I decided to leave the hospital after making my final rounds for the day, I had after promised to help the girls with a girl's night out because it was phoebe's birthday today.

Phoebe came from a rich family where her parents barely had time for her throughout her childhood and teenage years, they were always on business trips and hardly made time for her birthday, or any occasion special to her.

The only person who ever made time for her back then was her nanny Rose but she could never take the place of her parents.

They would send her a lot of gifts, jewelry, and every other thing a girl could wish for to make up for their absence but still that wasn't enough for her.

With time she got used and now an adult she didn't let it affect her or her life, of course, she said still hated them for it but she choose to see the bright side of things, she said their absence gave her a lot of liberty and she grew to be more independent and see the bright side of things.

    "I'll take care of the bills, so we can leave," Phoebe said, signaling the waiter to our table.She moved her gaze to me like she knew I was about to say something."Eve, I know you're going to protest but I'm going to say it now, you're not going to stop me 'cause nothing is going to change my mind.""Good, so you know I would oppose.""I'll have to stick with Eve on this one, even though I like a good party." Rebekah agreed."Can you girls stop it already," Pheobe voiced as she slumped in the chair."I'm turning twenty-six with no love life and my life is as boring as fuck, my parents see it fit to always forget their daughter's birthday, and right now all I want to do is dance the night away, and be celebrated, so please, we will only be staying for five minutes, besides I know one close by, just down the road " Pheobe relayed, gulping down some more of the wine."Eve you're sticker for the rules and that's why I'm permitting you to drag me out of there if we spend more than five m

    "This can not be happening," Maya said when her eyes landed on the boorish stranger."Maya" He hissed with a smirk."How long has it been, seven, or eight years, you didn't even bother to keep in touch." At that point, Maya was shaking as if she had just seen a monster."Maya""Maya" Rebekah called, but Maya stood rooted to the spot, like she was in a trance, shaking while clenching her first, the music in the background didn't help matters either."Maya" Rebekah called again but with a softer voice, grabbing Maya gently by the hand."Mmm," Maya finally replied, snapping her head to the side to gaze at Rebekah."Is everything okay?" "Of course everything is alright, isn't that right...Maya" The ill-mannered strange cuts in."You shut..." Rebekah let out meeting his gaze but the words stuck to her throat when a body suddenly flew past her, falling to the ground, it was at that moment that we noticed how chaotic the club had become, people were running around like they were being chase

    I made my way to the VIP section for my morning rounds.Ugh, all this wouldn't be happening if Pheobe and the girls hadn't put such stupid thoughts in my head.My mind suddenly went back to last night, Maya was not okay after her encounter with the perverted man, her facial expression yesterday said it all, and she seemed almost horrified like she was looking into a nightmare.The fact that she knew the pervert had already been established, and her reaction must have something to do with him, but their connection was a case for me to solve, I've learned to respect people's space and privacy, besides knowing Rebekah I'm sure she's already on the case, I had far more important matters to think of like the book.I didn't want to accept the possibility initially but the circumstances couldn't be wrong, it had been on my mind lately but I wasn't sure I wanted to consider the theory.But what if everything was all staged?Stealing the book was too easy, it felt like it was handed to me on a

    She had just finally made herself comfortable in her seat.By the looks of things, it seemed like the conference was soon to begin.Eve moved her gaze around the arena, it was large and accommodating, she thought, then something suddenly caught her eyes.Professor Frank walked into the room with some other doctors who she concluded must be fellows as well.She moved her gaze from one doctor to the next to see if she had seen them before but there weren't many people she could identify.Then her gaze landed on a man with black hair dressed in a white coat just like the others but she was sure she had seen him before but where?Then it all clicked, he was the doctor from the bus who introduced himself as Jason, so he was also a fellow but she didn't remember any doctors in her department with the name Jason.She decided not to dwell on the thought, although the throbbing had lessened it was still there."OMG, who is that? holy crap." Someone suddenly squealed from behind her.Eve who ha

    Eve.With time I forgot about his presence, as I felt myself become more comfortable, I listened to the physician speaking and I found myself enjoying the conference.He welcomed the newly employed physicians, emphasized on few rules, and clarify many things associated with the hospital.Then I felt my neck begin to hurt, I had kept it in one place for too long, unconsciously, I turned my head to the side on impulse, and this happened to be the direction of the officials, I pulled back my head, tilting it slightly as I closed my eyes and when I opened them again my eye suddenly landed on him but as if knowing my gaze was on him he turned his head toward my direction and our eyes met. His beautifully silver-grey eyes rested on me and my breath caught.I had only gazed at him for a moment but it seemed that a moment was more than enough time for our gaze to meet, for a second I felt my heart would leap from my chest.I quickly retracted my eyes, feeling my face heat up in embarrassment,

    She moved her gaze further upwards, following a pair of long legs, then a pair of powerful arms and broad shoulders, and finally her eye met a pair of beautiful silver-grey eyes, framed by a well-defined face which was expressionless.His gold like blonde hair shined brightly completing his looks.The man standing before her was none other than Alexander Morgan.His silver-grey eyes rest on her, making her feel a little under his gaze, he excluded such a powerful aura that it was just hard not to notice."Are you convenient, sitting on the floor?."He questioned as he stared down at me." Uhm no" She mumbled, cursing inwardly.Suddenly she snapped out of her trance turning her gaze to the side.Of all people to bump into, why him?She searched for her goggles on the floor, and when she finally found them she picked them up, standing up from the ground.Talk about firsthand embarrassment, Oh god, she wished the earth would just open up and swallow her.Suddenly, a masculine but familiar

    Maeve."I know this might sound crazy, but I need you to meet him again."I almost choked on the noodles I was eating when these words left Rebekah's lips, and I sent a glare to her."Just hear me out." She began but I cut in, I just wasn't having anything of that."You're joking right?" I questioned, meeting her gaze, although, I wasn't seeing the humor in her words."I'm not, If you'll just let me explain.""Rebekah" I yelled, almost startling her." Can you even hear yourself, you want me to...""He wants to meet you again" Rebekah cuts in.I was speechless for a moment, as many thoughts immediately rushed through my mind."Now, I don't know why, but he wants to meet you, I got a call from a strange number this morning, I didn't know it was him until he introduced himself as Alexander Morgan, the blind date."Why would he want to see me after all the crazy things I had said to him, did he realize I was the woman from the blind date? what if he just wanted to punish me for lying to h

    Rebekah," I heard the familiar voice of someone I wasn't expecting to hear when Rebekah opened the door."You're here."Rebekah stepped aside, then my gaze landed on the fellow.Phoebe.She walked into my apartment while carrying a bag in her containing something, but I couldn't identify it."Phoebe," I said in surprise.Just what was she doing here? was it because the director sent her over?"Eve, thank goodness you're okay," She voiced as she walked towards me, giving me a light embrace."Hmm, you looked surprised.""Well I am, I wasn't expecting you." "Well," She started as she collapsed on the sofa" I heard you were sick, so here I am, I also brought recovery gifts"I moved my gaze back to the bag in her hand, wondering what it could be."Eve," She called and I moved my gaze from the bag back to her face."Hmm" I mumbled, meeting her gaze."Thanks for the gift, but you didn't have to... so you heard I was sick, was that from the director.""No" She drawled."I got the news from a nu

    "Who are you? and why are you here?"Of all people to meet, it had to be this guy.Alexander Morgan.He was the last person I wanted to see at the moment.Up close his face was even more appealing, and his lashes were beautifully long, then there was his nose and his cheekbone.Wait! what the hell was I doing?My wrist was hurting like hell and all I was doing was admiring this crazy man's looks.I forced my gaze to meet his eyes again, thankful I didn't let my gaze travel to his lips.The anger in his eyes depleted slightly when his eyes moved to study my face, and just when I thought the worst was over, his eyes suddenly hardened again, with anger greater than he had earlier.His grip around my wrist tightened, and suddenly he gripped my jaw with his free hand, something I wasn't expecting.Those silver-grey eyes were gleaming, I had never seen such beautiful yet usual eyes, I could see my reflection in them as the grip around my jaw tightened, our faces only inches apart."Why are y

    Three days later.I made my way to the local train station after the morning briefing with professor Frank, I could only entrust Nurse Caroline with my patients till I returned from the villa.After spending a few minutes on the train, I finally stepped down, deciding to take a cab for the rest of the journey.Today was my first day, working as a VVIP Physician for a special patient.I heard that the previous Physician was sacked, but I didn't know why, I mean if it paid as much as it did, and wasn't time-consuming, I didn't see why anyone would do anything that might cost her losing the job.I decided not to dwell on the reason he/she was fired and focus on the path in front of me.I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, I was crazy nervous but I tried to keep my calm.I was relieved when the senator told me that the VVIP patient would be his great-grandson.Nathaniel.It really had been a while since I saw him, I couldn't believe it but sometimes I found myself wondering how he

    "We've assigned you to be a special doctor for a VVIP patient.""what do you mean sir?" I couldn't help but ask."Doctor Maeve, this position is not just for any Doctor, you were allowed to handle such a patient because we the board believe in your capabilities, it's just like I said before the patient in discussion is a VVIP patient,"I fell silent for a while as I looked away from the director to gather my thoughts, processing the director's words.If I accepted this offer, wouldn't it hinder me from being the proper doctor to my patients, I didn't want to just be a doctor for the VVIP patients but he did say patient, not patients, so that would mean that it's just one person.Were they using the opportunity presented for commercial benefit?I subconsciously clenched my fist, I didn't want to do this, I'm not the type of Doctor who cared solely about monetary benefits, I didn't do what I did because I wanted to gain anything I did it because it was what I loved doing best."This wil

    "I believe you've fulfilled your role as a gentle," I muttered as I tried to restrain my anger."Whoever said I was a gentleman?"He retorted." Are you for real?""Do I love like a joker love? you know what's really suspicious is why you were being chased by those men, perhaps you could share "I was bereft of words, I opened my mouth to protest but I couldn't say a word.He turned his head to me, with his hands folded as he leaned on the monocycle like he had the whole time in the world to spare."Look, if I wanted to hurt you, I would have done that a long time ago."'Right, and you expect me to believe that' I wanted to say to him but I reframed from doing so, I just shifted my gaze away from him, turning my back to him as I fiddled through my pockets for my phone.I wanted to call the police perhaps if he saw how I was serious he would listen to me.But before I could dial the number I heard his voice from behind me."Time to go, sweetheart, I hailed a cab for Ya"I turned around

    "There she is get her!" I sprinted through the street in search of a means of escape.Things did not turn out as I planned.With a change in my dress code, I was able t access the VIP suit and I was just close to getting the information I needed when I was unexpectedly caught by a bodyguard.God, why was I so unlucky?Well at least on the bright side I had found valuable information about the book in my custody.Now I was sure it had something to do with all the criminals running illegal dealings in the country, but that was not enough, I couldn't say I didn't have my suspicions at first, but at least now some things have been clarified. But the key, ugh!I don't know where it is, if only it was in my possession I would have a valid lead to my brother, but I can't give up now because he's depending on me."There I see her!"I glanced backward, only to see the group of muscular-looking men, catching up to me.God no, what was I supposed to do if they caught me?I ran through the now

    But why did that make me feel slightly annoyed?I finished my lunch and walked out of the cafeteria.That man would be coming today, I had to put out my plan in motion, I didn't have time to think about anything else.""""I don't see him yet," I whispered into my communicator when I glanced around the club surreptitiously."Just give it a minute he'll be there soon, my sources couldn't be wrong, I got information that he would be at the club today,""Alright, I'll give it one more..."I stopped speaking...when I saw the person I was looking for."Wait...I've seen him,""Alright then but Eve, you have to remember not to approach him directly, I know you might be desperate to find... but you know that man is not one to be messed with,""I know... If anyone knows how dangerous he is then that would be me, he, after all, was the last person my brother had an encounter with before his disappearance, trust me I got this""Alright, I'll be waiting."I turned off the communicator as I watche

    I walked out of the emergency ward after helping out with some patients today.I stopped in my movements and glanced at my wristwatch, it was 2:00 pm, and I still had some time so I decided on getting something to eat but before I could move from the spot I heard a familiar voice."Excuse me doctor Maeve could I perhaps take a little of your time again"When I turned around I noticed a tall man with blonde hair and brown eyes alongside him was a slim attractive lady with red hair and blue eyes both dressed in white coats." Doctor Evans, Doctor Alexis, is there a problem?""Umm no, it's just that there's a little gathering later amongst some residents, they are friends of mine and I wanted to know if you'd want to be a part of it"" Leave her alone Doctor Evans, isn't she just a disdainful doctor that thinks she's better than the rest of us"."

I looked ahead and it seemed like an accident occurred."I'm sorry everyone, but as you can see there is an accident up ahead." The bus driver conveyed from where he sat at the front.People on the bus started to murmur, some were worried and hoped no one died in the accident, while others were pissed with the news."Another accident, I hope nobody got but.""Tell me about it, the accident rate these days is becoming alarming.""It's because of all those reckless and crazy drunk drivers, tsk, you can clearly see what society is turning into.""Oh great, as if I wasn't already late for the gathering, now that woman would kill me.""Everyone, calm down please," The driver begge

    I wonder what it could be that you're thinking about that has seemed to occupy your thoughts completely." Phoebe wondered out loud while narrowing her gaze at me.I shifted my gaze from her as I searched for my stethoscope, not ready to hear whatever she had concluded in her head."I wonder if it's about a certain secret admirer."I struggled not to roll my eye when these words left her lips.I picked up my stethoscope from the table."I hope you love the flowers, yours sincerely, the secret admirer" Pheobe read, her eye moving along the piece of paper."So tell me who is it?""Look, I don't have the time for any of this" I turned around, walking toward the door.Phoebe followed me out of my office and I couldn't help but wonder if she didn't have anything better to do.She continued talking for a while but I refused to listen to her, I just hoped she wouldn't tell the girls.Why did she remind me so much of Caroline?I made the final turn leading the patient's wards, thankfully along
