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

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 hate you." I spat and ran my hands through my hair. Our wedding was in two weeks. The engagement had already happened and now I found out that he had a wife and two kids somewhere in Manila — Yet he wanted to marry me as a second wife? “Don’t say that…” James began and I rolled my eyes. “What? That you’re a lying cheat? That you wanted to walk me down the aisle while you had a wife and two freaking children?!” “Keep your voice down, Amber—” “What?!” I snapped, glaring at him. “No, you keep your mouth shut.“ I pulled the engagement ring off my finger. “Because I am not so desperate that I will marry a liar.” My eyes stung with tears and my stomach twisted as I glared at that man I had been willing to walk down the aisle with. The entire alliance had been fixed to ensure my family's fortune was secured. “You are going to regret this. Everyone is waiting—” “Who?” I raised an eyebrow. “Mother? Alicia? Wait.” I paused. “Do they know?” I wrapped my arms around myself and

A sob escaped my lips once I entered a cab. I couldn't believe I had done it. For several years I dreaded the moment I would take over from my mother and manage the finances of our family. I wanted a simple life; That wasn't too much to ask, was it? Yet in my family, it had always been different. Mother was obsessed with dictating our futures and playing chess with the outcomes. Everything went downhill after my father died. She changed completely and she became a control freak. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time and fix whatever broke in her the day he died. The car pulled to a halt and I gasped at the movement. "We're here ma'am" The driver's thick voice pulled me back to reality. I swallowed. The last time I had been here; It ended in a huge argument. Belene would not be pleased to see me. But she would be pleased to know my decision. I paid for the cab and got out of the car. I took in a deep breath and stared at the apartment in front of me for a few moments. Well, h

I rolled my eyes for the millionth time as Belene stuffed more things into her shopping basket. We had just arrived in Los Angeles and the first thing she decided to do was go shopping. Of course— she dragged me along. "These will look perfect on me, right?" Belene asked with wide eyes as she shoved Victoria's Secret lingerie in my face. "Don't throw that around!" I warned sharply, feeling a blush spread across my face. The brown-haired girl simply rolled her eyes and continued shopping. I sighed and felt my shoulders slump, by the looks of things; we would be here a while before we got to the apartment Belene had chosen for us.Instead of waiting for Belene to spend her entire paycheck at the mall, I decided to look around a bit and find something that may suit me. If I was going to look for a job here; my dinner dresses would not pass the interview, especially if I wanted one at Moore Hospital. I took the elevator and walked into the office wear section. They had a variety of t

"No. no. no." I mumbled under my breath and crouched down beside him. I reached out to help but he slapped my hand away and glared at me. I almost recoiled but instead sucked in a deep breath and reached out again. This time, I matched his gaze. Icy blue eyes glared daggers into my soul but I could see the fear hovering like a cloud in them. "I need you to put your head between your legs, can you do that?" I asked with a straight face. "Stay away." He growled. "I-I don't like you either," I blurted out. "But I am a trained psychologist, I am trained for situations like this, so please—" "So, you are a shrink?" The man spat and I blinked in exasperation. "I knew you were bad news." He added and continue struggling to breathe. "When are these doors going to open? How can an entire team be so incompetent?!" His thick arrogant tone almost made me flinch and I backed away a bit. Sharp breaths escaped his lips and he rocked back and forth. His fringe was drenched and beads of sweat

I sighed and plopped back in my chair when they finally exited the room. Irene, my secretary walked in almost immediately and gave me a file. “This came in for you ma’am.” She announced and left. I ran my hands through my hair and licked my lips. It better be good news because so many strange things had already happened in less than twenty-four hours. I grabbed the file that was wrapped up in a package and briskly tore it open. My breath caught in my throat when the first image fell out. It seemed to be one of many. One of the many photos James had taken with Alicia as his bride. My eyes widened and the pictures fell from my grip. I knew I was unwilling to get married. I knew that I was furious and felt betrayed. I was flat devastated. But if there was anyone I had truly loved and saw myself spending the rest of my life with; It was James. How was this even possible? How could someone willing to do the rest of his life forget me in less than two weeks? Here I was, battling an

The Moore mansion was Grande. Every single inch was particular and made to perfect taste. From the chandeliers to the furniture and the Elegant paintings that sat on the gold-plated walls. When I was younger; My father had always spoken about how he wanted to work with Moores one day. He was as fascinated with them as I was. The only difference was that I was in it for my career. He was in it for business. “You look perfect,” Christine commented when we locked eyes.I kept my lips pursed in a straight line. I had practically been whisked out of work for this circus, so I hoped it would be worth it. There were maids everywhere, running around like ants; attending to various things that didn’t even need attention: until now, I thought my mother had OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) because of how she handled everything, but these people took things to a whole different level. “Louisa!” A woman practically cried. I raised an eyebrow in the direction of the voice. She looked a lot

"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
