Hot Chapters

Chapter 1. A Normal Day

Jackson: I took a long sip of my coffee and felt the warmth slide down my throat. It was the best moment of the day. I finished reading the end-of-month sales analysis. A waitress approached and left a slice of cake on the table. 'I didn't order this,' I said, frowning. 'It's on the house,' she replied with a shy smile.

Chapter 2. A Change

Lilly Bradley: This morning, during breakfast, my father announced a great opportunity to take a chief surgeon position at a major hospital in New York. My mother was thrilled. If he accepted, they would move after my wedding to Oliver. My sister and I were independent, so they were excited about living in another country.

Chapter 3. A Dispute

Jackson Johnson: The Hamptons became my favorite place from that moment. I stood in front of a large window on the third floor, the beach in front of me, a blue I loved, and a clear sky. It was a sin not to have it. I thought about how often I would use it, officially making it my new sanctuary.

Chapter 4. Action and Reaction

Lilly Bradley: Several days had passed since I found out that Oliver, my fiancé, was going to a house of appointments. He was having sex with other women. I decided to see it with my own eyes. 'You're not toxic, Lilly,' my sister repeated as I gripped the steering wheel. I wanted to see it for myself.

Chapter 8. A Change of Plans

Lilly Bradley: I stopped halfway up the stairs of the new building we were temporarily living in. The elevator was out of service, and I didn't want to wait an hour to go up. I decided to take the stairs despite my aching feet. I had walked a lot, leaving applications at various companies after more than four interviews.
