VERA'S P.O.V

The room got quieter with every move.

Other than the server, who moved around, refilling our glasses scotch, no one else had mentioned a thing.

The pot in the middle was growing larger now, with stacks of chips piling up under the light.

No one was smiling anymore, well, except me.

Not because I wasn't nervous, but because I was having fun.

The dealer placed the final card in the middle—the river.

This was it, the last chance to bet.

  • YOU WRECKED ME    THERAPY SUCKS

    HUNTER’S P.O.V“Tell me why you’re here today, Hunter James.”It had been weeks since Vera left me, and I hadn’t seen her since I took her to Ellie’s. She stopped showing up to work, I expected her to. I’m sure she resigned from Haven’s and relieved herself of the burden of seeing me every day. If it were up to her, she’d never want to see me ever again. Vera hated me that much.In some ways, I was grateful she resigned; she did us both a favour, me especially because I hated seeing things I couldn’t have. Her presence alone in that office would do much more damage to me, even worse than my current state. I couldn’t eat properly or sleep well. I couldn’t get things done like I normally would, even when under pressure. The other interns were noticing, the supervisor and even senior staff, they all knew something was very wrong with me. And even though the interns never asked, they knew Vera had a huge part in it, most especially because of her absence.I wished she could see me

  • YOU WRECKED ME    LOST ME

    HUNTER’S P.O.VVera sat quietly in the back of my car. She didn’t make a single sound—one would almost forget she was there.My eyes grew heavy from lack of sleep. The migraines that started after the accident were creeping back, pulsing right behind my eyes. I rubbed at my temple as I slowed for a red light.I watched her through the mirror. She sat stiffly, her back straight, and her gaze fixed on the passing streets. She couldn’t even relax around me anymore.It really had come to this.That stupid “break” had only been a softer landing. A nicer word for what we both knew was coming. Now she was bold enough to say it plainly— we were done.Vera was too good for me. I’d always known it, and I’d been horrible for her. *I fucking lost her.*The light turned green, and I pressed my foot against the accelerator, speeding up. It was late, but at least there’s no work tomorrow, so she could rest for the weekend.I kept driving, a little faster, so she could get home on time. By the time

  • YOU WRECKED ME    LINGERING LIPS

    VERA'S POV The car ride back to Havens was torture. I sat at the end of the car, as far from Hunter as the space would allow. I stared out through the tinted window while Attorney Dickson spoke lowly on the phone in the front passenger seat. The city blurred past me. My head ached and my eyes burned behind the layers of concealer I'd slathered on this morning. I had cried all morning. After slipping out of Hunter's bed while he watched, I made it outside before the first sob tore out of me. I sat on the steps for nearly twenty minutes, hugging my knees and burying and resting my forehead against them, crying so hard my ribs ached. Leaving Hunter had been the hardest thing I'd ever done; it was harder than watching him spiral, it was harder than the two times he'd almost gotten me killed. Because no matter how toxic it became, some part of me still loved him. I still loved the man he could be when his demons weren't swallowing him whole. But I couldn't stay, not anymore.

  • YOU WRECKED ME    SHE LEFT ME

    HUNTER’S POVImagine losing the best thing that’s ever happened to you, only to go to work the next day and see her act like nothing’s happened, while you secretly lose your mind. Depressed was an understatement. I didn’t know how to feel. I was numb, like it hadn’t dawned on me that Vera had left me.After she told me last night, I went mute. I didn’t know what to say.She kissed me last night, let me touch her for the last time, let my cock, slide between her wet folds. She let me push my way inside her, let me fuck her till she was well spent.The sound of our bodies slamming together mixed with her broken moans and my ragged breathing. I couldn’t stop kissing her. Her mouth, her neck, her collarbone, anywhere I could reach—while I fucked her like I could change her mind with my body.“I love you,” I growled against her throat, hips snapping harder. “I love you so fucking much.”Tears were streaming down her face. She held my face in both hands, forehead pressed to mine, staring

  • YOU WRECKED ME    LOST YOU

    VERA’S P.O.VI woke to the low murmur of Hunter’s voice.“She’s stable now. Yeah...she was discharged a few hours ago.”My head raised a little too fast, but firm hands caught my shoulders.“Easy,” Hunter whispered.I blinked, slightly disoriented. I was in his bedroom.It was dark, only the dim glow of his phone lit the space.He reached over and turned on the bedside lamp, a soft golden light spilt across his face. He looked exhausted,“Why am I here?” My voice came out hoarse.Hunter sat up slowly. Only then did I realise I’d been lying on his chest, his arms wrapped around me.“You had an allergic reaction,” he said calmly. “Ellie wasn’t home...so I brought you here.”I tried to recall the past events that all led up to this moment. The awful smell that made me gag, and the nasty, taste of the drink Charles innocently got me.“The latte?” I asked.“Yes.”I sat up, ignoring the dizziness.I searched for my phone.I wanted to get my phone, get my things, then leave.Why was I here

    HUNTER’S P.O.VVera left the moment the meeting ended, not wasting a second longer.Her friend Charles got up, following her out, too.“There’ll be a thirty-minute lunch break, then a brief meeting with the interns,” the supervisor announced as soon as the attorneys and senior staff left.The rest of us exited the conference hall, and I followed a few of the interns out for food.“Do you want to eat with us at our table?” One of the interns, Dana, asked me.The other two, Samson and Destiny, wait for my response.“I have to get something done,” I replied, declining as politely as I could.Dana smiled. “No problem, good luck with that.”I reached the canteen, and as I walked in, I saw Charles leave with two large coffees in his hands.One for him, and I assumed the other one was for Vera’s.I don’t know what to feel about him, getting close to Vera, buying her coffee, snacks, and even taking her home.All things I’m supposed to be doing, but can’t because of the dumb break.I’m not goi

    HUNTER'S P.O.VSince Vera had blocked me on every social media platform, I got lonely. Lonely was an understatement; I was insanely depressed. Until now, I didn't know how little of a social life I had. Vera had Ellie and a handful of friends in our major.I had Vera—only Vera.I was at my lowest,

    VERA'S P.O.VA relentless knock rattles my door, each pound more insistent than the last. Whoever was on the other side had been hammering away for what felt like forever, and I could only hope they'd eventually wear themselves out and leave me alone.With a groan, I shoved my hand beneath my pillo

    HUNTER'S P.O.VThe street was empty, except for a few stray cats darting across the road; there was nothing. It was half past twelve. Vera was more than an hour late, but I refused to leave. I knew she'd come eventually. No matter how long she kept me waiting, I was staying. Whatever we said toni
