“That’s… a lot to take in,” I tell him, feeling a bit overwhelmed, so I do what any normal person does when they’re overwhelmed. I distract myself. I spot a store that I’ve shopped at before and announce, “Let’s go in here.” Ethan allows me to pull him into the store and follows as I begin looking
Ethan The door clicks shut behind me before I quietly make my way down the hall. “We should stay with our mate,” my wolf grumbles, annoyed that she’s napping while we leave. “Thought you wanted to find the person who tried to kill her,” I retort. He growls, baring his teeth. “Of course, I do
Nodding, I flip to the next page of the report, which has images of two different doorknobs attached to the paper. I study them but can’t tell what the importance is. “Oh, these are interesting, E,” Jason says, pointing to the key slots. “Whoever did this, took time to break some sort of metal, pr
Fiona “Fiona Aldridge?” I turn, finding the owner of the light, questioning voice. A petite dark-haired woman watches me with curious eyes and a smile. “Yes,” I answer, feeding another paper into the copier. Even though she looks slightly familiar, I don’t believe I’ve met her. Or at lease, I
It’s cute. “Come here,” I mutter with a little laugh while turning the chair, grabbing him by the tie, and pulling him closer. I brush my fingers through his hair, fixing the mess he created and kissing his forehead. “Thank you,” he says before standing and adding, “We’re about to have guests.”
Fiona I move through my work in a daze, shuffling papers and sending emails. I can’t fully focus, so I take a minute to sit back and close my eyes. Fiddling with my necklace, I let the cool metal press between my fingers, hoping it can give me the same sense of calm that it did before. All I can
We sit there for a while, merely holding each other. After a bit, Ethan continues working, and the sounds of his heart beating against his chest, the soft woosh of his breathing, and the clicks of the keyboard fill the room. It’s strange, the comfortable silence that we find ourselves in, but I ca
Ethan “I’ll have dinner done by the time you get here,” Fiona says, her voice coming through the speakers in my car. It’s been two days since she came into my office and curled up in my lap, smelling of sadness and confusion. She’d been quiet since then, but it wasn’t a negative quiet. I could a
I take the moment to glance at Jack, who has become pale with surprise. I almost laugh. If he hadn’t fired his lawyer and if he’d bothered to look through the submitted evidence, he would have seen the evidence. “I will take this into consideration, Mr. Adair, but as you know, I have no jurisdicti
Fiona I adjust my pantsuit one last time before following Mr. Adair into he courtroom. After one hearing two days ago, we are finally entering the final divorce hearing. There were some issues at the first hearing with Jack’s lawyer, so the judge had to order us to reconvene today. As Mr. Adair
Jack’s eyes widen. “Have you forgotten everything you’ve done, Jack? You’re the one who ripped our marriage apart, not me,” I growl, stalking forward. “You chose to do the exact opposite of what you vowed on that very beautiful wedding day. You’re the one who stopped putting time and effort into o
Fiona My eyes fly to the door, but there’s no escape unless I go through Jack. Maybe I should’ve eaten with Ethan. Anything would be better than Jack showing up. In fact, he shouldn’t even be in this building. “What are you doing here, Jack?” I demand, putting as much confidence into my voice, l
My gut churns. It could be a lie, I remind myself. It’s what I wanted. Liar, a voice in my head whispers. It’s right. I hate the idea of their marriage moving forward. Angela opens her mouth like she’s going to say more, but I can’t listen to her anymore. I already have enough trouble with wha
Fiona “Please have this correspondence sent out to the Mercy Medical Company as soon as possible,” I tell Patrice, the older mail lady. She smiles at me and pats my hand. “Honey, you didn’t have to come all the way down to the mail room. You could’ve called me to come get this from you,” she say
“Fiona,” he greets as I step off the elevator. I offer my best smile, but even I can tell it’s not as genuine as it usually is. “What did you find?” I ask as soon as we make it into his office. “The lab sent back the forged signature as well as your samples. They wrote an official letter stating
Fiona Grabbing my bag, I make my way to the elevator. I chance one more glimpse at Ethan’s office, but it’s still empty. He didn’t come back after the meeting, and I didn’t look for him. We both need time to assess the situation in order to make the correct decisions. No matter how much my heart
How can he make a claim like that if he’s going to marry someone else? He can’t have it both ways. It’s either me or her, and he has more to gain and less to lose if he’s with her. Closing my eyes, I pull back. Unlike Chris, the wolf lets me pull away. His fingers linger for a moment, but when I
