Christie's POV The house was commotion. A party I wasn't invited to was in full swing.I sat at my desk, hunched over a petri dish, my eyes scanning the data I had compiled over the last twelve months. A year ago, I had cracked the code for a rare human cancerous tumor that baffled local doctors. Now, I was close to perfecting a synthetic version that could be produced for pennies. I didn’t need a ballgown; I needed an hour of quiet in my lab across town.I checked my watch, shoved my notebooks into a worn backpack, and pulled my hoodie over my head. If I timed it right, I could slip through the servant’s entrance, get to my rusted sedan, and be at the lab before the main guests arrived.I crept into the hallway, my sneakers silent on the carpet, but as I reached the top of the stairs, a sharp laugh cut through the air."Going somewhere, Nerd?"I froze. My step sister, Anna, stood there, draped in a silk dress that cost more than my car. Standing next to her was Robb. He looked diff

Christie’s POVI stood over my workbench, staring at a vial of clear liquid until my vision blurred. A tear hit the glass top of the table. I didn't wipe it away."I’m the doctor," I whispered to the empty room. "I’m the one with the degree. I'm the one who's out here with a mission to save lives."But in my head, I still heard my mother’s voice. ‘You look like trash, Christie. You’re a disgrace to this family.’She had always referred to me as an embarrassment. It didn't matter how hard I worked or how well I excelled in my studies.I was almost like a slave in my own home. Anna was the pretty one and she got the best of everything and I had to take whatever she didn't want. A heavy engine cut through the silence outside. It was 2:00 AM and usually, no one came around the lab at such time. My heart hammered against my ribs as I looked at the security monitor. The screen was fuzzy, but I saw a massive shadow moving toward the entrance. I scrambled for the front door, reaching for th

Christie’s POVLyon didn't hug her back. He stood as stiff as a board. His hands stayed flat against his sides while the woman clung to his neck. It looked more like an anchor than a hug. I stood on the gravel, clutching my I e a with the other. I felt like an uninvited guest at a party I was forced to attend."That's enough show, Kendra," Lyon said. His voice wasn't loud, but it had a note of warning. He reached up and peeled her hands off him, one by one. He stepped back and moved closer to my side.Kendra smoothed her dress. She looked like she had spent the whole night under a spotlight. Every hair was in place. I felt like a mess in my wrinkled lab coat. "I was just worried," she said. Her eyes darted between us. "You’ve been gone for hours. The house has been a disaster since you left. Like I predicted.""You know nothing matters to me right now more than my mother's life," Lyon told her. He didn't look at her with any of the intensity he had used on me in the car. Okay. Th

Christie’s POVKendra finally walked out of the room, her heels clicking against the hardwood until the sound faded into the distance. I let out a long breath and looked at Nima. She was in a deep, heavy sleep, and her vitals were holding steady for the moment. There was nothing more I could do until the stabilizers arrived.I decided to leave her to rest. I needed to move, or I was going to lose my mind thinking about my lab. I stepped out into the hallway, intending to take a walk through the mansion. It was extremely gigantic.I hadn't gone very far when a member of the domestic staff stepped out from a side room. She bowed her head slightly. "Doctor Christie? The Master of the house gave us strict orders to take care of you while he is away. A meal has been prepared. Please, follow me."I realized then that my stomach was knotting with hunger. I hadn't eaten since before the ball began at my mother's house. I abandoned my plan to explore the halls and followed her down a wi

Lyon's POV “Nothing. I was just having time alone,” she responded. Her eyes went to the small bag I was holding. “And yeah, you brought the exact bag here. I'm glad you're back quite early.” My eyes stayed on her. The room was dark except for the moonlight hitting the floor, and I could see the damp tracks on her cheeks before she wiped them away with a frantic motion. "I’m not crying. I mean, I wasn't crying before you opened the door," she said. Her voice was thin and a little shaky. I took another step into the room. I had just driven like a madman to her lab and back, dodging all kinds of trucks and cars to get these stabilizers, and the first thing I found was her breaking apart. "I have eyes, Christie. I saw you." She shifted quickly, nearly tripping over her bag. She gave a small, forced laugh that sounded hollow. "It’s just... a patient I was handling a while ago sent me a message. They said they are finally fine and haven't been happier in their entire life.
