100 Days With My Nemesis ~090~ THE HEART THAT GRIEVES
NORA Mars' phone starts ringing again before I can dwell on the disorienting realization brewing in my heart. The sharp sound pierces through the air, and he flinches hard. Both hands fly to his ears. His eyes dart towards the door, the window and the broken phone on the carpet. As though the noise is coming from everywhere at once."Mars."He doesn't seem to hear me. His breathing turns frantic. I lunge for his phone before it can ring again.DR. ADRIANI'm about to reject the call when a message slides across the top of the screen.UNKNOWN NUMBERMy thumb freezes. The preview contains only one sentence.THE FIRST JUDGMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED.A shiver runs through me. Another message appears immediately.THE GUILTY WILL CONFESS. THE INNOCENT WILL BE AVENGED.What the hell?The words don't sound like a threat. Not exactly. They read like a proclamation. Like whoever sent them believes they are delivering justice.But justice for whom? For Mars?No. Someone seeking justice for hi
100 Days With My Nemesis ~089~ SICKENING TURBULENCE
NORA For several seconds, all I hear is static and my brother’s breathing. "Nora, don't go online."I sit up straighter. Mars is already on the phone with Jensen."What happened?" I ask.Jordan swears under his breath. "Someone uploaded a video."My stomach plummets."What kind of video?"Across the bed, Mars freezes. My husband's eyes pin mine.Jordan's voice lowers as he responds. "Someone was being interrogated at gunpoint. The man confessed to abusing your husband."My head spins, blood draining from my face. "W-What?""He named several others."My fingers go numb around the phone. Mars ends his call without saying goodbye."What exactly did he say?" I ask."Nora, you shouldn't watch it.""Send it to me now.""I said no." His breath catches. "I wish I hadn't seen it. Dad's people are already trying to get every copy removed, but it's everywhere. Every platform. News pages. Gossip accounts. People are recording their screens and uploading it again.""Don't make me ask again,"
100 Days With My Nemesis ~088~ ME, MY HUSBAND AND THE BED
NORA Mars glances down at the pillow, worrying his lower lip between his teeth. "I... I couldn't sleep. The nurse was snoring. She was in the sitting room. But the noise—"I groan. "Are you kidding me right now?"His eyes dart away, and I fold my arms.He looks drained and embarrassed. Ridiculously handsome despite resembling a fugitive who escaped a medical ward with one decorative pillow."You promised," I remind him."I promised not to break the door.""You promised not to come into my room," I hiss at him, and he frowns."I'm not in your room."I stare at him. He is standing with the front half of his body leaning through the doorway. Mars slowly leans backwards."Technically." His mouth tightens. "I wasn't going to come in.""Then why do you have a pillow?"He looks down at it again as though he has only just noticed it."I thought I might sleep outside."My anger falters. "Outside the room?"He nods once. What the fuck, Mars? Why do you keep making my heart race like this?
100 Days With My Nemesis ~087~ RESTRAINT OR NAH?
NORA Mars' fingers tighten around my wrist. The softness in his face disappears, replaced by something colder."An organization," he says. "Or that's what they called themselves."The monitor beside him continues its steady beeping. I wait, but he looks towards the window instead of me."What kind of organization?"His jaw clenches. "One that trafficked children."For a second, I'm certain I misheard him."They moved children through orphanages, charities, and private schools," Mars continues. His voice has gone flat. "Some were sold. Some were kept and trained. Others were handed over to wealthy people who paid to hurt them."My stomach churns terribly. "Hurt them how?"He doesn't answer. He doesn't need to. I pull my hand from his and cover my mouth, suddenly nauseous."Oh my God. And you were—"I stop. His gaze meets mine. He doesn't confirm it. He doesn't have to do that either. My heart is breaking apart in real time."Mars...""Rachel was a part of them," he says. "She
100 Days With My Nemesis ~086~ THE PRISON OF HIS MIND
NORA My husband's face goes blank. I don't know why Mr. Hartmann is calling. Either way, we still haven’t negotiated. I can't do that over the phone. However, I can't ignore him. So I answer the call and bring the phone to my ear."I trust that I have given you enough time to think," he tells me, and I nearly roll my eyes."I'll see you tomorrow," I say, and he hums."Will you now? Well, I'll be expecting you. Same time. Same place.” He hangs up before I can argue.Arrogant jerk.When I lower the phone, Mars is still staring. He shifts, trying to push himself higher against the pillows. Pain tightens his face immediately."Don't." I press one hand against his shoulder. "You've already done enough damage for one day."His gaze dips to my hand, then it lifts to my face."You're leaving."My half-packed suitcase still sits open beside the wardrobe. Apparently, near-death exhaustion does nothing to dull his abandonment radar."I came to collect my things."His fingers close around
100 Days With My Nemesis ~085~ TO LEAVE OR TO STAY
NORA The taxi stops outside the villa, but I don't get out. I sit there with my purse clutched against my stomach, staring through the window at the dark building.Valentina had reminded me that the villa has staff, nurses, doctors, security, and enough cameras to capture Mars breathing from twelve different angles.He does not need me. That was her point. And she is right. I'm only here to collect a few things. Then I'm returning to Val's suite.Simple.So why does my chest feel so tight?"Madam?" the driver asks."One minute."He nods and settles back. I look at the villa again.The last time Mars thought I was gone, he regressed so badly that he barely recognized the world around him.That wasn't my fault.His recovery cannot depend entirely on me being within touching distance. That isn't healthy for either of us. Still, I remember how terrified he looked when my taxi pulled away.I close my eyes and groan. "God, I hate that man."The driver wisely says nothing.I push th
100 Days With My Nemesis ~003~ MY PERSONAL APOCALYPSE
NORA My skull is hosting a full-on rave with bass, strobe lights, and the works. I groan and crack one eye open, only to get assaulted by aggressive sunlight and the mother of all hangovers. This is not the Evermont ballroom. This is... a hotel suite? Oh God. Where the hell am I? Ugh, my
100 Days With My Nemesis ~002~ AN IMPROMPTU DATE
NORA His scent hits me first. How is that possible? It's been three years. Yet, I still recognize it.Woodsy scent, mixed with that perfect amber. A scent so expensive and masculine that I spent entirely too much time pretending I didn't notice back then.My heart starts racing as he takes
