The drive from the airport felt like a blur, my mind tangled with everything I needed to say to her. My contact had called me in Germany, telling me that Nora had been rushed to the hospital—something about an emergency. He’d urged me to drop everything and come, and I didn’t hesitate. The thought of her in pain, scared and alone, left me impatient, my mind racing with questions.
When I arrived at the hospital, the urgency within me boiled over. I pushed through the revolving door, heading straight for the reception desk, barely managing to keep my voice calm. “Nora Sinclair. Which room?”

NORA'S POV I stood frozen, unable to process what Adrian had just revealed. Adrian, my boss, was Sam’s friend—someone Sam had called on to keep tabs on me. The realization felt like a betrayal wrapped in betrayal, a scheme spun behind my back by two men I’d trusted.“How…” My voice came out unsteady, struggling to grasp this new reality. “How long have you known each other?”Adrian looked at me, regret flickering in his eyes. “Since we were kids, Nora. Sam asked me to look out for you. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”

SAM'S POV I watched as Nora’s expression shifted, something soft and almost broken flickering in her eyes. For a brief second, I thought she might actually answer my question, that maybe, just maybe, she would tell me what had landed her in the hospital. Her face twisted, and I saw a shadow cross over her expression—fear, hesitation, pain? I couldn’t be sure.“Nora,” I said, my voice softer now, practically pleading. “Please, just…tell me what happened.”But instead of responding, she shot me a look that was hard and defensive, and then, without a word, she turned on her heel and walk

NORA'S POV Daniel’s car slid smoothly along the rain-slicked streets of Paris, the tension from the hospital still crackling between us. My head leaned against the cool glass of the window, and I tried to focus on the rhythm of the city lights flickering past. Daniel’s hand rested on the steering wheel, his thumb tapping lightly, a silent beat of unspoken concern.He pulled up in front of my apartment, the headlights washing over the old stone facade. The engine’s hum faded to a quiet idle. Daniel shifted, turning toward me, his eyes searching mine.“Are you sure you don’t want me to come up?” he asked gently, his voice low and full of worry.I managed a small, tired smile. “I’ll be fine. I just need some time alone to think.” My voice cracked a little at the end, and I looked away, blinking back the tears that threatened to spill.Daniel reached over, his fingers brushing a stray curl from my cheek. “Okay,” he said softly. Then, leaning forward, he pressed a gentle kiss to my cheek,

SAM'S POV We were both still catching our breath, tangled together, half-dressed and utterly exhilarated. Nora sat perched on the heavy oak table in Adrian’s drawing room, her legs wrapped securely around my waist, her hands tangled in my hair. My own hands caressed her back, feeling the softness of her skin, the warmth of her against me. I couldn’t let go of her, didn’t want to. The scent of her, the way she felt, had me completely undone.“I love you,” I whispered against her lips, over and over, as if the words would be enough to erase the past. I couldn't stop kissing her. Her lips were intoxicating and I wanted to stay buried inside her, the softness of her wrapping around me like a cocoon. Nora’s eyes glistened with something unreadable, and she held onto me, her fingers tightening just a bit as she kissed me back. She then sighed quietly. “Sam,” she murmured through my lips though there was a hint of practicality cutting through the heat. “We should get dressed… Adrian could

NORA'S POV My heart pounded against my ribs, an unsteady, relentless rhythm that left me breathless as I waited for Isabella to drop her bombshell. The way she stood there, savoring every second of suspense, made my skin crawl. Her smirk deepened, and I hated that she was enjoying this moment—this power she held over me.Isabella’s eyes flicked to Adrian, a false look of concern softening her features. “Are you sure you want Adrian to be here for this?” she asked, her voice a sugary blend of feigned innocence and barely-hidden delight. Her gaze shifted back to me, her eyes glinting with a sinister sort of pl

NORA'S POV Dinner at Adrian’s had felt like walking a tightrope—one wrong step and everything would come crashing down. My mind kept wandering back to the drawing room earlier, to the way Sam had kissed me, how he had held me like he never wanted to let go. My heart was still racing from it, but sitting across from him now, the tension between us had returned. It lingered in the air, thick and suffocating.We were eating quietly, the clinking of silverware the only sound cutting through the silence. Sam was watching me, his eyes softening every time our gazes met, but I kept looking away. It hurt too much to hope, and I was too afraid of what came next.

NORA'S POVI sat alone in the dark, clutching the photograph between trembling fingers. The edges of the picture were worn and creased, but the man’s face remained crisp and clear. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from his chiseled features, the way his dark eyes seemed to glint even in the flat, glossy surface of the image. This man—the man in the photograph—had changed everything. The moment I’d met him had altered the course of my life, though I hadn’t realized how deeply until much later.I exhaled shakily, the memories crashing over me in relentless waves. That day came back in vivid detail, and I was helpless to stop it.LONG TIME AGO I’d been desperate. No, more than desperate. I’d been on the verge of breaking, clutching at straws and hoping one of them would pull me back from the edge of losing everything I loved. It was raining that afternoon, the gray sky casting a dreary glow over the city, mirroring the storm raging inside me. My hand was clasped tightly around the arm of th

SAM'S POV I drove back to Adrian’s mansion, barely registering the elegant Parisian streets blurring past. Anger and jealousy coiled in my chest, twisting tighter with every beat of my pulse. The memories of Nora, the photograph, and Daniel’s smug expression replayed in my head, a relentless loop that threatened to drive me mad.When I pulled into Adrian’s driveway, the butler met me at the door, looking wary. “Sir, Mr. Blackwell has stepped out for the afternoon,” he informed me. I didn’t respond, brushing past him and storming into the living room.To my irritation, I found Isabella lounging on the velvet chaise, her legs crossed, a satisfied smirk on her face. She looked like she owned the place, as if she were waiting for me.“Sam,” she cooed, rising to her feet. “Rough day? Or are you still sulking over that—”I didn’t let her finish. In two quick strides, I closed the distance between us and grabbed her, crushing my lips against hers. I shoved her roughly against the wall, the

NORA’S POVThe sun bathed the Bennett estate in a golden glow, filtering through the canopy of white roses and twinkling fairy lights. It was the perfect day, the kind of day that had once seemed impossible. But here we were. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace sleeve of my gown. It was nothing like the dress I had once imagined wearing for my first wedding to Sam. No, this was something entirely different—something that felt more like me. The gown hugged my frame, elegant and timeless. Soft ivory fabric cascaded down in delicate layers, embroidered with tiny pearls that shimmered when I moved. My hair, styled in loose waves, was pinned back with a single white rose, and a sheer veil trailed behind me like something out of a dream. But it was Sam’s face I longed to see the most. "Are you ready?" Genevieve appeared in the doorway, looking radiant in a soft emerald gown. Her usual sharpness was softened by the emotion in her eyes. I turned, feeling my he

NORA’S POVThe moment the plane touched down in New York, a flood of emotions surged through me. Relief. Exhaustion. Gratitude. I was alive. I was going home. Sam held my hand the entire drive from the airport, his grip firm yet tender, like he was afraid that if he let go, I’d disappear. My heart ached with anticipation; my mind consumed by a single thought—Zoe. I had spent weeks away from my daughter, missing the warmth of her tiny body against mine, the sweet scent of her skin, the sound of her giggles. The separation had been unbearable, and now, every second that kept me from holding her felt like

SAM’S POVThe fluorescent hospital lights hummed softly above me as I lay in the hospital bed, the sharp scent of antiseptic lingering in the air.

It was about her. Nora. She lay in the bed

NORA’S POVThe beeping of machines was a constant rhythm, a reminder of the fragile line I was walking. The Parisian hospital room was bathed in soft golden light from the setting sun, but I felt cold. Not the kind of cold that came from the air conditioning or the evening breeze slipping through the cracks in the window—this was deeper, bone-deep, a chilling awareness that my body was failing me. Every breath felt like a borrowed one, shallow and effortful. The weight of exhaustion pressed down on me, heavier than it had ever been. My fingers tingled, my limbs felt distant, like they didn’t belong to me anymore. A part of me wondered if this was it—if I was already standing on the precipice between life and d

SAM'S POV The jet sliced through the cloud cover with the precision of a predator on a hunt, its hum a constant in the background as my thoughts drifted. Paris was just hours away, but I was already a prisoner of the distance—caught between two worlds, neither of which felt truly mine anymore.I had fought wars before, faced battles in boardrooms and beneath the weight of expectations. But none of those had ever felt so personal, so destructive. This fight had torn apart the very fabric of my family, shattered everything I had worked for, and left scars on my soul that would never fully heal. And the worst part? It had nearly cost me Nora—the one person I couldn’t afford to lose.

SAM'S POV The boardroom was suffocating, thick with tension and the scent of expensive cologne and polished wood. New York’s most powerful investors sat around the long mahogany table, their sharp eyes locked on me. Margot Moretti sat at the far end, composed as ever, but I could see the cracks beginning to show.For the past two hours, I had been fighting for control of what was left of my father’s empire.

NORA'S POVThe hospital room was eerily silent except for the rhythmic beeping of the monitors and the quiet hum of the machines keeping me tethered to this world. The walls were painted in soft, sterile white, and the air smelled faintly of antiseptic. I had spent countless hours in this bed, staring at the ceiling, counting the tiles, trying to ignore the way my body felt weaker with each passing day.But today was different. Today, the doctors would begin the experimental treatment—the last chance I had.Sam was pacing. He had been pacing for the last twenty minutes,
