Chapter 181

CASSIANThe spoon shook just a little as I lifted it to Ivy’s lips. I had cooled the soup with my breath, the way I used to when she was small and feverish. She opened her mouth without thinking, swallowed, and gave me the smallest nod of thanks. Her eyes were cloudy from the medicine, but they weren’t angry or scared tonight. They were just lost. And in that lost look I saw the girl I had raised, the one who once ran to me when she skinned her knee. My chest squeezed so tight I could barely breathe. This was my second chance, handed to me on a hospital tray, and I was going to take it even if it meant lying straight to her face.I knew she was still confused by everything that had happened. The accident had stolen pieces of her mind, and the doctor had warned me the gaps might stay for a while. I wiped a drop of soup from her chin with the napkin, my thumb brushing her pale skin. She didn’t pull away. She just looked up at me like I was still the safe one.“So… my mother is dead?”

Chapter 182

IVYThe hospital room smelled of clean sheets and faint antiseptic, but I barely noticed it anymore. Three days had passed since I woke up, and the world still felt like pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit together. My body ached in places I couldn’t name, the casts on my arm and leg heavy and clumsy. Every small movement reminded me how fragile I had become. But the worst part wasn’t the pain. It was the empty spaces in my head, the way some memories felt locked behind a thick door I couldn’t open.I had just finished breakfast—plain porridge that Cassian had helped me eat—when he came out of the small bathroom with a wet towel in his hand. Water still clung to his hair, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up. He sat on the edge of my bed, the mattress dipping under his weight. His presence felt familiar, like an old blanket I used to wrap around myself as a child. Yet something in my chest tightened whenever he looked at me too long.“What do you want to do?” I asked, my voice st

Chapter 183

CASSIANThe hospital room felt smaller every night, the beeping monitors and soft hum of machines becoming a kind of lullaby I had grown used to. I had been here for almost two weeks now, sleeping in the stiff chair beside Ivy’s bed, ignoring the nurses’ gentle suggestions that I go home and rest. I hadn’t contacted Claire. My old life felt far away, like something that belonged to another man. Right now, the only thing that mattered was the girl lying in this bed, her casts still heavy on her arm and leg, her eyes slowly learning to trust the version of me I was giving her.That night, after the doctor finished his evening check, I stepped out for a short while. I needed to buy a few things—fresh clothes for myself, some fruit she might like, and most importantly, a new phone. Her old one had been lost or destroyed in the crash. I couldn’t risk her finding old messages or photos that might crack the careful story I was building. So I chose a simple, clean phone, set it up with my n

Chapter 184

IVYThe taste of Cassian’s lips still lingered on mine even after he pulled away. It was soft, warm, and far too familiar for someone I only remembered as my stepfather. My heart beat faster than it should have, a flutter deep in my chest that spread heat across my cheeks. I didn’t remember anything about us being more than family, but my body did. It reacted like it had waited for that kiss for a long time. My lips tingled. My breath came a little quicker. And deep inside, something stirred—something warm, nervous, and strangely right.I looked down at my hands, the one without the cast twisting the edge of the hospital sheet. It felt awkward. Not because I didn’t trust Cassian. He had been here every single day, never leaving my side, bringing me food, helping me sit up, talking to the doctors when my head felt too foggy. He made me feel less alone in this strange blank space my life had become. But I didn’t trust myself. How could I feel this way about the man who once lived in t

Chapter 185

CASSIAN Watching Ivy take her first real steps with the walker felt like the most beautiful thing I had seen in weeks. The therapy room was bright and quiet, with soft mats on the floor and bars along the walls. I sat at the far end, hands clasped tightly in my lap, heart pounding with a mix of pride and something deeper, something possessive. It was just the two of us here—no nurses hovering too long, no doctors asking questions I didn’t want to answer, no one else to interrupt the small world I had built around her. Ivy glanced my way once, her face flushed from effort, and I smiled. In that moment, I knew she felt it too. This quiet bubble where only we existed. No past complications. No outside voices. Just her learning to walk again, and me watching over her like I was always meant to. The nurse guided her gently, one hand on Ivy’s back, the other steadying the walker. Ivy moved slowly, her good leg taking careful steps while the other still dragged a little. Each small shuff

Chapter 186

IVYCassian’s fingers brushed my arm again, light and slow, and my whole body reacted before I could stop it. My heart fluttered hard, like a bird trapped in my chest. Heat spread low in my belly, and I felt that familiar wetness between my legs, warm and sudden. I pressed my thighs together under the thin blanket, embarrassed and excited at the same time. I didn’t remember how I had ended up wanting my own stepfather this way, but every touch from him made it feel true. Real. Like my body had kept the secret even when my mind had forgotten.We had spent the whole day like this—quiet moments where he sat close, helping me eat, reading to me from a book the nurse brought, or just holding my hand while we watched the rain outside the window. He never left my side. No phone calls to anyone else. No visitors. Just us. And strangely, I liked it. It made the empty spaces in my head feel smaller. Safer. But it also scared me. How could I feel this pull toward the man who once lived in our

Chapter 187

CASSIANThe bathroom door clicked shut behind us, and the sound of running water filled the small space like a secret we were finally allowed to keep. Ivy sat in the wheelchair, her cheeks already flushed, eyes wide with that mix of nervousness and want she couldn’t hide anymore. I knelt in front of her, my hands steady even though my heart hammered hard. This felt familiar. Right. Like we had done this a hundred times before the accident stole her memories. I was going to take care of her tonight, every inch of her, the way only I knew how.“Easy now,” I said softly, my voice low and calm. “I’ve got you. Just like always.”She bit her lip, fingers twisting in the thin hospital gown. “Cassian… I’m nervous. But I… I want this. I want you to touch me.”Her words sent heat straight through me. I smiled, brushing my thumb over her knee. “I know, baby. Your body’s telling me the same thing. It always does.”I started with the gown, sliding my hands under the hem and lifting it slowly over

Chapter 188

IVYThe days after that bath felt different, like something inside me had woken up and refused to go back to sleep. Cassian and I were closer now, touching more often, kissing when the nurses weren’t looking. Every time his hands moved over my skin, my body came alive in a way that made my breath catch and my heart race. Heat would bloom low in my belly, and I would get wet so easily, like my body had been waiting for him all along. I didn’t remember the full story of how we became lovers, but I was starting to believe it. Maybe this was how my memories would return—through his touch, his kisses, the way he made me feel wanted and safe at the same time.That morning, I had outpatient therapy. The room was bright with big windows and soft mats on the floor. I walked slowly between the parallel bars, my legs still shaky but getting stronger every day. Cassian sat in the corner, watching me with that steady, warm look he always had. I liked knowing he was there. It made the hard parts

Chapter 189

IVYThe day felt longer than usual without Cassian by my side. The hospital room seemed quieter, emptier. I stared at the ceiling, counting the small cracks in the paint, trying not to let the loneliness settle too deep. He had left early that morning, saying he needed to go home for something important. “Work stuff,” he told me with a gentle kiss on my forehead. “I’ll bring back something to show you. Something that might help you remember us.”I was curious, of course. My heart fluttered at the thought of what he might bring. Photos? Old letters? Anything that could fill the empty spaces in my head felt like a gift. But the hours dragged on. Therapy felt boring without him watching from the corner, smiling every time I took a step. The nurses were kind, but they weren’t him. By the time the sky outside turned dark, I was restless, shifting in the bed, wondering if he had forgotten or if something had happened.When the door finally opened, Cassian walked in carrying a laptop under

Chapter 190

CASSIANI knew Ivy wanted it the moment her eyes stayed glued to the screen. Her breathing had changed, quick and shallow, and that soft flush on her cheeks told me everything. She was watching herself on the video, the one where she rode me slow and deep, moaning my name like she couldn’t get enough. The laptop rested on her lap, but her body was already leaning toward me, silently asking for more.I moved closer on the bed, pressing my lips to the side of her neck. She shivered as I kissed her there, slow and open-mouthed, tasting the warmth of her skin. My hand slid up under her hospital gown, gently squeezing one of her breasts. It felt full and soft in my palm, the nipple already hard against my fingers.“You’re so fucking beautiful when you watch yourself like this,” I whispered against her ear, my voice low and rough. “Look at how your pussy glistens on the screen. You were dripping for me that night. Just like you’re dripping right now, aren’t you, baby?”Ivy let out a soft, s
