrance and the lit windows on the third floor. But I could not bring myself to get out of the car. I sat there in the darkness, my hands still gripping the steering wheel, staring at the building like some kind of pathetic stalker who could not accept that he had lost everything that mattered. Rain had started falling at some point during the drive. Light at first, then heavier, until water streamed down the windshield in sheets that blurred the world outside into nothing but shadows and refracted light. I watched the windows of Poppy's apartment and replayed everything Tamsin had said to me. How we were done. How she would never forgive me. How I

  • Too Late To Beg   Chapter 033

    JAMES I sat in my car outside the police station for a long time after watching Tamsin leave with that bastard lawyer of hers, my hands gripping the steering wheel hard enough to make my knuckles white. Everything she had said to me kept playing on repeat in my mind like some kind of torture device designed specifically to make me feel like the worst husband who ever lived. The problem was, she had a point. The Tamsin I had known, the woman I had married, could never be vicious enough to hire men to assault a pregnant woman. That woman had been kind. Gentle. Incapable of deliberate cruelty. But then again, there had been that one time when Tamsin had asked me to terminate Isla's pregnancy. At the time, Tamsin herself had been expecting our child. What was I supposed to think when my pregnant wife suggested getting rid of another woman's baby? I drove home in a daze, my head pounding from the combination of stress and the massive hangover I was still nursing from last nig

    TAMSIN The police officers approached me with the kind of professional detachment that suggested they had done this hundreds of times before and saw nothing particularly noteworthy about arresting yet another person on yet another charge. "Tamsin Whitmore?" one of them asked, though it was clearly a formality since Isla had already pointed me out. "Yes," I said, my voice coming out steadier than I felt. "You are under arrest for assault and battery, criminal trespass, and attempted feticide. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." The words washed over me like ice water. Attempted feticide. They were accusing me of trying to kill Isla's unborn child. I stood there frozen, unable to process what was happening, unable to reconcile the reality of police officers reading me my rights with the fact that I was the victim in this entire situation. Poppy came running out of the apartment building, her face fl

  • Too Late To Beg   Chapter 031

    TAMSIN I stood there staring at the woman blocking Leo's doorway, a woman who had just introduced herself as his fiancée with all the territorial hostility of someone guarding valuable property. My brain, already exhausted from everything that had happened today, refused to process this new information in any coherent way. Fiancée. Leo had a fiancée. Of course he did. Because apparently my life had not contained enough betrayal and disappointment for one twenty-four-hour period. I turned and began walking away without another word. I did not have the energy to deal with this situation. Did not have the emotional capacity to stand here and demand explanations or engage in some kind of confrontation with a woman I had never met about a man I had just slept with under extremely dubious circumstances. I walked past Doctor Smith and Leo, who were still deep in conversation near the doctor's car, and headed straight for my own vehicle. I had just reached for the door handle when I

    TAMSIN I looked down at my menu and traced my finger along the edge, pretending to study the lunch specials with far more interest than they deserved. I didn't bother to look up or acknowledge Isla's presence, though I could feel her standing beside my table like a storm cloud gathering strength.

    TAMSIN For a moment it felt as if time itself had stopped, as if the universe was playing a cosmic joke on me and had picked the worst possible timing to deliver the punchline. No, there was no way I was laughing at this. I took another step back, my pulse racing, memories rushing in like uncontr

    TAMSIN I stared at the building in front of us, my brows drawing together in confusion. "What are we doing here?" I asked. Leo said nothing. He simply got out of the car, walked around to my side, and opened my door. I did not move. "I asked you a question." "And I will answer it inside." He h

    TAMSIN "Missed who?" I stared at him and waited for an answer, but he said nothing, just looked at me with that infuriating half-smile that used to make my stomach flip and now made me want to throw something at his head. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and took a step back. "What are
