Too Late To Beg Chapter 079
WHITNEY The presentation went beautifully. I had practiced. I knew the case studies inside and out, knew exactly which research to cite, knew when to pause for emphasis and when to push forward with confidence. The panel watched with growing approval. When I finished, the applause was warm and sustained. I stepped down from the podium feeling lighter than I had in days. The waiting candidate, my supposed competition, had failed to appear. The position would be mine. The job I had been working toward, the career I had told my brother I needed without being able to explain why, would finally be mine. I had barely made my way to the side of the room when Leo Price appeared in front of me. He had not been there a moment ago. I was certain of it. His face was set in a way that made the celebration in my chest go suddenly cold. He caught my wrist. "Come with me." "Leo, what are you..." He did not let me finish. He pulled me through the side door, down the corridor,

WHITNEYTwo days in the hospital felt like a small lifetime.I had not needed to fully recover from the attack, but the doctors had insisted on observation, and Colby had insisted on agreeing with them. He visited constantly, his face drawn with a quiet, simmering fury that frightened even me."I will find them," he kept saying. "Whoever did this to you. I will not rest until I know."He had tried. I knew he had tried. He had used every connection at his disposal, every favor he could call in. But the trail had gone cold the moment those men left me on the side of the road.I was relieved.I did not want him to find them. I did not want anyone to find them before I had carried out my own revenge. Tamsin Whitmore was mine. The reckoning belonged to me alone.When I was finally discharged and brought home, I sat on the edge of my bed and pulled out my phone with a hand that shook only slightly.No missed calls from Ryan.No text messages.Two days I had been in the hospital, and my so c

LEO I waited until I was certain James would not turn back. Then I pulled out my phone and called my doctor friend. "Did you finish processing the DNA from the glass?" "And a good evening to you too, Leo. Where on earth have you been? I have been trying to reach you for two days." "I was indisposed. Tell me the results." "They are ready. I have been waiting for you to come pick them up. But you do realize how late it is, do you not? I am at home." "Then meet me at the hospital. Now." "Leo, I am a married man. My wife..." "Please. I need this tonight. Right now. I am already on my way." He sighed with the long suffering of a man who had been Leo Price's friend for too many years. "Fine. I will see you in twenty minutes. But I hope, with my entire heart, that one day you marry someone you love beyond reason, and someone calls you at this hour with a request like this." "Noted." I drove to the hospital with my mind racing through possibilities, through scenarios
Too Late To Beg Chapter 076
LEO Consciousness returned to me the way it always did after one of these episodes, slowly and reluctantly, as though my body resented being summoned back from the dark. I opened my eyes to white walls, white sheets, and the steady rhythm of a heart monitor that I belatedly realized was tracking my own pulse. A hospital. I sat up carefully, wincing at the dull throb behind my temples, and stared at the IV line taped to the back of my hand. The last thing I remembered was leaving the hospital with Colby after Whitney had been admitted. He had been beside himself with rage, swearing he would find whoever had attacked his sister, no matter the cost. We had parted ways in the parking lot, and I had driven home alone. The migraine had hit me the moment I walked through my front door. I remembered the sudden vise grip behind my eyes. The way the room had tilted. The blessed clarity that had allowed me to call my doctor before everything went black. I had not suffered an atta

TAMSIN The day of the party arrived with terrifying speed. That morning, I drove out and bought matching dresses for Hannah and myself. She had been so excited about attending, and I wanted the world to see, all at once, that I had finally found the sister I had spent so many years grieving. Twin dresses for twin sisters. But when I presented the gowns to Hannah, her face fell rather than brightened. "Oh, Tamsin." Her voice was soft with regret. "They are beautiful. But I cannot wear this." "Why not?" "Because you are Mrs. Whitmore." She spoke gently, as though explaining something obvious. "We already look so alike. If we wear matching dresses, people will talk. It would not be appropriate." "Hannah, it is just a dress." But she was firm in her refusal, and after several attempts to change her mind, I accepted defeat and went out again to find her something different. That evening, as I was finishing my hair, James had a cream colored gown delivered to my room. T

TAMSIN The morning sun filtered through the dining room windows, painting everything in soft gold. Poppy sat across from me, buttering her toast with theatrical concentration, while Hannah picked at a bowl of fresh fruit beside me. "He brought me flowers," Poppy was saying, her eyes bright with the particular glow of a woman in the early stages of falling in love. "To my desk. At work. My horrible manager actually smiled. The world is ending, clearly." Hannah laughed, leaning forward. "What does he do?" "Real estate. He is doing remarkably well too. Smart, handsome, kind." She paused, lowering her voice as though sharing a great secret. "I keep waiting for the catch. Some terrible flaw I have not yet discovered." "Do not jinx it," I said, and meant it. "You deserve someone wonderful, Poppy. After everything." For a few minutes, the conversation flowed easily, the way it used to before my life became complicated. Hannah's laughter had grown stronger over the past few days
