Wyatt's POV

I woke up before her.

Sunlight slipped through the curtains in soft strips across the sheets. Clothes were scattered on the floor, her shirt by the door, my pants halfway under the chair.

Avery curled on her side facing me, hair loose and tangled across the pillow, breathing slow and even.

I reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her face, and leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.

I pulled the blanket higher around her bare shoulder and lay there for a few seco

I don’t understand why Avery forgave Wyatt so quickly and easily. Are they going to even talk about what he did?

Atleast Nate might know now who killed his unborn son.

  • He was never mine   Nothing Left Behind

    Wyatt 's POVI don’t remember sitting on the floor.One minute I was standing in the bedroom. Next, I was leaning against the couch with my tie still hanging loose around my neck.Three bottles of whiskey sat open on the coffee table. Another had rolled onto its side near my feet, the last few drops staining the hardwood.I hadn’t been trying to get drunk. I just kept pouring. Because every time the glass emptied, I had something to do with my hands.The moment I stopped, they wouldn’t stop shaking.The apartment had never felt this empty. Less than a day ago, Avery had been here.Even when she wasn’t speaking, I always knew she was somewhere. In the bedroom, in the kitchen, sitting on the balcony sketching.Now, nothing felt like home anymore.My phone has been buzzing nonstop since midnight. Forty-eight missed calls and seventeen messages from Marcus, Elise, and my assistant piled up. I flipped it face down. I had nothing to say to any of them. Every time I tried to think about som

  • He was never mine   What Was Left Of Us

    Wyatt’s POV"I never lost it in the first place."Everything inside me went still. I heard the words, but they didn’t belong to the woman standing in front of me."W…what?" My mouth opened but nothing came out. I swallowed. “W…what?”I stared at her, waiting for her to take it back but she didn’t.She didn’t look away. She didn’t even try to soften it. She just looked at me and waited for me to believe her."You remembered…” I said. “You've remembered this whole time?""Everything." She said so calmly that it frightened me. “Ridgefield, the hospital, the baby, Celeste, your family." Her eyes stayed on mine. “And you.”I forgot to breathe.My chest tightened painfully. I stood frozen, staring at her, unable to make sense of anything.“I wasn’t confused, I wasn’t trying to remember, I already knew everything.”Every sentence stripped away another piece of the life I’d believed we shared.I found my voice eventually. "Then why disappear from the hospital?""Because I couldn't stay."

  • He was never mine   Never Lost

    Wyatt's POV"Celeste deserves something worse than prison."I stopped dead.The phone was still pressed to my ear, Marcus saying something on the other end, but the words blurred into noise.Every muscle in my body locked. For a second, I actually wondered if I’d heard her wrong.“After everything she took from me,” Avery continued, her voice carrying through the half-open bedroom door, “she deserves hell.”I didn’t move. My feet felt rooted to the floor, as if taking another step would somehow make whatever I was hearing not real."Nate was never the target."She paused, her voice cold. "None of this would've happened if she'd just left me the fuck alone."My grip tightened around the phone until my knuckles ached.“No,” she said, quieter this time. “Wyatt still doesn’t know.”She went silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, there was something fragile in her voice.“I never thought things would turn out like this.” “Wyatt?” Marcus’s voice cut through the phone. “You there?”

  • He was never mine   Someone Knows More

    Wyatt’s POVMarcus dropped into the chair across from my desk and exhaled hard, looking like he’d been running on coffee and bad news.The fact that he’d come straight in without so much as a greeting told me whatever he had wasn’t good. I looked up from the papers on my desk.He dragged a hand across his face. "You know, at this point, throw a rock in New York and there's a decent chance it'll hit somebody who hates your family.""This isn't funny.""I didn't say it was funny." He held up both hands. "I said it's statistically possible."He started counting on his fingers. "Former employees, competitors, people Celeste wrecked, people Nate wrecked while he was drunk and not paying attention." Another finger went up. "Possibly an entire support group meeting somewhere that none of us know about.""Marcus.""You people collect enemies like trophies. It's impressive, honestly. In a terrible way."I leaned back in the chair and looked at him. "Why are you actually here?"The humor disa

  • He was never mine   Targeting My Family

    Wyatt's POVI barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Avery push against my chest, cover her mouth, and rush to the bathroom. Her pale face in the mirror afterward stuck with me. Stress wasn’t new to Avery. I’d seen her carry more than most people could survive. But this? This didn’t look like stress.By six-thirty, I went downstairs.I made tea, toasted some bread, and cut up the last strawberries in the fridge. Nothing heavy, just things she might actually keep down. I arranged everything onto a tray and made my way upstairs to our room.Maybe she was right. Maybe she just needed rest.I pushed the bedroom door open with my shoulder, tray in both hands.She was awake, sitting up against the headboard, phone in hand, thumbs moving across the screen at a speed that didn’t match someone who was stressed. Then she saw me. The screen went off, the phone flipped face-down and slid it under the pillow.I stood in the doorway and looked at her."That looked suspicious

  • He was never mine   Not Just Stress

    Avery 's POVThe internet had finally accepted that Arielle Montreaux and Avery Sterling were the same person. Fashion blogs were still running articles, reporters followed me out of buildings, three different podcasts had done episodes. Some called me "the woman who lived two lives." Others went with "the mystery designer." One particularly creative blog called me "the Cinderella who built her own castle," which I found all flattering and clingy.I'd stopped reading the headlines after day three. The attention drained me, but the business side? That had exploded in the best way.The bridal collection was a hit. Orders were coming in. Custom pieces kept clients calling nonstop.The Monochrome website had crashed twice. Elise had been smiling nonstop for an entire week, which honestly felt like a warning sign.She burst into my office that morning, tablet in hand, eyes wide with excitement. She looked ready to explode if she didn’t share the news fast."Do you understand what you've

    Wyatt’s povI sat in my truck outside Avery’s beach house, watching until her lights turned on inside, that’s only when I could breathe.What the hell was I doing?My hands were still shaking from pulling that psychotic woman off her.

    The waiting room at the clinic reeked of the kind of disinfectant masked with air freshener that only serves to cover up the lingering stench of stale air.I moved slightly on the uncomfortable plastic chair with my hand pressed against my belly. The baby inside me had been kicking all morning long
