Beautifully Shattered (The Beautifully Series Book 1) Read Online Free PDF

I’m glad as my brother doesn’t deserve to suffer like me.
He’s innocent.
    “I know, Connor. I’m
not mad at them. I just wish Jax didn’t make a big deal out of
this. Between the two of them, I don’t know who’s worse.”
    His twin dimples are
prominent. “If you haven’t noticed, Jax likes to make a show out
of everything when it comes to you.” Before I can say anything, he
quickly changes the subject. “Have you picked your dress for the
Masquerade Ball yet or are you—” He breaks off when there’s a
soft knock on the door.
    We all turn to see a
tall, muscular doctor with sandy blond hair that just can’t seem to
stay in the right place. Tonight is getting better and better.

Chapter Two
    “What are you doing
here?” I ask even though I know the answer.
    He’s wearing a white
lab coat with his endearing smile. “I got called in for a possible
concussion.” He shrugs as if it’s no big deal. It is.
    I stare wide-eyed at
Kohen. Then at my confused brother. Logan moves to my side. I know
overprotective brother syndrome is emerging, fast.
    “Have you two met?”
he asks me but his focus is solely on Kohen.
    I can tell Kohen
interprets Logan’s question as innocent. Logan knows everyone in my
life. I already know he is itching to place a call to his PI to
investigate Kohen. Being the gentleman that he’s shown me he is,
Kohen steps forward and extends his hand to Logan and then to Connor.
    “Yes, we met earlier
this evening at the gym. I was the one who bandaged her up and
insisted that Adalynn seek medical attention. However, Adalynn is a
little stubborn and refused to go until her boyfriend came in and
rescued her.”
    “Boyfriend?” Logan
asks, baffled, at the same time Connor says, “Don’t we know it.”
    Luckily Kohen is
studying my CT scans so he’s not paying much attention to them. I
notice that his smile slips for a second. I can feel Logan’s gaze
on me, but I don’t acknowledge him. He shouldn’t have to ask
about the boyfriend comment; he knows I’m unattached.
    “There’s no
swelling, or anything else to be concerned about, but I would still
like to check your balance, reflexes, coordination, vis—”
    I interrupt him as I
know exactly what he has to do. “Vision, and any possible memory
loss.”
    He doesn’t seem
surprised that I am familiar with the examination. Maybe he realizes
I’m accident-prone. That could be a new thing that shows up on CT
scans now.
    He pulls out a silver
looking pen that I recognize as a flashlight. “Look to the left,
good. Now the right, good. Follow the light with your eyes please.”
    “Well?” Logan ask
impatiently once Kohen finishes testing my reflexes.
    Kohen turns to my
pacing brother. “I need to check her balance next and then I’ll
be done.”
    “Is she going to be
okay?” Logan asks, ignoring the fact that the examine isn’t over.
“Yes, she has a slight concussion but she’ll be fine.” He
focuses on me again. “Stand up, please.”
    I do everything he
asks, wishing with each command that we were alone so he wouldn’t
have to deal with the my brother. He’s already had to come in on
his day off. I want to make this as easy as possible for him, and him
receiving the third degree from my brother isn’t easy for anyone in
the room.
    His back is to the door
when Jax swaggers in and Connor decides to make matters worse. I have
no idea how I’m even surprised by anything that he says. I should
be used to it by now, but not even a lifetime with this guy can
prepare me for what comes out of his mouth.
    “Oh, look here’s
the boyfriend now.” He tilts his head toward Jax.
    “I’ll hide your
body where nobody will ever find it,” I mutter only loud enough for
Connor to hear.
    “Boyfriend? Ahh
Connor I’m touched, but baby you’re not my type.”
    Kohen looks from Connor
to Jax, then finally to me. Connor and Logan aren’t even trying to
hide their grins now while Jax is momentarily surprised to see
