“Fine then,” I snapped and glared at Moore. “Don’t let me go,” I told him, “ it makes no difference to me anyway,” I continued and took a step past him, “Because I have already moved on from you—”“Why are you lying to yourself, Amber?” Moore asked in return. “Do you genuinely believe that if you say this over and over again it will suddenly become the truth?” He deadpanned and I sucked in a sharp breath.I ran my hands through my hair and breathed. “How can I explain this to you? In what way can I say it so you understand?” I searched his eyes as I spoke. “We are in two different worlds now, Moore. I am no longer a psychologist and you aren't some bachelor struggling to get over his ex-wife—”“I love you.” Moore shut my rant completely and we locked eyes. My heart raced in my chest and I stumbled back before I regained balance. “No, you do not love me,” I informed him and my eyes stung with tears, “if you loved me you would have tried to listen to me, you would have waited because I

“What can I do to make things better, Amber?” Moore whispered before he let out a gasp, His knees buckled and I caught him before he hit the ground. The force was a lot more than I could bear though, so when we told on the ground and he somehow ended up on me, we locked eyes and I whispered. “Stop trying to fix things, stop trying to re-build this relationship, I need space, I need time to think, I almost lost my daughter, you just found out that your wife is a murderer, Moore, right now, so much more is going on than our love,” I explained softly and the door opened at that exact time. “What are you doing here?” it was a female brunette who spoke, she had her hair tied into a ponytail and she eyed us down wearily. “This is staff premises, you cannot be here,” She explained sharply and I nodded before I walked past her and exited the room. Moore followed behind me till we reached the waiting room. “You are still here,” I whispered when he sat down beside me. “I wanted to see Christ

“This is the house?” Moore asked after we stepped out of his car and i nodded. It had taken us a few hours to finally navigate the place, turns up he was just bluffing about knowing the neighborhood. “So how are we going to do this? Do we just march in or should I get a—““Don’t move a muscle!” Someone barked and we turned to see Mark standing there. He had a pistol in his hand and he pointed at us. He looked like he had not aged a day and had his famous sadistic smirk plastered on his face, the one that had haunted my brother for years.“Put the gun down Mark.” I deadpanned and took a step forward but Moore held me back, I yanked my hand from his grip and took a another step forward. “Send him out. Let my brother come to me,” I demanded in a sharp tone. “Ain’t no brother of yours living here little lady.” Mark shrugged and stared at me closely. “But hold up, aren’t you that pretty lady on the news? The one that my son lives with…” The brown haired man trailed off and walked down th

The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the dull ache at the back of my head, I groaned and tried to sit up but my body did not cooperate. A particular gasp escaped my lips and I clenched unto the soft fabric within my grasp. I heard shuffling from beside me and I blinked. I glanced around the step white room before my eyes landed on my brown-haired misty-eyed mother. “You are awake!” Her voice was so Meade with emotion and I felt her trace her fingers on my hand.“Mom…” was the only thing I could say. “I was so worried, I thought I lost you!” She sobbed and held unto me.“I am… I am fine.” My voice was hoarse and my throat burned. My mother wiped her tears quickly and adjusted whatever she was sitting on so we could be closer. “H-how is Harvey?” I whispered and my eyelids almost closed out on me. “He is okay, he was really worried about you, and to be honest. I think something else is wrong, Alex took him through—““What?” I blinked away the weight from my eyelids.

“Thank you, Moore,” I whispered and liked away tiredly. “It’s nothing, Millie kept us sane throughout, we should thank her, she reminds me so much of you.” “M-Millie?l My ears perked up at his words and I glanced around the room but could not find anyone. “Who–”“It’s Christie,” My mother spoke softly and I snapped my head at her with a furrowed eyebrow. I had so many questions running through my mind at that moment but I bit hard on my tongue. “What do you mean?” my voice was low and soaked with confusion. “I don’t remember giving her that name,” I glanced between Moore and my mother. “You didn’t. Moore gave it to her, he wanted Christie to have a name like mine, you know... Mercedes...Millie,” She spoke in a lighthearted tone but I was not placed. “You cannot just change her name,” Ny's tone had an edge to it, “She already has a name,” I glared at Moore as I spoke. The dark-haired man sighed. “I didn’t change her name, Amber.” Moore clarified. “I just gave her a nice name,”“

I looked away and clenched the sheets. My sys stung with fresh tears. “Stop saying things like that...” I trialed off. “Amber...”“Don’t do this to me!” I snapped and turned to him. “Stop,” I demanded. “Stop feeding me and giving me invitations to a life that can never be! You are married to someone else, you have a son with her—”“But you are my wife! You are my wife!” He repeated and shot up from his seat. I blinked away tears and breathed. “I was your wife. Amber Scotland was your wife, but she is dead.” We made eye contact at my words. “She burnt in that fire that your second wife started.” I glared at him.“All that is theatrics.” Moore deadpanned and moved closer to me. “I love you, you love me—”“It’s not that simple.”“Why not?” Moore asked and waved his hands around frustratedly. “Why are you complicating things?!” He spat and breathed heavily. “Moore—”“Don’t Moore me!” He snapped and tears clouded his eyes. “What exactly am I being punished for Amber? What are we being pu

“Great!” Christie exclaimed and grabbed the book from me, before I could say or do anything else, Moore entered the room with the book in his hands. He had a small smile playing on his tips and his eyes sparkled with anticipation. I turned to Christie who immediately wheeled herself out of the room. “What are you trying to do?” I asked with a straight face. “Use Christie to get to me?”“Not everything I do is an agenda to get close to you,” Moore retorted and pulled a chair out of nowhere. I sat up on the bed and he sat down on the chair.Moore’s fringe hair was a mess. He had dark circles under his eyes. His perfect jawline ran just below his neck and He bit down on his plump lips as he scanned through the book I could not help myself from admitting that even though he looked more like the patient than I was, Alexander Moore was still as drop dead gorgeous as the first day we met. He raised his head suddenly and perfect blue orbs locked with mine, my breath caught in my throat. “Y

They froze in place and I parted my lips to speak again but at that point, I collapsed to the ground and everything went black. The next time I opened my eyes, Hayes was sitting in front of me holding the book I had chosen earlier in his hands. He had taken off his flannel and was now sporting a white shirt with a simple gold chain. “What are you doing here?” I whispered and stood up. “Well, after you collapsed, um, we brought you back in.” I paused and sighed. “But what about Belene?” “She stormed off, I guess she got the memo though,” a small smirk played on his lips as spoke.“She was furious after she heard you,” Moore paused and then continued softly. “I was too,” our eyes locked. “I guess I took your advice, the same way you took my mom’s,” I commented and his eyes widened. I knew it was mom who had told him about my insecurities.“She made the right choice though, I would have never —““Can we not do this right now?” I breathed. “Sure, um, we can read a book?” Moore waved

I Married My Grumpy Patient! 163- FINALE
EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER "Mom, do you think I'll do well today?" George asked, a touch of nervousness in his voice. I paused in adjusting the collar of his soccer jersey and turned around to look at him and myself in the mirror. I understood where his fears came from. George had a crucial tournament to play in, and he was the star player of his team. That came with a lot of expectations from people, which put a lot of responsibilities on his eighteen-year-old shoulders. I smiled warmly at him, making sure he saw years of love and support in my eyes that weren't going away for any reason. "You've trained hard, George. You'll go out there and give it your all. No matter the outcome, your father and I will always be proud of you." He grinned. "Thanks, Mom," he gave me a hasty kiss on the cheek and sat on the bed to put on his boots. The pride in my heart swelled as I watched him tie his shoelaces. "Hey Mom, how long does it take Dad to retrieve my soccer jacket? I'm almost finished
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 162- OUR LITTLE GEORGE
"Hey...you okay?" Moore asked softly, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. "I'm fine. I guess the spin on the beach has me a little dizzy. But I loved it." Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm bluish glow in the room. I sat on our bed, resting my back on a pile of pillows Moore had earlier stacked against the headboard. Moore lay beside me. His arms surrounded my swollen belly protectively, and his fingers made circular ticklish patterns. They made me giggle. We marveled at the miracle growing within me. Our baby, our little bundle of joy. "George is going to be such a lucky child," Moore's s voice held awe and tenderness. We had talked about naming him and agreed to name him George after my father. "And you, my love, will be an amazing mother. And you're an amazing psychologist. What do you think about practicing again after George is born?" I let out a soft sigh in agreement, but a hint of uncertainty lingered in my eyes. "I don't know, Moore. Pract
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 161- MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
"Come on up, Amber. We have to head home." He rose and held out his hand towards me. I shook my head. "I can manage. You go and start the car. Get it running. I just need a moment to breathe," I uttered. I could barely recognize my voice. It was rusty, and I felt pains in the back of my throat when I spoke. Scrambling to my feet, I sighed. "Well. This is it. I'm only leaving this place, but you're forever in my heart." The scorching desert sun bore down on my weary shoulders as I stumbled towards the car. The weight of grief still sat heavy in my chest. All I wanted to do was escape the suffocating air of this wilderness. As I neared the car, my vision blurred, and the world around me swirled into an incoherent mess of colors. Darkness crept in, swallowing my consciousness, and I crumpled to the ground. "Amber!" I heard Moore's panicked cry a distance away, and the shuffling of his footfalls as he rushed to my side to gather my fragile form into his arms. "Amber, Amber are
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 160- YOU AND ME, FOREVER
"No, Moore," I replied, my voice heavy with determination. "She's cost me too much. We did the same with Louisa, and she only escaped. I won't let Alicia slip through our fingers again." "Amber, we will make sure the police do their job well if that's what you're afraid of. But we can't take the laws into our hands just like that. Let's follow due processes," Moore's voice pleaded with me from the driver's seat, his words laced with reason and the hope for justice. He tried to convince me that we should turn Alicia over to the police, and let them handle the consequences of her actions. But I couldn't bring myself to comply. Not this time. The weight of our past, the pain Alicia had inflicted upon me, resurfaced with every word. Forgiveness and love had always been one-sided, a futile attempt on my part to salvage what was lost. Now, it was time for me to take control of my destiny. And that will begin by making sure that nobody, starting with Alicia, could ever hurt me or my love
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 159- LET US START AGAIN, FAR WAY.
Moore was quiet. I couldn't blame him. My heart was too heavy, and what I was feeling could not be expressed in words. But his care, concern, and need to make me feel better warmed my heart. The door swung open, and the person responsible for our abduction finally stepped into the room. "It's about time you showed yourself, coward," Moore bit out at the approaching figure who didn't spare him a glance. She was focused on me. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes locked with familiar orbs. No way. This could not be. But it was: Alicia, my step-sister. The one who had torn our family and separated me from Moore all those years ago. The mix of anger and fear welled up inside me, but I held my ground, refusing to show any sign of weakness. "Well, well, well! We meet again, sister," she sneered and cackled, swinging a silver Swiss Army paring knife. I was sorely tempted to scream at her and wipe that smirk off her face, but I pulled myself together. Don't give her satisfaction. Alic
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 158- I HATE THIS. ALL OF IT
Mum and Christie… They were dead. How? Why? My heart pounded and a pool of tears found its way to the back of my eyes. They threatened to pour as I stared at Moore hastily driving towards the house. The tires screeched and he drove past other cars. With the way he drove, every other person could tell it was an emergency — an emergency because I needed to see him. I wasn't able to believe it. No, my dreaded thoughts couldn't have come to reality. Mum and Christie couldn't be dead. I'm sure the call was a prank call. I was excited yesterday — I was problem-free. It couldn't have happened. My Christie will be safe. But then it rang in my head again. If Christie was in danger, then it was my fault. I was probably the worst mother on earth. We left France in the morning. We took the next flight back here. I needed to be sure the call was fake; I needed Mum and Christie here with me. Thankfully, Moore's car came to a halt in our compound and I rushed out. I picked up my heels
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 157- THEY ARE DEAD...
I exhaled as I held onto the luggage. After Mum eavesdropped on the conversation, she offered to protect Christie. She insisted Moore and I went on a honeymoon A weird feeling tugged at my chest and worry filled my heart. Dreadful images filled my brain as I thought of it. Is it safe to leave Christie alone? I shut my eyes as I pondered on it. Of course, it was, my prolactin hormone was just at work. Christie will be safe. "Amber," Moore called and I opened my eyes. He gave me a warm smile and took the luggage from me while I turned to Christie. After this, I will make sure I get to spend time with her. "Christie" I called and bent down to her level. We were in front of the building about to leave but I had to make sure I talked to her. "Be fine, okay? Mum will come back soon. Take care okay?" Her giggle filled my ears and she pulled me into a hug which I reciprocated. I broke the hug and peppered her face with kisses which made her chortle. She was indeed a sweetheart! "Bye M
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 156- I WILL PROTECT HER.
My chest fell and rose as I watched the police take Louisa. I couldn't believe she had escaped from the prison. I knew she wanted to harm me, she was desperate to cause me pain but I didn't expect her to break away from prison."No, you just can't —" Louisa's protest was cut short when the officers grabbed her arm as they led her to the van. The officer turned to me and I bit hard on my lip.My thoughts had begun to wander off. Will it keep happening over and over again? Did I deserve no peace? Why did Louisa cause me pain on things I didn't know about?I couldn't understand it. I whipped my head to Moore when I felt his soothing touch that caused my heart to pound. He pressed my hand softly and I looked up at him.His eyes held the warmest and softest expression I could read; I could read the hope and pain that hid behind his lids."Stop it. Stop it, Moore, you can't keep touching her that way. I hate it!" Louisa yelled as her eyes bore holes into my skin. Veins popped out on her for
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 155- I BEG YOU.
I sucked in a sharp breath, the pressure pressed down on my neck made it hard for me to even breathe. My head was pressed back hard against the pillow beneath as the figure above me pressed down even harder than before.The darkness made it impossible for me to see who it was, I only felt cold palms grasped at my throat. My eyes flew open in both shock and panic, small ragged gasps escaped my throat as I felt the air start to leave me. My heart, once quickly beating slowed in tempo and my eyes widened in desperation.No, I couldn't die. I can't die just yet — at least not in this way. I couldn't let them kill me like this.Small coughs erupted from my lips, I wheezed, now desperate to survive, and used my last bit of strength to scream for help as I pushed the figure back with all my might.My push made the figure fall to the ground and I used that opportunity to reach for my light lamp as I coughed painfully, and gasped greedily for breath. The lamp came on, its light wasn't bright b
