Autumn's standpoint I removed the surgical gloves with a heavy sigh, that was one of my most stressful surgeries. I don't know how the hell a pin got involved in the surgery, but it certainly caused a huge problem for Carter. Hopefully, he will regain consciousness. I threw the gloves on the tray and pulled the surgical mask off too. "Clean him up, and this time, no mistakes." "Yes, doctor." I nodded and walked out while pulling off my surgical gown. I walked out of the theater to the waiting room. Jake and Jasmine stood up immediately, their mother was asleep. "The surgery was successful, but his waking up is not up to me. He'll be under oxygen support until he can regain consciousness. I don't know when he will wake up, but at least it is two weeks." "What if it goes past two weeks?" Jasmine asked fearfully. "We still hope that he wakes up. I will stay with him for a week, then have my team move him over to Washington where I can keep a close eye on him." "Does it mean we will
Landon's standpoint "Mr. Timberlake, you have a visitor, a certain Miss Sinead West," my secretary announced through the intercom. I furrowed my brows, I hadn't seen Sinead since I ditched her. "Should I let her in?" "Yes," I leaned back on my chair and stroked my chin. Why would Sinead visit me after so many years? It was strange and again, worth being curious about. I owed her nothing, even if she helped me get what I wanted. Staying with her or any other woman was dangerous, all they want is money and power. Sinead is manipulative, but when it came to me, I did the manipulating. The door opened and she sashayed in, dressed like the cheap slut she was and obviously still is. What made me choose her then was because I knew Mordecai would easily fall for her, she was his type, exactly his type. Sinead had an innocent-looking face, one that would never make you suspect her. She had a personality he also liked and that made her perfect. Too bad his taste had changed and his trust wal
Andy's standpoint I parked my car in the parking lot, killed the engine, and jumped out. Aaron parked his motorcycle beside my car. He climbed off the bike and took off the helmet. I ran towards the building, heading straight to the reception. Delaney was there pacing around and muttering. "Laney," I called worriedly. She turned to me and sighed with relief. "What is wrong with him? What did Landon do?" "Autumn related, Mordecai didn't take it well and now I am a hundred percent sure he has destroyed his office. You have to check on him, you know no one can get there through the elevator or the stairs. Jaxon is at the staircase leading to his office, the huge security door still requires a passcode and we don't know what it is." "Come on," Aaron, who just joined us, said. Aaron was closer to Mordecai, he would always listen to Aaron's advice. Next was me, before Jaxon. He headed in the direction of the staircase, and I followed behind him with Laney. "Do we have to climb all these
Autumn's standpoint "Shit!" I sat up and called Doctor Sullivan. "Good evening, sir," "Good evening, ma'am, is there any problem?" "Can I trust you to watch my patient until my team can move him to Washington DC? There's an emergency, I have to return to Washington tomorrow morning," "Of course, thank you for giving me one more chance," "Yeah, just don't blow it. I will drop by the hospital before I leave. Thank you, sir," I hung up and called my new pilot. "Good evening, Ms. Newton," "Guy, can you get the jet ready tomorrow morning?" "What time?" "As early as a.m., can you?" "Sure thing, miss," "Thank you, goodnight," I hung up and called Chelsea. "Figured it out yet?" "Landon Timberlake, the evil stepbrother of Mordecai," "Shit, that's a mess. Are you d…" "No! Never! It must be a misunderstanding. I am flying back to Washington tomorrow morning. Sullivan will have to care for Carter in the meantime. Is that okay?" "Of course, come get your guy," "You are crazy," I la
Autumn's standpoint I remained dazed as he breathed into my face, his forehead resting on mine. After our long breathtaking make-out, he placed his forehead on mine and remained that way for minutes, leaving me to catch my breath and ponder senselessly over what happened. His hands remained on my hips where they were when he broke the kiss. My dress had crumpled up, almost exposing my panties. His eyes were closed and his breathing was calm, much calmer than mine. I had never been as confused as I was at that moment. I was dumbfounded by everything that happened. Not just because he was one hell of a kisser, but because the kiss was the best one I had ever had and that's saying something because these lips of mine have met a lot of others. Memories of the long makeout replayed in my head. The way his tongue guided mine, the passion that flowed from him to me, the way his hands skillfully kneaded my ass, the way they gripped my hips, and the way our bodies merged as one. Even with our
Mordecai's standpoint I stared at Autumn's lips, the menu in my hands long forgotten. She was biting her lip as she decided on what to order. I decided to take her to an Italian restaurant, to make her feel a little at home and because I knew that a certain famous blogger always ate there at that exact time. It was the perfect way to please her and spread the news that we were together to pain Landon. I was such a fool doubting her and almost ruining everything due to anger. The pain of having her leave me for him blinded me, but I wasn't going to let it happen again. She ran her tongue over her lips, reminding me of how tender those flesh are, how they melted in mine. Autumn was a fabulous kisser, a damn kisser that knew how to send a man thinking of nothing else than her lips and her taste. Simple way to describe her taste, cinnamon and vanilla, sweet, sweet vanilla. She reacted to my touch so well, like her body was waiting for me. I knew she wasn't lying about the asexual part,
Chelsea's standpoint I typed on my laptop meticulously, Andy gave me all his paperwork to handle. Luckily, I was almost done retyping the last one on my laptop and getting it ready to print out as official documents. Then I would have to take it to his lawyer myself to stamp the work. It had to do with the legal purchase of rare artwork from his gallery and other stuff. I twisted my neck and cracked my knuckles, exhausted already. "I haven't even checked on Autumn," I mused. I shook it off and continued typing meticulously. My phone vibrated from where it lay beside me. I looked at the phone and furrowed my brows. Andy sent me a message to come online so we could talk about business. I cracked my knuckles before I picked up my phone, turned on my data, and did what my boss said. My little seduction of my boss was going so well. Andy found it more entertaining to walk into walls while staring at me. Or tripping over his feet and making a mess. Andy is just too funny and too nice. Me
Chelsea's standpoint Autumn danced about the living room, brushing her hair. Mordecai called and told her he was bringing friends for lunch and then they would spend the evening at his grandfather's for a proper introduction. Why was she happy? Some bloggers took a picture of them kissing at the restaurant and the news was displayed on television. I, on the other hand, just watched her with amusement. It's not the first time she's appeared on TV but for some reason, it was a huge deal for her. "I've removed the bachelor CEO from the market. That's a huge deal." She said, Yeah, whatever makes her happy. "The woman has been identified as Dr. Autumn Newton, the only daughter and child of the famous Late Dr. Newton. Reports show that she attended the young—not so much of a—bachelor's birthday party although not fully dressed for the occasion. Suellen Stockings wrote in her blog that she does not have the full information on their relationship. But I hope to get an interview with one of
