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
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’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
BEN I couldn’t count the number of times I had dreamed of putting a ring on Haven Lynch. At one point… close to the end, I had thought it would actually be possible. I was a fool. Haven cleared her throat, discretely tucking the necklace away before brushing her short blonde hair behind her ea
HAVEN My free hand was curled into a fist at my left side, and I tapped the tablet against my right thigh as I waited for the elevator to go down. I had realized it long ago, about the time I was served with the restraining order, but the confirmation that I never really knew him made me want to
BEN I stayed in my suite that night, unashamed to admit I was too scared to leave my room because I didn’t want to run into Haven again. It was the first time I had seen her since she walked out on me, and I felt like I had handled our meeting with class. It felt like a trap. Yet, I had seen H
HAVEN As soon as I hit my knees, I knew I had made a mistake. I could feel Ben's eyes on me, but they had never felt like this before. The rage and disgust were coming off him in waves, and I quickly tied his shoes before standing and rushing down the hall, expecting him to follow. He didn’t disa
HAVEN “Excuse me?” I asked, stunned as I stared at him like he was crazy. The nerve of this man! He had no right, absolutely no right! “It’s not a difficult question, Haven. All those years ago, why did you leave me?” Ben asked, holding my stare unashamed. Was he really going to gaslight me i
HAVEN The second I walked into the break room the next day, Bonnie and Calum jumped from their seats, asking if I was okay. Suzie had sent me home yesterday for the rest of the day unpaid, and while I wasn’t expecting my badge to work this morning, it did. “How are you?” Bonnie asked, and I shr
BEN Bailee gently hit his arm with the back of her hand as she walked by him to a cabinet to grab a glass, and I laughed. “It was a week ago. Where is Brinley?” I asked, looking around for my adorable niece. She would probably love to hear my news with them. “She said she had to go find her train.
BEN I wasn’t sure when I decided to return to the city. Still, I found myself pulling up to Alex’s house five hours later, my back irritated from being in the car for so long, and only one text from the manager of the rehab center checking in and asking if they could get me anything since I missed
HAVEN “Hey, have you guys seen my…” Calum said as he trailed behind the security guard who stormed past us, but he stopped in our way when he saw my face. “You’re crying?” “Not now, Calum.” He ignored her, but I didn’t want to discuss this with him. We were just co-workers, not friends. He fli
BEN My hands were sweaty, and a chill went through me. I couldn’t trust anyone. Not my parents, staff, or even Haven after her repeated lies over the past week. If she had told the truth this time, I would be in serious trouble. My staff had access to everything that controlled my life. I wou
BEN My heart twisted in my chest. After seeing her picture, I knew in my gut that Siri was mine, but Haven had lied so many times that even hearing what I had wanted to hear, I wasn’t sure I could believe it. “There wasn’t anyone else?” I repeated. If there wasn’t anyone else, then Haven hadn’t
HAVEN “That’s not possible,” I said, shaking my head back and forth. This room was too small for us to hash this out now. I felt like I couldn’t breathe with Ben so close, and his body heat made me uncomfortably warm. “Look at me, Haven,” Ben demanded, and I ripped my eyes away from the stack o
HAVEN I had resented Benjamin Evans for many things over the years, but the feeling of dread that now bubbled in my gut when I drove to work was the cherry on top. This job was finally something I had outside of my home that I had worked hard for, and that made me happy, and he made me not want t
BEN “Haven, like your old assistant Haven?” Bailee asked, and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me. “The one and only,” I grumbled in response, rubbing my temples as I tried to fight the headache that was rapidly coming on. “That’s great! Did you guys talk?” Bailee asked, sounding as excited
