LOGINREVALevi turned to me as soon as I walked into the room, and I realized I was right: he was angry again.He spoke before I could, asking if I could believe Hunter had dug up Danielle's information with the help of the police and used it to blackmail her.I asked what information he was referring to, and my question came out sharper than I had intended. I also realized my reaction lacked the concern it should have. But I couldn't help but think about everything I'd just discovered, drowning out everything else.I could no longer see Danielle as a victim, only as a manipulative, sick bitch who nearly destroyed Levi's life—our lives. She responded before Levi could, her voice trembling as she explained that she had been homeless in New York.She began crying as she explained that she had told Levi her ex-husband had taken everything, but she had never told him she didn't even have a place to live. She claimed she was ashamed, and Hunter discovered the truth and threatened to expose her
REVAI whispered a quiet thank you as James handed me a small tray containing disinfectant, gauze, and ointment for Levi's hands before walking away and leaving us alone.I stood there for a moment, trying to calm myself before approaching him. We were now alone, with the other doctors having left, and Levi sat on the edge of the chair, shoulders tense, face in his hands.Moving closer, I stepped between his legs and gently reached for his hands, prompting him to look at me. His eyes were red, and I softly asked to see his knuckles.But instead of handing them to me, he took my hands instead and apologized. He said he did not want me to see him that way, adding that he hadn't meant to lose control. And I immediately shook my head, stopping him.I admitted that seeing him like that scared me. But I also told him I understood. Without saying anything else, I wrapped my arms around him, and he held on just as tightly, pressing his face into my stomach while I felt slight tremors running
LEVIEverything inside me stopped when I saw the blood, and I ran down the hallway, Reva right behind me, calling Danielle's name as my heart slammed against my ribs.Dread tightened around my chest with each step as we spread and called out, checking each bedroom but finding nothing. I called her phone, but it rang in one of the bedrooms, sitting abandoned on the bed.It soon became clear that Danielle wasn't in the apartment. Reva immediately took out her phone and said she would start calling hospitals, and I thanked her distractedly while simultaneously activating the security system.Every property I owned had cameras installed, and I could access all of the footage from my phone in case of an emergency.The blood on the floor still seemed fresh, which meant whatever happened here was recent. Pulling up the footage, I adjusted the time, and a sick feeling ran through me before Danielle appeared onscreen, moving toward the front door.I didn’t have cameras inside the bed and bathr
DANIELLEMy legs gave out beneath me before I could even take another step. And I crashed to the floor, crying out as another cramp tore through my abdomen. The pain became unbearable, and my entire body shook as the blood continued down my legs.“No," I sobbed helplessly. “Please, no..."The phone lay a few feet away, where Hunter had knocked it from my grasp earlier. And I dragged myself toward it, my palms slipping against the floor as tears blurred my vision to the point where I could barely see. The room continued to spin around me, and the panic made it impossible to breathe properly.Finally reaching the phone, my hands were trembling as I dialed 911. The moment the operator answered, I completely broke down, barely able to speak through my sobbing. I told them I was pregnant and bleeding.She tried to calm me down while asking for my address, but I was already hysterical. I kept begging them to hurry while also pleading with God not to take my baby.The minutes waiting for the
DANIELLE I stared at my phone for what seemed like the hundredth time before putting it back beside me on the bed. There were no messages from Levi, and disappointment crept back into my chest. I had specifically asked Michelle not to tell him about what had happened to me, but a selfish part of me hoped she would ignore my request. I wanted him to know, so he would be concerned enough to show up at my door and remind me that I was still important to him in some way. However, it was becoming painfully obvious that Michelle had not told him anything, or worse, she told him, but he chose not to come. The thought quickly turned bitter, and I swallowed hard as resentment crept back in. Michelle clearly preferred Reva for Levi. It didn't matter that I was carrying the Price family heir or that she had known me since I was a child. She had still chosen that bitch just as Levi had. I reached for my bowl and shoveled another spoonful of polenta into my mouth, forcing myself to eat despi
REVAThe rest of the morning was a blur of patients and paperwork. And I made a mental note to check on Levi. We'd spoken shortly after his mother left. He had just met with a lawyer, who informed him that Hunter could be held accountable even if Alan had directly paid the bribe.Hunter was aware of the scheme, remained involved, and expected to profit from it, so prosecutors could build a case based on conspiracy, corruption-related offenses, and fraud participation.Levi stated that conspiracy to commit fraud would be the most serious charge. I couldn't imagine how foolish he would feel after being arrested, as I was sure he believed that nothing could implicate him since he wasn't directly involved in the rigging process. Otherwise, I doubt he'd have come forward, no matter how angry he was with his lover.I'd finished with the patient and was about to check on the next one when I heard someone speak behind me. The voice sounded familiar enough to make me turn around and see the w
REVA“Ready?" Levi asked from the doorway, and I turned away from the mirror while fixing the hem of my sweater. We were about to go out for lunch and then hit the slopes, much to Matt and Levi's delight. I had never skied before, and I was nervous, but there was something exciting about it, like
REVALevi stood there, his skis propped haphazardly against a tree and his jacket unzipped, while his gaze fixed on me with an intensity that made my breath catch all over again. “Levi-" I spoke again, my voice trembling as I looked into his dark, hungry eyes, as if he could see right through the
REVA A scream tore out of me as Nikolai's fingers clamped around my throat, but Nikki's voice echoed behind us before the sound had even fully left my lips. He released me instantly, stepping back like he’d been burned, just as Nikki rushed forward, eyes wide. “Are you okay?” I kept my eyes
LEVI I stumbled toward the ship’s railings, the night air hitting my face sharply enough to jolt me but not nearly enough to clear the chaos inside my head. The noise from the party faded behind me, muffled into a distant hum as I gripped the railing hard enough for my knuckles to ache. I was on
