I’ve spent my life building walls.
Doing things the quiet, organized, controlled way.
And most of the time it works just fine.
I like being simple and neat.
Predictable.
Not complicated.
Not messy.
Not like a certain someone I could mention.
But that someone isn’t in my life at the moment, which is also neat.
I do things my way—my careful, cautious, risk-averse way—and that works for me in every part of my life.
My career is stellar.
I’m an executive in a Manhattan empire, and while my job can be stressful at times, I’ve never failed at it.
I’ve never failed at anything in my life.
I don’t take risks, so I don’t take failures.
Neat.
Simple.And then it all changes.
Everything changes in one fell swoop when Evelyn Carrero gets pregnant.
