I Married My Grumpy Patient! 76- THE LAST THING I DO...
The tears did not dare leak from my eyes. I wasn'r sure how at that moment, but I knew my heart was hurting, my mind was spiraling out of control, and every fiber of my being wanted to go after her, jump off that roof as well because a part of me shattered when she pulled away. I stumbled back and for a moment I felt dazed. The image of her in the group replayed over and over again like a broken record. My eyes stung with fresh tears and I swallowed thickly. "C-Christie–" That voice wasn't mine. I turned slowly and saw Alexander. His hands were dug in his hair and I could feel the emotion in his eyes. It was the same feeling — the same emotion I felt when Stefan jumped out of the window. It was a mix of helplessness and anger. For years I blamed myself for this death and maybe that was why I tried my best to save Christine because I never wanted anyone else to feel that way — to feel that pain that tears you open from within. Grief came in different forms, sometimes it was seeing

Each moment felt like a ticking time bomb, there was a volcano inside me and it was desperate to erupt and splash on everyone.I was sure that each step I took, only pressed against the aching need and guilt that had plagued me since that night. I had several thoughts running through my mind and the scariest part was that they revolved around two words; What if?What if I had held Christine back when she went in search of Arjun? I knew he was a criminal. I knew he was a psychopath, yet I allowed her to go after him. I wipe my sweaty hands on the black jeans I had wiggled myself into this morning — One of the many dressed Christine had gifted me when I arrived at the Moore Mansion. The salty taste of my tears explored my mouth and I bit hard on my lip. I should have stayed. My beef was with Alexander. The problem was with the feelings I had for him and not the relationship I shared with Christine. No matter how many times I turned and twisted on her bed last night; I could not get

The edges of his lips curled into a perfect smile. I lunged at him and slammed his chest in rage. My short hair slapped my face and I attacked him with whatever strength I had left."It was you, wasn't it!" I yelled in a frantic tone. "You hurt you! You abused her! You piece of crap!" I screeched and tugged at his collar.Arjun kept his facial expressions composed. His eyes didn't blink for a moment and his lips remained curled into a perfect smile while he stared at me intensely with his grey eyes. I could taste the lust in his heart from where I stood. I must have been stupid. I took a step back and laughed at my stupidity, how could I ever try to reason with a serial rapist. He wasn't at fault, he wasn't the real antagonist in this story. "You!" I roared and turned to Lucia's form on the ground, I lunged at her but Arjun held me back. "Yes, hold her right there. Don't let her move, we'll figure out what to do with her now." Lucia spoke breathlessly and stood up, she sighed and r

The sound of shuffling and battered breaths from above forced me to open my eyelids. My hair had stuck to my skin and I could barely breathe. “I’m going to get you out of here! Don’t worry!” A feminine voice called out sharply. I tried to nod my head but my neck refused to cooperate. I tightened my fists and forced myself to stay lucid. The sound of something banging on the casket invaded my ears and I winced. I did not have time to catch my breath though because within a few seconds; The sun's rays hit my skin and fresh air flooded into the small casket. Once I was relatively fine, I blinked and my eyes widened at the person who stared back at me with misty eyes. “Amber!” She cried and lunged at me. My hands hung at her sides in shock. Her long brown hair hung below her shoulders and I sucked in a sharp breath. She was the last person I had expected to see in Los Angeles. What was Alicia doing here and how did she find me? “A-Alicia?” I questioned with furrowed eyebrows, “How did

"Alicia," I spoke softly when she came into my line of sight, her dark silky long hair slapped her cheeks and she had dark bags under her eyes. She casually tied her hair into a ponytail and dragged a chair I had not noticed closer to me. "You gave us a scare there. It's been twenty-four hours, Alexander has been going insane, and me—" Alicia paused and tears filled her blue orbs. "I Don't want to lose you, Amber," She confessed and let out a sob. "I can't bear to lose anyone else after Stefan and Dad. We've already lost too much!" Her voice raised an octave and I sat up and pulled her into a hug. I ran my hands over her back and let her sob into me. "That won't happen," I promised in a soft tone. "I've made sure of it, you—""You almost died," Alicia informed. "Don't lie to me, Don't pretend that everything is fine when it isn't! Nothing is making sense, and you do have a lot to explain." Her face hardened as she spoke and I knew she had every right to be angry and frustrated. I

"Everything is still the way it was." Moore's voice filled Christine's room and I traced my hand over her dresser, I glanced at the door and recalled the night she had saved me from Andrew. We had slid down that door and spent the night talking to each other. The memories were hard to swallow and accept. The trust that we would never be able to share those moments clawed at me and in my distress, the only thing I could have was how to make Lucia and whomever she was working with pay for this. They had to pay. No matter what it took.My eyes darted to the desk where my phone sat, I took quick strides toward it and I could feel Moore's eyes on me as I added a few numbers and pressed the phone against my ear. There was only one person I could ask for help now. "Belene." The name rolled out of my mouth and I crumbled to the bed. "I heard what happened." She responded in the same tone. "I am so sorry Amber, I know you cared about Christine. And at a point, I did too.""Lucia killed her.

I exited the room and raced down the stairs to the entrance of the house when I reached the spot they were supposed to be at; It was empty. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I had to find Moore as soon as possible. I turned and caught sight of a trail of blood, my heart can't be in my chest and I followed the trail to the store at the back of the house. The door was slightly open and I could hear some grunts and winces, the moment my foot hit an inch of the room, I was pulled in roughly and slammed to the ground. I hissed in pain and tender hands pulled me up. I sighed and locked eyes with Moore. "What are you doing here?" He asked with a straight face and covered my line of sight. I pushed him away slightly and mentally face-palmed when the sight in front of me slapped me. "No Moore," I protested and Arjun groaned. He tugged at the ropes that bound him to the chair he was currently sitting on. "This is not how to fix things." I tried to explain when I saw blood dribbling

“Okay, hold up, who are you?” I expressed my thoughts and eyed her down. Her shoulders slacked and she tied her loose hair into a messy bun. The edges of the woman’s lips curled into a perfect smile and she extended her hands to me gingerly. “I’m Roose. Roose Maurine. Belene contacted me a few hours ago to reach out to you and well I met this mess.” She explained sharply, I had requested for Belene to reach out to a Reporter, not a blonde good-looking lawyer. It took me a few seconds to register what she was saying so I sucked in a sharp breath and spoke. “So, what can be done?” I asked with a straight face. Maurine clasped her hands together and glanced around a bit before making eye contact. “First things first, you need to show me where they are.” She offered sharply. I parted my lips to ask how she knew they were even here, but she beat me to it with an easy smile. “I have contacts of my own.” She responded with ease. I did not like this woman I fought against my hesitance an

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
