Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-One: I'm Just Your Nurse
Emma's POV Seated in my room, I struggled to bring order to the chaos of my thoughts. The kiss with Nicholas haunted me every moment, a constant whisper of what could never be. Yet the intensity of that moment left a lingering ache in my heart that I couldn't ignore. I tried to convince myself that telling Nicholas to forget last night was the right thing to do. But why did it hurt so much? I felt stupid for feeling this way. Just as I gulped down the lump forming once again in my throat, a voice broke through my door, sending a shiver down my spine. "So, dear sister, did you really think you could steal my life?" The sharp, accusatory tone unmistakably belonged to Lena. I swivelled in my chair, eyes wide with shock. "That wasn’t what I was doing, Lena. I took this job to help our family," I said, my voice trembling but resolute. Lena, smirking, crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, Nicholas won't be needing you anymore." A laugh escaped my lips, though it sounded foreign
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-Two: Shadows of Desire
Emma's POVThe cool evening breeze brushed against my skin as I stood on the porch of my small apartment. I had been staying here for the past few days, trying to distance myself from the chaos that had engulfed my life. But the shadows of Nicholas and our forbidden kiss lingered, haunting my every thought.I took a deep breath, steadying myself as I prepared to go inside. The door creaked softly as I pushed it open, and the familiar scent of my home welcomed me. It was a stark contrast to the grandeur of the mansion I had been living in, but it was mine. Here, I could escape the expectations and judgments that weighed so heavily on me.As I settled onto the couch, I heard a knock at the door. My heart raced, a mix of anticipation and anxiety swirling within me. Who could it be at this hour? I hesitated before rising to answer, my mind racing with possibilities. Was it Nicholas coming to tell me he couldn’t let me go? Or perhaps Lena, fueled by another bout of misplaced anger?When I
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-Three: Unseen Bonds
Nicholas's POVThe first rays of dawn filtered through the curtains as I lay in bed, every joint and muscle aching from the restless nights that had become my new normal. Emma's departure had left an unfillable void, her absence an unwelcome reminder of the chaos my life had spiralled into. Each morning, I prayed for her return, her calming presence, her laughter, but instead, it was another nurse.My heart ached to have Emma back in my life, and I hated myself for not telling her from the start that she was my mate. But my heart was such a mess then with everything I had just been through, and all though my heart was still confused, there was one thing I knew for sure, and that was that I wanted Emma in my life forever.The soft hum of the morning was interrupted by the nurse preparing me for the day. Her practised efficiency only served to highlight the absence of Emma's gentle touch. I was lost in thought, contemplating how to navigate the tangled threads of my life, when a knock s
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-Four: Questions Unravelled
Emma's POVWalking away from Nicholas was harder than I thought it would be. I couldn’t let myself feel the things I was feeling for him. It was wrong, and he would never want me anyway. He was the alpha, and I was nothing more than a wolfless girl. As we walked toward the café, my mind wandered through the myriad of relationships tangled around me. Lena's selfishness, my father’s obsession with money, and Nicholas’s silent battle—the complexities seemed endless. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the crisp air, hoping it would steady me.I'd been so lost in my own thoughts that I hadn’t even noticed that Aaron had been talking to me until he touched my shoulder. “Emma, are you going to sit down?”Startled, I looked around and realised we were already at the café. “Oh, sorry. Yes, of course,” I said, sliding into the chair he pulled out for me. The rich aroma of roasted coffee beans enveloped us, offering a momentary escape from the world outside.Aaron took the seat opposit
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-Five: Mountains of Hope
Emma's POVInstead of heading back to my apartment, I decided to follow through on my curiosity and check out the hospital I'd mentioned to Aaron—Hope View Rehabilitation Centre. Perched on the edge of the city and nestled among the mountains, this place supposedly offered a sanctuary for those dealing with life-altering injuries.My car's tyres crunched over the gravel road as I drove up the mountain, the dense forest parting to reveal the grand structure of the hospital. Bathed in the golden hue of the setting sun, the building looked almost ethereal. Pines surrounded the area, their silhouettes swaying gently in the breeze, and the crisp scent of nature filled the air. The tranquillity of the scene momentarily eased the turbulent thoughts swirling in my head.I parked and stepped out, taking a moment to absorb the beautiful surroundings. The mountains provided a majestic backdrop, and the forest seemed to whisper ancient secrets. Maybe, just maybe, this was exactly where I needed t
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-Six: Healing Grounds
Emma's POVThe alarm buzzed relentlessly, vibrating on my nightstand with the fervour of a hummingbird's wings. I slapped it off and sprang up, filled with an uncommon excitement to start my day. Aaron had tried to call a couple of times last night, but I had ignored it. This day wasn't about him or the complicated mess of relationships entangling my life. Today was about new beginnings.I quickly dressed in a comfortable pair of jeans and a casual top. Running a brush through my hair, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My eyes seemed brighter, brimming with an eagerness I hadn't seen in a while. "Today's going to be a good day," I told myself, trying to manifest positivity.Even though I had told Grace I wouldn't be there until the afternoon, the anticipation was too much to bear. So, I grabbed my keys and headed towards Hope View Rehabilitation Centre, my sanctuary in the mountains.Driving up the winding road felt like traversing a path to a different world. The chirping o
Entangled with my sister's ex Chapter Thirty-Seven: Shadows of the Past
Emma's POVAs Aaron walked out of the hospital, I felt a wave of mixed emotions. While his persistent interest in Nicholas was annoying, his willingness to help us here at Hope View was a welcome blessing. I pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on the tasks at hand.After finishing up with the medication rounds and ensuring all the patients were comfortable, I visited the staff room for a quick break. The room was empty, filled with an eerie silence. It felt almost surreal. Here I was, in a place that felt more like home than anywhere else had in a long time, yet I couldn’t stop thinking about Nicholas.I shook my head, trying to clear my mind. "Pull yourself together, Emma," I muttered to myself. "Focus on why you're here."Determined to dive back into work, I grabbed a patient's chart and started making my way to his room. As I reached Room 204, my heart skipped a beat. Evan, one of the newer patients, was sitting in his wheelchair, staring out of the window. He looked so young, ba

Nicholas's POVThe ticking clock on the wall felt like a reminder of how much time had passed since everything went to hell. I still struggled to accept Lena’s pregnancy, a dark cloud hanging over the brief moments of clarity I managed to grasp. And the gnawing doubt—was the baby even mine? The question lingered, refusing to be silenced. But the worst thing of all was how much my heart craved to be close to Emma again. “Good morning, Mr. Blackwood,” the new nurse greeted me with an overtly cheerful voice as she wheeled in a cart loaded with medical paraphernalia. I didn't catch her name; I didn't care to. Emma’s absence was a gaping wound in my daily routine, one no amount of words could patch up."Morning," I muttered back, my voice husked with exhaustion rather than morning grogginess.The nurse began setting up, her movements efficient if not overly clinical. "Let's start with your exercises," she chimed, attempting to infuse some optimism into the air. It fell flat, like a joke t
