The next day, I didn't see Bradley anywhere.

'Strange' I thought but continued to get on with things and work as usual.

Using a thick powder coated with a lot of BB cream, the bruises on my cheeks almost disappeared, well, almost, but by the time I got to the hospital, news of my bravery had apparently spread and I could only smile when everyone asked me about it.

Because I was busy at the hospital, I didn't have time to think about the strangeness of having no news of someone.

But the next day I didn't hear or see him again.

Strange, it's been 2 days since I didn’t hear from him, is he okay? I thought in wonder and picked up my phone thinking is it necessary to contact him?

I quickly shook my head and put my phone back down.

Maybe he's busy, I thought and decided not to call him.

Then on the third day when I came to the hospital, everyone gathered because there were some new workers joining the hospital today, 5 nurses and 2 specialist doctors.

    Dwyne was taken to a room full of beautiful dresses but as she wandered around looking at them, her eyes locked onto one black dress that reminded her of something.Yes, she used to have a dressing room this big with expensive dresses and jewelry and other things that every girl wanted.However, she had left that life behind so being here brought back memories of it.Letting out a long sigh, she took her eyes off the fancy dresses and picked out just one simple black sleeveless, knee-length dress and paired it with a jeans jacket she found and boots she knew would make the servants who were told to make her look elegant and beautiful go wide-eyed with her choice of dress.But no one dared to make any bad comments and they just helped me put on the clothes of my choice before applying my makeup, which I requested to be light and not overdone.The sound of male laughter made everyone gasp in surprise before they left me alone.Knowing whose voice it was, I just stared at him through the

    Click...The next day when I locked the door to my apartment, I gasped in shock at the sight of a man waiting for me beside the door."Marco!!!" I exclaimed in surprise and gave a small smile while continuing to walk, the man returned my smile and walked beside me."Why don't you seem happy to see me?" He asked casually and I just rolled my eyes while pressing the elevator button without answering anything.The things that happened last night are still confusing me.After all the things Brad did and yet....No, I don't want to think about it anymore, I thought irritably as the elevator doors opened and I walked in followed by the handsome Italian man.Okay, what exactly is he doing here?"Marco... What are you doing here?" I asked suspiciously while glancing at him.The Italian-blooded man gave a big smile that made the 2 women who were also in the elevator audibly gasp, making me glance slightly at them who were apparently staring intently at the Italian man. Haha... Women, I though

    Today was very tiring, I got the task to accompany 2 major surgeries that I couldn't refuse. 12 hours later I sat in the doctor's room and put my head on the table. I realized that the day had changed and it seemed that I had been in the hospital for 2 days in a row.Growlll...." You're still here?" Asked Daniel who turned out to be in the duty doctor's room.I smiled and nodded my head before resting my head on the table to close my eyes a little "Yeah, the surgery was awesome" I replied quietly and made him snicker."Get some rest before you go home, it's dangerous if you have to drive in that condition" He said before placing a bottle of mineral water in front of me.I just waved my hand and sighed, he was right, I should rest first, but the thought of sleeping with my head on the table like this was very uncomfortable, so I quickly got up from my seat and went to change my work uniform and get ready to go home.Grabbing my bag and jacket, I made plans to go home and as I closed t

    As I sat in the VIP seats with the famous Chef Daniel Humm who would be serving us his delicious food at Eleven Madison Park, I knew that I was dreaming.Bradley, instead of sitting on the bench in front of me, moved the bench so that it was right next to me while giving a big smile towards me who could only sigh, too tired to argue with the man because I knew how stubborn he was and right now I was tired and wanted to enjoy a delicious meal that I could not possibly taste without the help of an important person like... well… this man beside me?Actually, who the h*ll is Bradley?This was the first time he took me out without any info, but somehow he never cared about what I was wearing.I know men usually don't care about that, but somehow he's different.The look he gives me, when I'm wearing any clothes doesn't change, like right now, even though I look a mess after a long shift at the hospital, he still looks at me as if I'm wearing a fancy dress that's so pretty that it makes me

    It was 10PM by the time we finished, thanking the chef in person and all the waiters who seemed very happy to hear me with a smile on their face, I walked back upstairs with Bradley who said nothing and just nodded his head before he left with me.I don't know if that nod meant anything, but one thing I learnt was that Bradley didn't seem to talk much to other people, unlike when he was with me.Hmm... Interesting, I thought and felt a slight excitement."Thanks" I said quietly while glancing at the man beside me as we stood side by side waiting for the elevator.Bradley raised an eyebrow as he flashed a mischievous smile "That's it?" He whispered softly and made me roll my eyes.I should have known, I thought after hearing his words.PING!!!As the elevator doors opened and I was about to step in, my eyes widened in shock with a tight gasp as my body was forcefully pushed in by the figure of the man I was with.Before he took me to the corner to devour my lips fiercely and hungrily l

    Ring.. Ring.. Ring…I groaned in annoyance as I heard the cell phone ringing and not stopping.There was only one person who would keep doing that and I knew she would never stop until I picked it up.Lifting my head to look at the clock on the wall, I groaned loudly again when I saw that it was 10am?! Seriously?!Picking up the cell phone that I remembered putting on the bedside table, I immediately answered it."Isn't it too early for Maya to call me? "I groaned and heard a loud laugh from her on the line, seriously!‘It seems that the rumors are true,’ she said and made me sigh as I got up and sat down while hugging the pillow to wake up."What rumor?" I moaned while yawning widely.‘There's a female doctor who's busy with the Mafia boss’ My eyebrows raised in confusion at my friend's words."Huh?" I responded and made her laugh even more.'Open the door, I'm in front' My eyes widened at that.Huh? This early?"Are you serious?" I asked in shock and hurriedly got up from my bed to

    When the drink is gone, I go to the bar to see Benjamin is there."Hi, beautiful, I see you're there, why don't you call one of the waiters?" He asked when he saw me coming towards him.I smiled widely "Bored just sitting there, how are you?" I said and made him laugh as he handed me a bottle of beer.He glanced behind me and saw that my friends were on the dance floor with their new partners and laughed, understanding why I was bored."Why don't you ever want to find a man anyway?" He asked as he prepared another drink before handing it to one of the waiters who quickly brought it over.When I just shrugged my shoulders, I noticed a man keep staring at me from the other side, he smiled when he noticed me see him too.Sh*t!!!Benjamin only raised an eyebrow as he approached me and sat beside me. He keeps smiling that boyish smile in my direction “I notice you alone” He offers me his hand for me to shake “I’m Paul” His voice that dark hint and I take a look at his hand for a while.Si

    “Vernon…?” I was relieved when I saw the figure of the man who walked up to me. But even though he was my best friend, I still hid my naked body from him. "What? What's going on? Why are you here? Where is this? And.. and.. why am I naked?" I bombarded him with successive questions that made him raise an eyebrow while looking at me as if to say 'did you forget?' Huh? What is going on? Wait… “Vernon… What is this place?” My eyes widened when I saw the man coming from the door. What the… What is he doing here?! Click…. “You shall go, Vernon. Thankyou” He said coldly and I tried to beg with my eyes toward my friend to not go and leave me alone with him, but he just shrugged his shoulders in defeat before cowardly left. “Coward!!!” I shout-out to my friend but he didn’t stop and just walked out of the room.

    The next day, Dwyne couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, a bemused smile tugging at her lips as she saw Marco and Gray standing in the lobby, a sleek black Mercedes waiting behind them. Both men stood confidently, arms crossed, clearly in no rush, as if they’d been waiting all morning.“Seriously? You two are my bodyguards now?” Dwyne exclaimed in disbelief, shaking her head as she walked toward the car. My God…She paused only for a second, glancing at the luxurious vehicle. It was the kind of car she never imagined herself stepping into, much less on a casual trip to the hospital.Marco and Gray exchanged amused looks, shrugging in unison. “You know how much you matter to him," Marco said with a grin, gesturing for her to get inside.Dwyne rolled her eyes at their response. “To him? Or to all of you?” she muttered as she slid into the car. It was a rhetorical question, but she couldn’t shake the feeling. The weight of it all. Us—they’d said. Them all. The realization was unsett

    Phillipe Quinn stood by his office window, swirling the glass of whiskey in his hand. The weight of seeing Ellaine after all these years hung heavily on him. He hadn’t expected it, certainly not in the chaotic setting of a public hospital. Ellaine… She looks well…The years of separation, filled with silence and unanswered questions, flooded his thoughts. He wasn’t sure what to make of it, but one thing was clear—Ellaine hadn’t been alone.The memory of the man who accompanied her flashed in his mind. Who is he?There was something about him, something dangerous, even more so than Benjamin Harrington. Ugh.. The thought made Phillipe clench his jaw. Benjamin had been a nightmare for their family, especially for Ellaine, and the idea of someone worse lurking around her filled him with dread.His thoughts were interrupted when Harry, his second brother and colleague, spoke up. “What’s going on, Phillipe? You’ve been staring at me for a full minute. You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

    My eyes widened when we arrived at The Astoria, a luxury apartment complex in Coral Gables, just a stone's throw away from Palm Beach. Is he serious?!The sleek glass facade gleamed under the afternoon sun, and palm trees lined the pristine entrance, making the place look more like a five-star resort than a residence. I couldn’t help but take in the grandeur as Gray stopped in the lobby. When I turned to Bradley, he was already staring at me, that guilt-ridden smile plastered on his face. He knew exactly what I was thinking."You put me in The Astoria?" I frowned, my voice filled with shock and a hint of disbelief. Of course, Bradley would go overboard after everything that had happened. I should’ve known this would be his way of keeping me safe.He raised his eyebrows, his playful grin barely masking the seriousness underneath. "It's the safest place," he replied. "Unless you want to stay in one of my mansions?" His eyes lit up in excitement, as though the idea of me moving into h

    As Benjamin Harrington walked back towards his Bentley, his eyes remained locked on Bradley, who stood beside Dwyne with a protective stance.The disbelief on Benjamin’s face was palpable as he tried to process the unexpected scenario unfolding before him.Bradley’s presence was commanding; his posture was assertive, a stark contrast to the apprehensive demeanor of Benjamin.Dwyne, clutching Bradley’s arm with a grip that spoke volumes of her reliance and trust, was visibly shaken.Benjamin couldn’t help but wonder about this man who had become so integral to Dwyne’s life. The juxtaposition of their reactions—Dwyne clinging to Bradley as if her life depended on it and Bradley’s unwavering vigilance—made Benjamin’s curiosity deepen.The tension in the air was thick. Dwyne’s heart raced with a frenetic rhythm, not from fear of Benjamin, but from concern for what Bradley might d

    As Dwyne and Bradley's car glided through the familiar streets of Palm Beach, a mix of nostalgia and melancholy washed over her.The palm trees lining the avenue swayed gently in the warm breeze, casting dappled shadows on the road. This was the place where she had spent her formative years, a place now filled with memories both bittersweet and poignant.Their first stop was the old Ballet building, a grand structure with arched windows and elegant columns. Dwyne’s gaze softened as she looked up at the building, the place where she had spent countless hours perfecting her craft.She remembered the thrill of her first recital, the hard-earned applause, and the grueling practice sessions.

    The next morning, the soft light of dawn crept through the curtains of their villa on the Amalfi Coast. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore created a serene backdrop as Bradley gently woke Dwyne with passionate kisses on her lips while stroking her naked body under the blanket. She stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet his warm gaze.“Good morning, Amore mio” Bradley said, his voice tinged with excitement and warmth. “I have something special planned for us today.”Dwyne stretched and smiled, her curiosity piqued. “What’s going on?”Bradley’s eyes sparkled with both pride and nervousness. “We’re going to have breakfast with my family”“What?” Dwyne’s heart raced with a mix of excitement and apprehension. “I..

You don’t need to worry about a thing—just enjoy the adventure.”Okay then, she thought with a shake head.Dwyne shook her head in disbelief but trusted Bradley’s confidence.
