While Marrying Mr. Steele Chapter 79 — The Storm
POV: EthanThe storm came in faster than any of us expected.Marco and I were standing near the back veranda, going over the last of the plans for our early departure, when the first roll of thunder cracked overhead. By the time we stepped into the courtyard, the wind had already whipped itself into a frenzy.Marco cursed under his breath, gesturing toward the staff who were rushing to pull in cushions and board up the outdoor shutters."You mind giving a hand?" he called over the howl of the wind. "We’ll have this sorted in twenty minutes.""Of course," I said, tugging my jacket tighter and limping across the slick stones to help one of the younger staff wrestle down a patio umbrella.It wasn’t until the first sheet of rain came down that I noticed her.Sienna, standing at the far side of the courtyard beneath the overhang, her arms folded tight over her chest. Her dress—black, sleeveless, clinging—seemed wholly impractical for the weather, though knowing her, that was the point.She
While Marrying Mr. Steele Chapter 78 — The Uninvited
POV: AmeliaI woke up late.The faint clink of plates and laughter that usually drifted up from the kitchen in the mornings was absent, replaced by an eerie hush that settled over the villa like a heavy sheet.For a few seconds I lay there staring at the ceiling, still half-asleep, still caught in that strange fog that hadn’t lifted since the miscarriage. I could feel it in my limbs, that dragging weight, making everything I did feel slower, clumsier, like I wasn’t quite here at all.When I finally pushed myself up and swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my chest ached. From what, I couldn’t even say anymore.The villa was quiet when I padded downstairs. The faint scent of coffee had already gone cold.On the counter was a folded note in Ethan’s neat handwriting.‘Had to step out with Marco. Handling some arrangements so we can head home soon. Rest. I’ll be back shortly.’I read it twice, my eyes catching on the word home before I set it back down.I wasn’t sure I even knew where
While Marrying Mr. Steele Chapter 77 — The Request
Amelia's pov I woke in my own bed the next morning, startled for a moment to find myself here.The sheets smelled faintly of lavender and sea air, sun-warmed from yesterday, though the room was still cool. I stretched my legs under the covers, testing them. They didn’t feel like they belonged to me yet, but they moved. That was something.I’d expected to lie awake most of the night, but somehow sleep had claimed me anyway — deeper and longer than I’d thought possible.And now, in the strange quiet of the villa, it felt almost obscene to have slept so well.The silence was the worst part. The house was too big, too still. Every faint creak of wood or sigh of wind through the balcony doors sounded louder here.By the time sunlight crept across the floor, I couldn’t lie there anymore.I got up.Showered.Dressed in the simplest things I owned — soft black pants, a pale sweater, flats. My hair went into a low knot at the base of my neck. No makeup. I couldn’t bear to see my own reflectio
While Marrying Mr. Steele Chapter 76 – What’s Left Unsaid
Ethan's pov "You’re medically cleared to go home today, Mr. Steele. You can take her any time this afternoon."The doctor said it like he was telling me good news, and I forced a polite nod to match the weight of his tone. My hand was already on Amelia’s shoulder as she sat on the edge of the hospital bed, back straight, hands folded loosely in her lap.Her expression didn’t change."Thank you, Doctor," she said, her voice flat but not unkind."You’ll want to keep an eye on the bleeding," he continued, flipping through his chart. "Light walking around the house is fine. No heavy lifting. Rest as much as you can the next few days. And… well, if you feel you’d benefit from counseling, we can recommend someone.""I understand."Her tone was clipped. Final. The doctor hesitated, then gave me a faint nod and left.When the door clicked shut, I crouched a little so I could meet her eye."You sure you’re ready?" I asked."Yes.""If you’d rather stay another night, I can—""No. I’m ready."H
While Marrying Mr. Steele Chapter 75: All the Things We Don’t Say
Amelia's pov "I didn’t cry."That’s the first lie I told myself.But the second the door shut behind him, and I was alone in that white hospital room, I broke.Hot, silent tears slid into my hair as I stared at the ceiling and gripped the stiff sheets so hard my knuckles ached.When Ethan came back, I’d already wiped my face. He carried two water bottles. He set one on the table, twisting the cap for me without looking up."Here. Drink when you can.""Thank you," I murmured, my throat dry.His head lifted, just slightly. His eyes scanned mine like he could see what I wasn’t saying, then dropped again. He sat, leaning forward, elbows on his knees, his hands clasped together."You should’ve told me sooner," he muttered."I didn’t know it would get that bad," I said."It doesn’t matter. You should’ve told me.""You weren’t here," I shot back, sharper than I meant.His head came up fully then. "Don’t start.""Why not?"His jaw flexed. "Because I’m here now. That’s what matters.""Is it?"
While Marrying Mr. Steele Chapter 74– What Breaks Us
Amelia's pov "Don’t put me down… please."That’s what I remember saying. Or maybe just thinking.But Ethan held me tighter anyway, his arms like steel and shaking all at once as he carried me through the villa’s hallway.His breath was ragged above me, his voice cracking every few seconds as he shouted for someone—anyone—to help.I was so cold. My head lolled against his chest, and the faint smell of his cologne clung to me, sharp and expensive, mixed now with the coppery tang of blood.I blinked once and saw the hallway lights blur into stars.The next time my eyes opened, we were in a room I didn’t recognize—smaller than ours, with a narrow bed already stripped bare and a man in a white coat rolling up his sleeves."Here. Lay her down here."I felt the sudden chill of the sheets beneath me as Ethan lowered me onto the bed, one hand still cupping the back of my head like I might break completely without him.He knelt beside me, his cane forgotten somewhere behind him, his face pale a
