Chapter 90AureliaThe cab ride home took eleven minutes, and I spent every one of them looking out the window instead of at my own reflection in the glass, because I already knew what I'd find there if I looked. Something cracked. Something that didn't look nearly as steady as I needed it to look.I got inside, dropped my bag by the door, and stood in the middle of my own living room for a long moment, waiting for the tears to come the way they always threatened to on nights like this.They didn't come. I wouldn't let them.Crying was for people who still believed the version of themselves that had walked into that apartment five years ago and expected an apology out of it. I wasn't her anymore. I refused to be her, not over a speech, not over a painting.But I hated them. God, I hated them tonight more than I think I'd hated them for years.I hated that it had only taken him a handful of words to get under my skin like that, standing there in front of people, turning our worst day

Chapter 92AureliaThe first thing I noticed was the smell.Antiseptic, and the specific hum of hospital lighting that never quite goes fully quiet even in the middle of the night. For one disorienting second I wasn't twenty-eight years old waking up from an accident I'd planned myself. I was twenty-three again, strapped to a different bed in a different room, listening to a monitor count out a heartbeat that hadn't only been mine to lose.I remembered the ceiling tiles from that room too, a water stain shaped like nothing in particular that I'd stared at for hours because it was easier than looking at anyone's face. I remembered a hand on my shoulder, and a silence afterward that had lasted longer than any silence had any right to last.I pushed the memory down before it could finish forming. I didn't have room for it right now, not on top of everything else my body seemed to be trying to tell me all at once.A monitor beeped somewhere to my left, steady and unbothered, and an IV

Chapter 94DreyvenI walked inside and saw her laying there peacefully. Pipes and wire surrounded her like if one is pulled out, she wouldn't survive.The thought broke something in me as I stared at her.Why did she come to the race, I couldn't help but wonder.Someone like her isn't careless that she wouldn't look before crossing. So how did she get hit.I couldn't put how I was feeling, just wanted to call my brothers. I needed to hear their voices.The doctor and the nurse came in after me immediately, politely asking me to step out from the room.I didn't argue, I had no strength left for it. So I nodded and walked out, but not after staring at her one last time........This was the fourth night I'd fallen asleep in that hospital, and every single time, I woke up with a stiff neck and the same sick feeling sitting low in my stomach, the kind that doesn't go away just because you open your eyes.I'd been staying in the family room down the hall since the night I brought her in, g

Chapter 96AureliaI watched the way Dreyven's hands went still immediately the words came out from his mouth.He'd acted out of emotions and he hated it. But he can't do anything because men like him pride in keeping to their words.Still didn't mean that Sienna wouldn't try to say something stupid, I needed to beat her to it."I do not think it's okay." I said with the most pitiful voice I could gather. I turned my head to the doctor and gave him a puppy look, the voice still doing it's work."Or is it doctor? Can I stay at their place, since this gentleman right here has decided to assist?"The doctor cleared his throat."It's okay actually. As long as they promise to take good care of you and employ a nurse, then that'll be okay.""We can assign three nurses to her, while I and my brothers would care for her if we're available." The doctor nods and said something about needing a few minutes alone with Dreyven to go over the details, paperwork, insurance, all the boring parts nobo

Chapter 98 AureliaI watched the chef carry the plates away, and even after the kitchen doors swung shut behind her, I could still feel Dreyven's eyes on me.He'd been quiet since we arrived...unusually quiet... and somehow that silence irritated me more than his questions ever did. I kept my gaze fixed on the kitchen, pretending to care what the staff were doing in there, because the last thing I needed was for him to study my face and see something I wasn't ready to show him.Especially not now.He still believed I was broken. That was exactly what I needed him to believe."Are you really hungry?" His voice came quietly from beside me. I glanced at him for a second, then looked away again."No." His gaze lingered a beat too long. "You haven't eaten since we left the hospital.""I said I'm not hungry."Something flickered across his expression... subtle, the kind of thing most people would miss. I didn't. He was worried, but not in the panicked way people usually got. It was the
