“Amber...” Belene trailed off and took a step toward me, she placed her hand on my shoulder. “How do you intend to do that though?” Belene asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“I am going back to Miami.” I declared and they both opened their mouths to object.

“James wants me to return so I can be his wife, he knows that I am divorced from Hayes and he can only truly have that twenty-five million dollars and my wealth when he married to me.”

“He knows today is your birthday.” Belene trailed off in realization.

“He knows I just turned twenty-five.” I clarified for a confused Moore. “My father’s wealth would go to his first-born daughter when she turned twenty-five and was married,” I explained sharply and they listened attentively.

“Or the second one, if she turned twenty-five and got married first. Mother married off Alicia, even though she was just twenty. I am twenty-five…”

“But you are not married, yet.” Belene reminded and I turned to Moore.

“That is where Moore comes in,” I spoke sha

    “Well, it went well,” I let out a sigh of relief as the nurse spoke. Belene squeezed my shoulders for comfort and I caught a glimpse of Moore walking towards us, he had a small bandage on his arm and seemed a little bit weary, but he was great overall. “The transfusion has already begun, their blood types were a match. I’ll leave you secure the procedure.” The nurse explained sharply and left us. Moore smiled at me, I walked into his arms and kissed him. “Thank you,” I spoke sincerely and he grinned. “It’s nothing. It’s the least I could do, you’ve done too much for me,” Moore responded and I let go. “I’ll never be able to repay this,” I whispered and my eyes stung with fresh tears. Moore cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead. “You don’t have to, let’s focus on what’s next.” Moore voiced out. “Ah, yes I agree.” Belene chimed in. “We should not waste any time, You guys, run along and find a registry to get married. I’ll stay with Alicia in the meantime and if anything happens,

    "You are awake," I breathed and sat down beside Alicia, the edges of her lips broke into a perfect smile and her eyes dropped."And you are here, by my side." She responded in a hoarse voice.I squeezed her hand and a tear rolled down my cheeks. "I was so scared that I would lose you at a point," I admitted softly and Alicia forced herself to sit up.I parted my lips to scold her for moving so rashly. "There's nothing to worry about, the doctors were in here like two minutes ago, they said that everything was fine and that I could leave as soon as I felt strong enough to," Alicia explained, "this is all thanks to you," she spoke softly and I smiled. "I-I don't know what to say," I croaked out and ran my hands over her hair, my eyes glistened with tears and I stared at her with dreamy eyes. "There's nothing to say," Alicia's voice was still hoarse. "I heard that you are a married woman now," I perked up at that and stared at her with wide eyes. "No— I, it's not like that at all, I—

  • I Married My Grumpy Patient!   96- FINALLY, YOU ARE MINE

    Soft laughter broke out from my lips the moment I saw Moore standing beside the car with daisies in his hand. He had a wide on his face and his eyes locked with mine. I paused and allowed myself to enjoy this moment. Tears leaked from my eyes and they were not tears of fear or pain. They were tears of joy. Moore was here, he was standing a few away from me. He was my Husband. I ran my hands through my hair and the cool evening breeze caressed my skin. It felt like a dream come through, almost like an insane illusion that could slip from my fingers at any moment and the moment he opened his arms — I ran toward him with full strength.He caught me and picked me up, I kissed him passionately and he wrapped his arms around my waist, we almost fell but he held me tight, we locked eyes and he chuckled heartily. "This is happening, right? This is happening!" I exclaimed and pulled Moore into another heartfelt kiss. Not just Moore. My husband. My Moore. I hugged him for a few minutes befo

    "Thank you, Moore," I confessed and wiped the tear that filled my eyes. "Thank you so much for all of this,"Moore inched closer to me and pulled me into a kiss, our noses brushed against each other and I opened my eyes. "I love you, I love you so freaking much," I admitted in a breathy tone. "...and I can't imagine a world without you in it, without—" I paused and glanced around, the garden glared back at me. It was the same garden we had shared out the first moment in, our first connection. With glasses and the stars as our witnesses. And to be honest, I wasn't sure when I fell in love, but I have a strong sense of feeling it had something to do with that night — that moment. "I love you, Amber," Moore whispered in my ears, and slow music played in the background. Adele's set rain to fire rang and his eyes went misty but a small smile played on his lips. Moore spun me around and I laughed loudly, He placed his hand on my waist and spoke confidently. "You are the best thing that

    My body ran cold and I glanced around. "Where are you?! Come out, you cowards! Come out and face me!" I sobbed over Moore's bloody body: I cried and forced myself to stand up. My eyes darted around for my cell phone or anything I could use to communicate. Maybe even call 911. Moore could not die on me like this, not right now. I found my phone but horror traced my bones when I realized it was red. "Moore," I placed my bloody hands on his cheeks. "Moore please hang on! Please don't leave me alone, not like this! Please!" I begged and sobbed while holding his body. "Where's your phone, your phone—" I whispered to myself and looked for his phone, it was nowhere to be found, I searched for it for a few more seconds before I found it on the ground, several feet away from us completely distraught. I stared at my husband, He was bleeding from his torso and had been shot in the chest. Moore's breathing was shallow. I could not lose him, I could not lose anyone else. If life wanted to take

    "Please be careful!" I called out and exited the car once I had parked in front of the hospital. The man helped me pull Moore out of the car and two other men with a stretcher raced toward us. They placed Moore on the stretcher and took him to the hospital, I raced after them and the man followed— Yelling orders and medical terms as he did so. I was shut out when Moore was moved into the Operation theatre immediately and the door closed on me. I breathed and slid down the white walls that felt like they were closing in on me. I could barely breathe with the weight of this incident pulling down on me. I swallowed sharply and curled into myself. I hated hospitals. Whenever I came here— I always lost someone or something. To be honest, Loss and I see if to be dancing in the same stream for too long now. I rested my head on the wall and tried to pull myself together and make sense of everything that was happening, to be honest — so much had happened in so little time and my mind had b

    “I don’t think this is a good idea,” the doctor spoke when I grabbed my things to leave. Ignore him and sighed.Whomever this person was — they hated me and they wanted to take advantage of the situation, “This isn’t a good idea,” He continued.“What’s that to you?” I spat and locked eyes with the man. “Do you prefer that I just let my husband die then? Should I leave him all alone to die because I refused to face my fears?” I snapped and sighed when he did not offer a response. “Yeah. I thought so too, Doc.” I declared and turned to leave when a nurse came to the cafeteria. “The blood has arrived, it’s a match and the transfusion has started.” She announced and the doctor spared me a glance before he followed the nurse out of the place. My shoulders trembled slightly and bit hard on my lip. I might have looked okay, but deep down I was falling apart. I had waited for this moment — to face A. To find out who the person behind that name was, yet, now that I was so close to finding

    "You've had a lot to say," I began and took a step toward her. "Oh I have even more—""And they are all lies. Treacherous ones." I added with a straight face. Alicia seemed taken aback by my response, her eyes narrowed at me. "Lies?" "Yes, lies." I acknowledged. "For the past fifteen minutes, all you have done is tell lies — you have accused me and insulted me like the little brat you are.""How dare you speak to me like that?!" Alicia lashed out and tried to slap me but I held her back. "You said you wanted to kill me, right? Go ahead, I am not scared of you, Alicia. You have done your worst already, or haven't you?" I tilted my head as I spoke and a spark lit in her eyes. Alicia shoved to the edge and the small wall on the roof was the only thing that stood between me and death in that moment. "I should kill you right now, for all the pain you caused—""Caused you?" I raised an eyebrow at her words and our eyes locked. My tone had a different edge to it and I tightened my fist

    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

    "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

    "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
