I Married My Grumpy Patient! 55- WHAT HAVE I DONE?
"I will fight for you, Amber," Alexander promised and I wiped my tears. "I won't let this end here," he added. "You are getting married soon. Your engagement is a few days away," I paused and the edges of my lips curled downward. "How can you stand here and tell me you love, that you will fight for me if you belong to someone else?" I spat and glared at him through my eyelashes. When I did not receive a response, I left the terrace to see Christine sitting up. "Christie, how are you feeling?" I asked in a soft tone, the blonde-haired girl glanced around for a moment before her eyes focused on me."Tired, very tired. What happened?" she asked and furrowed her eyebrow at me. "You fell down the stairs." I explained in one breath, "We've been worried about you." I confessed and broke the distance between us. Christine stared at me as if she was gauging my mood, her eyes narrowed at me and she held my hand. "You were crying." it was not a question. "What happened?" I wiped my tears an

I turned to Christine and realized she was boring holes into my skin with her glistening blue eyes. I mouthed 'I'm sorry' but she raced off and a tear rolled down my cheek.I could faintly hear Alexander and everyone else race after her. I had hurt her badly. No matter what; That was her secret to tell and how the entire world knew. They knew that her father had abused her. I didn't understand how it must have been to have a father like Andrew, but I knew how painful it could be when privacy was breached. I turned to follow them and caught sight of Lucia. My fists tightened and the edges of my lips curled down to form a tight frown. I marched over to her and grabbed her hand, confusion flashed over Lucia's features and she yanked her arm from my grip. "What is wrong with you?!" She demanded in a hushed tone and I glared at her. "What is wrong with you!" I retorted. "We never agreed that you were going to leak that information!" I spat and ran my hands through my brown hair. "What

"But how are we going to do that?" I asked and Christine pulled me into her room, she locked the door and turned. "We'll postpone the engagement." She offered in a confident tone. "Again, how are we going to pull that off? Right now; that engagement is the best thing that can happen, you need to seem like a supportive family." I explained and Christine rolled her eyes. She tied her blonde hair into a loose bun and plopped down on the bed. "Right now, what we need is to stop this engagement no matter what and I have an idea that will work. I need you to support me though, can you do that Amber?" Christine asked and we made eye contact. I sighed and ran my hands over my face.I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, I wanted to teach Alexander a lesson for all the pain he put me through and on the other hand, I wanted to protect Christine from the pain that was coming her way."You can count on me," I finally spoke and licked my lip. "Always," I reassured and she hug

I could feel Alexander's eyes off on me as I walked into the part with Christine. The dark-haired man was spotting a black suit and had his fringe styled to the back, Marissa on the other hand stuff to a blue rosy dress with her hair tied in a bridal bun. She shot me a shirt as I walked toward them and I rolled my eyes. "I can't believe this is happening," Christine mumbled in a tearful tone. I squeezed her hand and whispered; "Don't worry, this is just the engagement. We lost the battle, not the war." I ended my statement and locked eyes with Alexander. His words rang in my head over and over again. If he did not want to get married, then why was he doing this? He claimed that he loved me and he wanted to fight for me. yet, for some reason, he was going through an alliance that would tear us apart forever. I wasn't going to stop anything. He had to stop it, if he loved me, then he would stop it."I have a feeling that we have already lost everything," Christine spoke as she sat d

“I won’t let you get your way. Never Lucia.” I spat in her face. Lucia rolled her eyes and smiled. “You are not even a worthy opponent,” Lucia informed me and took casual steps inside the study. I followed her. She traced her fingers on the shelf and stopped at a particular book. “When I was young, my parents always fought.” She explained. “Every single day.” Lucia made eye contact with me and the edge of her lip curled into a tight smile. “I never knew why,” she pulled out the book and turned to me. “Till that night. That brutal night that changed my entire life.” Her brown eyes glistened with tears. She wiped them abruptly and continued. “Father was furious. He was untamable.” Her eyes glossed over and her grip on the book tightened. “That truth completely ruined my life and I lost everything that night. I lost myself.” Lucia declared and tossed the book aside. We locked and she took slow steps toward me. “What truth?” I whispered but maintained eye contact with her. Lucia smil

I plopped down on the chair and watched as Lucia exited the room. I never thought my past could come back and haunt me in Los Angeles.I could vividly remember the incident with the girls, it was after junior year. They had teamed up and assaulted me. They touched me and hurt me and I was angry. I felt broken, I felt devastated, and dirty. No matter how many times I washed; I could not get the stench of that night off my skin. So I decided to burn everything down. When the fire broke out, I saw my opportunity. I locked the doors of the locker room and I turned on the soundproof settings. They burned to death and no one could hear their screams or cries for help — As no one could hear mine.As cruel as it may sound, I did not regret a thing I did that night. They all deserved that pain. But how did Lucia find out about that? Just how deep had she dug into my past? If she was just like me, or anything remotely close to me; Lucia would not spare Christine or Alexander, but how could I

"Wake up! Wake up!" Christine shrieked and my eyes shot open. I sighed and sat up. The blonde-haired girl was over the moon about this trip. Maybe the picnic was a good idea after all.I glanced at my clock and groaned. This was the millionth time she had whisked herself into my room to demand that I wake up and it wasn’t even four am yet. “Christie...” I mumbled with one eye half closed “It’s too early” I groaned and hid my face in the sheets. “Oh come on!” she tugged on my legs and I rolled my eyes. “I Don’t want to go down alone and face those vipers, or else, I would just end up killing them with my hands!” She snapped and emphasise with her small fingers. I was up now. Fully awake at the thought that she wanted to go against Lucia and Marissa. “Fine, fine,” I offered in a defeated tone and swung my legs across the end. I paused before I stood up and turned to the girl who was still in her pajamas, her blonde hair was loose but secured with a pin and her flip-flops felt too big

“This is all my fault,” Christine mumbled dejectedly when we walked towards the picnic ground. “No, it isn’t,” I debunked and held her hand tight, she turned and frowned at me “Xander and you fought because of me, and like a dummy, he said hurtful things.” She reminded me and I blinked away the flashback from a few hours back. It had been three hours since we arrived here and Christine was still shaken up by the events. Alexander had insisted that we postpone the trip but Christine was persistent because she did not want to stay in the house a moment longer. The blonde-haired girl paused and stood in front of me. “You don’t have to do this,” she admitted, I raised an eyebrow at her words. “You don’t have to take these insults to try to get back with Alex anymore.” She offered and I smiled at her sadly and ran my hands through her soft hair. “He doesn’t know... But he’s gradually losing you and one day, you won’t be here to accept his apology.” a tear rolled down her cheek and I wi

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
