CHAPTER 44: Loss
Last Updated:
2025-04-04 12:00:34Because Stella is my patient, I have been extra cautious—especially given the recent deliberate attempts to damage my professional reputation.
Last night, Gianna and I uncovered something, which kept me at the hospital until two in the morning. I had asked her to watch over Kyros, and I was certain she would have noticed anything unusual.
On our way to the hospital, she laid everything out for me.
“You need to stay calm and composed, no matter what they accuse you of. They will pin this on you, especially because of your connection to Kyros Ferrero. Just as you suspected, this appears intentional.”
She meticulously detailed her observations and discoveries from our trip. I could only listen, my jaw clenched, feeling a mounting sense of frustration and helplessness.
By the time we arrived, the tension was suffocating.
Inside the ward, Stella was sobbing. Her face was pale, grief-stricken, as she mourned the

[A quick flashback to the previous day...]“Dr. Smith, we need to obtain samples from the mother to evaluate potential risks to her fetus,” I suggested carefully.Beyond the fact that Stella and her unborn child are now family, it’s my duty as a doctor to ensure no complications. “Please consult with her husband about the procedure. Thank you for the recommendation,” she replied.In a situation like this, where Stella nearly miscarried, we must ensure there are no complications for her baby.Upon returning to the clinic, I realized Gianna was nowhere to be found. What concerned me more was realizing that I hadn’t noticed her presence for hours—even before I got called away for Stella’s emergency.While searching for my bodyguard, I noticed a message from Maximus, sent hours ago, inviting me

“Stella! I finally found you!” A man followed Gianna and stepped inside the hospital’s private ward.I had asked Gianna to call and tell him something terrible had happened to Stella—a calculated move designed to bring him exactly where he now stood. The moment she saw him, Stella turned deathly pale. Kyros clenched his jaw while his mother, Mrs. Ferrero, looked utterly confused. The others in the room exchanged questioning glances.The same unspoken question registered on the faces of everyone present: Who is this man? The man himself recoiled upon recognizing several of the people gathered.“Oh! I-I must have entered the wrong room!” he stammered. Gianna strategically positioned herself in the doorway as he attempted to retreat, blocking his escape. She fixed him with a penetrating glare that communicated: ‘Go ahead, try it.’ “You didn’t enter the wrong room,” I said, my voice calm yet firm. “You came here to see Stella, didn’t you? Don’t bother denying it. You were here last nig

Chief spoke again, the doubt clear on her face. “We just took the test yesterday. It will take a few more days before we get the results. How can you say this so soon? Are you certain about what you’re claiming?”The truth was, I had only used the mention of the test as a tactical maneuver to make Stella confess. I wanted her to understand that I possessed evidence, and that her deception would eventually be exposed. But as expected, the moment she realized the results weren’t out yet, she turned the blame back on me.“Gazelle, how could you do this to me?” she cried, her voice shaking with emotion. “This is revenge, isn’t it? Why are you being so cruel?”Her exaggerated sobs filled the room again, making others look at her with sympathy. I said firmly. “I’m not making baseless accusations. Ms. Mercer just stated earlier that the drug was inserted into her body, causing her to lose her child. How would she know that unless she had administered it herself?”I turned back to Stella, my

Kyros paused the video and turned to Stella, his expression hardening. “Tell the truth. Who is the real father of your child?”Pain flashed across Stella’s face, quickly replaced by indignation. “Kyros, I gave you my whole heart! How can you still love Gazelle after everything we’ve been through? Just admit it! You’ve been seeing each other again! You got back together!”Her voice rose with each accusation.“You’re just trying to pin the blame on me so you can divorce me guilt-free. You’ve been meeting in secret—I know it! I’m not something you can just cast aside! I am your wife, Kyros!”Kyros’ urges to physically hurt his wife was unmistakable. If not for the other man in the room, watching him closely and ready to intervene, he might have already acted on it.He pointed at the man. “Tell us the truth. Was he the father of your child,

The video continued, revealing Stella asking Tessa for medicine. Tessa provided the medication and carefully explained its proper usage. At that moment, Stella no longer had the energy to defend herself. As the footage played, the evidence was undeniable—there was no way she could deny her involvement in her child’s disappearance with everyone watching. Kyros’ mother, shaking with fury, couldn’t hold back. She slapped Stella hard across the face. “You shameless woman! I welcomed you into the Ferrero family, accepted you as my daughter-in-law—but I never imagined you could be this cruel!” she spat.Across the room, Stella’s lover paled, his legs giving out as he collapsed into a chair.“So, it’s true,” the man said, his voice laced with betrayal. “You were willing to abandon our child. You were ready to kill an innocent life—just to get what you wanted.” His fists clenched at his sides. “I’m disgusted, Stella!”Without another word, he stormed out, unable to bear the sight of her.St

Gazelle I was granted entry into Maximus’s office, feeling the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me. After the events at the hospital today, my mind was drained, and the chief resident kindly allowed me a moment to rest. All I wanted was to see my husband. When I pushed open Maximus’s door, I found him with his eyes closed, head tilted back against his chair, momentarily vulnerable in sleep. “Is it really okay for me to come in?” I asked his assistant, unsure.“Yes, ma’am,” he assured me with a respectful nod. I glanced at Gianna. “Please, take some rest at the villa.”I felt a wave of guilt wash over me for her. She hadn’t rested yet, staying up all night watching over Stella and still managing to handle an investigation. She looked fine outside, but I knew the toll it must have taken on her.“I’m safe here,” I added. Maximus had four bodyguards on this floor and a trustworthy team around him—no harm would come to me, I was confident.Gianna gave a slight nod and left.Appro

Maximus had been gone for three days, having left for Park Avenue on business, and I felt his absence acutely with each passing night. Despite our regular FaceTime calls that allowed me to see his face, the longing persisted. Today marked Tessa’s final day as an intern at the hospital. She denied the accusation that she had planned to harm Stella’s child. After all, it was Stella who had bribed her to eliminate the pregnancy. Whether or not Gianna and Kyros were still together, I had no idea.All I know is that Stella would do anything to avoid divorcing Kyros, especially now that she has his name as his wife. After emerging from the labor room, where I had spent six exhausting hours assisting with cesarean delivery, I realized I couldn’t locate Gianna anywhere. The mother was stable now, though she still needed a blood transfusion to restore her depleted levels. The department was bustling—three emergency cases had arrived almost simultaneously, keeping all medical personnel engag

Kyros “Mr. Ferrero, I didn’t do anything wrong. Please believe me,” Tessa pleaded, her voice trembling through her tears as I sat across from her in her small apartment. Her youthful face, framed by disheveled hair, projected an air of wounded innocence that was difficult to dismiss. I met her at a bar the same night I saw Gazelle, radiating a happiness that no longer had anything to do with me, with my brother. In my alcohol-clouded judgment, I mistook Tessa for her—just for a moment. But that moment was enough to set everything in motion. And so, I took her to a hotel. Like Stella, Tessa possessed a particular talent for flattery and attention that soothed my wounded ego. Their affection—or perhaps the performance of affection—provided comfort, especially during intimate moments when I could forget my troubles. As my marriage with Stella deteriorated, Tessa became my refuge. I was the one who secured her position at the hospital, partly motivated by a childish desire to provoke

Maximus I went to Park Avenue to see Dr. Castillo. Dante’s father was now living in the city, but that felt distant compared to the turmoil in my mind. Dr. Castillo asked, “Do these things feel real to you, or do you ever doubt them?” after I admitted that my mind had been clouded with uncertainty lately. It felt like Gazelle wasn’t real, yet she had the power to pull me back from those episodes.“I wanted to believe she was real… I never doubted her existence. It calmed me whenever I saw her smile or those blue orbs.”Dr. Castillo followed up with another question. “When did these experiences resurface?”“A day before I married her… I was scared. Jealous—of my friends, of anyone near her. I’m fucking terrified. I want her all to myself, but I know she wouldn’t be happy. And I’m afraid of what that could lead to. I feel obsessed.”“Do you feel the need to control what she does? Like her job?”I hesitated. “Sometimes… yes.” But making Gazelle happy was always my priority. “And I trus
