I thought losing my memory was the worst thing in the world. Forgetting who you are, and where you came from was like driving on a road with only right turns. All leading in the same direction. A direction I wanted to avoid, a dark tunnel that I had to enter if I ever wanted answers.
Losing my memory wasn’t the worst thing in the world. Learning, who I was, and the secrets I had kept was way worse. The unbearable pull and the passion we shared, mixed with the past that I didn’t want to remember, created a whole new storm. The perfect storm of two kinds of crazy. Stupid little fish.
Paxton leaned up on his knees. “Is that Nick?” “Yes,” I replied as I fell into the same tense position he moved to. Elbows on knees, and eyes and ears on the voices. “Where the f*ck are my kids?” I leaned up and hit pause, stopping it right there. “This is how it’s going to go? We haven’t even started yet, Paxton. I don’t know where they are. I just asked myself the same question. I’m assuming they were at one of the thousands of activities you had them in. I don’t know.” “You were supposed to be with them.” “Yeah, well, I wasn’t, and I don’t remember why. So. Do you want to do this or not? I don’t see where any good can come from it if you’re going to be like this.” “How the f*ck do you expect me to be, Gabriella? You’ve been involved with Lane for the last year. And this sh!t. I don’t even know what you’re doing here, or why you’re not with our children.” “I’m done. You have fun watching it by yourself,” I said as I pulled my stone from his, and stood like it was really that easy. Paxton jerked me back to his side by my shirt, his hand went around my throat, and he told me how things were going down. Not my way. “You f*cking did this to us. You’re the one that showed up here like this with all these lies and secrets. Let’s find out what you’ve been hiding. Okay? We said we were doing this together. That’s what we’re doing. Understand?” I couldn’t reply with one single word. Not even a nod. My eyes closed, my throat closed, trying to control it, and tears slid down my face. Paxton abruptly stopped, let go of me, and stood. “F*ck this, Gabriella. F*ck. I’m sorry. F*ck. I’m just so f*cked up over all of this. You forget to stop and think about what it’s like for me. Look at what you’ve brought into this house over the last few months. How do you expect me to be?” Words spewed from my mouth as tears slid down my cheeks. “This isn’t working, Paxton. Let’s stop. I can’t do this with you anymore. I bring out the worst in you, and you do the same to me. It’s not fair to either one of us. We can be good parents without one another.” Paxton looked at me like I’d just punched him in his other eye. “We’re not quitting. No, Gabriella. We’re not quitting. Don’t you ever think you’re leaving me. You’re never leaving, not even if we find out that you’re the wrong wife. You did this. You’re not going anywhere.” “There’s not a lot you can do to stop me, Pax. I can’t do this thing with you.” I jumped a little when he moved back to my side, afraid of him for a second. “I’m sorry, Gabriella. I’m sorry. I don’t want it to be like this. I’m sorry. I swear I won’t get mad. I know you don’t remember any of this, but damnit. It’s so frustrating. Where the f*ck was I? Why didn’t I notice this going on right under my nose?” “Paxton, I don’t know.”
Was that convoluted or what! And talk about dysfunction! And zigging and zagging! And hot and cold! And nuts! Gah!!!
First, you get this WTF prologue! Then it picks up shortly after where the first book ended. Then you slowly learn things along with Gabby. Then... hmmm...
I admit, it felt on the anticlimactic side. But honestly, this got me either scratching my head or frowning for the most part. I don't understand any of their reactions for the most part. I don't understand why certain things went down the way they went down. I don't understand a lot of things. But it's all good. There were things I understood, like the emotions, the doubts, the inner struggle.
To say that Gabby is not your usual h is putting it mildly. After all, not all h has the challenges she had. Can I blame her for some of her decisions and actions? I'm not sure.
Paxton is a H that got me fanning myself one minute and fuming the next. I went from wanting to slap the crap out of him to wanting to give him a pat on the head to kicking the sh!t out of him to wanting to just give him a hug.
Jettie also made me question everyone's motives, from the H&h's to the other players in this twisted messed up setup. Right til the end, seriously.
For that, kudos to Jettie for what I think is an appropriate ending to this headache-inducing tale of deception and love that's unhinged on one hand yet fitting on the other.
