Chapter 1: Trying her best

Veronica- “You know, you don’t have to come here every day, Vicki. I know you are busy.” My brother Andrew said when I tucked him back into bed. We just returned to his hospital room, after undergoing another round of chemotherapy. He was only ten years old and had benign brain stem glioma. He had his last scan a couple of weeks ago, which showed that his tumor wasn’t spreading. Still, he had to stay in the hospital to keep getting treatments. He hasn’t been able to get around as well as he used to, and the hospital knew of my situation. I worked four jobs to pay for his treatments and his stay in the hospital. One of my jobs was as a certified nurse assistant here, so it made it easier to stay nearby. I also worked as a bartender down the road from the hospital. My waitress job was a little further away. Then there was the fact I was an Uber driver in my spare time. Since I didn’t own a vehicle, my boss at the bar allowed me to use his. I was barely twenty-three years old and tak

This was such a beautiful story, and I love reading it. Veronica and Lyrek are great characters. I enjoyed reading how their relationship started and progressed. Andrew is such a sweetheart. Bawled my eyes out whilst he was saying goodbye to V in case he died in surgery ...

Chapter 2: The most beautiful bartender

Lyrek-“You’re good.” I chuckled, before sliding onto the bar stool next to me.Before walking into this bar, I had no intention of flirting with a woman, but then I saw her. She had a beautiful smile, her complexion was slightly tanned and reminded me of warm honey. Her messy bun just made her look that much more attractive.As she walked away, I couldn’t help but admire her slender figure with curves in all the right places. After the day I had, the last thing I wanted was to be hitting on a female that I knew wasn’t right for me. Then again, there was nothing wrong with flirting and looking.When she returned to place my drink on the table, I decided to stay where I was at. Even though, originally, I had planned to hide in a back corner to drink away the stress of the day. I just flew in from California and the trip had been long and grueling.First, they misplaced my luggage. Then, my grandfather gave me an ultimatum that I didn’t like. He had the audacity to tell me that if I did

Chapter 3: Code Blue

Veronica-After finishing my shift at the bar, I went to the hospital to check on Andrew. He had been fast asleep, so I didn’t bother him. Giving him a kiss goodnight, I snuck out to take a quick shower in the locker room that was for staff.I had a shift at the hospital in a few hours, so I wanted to grab my scrubs and get cleaned up. A customer had spilled some alcohol on me, so I stunk like a distillery. After showering, I dropped my bar uniform off with housekeeping.They offered to help me with my laundry, so I didn’t have to spend money on a laundry mat. I was extremely grateful for everything the hospital staff and the bar did for me. It took away some of the stress I had to deal with.They said they would take it up to Andrew’s room after it was cleaned, since I was going to be working. Having a few hours until the start of my shift, I decided to sleep in the chair that was in Andrew’s room. They had offered me a bed a few times, but I had declined it because there were other

Chapter 4: A marriage of convenience

Lyrek-I didn’t have the faintest clue what was going on, other than Veronica was in distress and I had an overwhelming urge to be there for her. When I rushed after her, I didn’t even think about what I was doing or about to do. When I saw her fall to the ground outside, I felt a tight pain in my chest.“Hey, what is wrong?” I asked gently, lowering myself to the ground to sit next to her.“He is dying and there is nothing I can do about it.” She sobbed as she leaned toward me.Turning my upper body, I adjusted my body so I could wrap my arms around her. She cried into my chest, my shirt fisted into one of her hands. Not entirely sure what she was talking about, I just held her while she cried.The guy that told me to leave last night, came outside but paused when he saw us on the ground. It looked as if he was unsure of what to do. I mouthed the words, I got this, to him. He looked unsure at first, before nodding his head and heading back inside.With my arms wrapped around her shou

Chapter 5: Mrs. Veronica Cole

Veronica-Sitting next to Lyrek in the car, as we drove to the hospital, I couldn’t take my eyes off our marriage certificate. I was now married to a man I barely knew and now carried his last name. Which, up to an hour ago, I hadn’t known.“Are you okay?” Lyrek asked from the driver's seat.“I’m fine.” I lied.There was no way I was fine about any of this. Since I was a little girl, I wanted to be married, but not like this. I thought I would find a good man that I could fall in love with, spend some time getting to know him, eventually move in with him, and later down the road possibly marry.Not meet a guy one night, move in with him the next night, get married the next morning, and completely miss out on the love aspect. When he offered to marry me, to save my brother, of course, I jumped at it. Did I do the right thing though?For all I knew, he was a bad guy and would treat me and my brother like crap. He doesn’t even know that legally my brother is technically my son. That woul

Chapter 6: It begins

Lyrek-The very second we entered the room, where Andrew was, Veronica left my side to wrap her little brother in her arms. “How are you doing today?”“Great! I convinced the nurses to get me ice cream.” The kid beamed at Veronica, like she was his favorite person in the world.I had known her brother was young, but seeing him now, I didn’t realize how young. He couldn’t be more than ten. He looked so small and frail that I was surprised he didn’t break a bone when she hugged him.“Ice cream for breakfast? You know that isn’t good for you.” Veronica scolded him, even though she didn’t sound mad.“I also ate some toast.” He smiled at her.“Well then, that sounds much better. Is Lily still here?” She asked him, sitting next to him on the bed.“She said she had to go get some coffee and that she would be right back.” Andrew said, his eyes adverting to where I still stood by the door. “Who is he?”Veronica looked over her shoulder at me with a frown on her face. Stepping forward, I moved

Chapter 7: Shattered Hope

Veronica-After leaving Lyrek, I returned to Andrew. I had just arrived to see him being transferred to a wheelchair. His stuff had been cleared out of his room. I knew Lyrek had asked for a transfer, but I hadn’t expected it to be so quickly.I guess Lyrek’s name was a lot more powerful than I realized. I have to admit, it was nice to be able to get things done so quickly without needing to fight everyone. It wasn’t that I struggled a lot with getting Andrew the things he needed, but there had been times it had proven difficult.“Did you hear? I get to move to a new room. Lily said I get a room that looks like a real bedroom, with a bed and everything!” The excitement in Andrew’s voice nearly had me in tears.“I heard bud.” I smiled at him as one of the floor nurses started to wheel him out of the room.Normally I would take over with something like this, but I didn’t have a clue where we were going. Following behind the nurse, I listened to Andrew talk about how nice it would be to

Chapter 8: Not Giving Up

Veronica-I had hoped that I would be able to get my stuff packed and get out before Lyrek showed up. If I had to guess, he had run after me considering I had barely started grabbing my things when I heard the front door open. Silently cursing myself, I started shoving the few clothes I had into my bag.“Veronica?” Lyrek shouted through the penthouse.Not wanting to answer him, I kept quiet as I continued grabbing my clothes out of the dresser. I don’t know why I decided to unpack last night. I should have just left everything alone until I could be sure this was going to work between us.I was just putting in the last article of clothing when Lyrek opened the bedroom door. Zipping up my bag, I grabbed the strap and then slung it over my shoulder. He was blocking the doorway so I couldn’t leave.“Please let me go. This was a mistake. Please let your grandfather know that I am sorry.” I said, not bothering to look him in the eye.“Just hold on a minute, will you? You don’t get to just

Chapter 9: Consummating the Marriage

Lyrek-Raw desire rushed over me with every second I tasted her lips. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I have wanted to taste every inch of her. From the top of her head, down to the tips of her toes.She tasted of cinnamon and apples, making me hungry for more of her. Her hands roamed my torso with a kind of need that I felt deep into the depths of my soul. When I chased after her at the hospital, I was filled with unrecognizable panic.Now that she was in my arms, allowing me to taste her, touch her and explore her, I wasn’t going to waste a minute of it. Tightening my grip on her butt cheeks, I lifted her in my arms. Her legs circled my waist without pause.Keeping my mouth firmly against hers, I blindly moved through the house toward her bedroom. I would take her to my bed, but at this second, it was too far away. I wanted her now, with every fiber of my being.Entering her room, I stumbled slightly when my foot hit the bottom of the door frame. It hurt like a bitch, but I didn

Chapter 10: Nagging Feeling

Veronica-In the aftermath of what could be described as the most amazing sex of my life, I closed my eyes to enjoy the warm feeling that spread through my body. Lyrek pulled out of me, only adding to my already enjoyable feeling. Having not had an orgasm in so long, I was extremely sensitive to even just the feeling of him removing himself.As he rolled off me, I immediately missed the heat of his body. Until he laid next to me, pulling me into his arms, his hand moved to my stomach, lightly caressing it with his fingers. His touches were tender, almost loving.I didn’t know what it was about him, but he affected me in ways I didn’t understand. It had only been a couple of days and already I was happy to be lying next to him. I don’t know if it was because of the sex or if it was because he was a decent guy.Regardless, I felt like I could lay here all day and not care about a thing in the world. As much as the thought sounded good, I knew I couldn’t. There was something I cared a gr
