Evelyn's POVThe scar on Zane's back was like a piece to a puzzle I didn't realize I was trying to solve. I wasn't entirely sure why I was so invested in it, and why I wanted to know more about it. My eyes followed the grooves of healed skin that stretched across his back like lightning.Before I could force my gaze away, Zane turned around just enough to be able to see me staring at him over his shoulders. Heat rushed to my cheeks immediately. This was what I got for staring so hard!Yet, instead of shooing me away, Zane motioned for me to join him in the rehab room. For a moment, I hesitated, but decided to go in anyway. I'd already been caught gawking at his scar. The least I could do was apologize for being such a creep…I went inside and approached Zane slowly. My heart began to hammer in my chest and every step felt like I was fighting some invisible force just to move forward. Why the hell was my body acting so nervous right now?I stopped just a few feet away, not wanting to cr

Zane's POVI knew that Death was inevitable, but I didn't think that I was going to have to face him so soon. The memory of that fateful day felt so fresh that I could still feel the flames from the broken cockpit lick at my skin. Intense heat scorched the hair off my skin and nearly caught my head on fire.

Evelyn's POVI bounced from the master bedroom to the guest bedroom, grabbing everything that was mine. Luckily, two of my luggage bags from previous vacation trips were still here, so I was able to start packing up more of my things. Clothes, shoes, memorabilia, books… Whatever I could salvage that hadn't been thrown out.Adrian stood in the doorway with a dumbfounded expression, like he couldn't believe I was doing this. In his mind, he must have thought I wasn't actually being serious about any of this.What a shock. He stopped taking anything I said seriously once he started prioritizing Bianca. Hell, he stopped taking me as a person and as his wife, seriously.However, as he continued to watch me pack and organize my things, it seemed to have clicked. His eyes widened as panic began to set in. "W-wait, Eve…"When I didn't stop to acknowledge him, he spoke again. "You're not actually serious about this… are you?""Really?" I scoffed but kept it moving. "You see me grabbing my belon
