BAILEEI squeezed my eyes shut as I failed to swallow back a sob, and prayed that he would have the answers to my questions.“You lean on family, and we hold you up until you have healed and can walk on your own again.”I missed him. I missed my brother so much, and I needed him.I hated that he was so far away right now when all I wanted to do was curl up under his arm like I was still a kid and let my big brother hug me until everything was right with the world again.Yet, I couldn’t. It didn’t even feel right to cry right now when I had a sick little girl sleeping down the hall that I needed to be strong for. “I can walk just fine.”“Okay, run then. I’ll walk with you until you can run again,” Ben said, and I laughed, wiping my hand over my cheeks to get rid of the tears. “Once you can, I’ll go back to cheering you on from the sidelines.”Guilt crashed into me again. When was the last time I had been to one of Ben's games to literally cheer him on from the sidelines?I had wanted to

ALEXANDERI was a fucking idiot.Since the day I met her as a kid, Bailee Evans had been the only one who could get to me. Whenever she was around, all my control snapped.Now, I had to deal with the fallout of my actions once again.Only this time, it was worth it because it was for her and Caleb Johnson had it coming.Caleb had no right to yell at, touch, or even be near Bailee at this point. I knew it wasn’t normal to feel this protective, but with our past it felt justifiable. Plus, Ben would want me looking out for his sister.My mugshot would be on every tabloid and news channel first thing in the morning, and I would take it with a smile after seeing Caleb’s face smashed in.“How did you get out of jail?” Bailee asked, crossing her arms over her chest as she popped her hip out.At least she still had a fire in her after everything she had been through. I used to love bickering with her and hearing her sass.We would banter back and forth until I couldn’t take it anymore and had

ALEXANDER“I’m sorry that I hurt you. It was the last thing that I wanted to do, but I wasn’t given a choice.”“I just said we shouldn’t talk about it!” She snapped before looking down the hallway, fear on her face. “Shit! We are going to wake her. Just...just get out!”“Look, I’m going to be around, especially if you’re going to be living with Ben. He’s one of my best friends, and you may not know this since you don’t answer his calls, but he’s been going through a hard time, too.” I said, running my hands through my hair, irritation running through me as the raw skin of my wrists from that rookie cop purposely putting the cuffs on too tight caught my eye.“What? Is he okay? What’s going on?” Bailee instantly relaxed. Her concern for her brother was apparent in the way she stood a little taller, as if instinctively preparing to shield or fight for him.“He’s fine, but it’s not my story to tell. Still, I think it would be best if we could put the past behind us to make things easier fo

BAILEE My phone ringing startled me awake, though I hadn’t intended to pass out on the couch. Usually, when Brinley was sick, I would sleep in her room to ensure she was okay. I jumped for the phone to keep the ringer from waking Brinley. It had been pointless, though, because I cursed loudly

My heart was pumping loudly, the blood whooshing in my ears as I stared at the closed door, hoping he would look in the bedroom, see it was empty, and leave. Instead, a blood-curdling scream ripped from my throat as the closet door was thrown open to show a large figure in the doorway. “Ms. Eva

ALEXANDER I scowled as I stared at the back of the bottle, reading the dosage as Bailee turned on the bath in the adjoining bathroom. “How much do I owe you?” She asked, and I looked up to see her leaning against the door frame, staring at me stone-faced. “For the medicine, how much was it?”

BAILEE My knee bounced as we sat in the waiting room. I was nervous, but not because of my meeting with Mr. Collins. I was nervous about giving Alexander the apology he was owed. He had hurt me beyond belief when we were younger, but the way I had treated him today was unacceptable. Over the

ALEXANDER Entering through the parking garage, I took my private elevator directly to my office, wanting to avoid passing Caleb in the main lobby, where I had Nathan seat him. He could have waited on my floor, but I didn’t want him to overhear anything he shouldn’t or go snooping. “Mr. Kingston

BEN “I’m feeling tired and would love to turn in. If you leave my schedule with me, I will review it and explore the facility another time.” I said as calmly as possible, even though I was annoyed beyond belief that she was here. Just when I thought my life couldn’t drag me down any lower, fate d

HAVEN I could hear my blood pumping in my ears as I read and reread his name on my chart. Benjamin Evans. My boss Suzie told me we had a VIP client arriving today, but I didn't know who. All I knew was that Mr. Kingston was sending someone important in and that we were instructed to give

BEN I slowed as I turned off the main road and down the hidden path that led to Limitless, Alexander Kingston’s sports medicine rehabilitation facility. Although it hadn’t been my first choice, I feared it was the only option I had if I wanted the best specialists in the field and guaranteed disc

EPILOGUE “If you get on one knee without a ring in your hands, one more time, I am going to kill you.” I hissed, narrowing my eyes at Alex. We had already been on the cover of hundreds of magazines. They seemed to get as much of a kick out of this as he did. Each time, there was one page with him

BAILEE Alex was extraordinarily happy that night and the following day. He didn’t stop smiling until we reached Ben’s house to say goodbye. Only then did his good mood fade. As soon as I saw Ben was already by his car, about to put his suitcase in, I jumped out of ours and rushed to unbuckle Br

BAILEE Alex was surprisingly calm for a man who potentially left an engagement ring in the jacket he just asked me to search. Hell, he was even whistling as he got into the shower that night, and I immediately pulled out my phone and dialed Lacey while he was busy, breathing a sigh of relief when

BAILEE My body stilled as my hand closed around the small velvet box in his pocket. Everything in me was telling me to take it out. I needed to confirm that it was what I suspected, but I was also terrified that I would be wrong. What if I was just getting my hopes up, and it was just a pair of

ALEXANDER My knee bounced as I stared at the garage door, waiting for her to open it and enter the kitchen. I didn’t like that she was supposed to be on bed rest, yet she was still going to work and driving around. At the very least, I wanted my driver to take her wherever she wanted to go, but s

Ben stilled, looking down at what he had just packed for a long moment before realizing I was being sarcastic. “Very funny. Look, I leave tomorrow, and I don’t want to forget anything or run out. If the press catches me leaving the facility and running to the store for anything, they will spin it an
