MORGANA FOSTERI stormed into the room, slamming the door behind me. I couldn't believe Ryan's capacity for hypocrisy. I loved him for three years of my life, and now that I found a decent person, he tells me he ended things with Elena because he likes me? Ridiculous!"I'm a joke to fate, it must be!" I thought, laughing at my own misfortune.I entered the bathroom now with my head swirling with emotions. I touched my lips, feeling traces of his mouth still there. Damn."He had to kiss me? That makes things so much more complicated," I murmured, staring at the wall dampened by steam. "Now I have two problems boiling in my head. Elliot and Ryan."The sound of the water falling was reassuring, it helped calm my mind and the whirlwind of emotions from the last twenty-four hours. I stepped out of the shower, drying my hair with the towel, when I saw Ryan sitting on my bed, calm and serene as if that were his natural habitat.I still hadn't put on clothes, just the robe and the lingerie I h

RYAN BURKEI was interrupted in the middle of a meeting by one of the assistants knocking insistently on the door. "Come in," I said, furrowing my brow and displaying my total discontent with the interruption.She entered, trembling, walking unsteadily. "Mr. Burke? There's a man calling from a hospital," she said, her voice faltering, " she said you're the contact for a patient there."Hospital? Who could be calling me? "Which hospital?" I furrowed my brow, intrigued."San Rose, sir." – She said."Put the call through." I said. She left, and the phone beside me rang almost instantly. The little doctor from the other night was on the line; a feeling of disgust filled the air. Then he said Morgana had been in an accident. I felt my veins run cold. My wife was in trouble and depended on me. Screw the meeting.I stood up, apologizing, and hurriedly left the room. I looked at the assistant and asked her to cancel all the appointments for that afternoon. I needed to be available if my wife n

MORGANA FOSTERTWENTY-FIVE DAYS LATERI opened my eyes, trying to process the surroundings. The lights were bright, the beeps of the heart monitor echoing in the room. A strong buzzing in my ears. I woke up feeling my head ache, probably the effect of the anesthesia wearing off, a taste of blood invading my throat, my hands and arms with all sorts of venous accesses, one of my legs suspended and bandaged. My abdomen was also bandaged and sore.I didn't die in the accident, but that didn't mean I was okay. I moved my eyes, mapping everything out, and saw Sorya lying on the couch beside me. Then I knew I was safe. I tried to move in the bed, without success, saw the door open and Ryan's toned body emerge. His eyes were staring at me, his beautiful blue eyes wide open, as somber and distant as I remembered.How many days had passed, I still didn't know. He walked along the bed and held my hand, his fingers were so warm and comforting. I tried to muster a smile, but I'm not sure of the eff

RYAN BURKEShe still wanted the divorce. I sighed tiredly. Even after this accident, even after everything I did to save her life. She still wants to leave me. And I can't let that happen! I don't want it to happen. Being close to her in this most critical moment, where I almost lost her to death, jolted me into thinking about what I feel for her. I sat on the couch next to her and continued to review the latest projects of the company.Nearly two weeks away, and I needed to catch up to prepare and take on the new projects. I've received several persistent calls from Elena these days; she came here once last week. I didn't go out to speak with her and ordered James not to allow her approach. I know exactly what she wants from me.I had no way of taking her back into my life. If I did that, I could say goodbye to everything I was planning with Morgana. She would never stay with me if I had any connection with Elena, and I can't take that risk now. I hope deep down she understands. Morga

MORGANA FOSTERTwo weeks later, she was still recovering."I didn't feel comfortable with Ryan's departure. In recent days, he was solely focused on the company," Sorya told me everything he did for me and how he stayed here to take care of me in the previous weeks. I noticed he was thinner; perhaps taking care of his diet wasn't his priority.I felt foolish for not seeing his effort, but I couldn't let feelings bloom in my heart again; I needed to be sane to get out of this relationship. We married for a contract, a marriage of convenience, without feelings, but I broke that rule in the first year, and he broke my heart always choosing to stay by Elena's side.So why would I keep having feelings now?Days in that hospital. Ryan had returned to the company and visited me a few times. More often when Elliot started coming to see me after his shifts.After that day he left for a meeting, he didn't stay around much longer, always receiving mysterious calls and leaving. James came to visit
