Tilda's POV.I stood before the mirror, adjusting the delicate lace veil over my hair, which flowed down my back like a dark, silken waterfall. The satin gown clung to my body in all the right ways, making me feel like I had stepped out of a dream. My heart pounded in my chest but in the best way possible. Several emotions flooded my veins as I stared at my reflection - happiness and excitement."Today's the day," I whispered to myself, barely believing the words.My breath hitched as I took in the sight of myself, a bride. After everything Wyatt and I had been through, the ups and downs, it was finally happening. I was marrying the love of my life.I twirled lightly, squealing a little. The gown swirled around me as I clenched my fists in excitement."I’m ready," I whispered to myself, feeling a rush of giddiness rising in my chest. "I'm ready to say 'I do'."The door creaked open, and Aunt Tina stepped inside. Her face was gentle, but the sorrow in her eyes was obvious. I knew her t

Tilda’s POV.I took shot after shot, feeling the alcohol scorch its way down my throat. The empty cans piled up on the table in front of me, mocking me with each clang. I was still in my wedding dress. The dress alone reminded me of the nightmare I had woken up to just hours ago. I had fled the hotel room—feeling Wyatt’s absence like a knife to my heart—and sought refuge in the one place that promised oblivion: a nightclub.I tried to drown my pain in alcohol, hoping it would numb the ache that was consuming me from the inside. But nothing could fade the betrayal I felt. Wyatt. My best friend. Emily. The two people I trusted most in the world. How could they do this to me? How could they be together? How could they get married on my wedding day?I thought about it. How did this even happen? When did they get together? How did I not know this? It seemed like their relationship blossomed right under my nose. I had never seen the signs. I felt so stupid. I forced a hollow laugh, tryin

Tilda’s POV “Wyatt,” I whispered in a husky tone as I clung to him, burying my face in the warmth of his neck. His familiar scent should have comforted me, but there was something unsettling about the moment. Still, I ignored it. My hands traced the sharp lines of his jaw until my fingers grazed his lips. I hesitated, savoring the softness before leaning in for a kiss. My eyes were closed as if I could seal the fragile peace between us. “I thought I’d lost you,” I murmured, my voice breaking as I held him tighter. My heart still reeled from the nightmare that had tore at my soul. “That nightmare felt so real... You leaving me for Emily, my best friend, was horrifying. But we both know there’s nothing between you and her, right?” I whispered against his skin, inhaling deeply. But instead of the familiar scent I expected, something foreign filled my senses. I froze. I opened my eyes, my heart racing, and instead of Wyatt’s soft gray eyes, I was met with dark brown piercing eye

Tilda’s POV.I glanced down at the screen and froze. It was a message from a strange number. A cold shiver crept up my spine as I opened it.Attached was a selfie of us—one I had no recollection of taking. The sight of his face next to mine made my stomach twist.His message read: "If you ever want to escape again and lose yourself in my arms, I'll be here. Only I am allowed to touch you and make you feel that way. I'll keep this photo as a memory, but don't worry, I didn’t take any explicit photos or recordings. I'm not that kind of person. Sorry for taking your number without permission. Take care of yourself, and move on from your heartbreak."The words crawled under my skin. He sounded possessive, like I was some kind of treasure he could claim whenever he pleased. And the casual way he said it—like I should be grateful he didn’t exploit me further—left me feeling violated all over again.I sat frozen in the backseat, feelin several emotions swirling inside me. Fear prickled at th

Tilda's POV.The next morning, I got up before dawn. I was Ted to be as early as possible in order to make a good impression. After the chaos of yesterday, I had expected to be brought down by thoughts of Wyatt and Emily’s betrayal, but instead, my mind kept returning to the little girl—Ivy, the director's daughter. Today, I would officially become her nurse, and I felt a strange feeling of excitement blooming in my chest.I slipped into my uniform, taking extra care with my appearance. My hair, usually thrown up in a messy bun, was neatly styled, and I applied a touch of makeup, just enough to enhance my features. I wasn’t sure why I felt the need to look my best, but I was meeting the director for the first time and I wanted to make a good impression.Dr. Ben and Nurse Abby had been clear in their instructions—there was a certain way to behave around the director. I had heard many things about him - a man of few words and strict boundaries. He valued discretion, and more importantl

(Tilda’s POV).“Fuck,” I muttered to myself.How did I get here?I couldn’t believe my eyes as I stood there, frozen, staring at the man in front of me. Less than 48 hours ago, this very man and I had shared an evening that I thought was a one-off—an impulsive, passion-filled encounter I had planned to leave in the past. But now, here he was, in the middle of the room, his arms around a young girl who I now knew to be Ivy, the director’s daughter… my patient.I’d barely registered the little girl’s voice until she asked, her tone full of curiosity, “Why are you staring at each other like that? I hope you’re not flirting.”A nervous laugh escaped me, and I tried to regain my composure. “Oh, Ivy, don’t be silly. I just want to speak to your father alone for a moment. Something I noticed around the house,” I added, hoping my voice didn’t betray my internal panic.As Ivy shrugged and trotted off, I glanced back at him, and he was just as stunned as I was. His gaze was fixed on me, wide-

(Tilda’s POV).After dinner, Ivy seemed to be in high spirits, so I joined her in her room for a bit, doing what I could to keep her entertained. I could feel his presence around the house, but he kept his distance, and I was grateful. It gave me the chance to enjoy my time with Ivy without feeling like I was constantly looking over my shoulder.“You know,” Ivy began, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she turned to me, “my daddy doesn’t usually stare at people like that.”I laughed, though my cheeks burned a little. “Oh, really?”“Yeah. He usually just says, ‘Hi, how are you?’ and then goes back to his computer or his phone. But with you, it’s different.”My smile softened, and I decided to brush off the comment with a gentle chuckle. “Well, maybe your dad and I were just… surprised to see each other.”She gave me a skeptical look but seemed satisfied for the moment, instead pulling out a puzzle to work on. As I helped her arrange the pieces, my mind drifted back to him, and the st

(Tilda’s POV).I took a small step back, putting some distance between us and gathering my thoughts. “Look, Richard, I don’t think Ivy would really like the idea of… whatever this is between us,” I said, trying to keep my tone calm and professional.He nodded slowly, his expression softening. “You’re right. She’s been through so much already. The last thing she needs is more confusion.”For a moment, we both let that thought settle, the weight of our roles and responsibilities creeping back in.“Let’s start fresh,” I suggested, giving him a small, hopeful smile. “Professionally, this time. No history, no awkwardness. Just… colleagues. I’m tilda winters.”A spark of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he straightened, as if accepting a challenge. “Alright. Colleagues.” He held out a hand, as if meeting me for the first time. “I’m Richard Lancelot, Ivy’s father.”I couldn’t help it—I burst out laughing. “Richard… Lancelot?”He raised an eyebrow, looking almost offended, though there was

(Tilda’s POV).“Good night, Richard,” I said softly, turning to head into the mansion.“Good night, Tilda,” he replied, his voice warm.As I walked away, I couldn’t help but smile. Starting fresh might just be harder than I thought—but somehow, I didn’t mind.I slipped through the tall doors of the mansion, heading straight for Ivy’s room. She was curled up under her blankets, her eyes lighting up when she saw me.“Tilda!” she greeted me with a grin. “How did your talk with my dad go?”I chuckled, settling into the chair beside her bed. “It went well,” I said, keeping my tone casual, though the truth was far more complicated.Her grin grew wider, as if she’d been waiting for some drama. “Good,” she said with a satisfied nod. “I’m glad you’re here. The last person was always… well, she was always hitting on my dad. She was pretty, but she was always trying to get him to pay attention to her instead of me.”I gave her a sympathetic smile, a little surprised by her candidness. Ivy seemed

(Richard’s POV). I walked with her down the steps, feeling an odd sense as we crossed the driveway together. When we reached the car, the driver stepped out, holding the door open for her. “I’ll drive you home,” I said, which came as a shock to her. She watched me take the keys from the driver as I entered the car and pulled out of the driveway. With an easy ride, I drove her to her apartment and stopped in front of it, putting the car into a spot before turning to look at her. “You drive… better than me,” she chuckled and I shrugged. “I’ve had years of experience.” She nodded. We stared at each other, the tension between us rising to high levels before she grabbed her bag. “Thanks for… the ride,” she said. “Anytime.” She got out of the car and waved to me as I waved back before watching her walk to her door. When she entered the house, I pulled out of her driveway, heading back home. This was going to be a long night of drinking and maybe going through some f
