Maya's povMaggie's texts flood my screen each one more frantic than the last. They are asking where I am but I don't bother to reply, my eyes remain fixated on Cassian's still form my hands trembling at my lap. Could I have done something wrong?Tears sting my eyes and I wipe the sweat on my hands over the fabric of my shirt. Leo has fallen asleep next to him and I feel the tears stroll down.This shouldn't have happened.I swipe them angrily, my hands shaking, I bite down on my lip trying to bite down on the sound trying to escape my lips. “One, two.”“One, two.”I feel myself relaxing but my breath is still uneven. I drag myself out of the basement checking on things on the other side. A shadow stands at the doorway and my breath catches. It's Holden. His eyes are distant as he looks at me, his stance making me fidget at where I stand.I inhale sharply walking up towards him. “What happened to him?” He asks, his lips pressed into a thin line.I look at the ground. “I'm not playin

Cassian's pov**Flashback**The sounds echo, each one of them louder than the last. My hands tremble as I stare at the door wondering what I should do.I should go help them, I'm a White and a member of B-T-13. We are not afraid of anything, we never back down from a fight.I throw the covers off my body peeking through the peephole. My vision on my left eye is blurring and the pain keeps intensifying each day but I can't say a thing.He will flog me when I do.I turn the door knob stepping into the hallway. It's bathed in darkness with the sounds of gunshots filling the air. The cold floor bites at my skin as I tip-toe to where the madness is.I look at Holden's door and it's screwed shut, my mother's cry rings out and she calls my father's name in an attempt to save her life. I stand by the stairwell and a man pulls at her hair as she kicks and screams. My heart twists as a woman's boots attach to her stomach. She looks up and the lamp's golden light bounces off her face reflecting

Maya's povI take in a deep breath pressing my lips to his forehead. His skin is warm under my touch a huge contrast to the dread settling inside. “I will come to check on you later,” I whisper, my voice barely audible over the beeping of monitors. My hands remain on his head for a minute too long before I force myself to walk away.My phone vibrates aggressively in my pocket and I take it out. Maggie. Again. I groan, swiping to answer preparing myself for the wrath of not answering earlier.“I can see you still know how to use a phone,” she spits her voice sharp.I remain quiet, my shoulders slumping. “Why are you not in the hospital like your fellow residents?” She asks, making my stomach twist.“I had an emergency,” I answered, biting at my nails. She breathes heavily.“You seem to be having a lot of those,” she says. “Come to the hospital, the Chief wants to talk to you.”The call disconnects before I can find out the reason. I head into my room putting on my scrubs and heading th

Maya's povThe house feels gloomy when I step inside — today more than usual. Holden stands near the pool, his phone pressed to his ear. The moment our eyes lock his expression shifts — concern, confusion.“What's going on?” He asks.I don't answer immediately, the box feeling like a coffin to my dead career. With a sharp thud, it drops to the floor. “You and your stupid brother,” I snapped.“You ruined my life,” I add my voice wavering at the end.“Maya, what's wrong?”I scoff pulling at my hair. “Stop pretending like you care about me. You have spent the last twenty-four hours being a pain in my ass.”“I was just angry,” he says, trying to defend himself.“And I was trying to explain to you, that your brother pulled me out of my life and made me his doctor knowing that I didn't have any experience in this kind of field.”“He is alright right now.”“But I'm not,” I cry. “I just got fired from the job that I have always wanted from the only place that I have ever wanted to be my wh

Cassian's povIt's been a few days since Maya returned, her mood has been getting sour and all she does is check up on me and lock herself in her room.The pain has subsided for the most part but my vision is still blurry. I force myself off the bed my body aching from days of remaining motionless, my feet find the floor the cold surface biting at my skin. I slid the slippers on hoping to stretch my legs and see how everything is going — myself, and not hear it from Leo's and Holden's mouths.The house is still, except for the occasional hum of the refrigerator. The guards move on and about, their movements swift and detached. Maya treks down the stairs absentmindedly twirling a piece of hair. “What are you doing out of bed?” She asks the minute our eyes meet.“Uh, stretching,” I mumble, scratching my head.She looks around, narrowing her eyes at me. “ I just removed a tumor out of your eye days ago,” she says, her voice low but harsh.I sigh. “I'm feeling much better.”“I don't care,

Maya's pov“How is everything there?” Dad asks, his voice hoarse.“It's great, I'm starting my research project.”I can feel him smile. “I'm so proud of you honey,” he says his voice warm but weary. Tears sting my eyes.“How about you?”He sighs. “You know the occasional land buyers pestering us to sell.”“Maybe you should,” I mumble biting down on my lip.I won't be here long and I don't have a job.His breath hitches, his voice sharp. “You know that land is sacred,” he says. “It has to remain in the family.”I swallow the lump in my throat. “Okay papa, I'm just worried about your health and all those people disturbing you.”“It's fine, I can handle it,” he says his voice strained.“Tell Mama I love her and I have to go.”“I love you,” he says. “I love you too.”I drop the phone on the bed with a bitter feeling in my chest. Cassian has to fix this as soon as possible. I can't continue lying to my parents and I need to find a way to take care of them since they won't take care of th

Maya's pov**Explicit content**I turn again on the bed, my mind drifting back to Cassian. Is he okay?Is his head hurting?Should have I allowed him to move back to his room so soon?I groan feeling like I should go check up to his room and see how he is doing, but if something happened to him he would call me, right?I grab my phone from the nightstand switching it on. The blue light makes me squint my eyes. Twelve-twenty-two. He's probably asleep.I huff placing it back. What if he collapses and can't find a way to contact me?My feet find the floor, the cold biting at my skin. The cold air brushes against my thighs as I take the robe from the edge of the bed slipping it on. The silk material flows around my body doing little to cover my exposed skin. I slip on my flip-flops trudging to the end of the room.My finger find the door knob turning it and step outside, the dimly lit hallway. Not a guard in sight. That's a first.A white light comes from the space between the floor and

Cassian's povI slip out of bed where Maya casually lies, her back out in the open. The need to trail my fingers on its claws but the banging on the door has intensified.I unlock the door stepping out. “What?” I ask, looking at Holden. “I've got something,” he says looking into the room. I pull the door closed.“Give me five minutes.”“It can't wait,” he says with apprehension in his eyes. I sigh, locking the door and following him. His room smells like fries and sharp cologne. He touches something on his computer and a house comes into view. Don Meyos.“What am I looking at?” I ask, narrowing my eyes at the computer. He reverses the video and the anticipation is killing me.“Since you told me to investigate Don Meyos daughter,” he starts. “It has been harder than I thought.”“Yeah so?”He rolls his eyes. “I infiltrated their home CCTV camera system and found out she is dead.”My eyebrows raise. “What?”He sighs. “The first couple of days have been hard to get in touch with her and t

Maya's pov“Amy hey,” I mumble, cupping her face.“Hmm. You can't tell anybody about that man,” I mumble making her brows perk together.“Why?” She asks confused.My throat tightens. I may hate Cassian but I don't want him getting in trouble with the law. “Because if you tell them about that man, the bad men will come and get him.”She pouts her eyes becoming glossier again. “Will they get us too?”I shake my head. “The police are here to keep us safe.”“But—”I cut her off. “Pinky promise?”She intertwines her pinky with mine and just in time a police car stops outside the shop. “Pinky promise.”Dr.Ben gets out rushing towards us. “Maya,” he says, looking me up and down.“What happened?” He asks and I look at my leg. “Uh, I was shot getting away,” I whisper.He lowers his eyes at me. “God, I'm so sorry.”A parademic gets in. He looks at Amy and she clings to my shirt. “I'm here,” I mumble when I see she is reluctant to leave.Ben gives me a curious glance. “Yeah, we hid until we sa

Cassian's povMy phone trembles in my hand as I dial Maya's line again, it goes directly to voicemail and I feel my whole body shake. This is stupid. My hands clutch the steering wheel tighter as I meander through the streets my mind going to the worst case scenariosWhat if they got to her?By the thought of that I increase the speed. Nothing can happen to her. I thought the best solution was keeping her away from me so she could be safe but here she is, far away and still in danger. I reach the Bay area grabbing my guns. A fire truck sits there and an injured patient and a firefighter lies there dead. I sigh in relief when I find she's not in there.Did she come in this?I walk ahead looking for any sign of her, the air too still for comfort. I call her line again and this time it rings but she doesn't answer.“Maya, where are you?” I whisper looking at the buildings. The smell of gunpowder clings to the air, the last rays of the sun peering on the ground.The necklace. Did she take

Maya's povI roll on the bed a heavy arm draped against my waist. I look at my bare skin and the man sleeping next to me.Holden.Last night's events flood back and I bite down on my lip.What have I done?I look at the clock — 6;19, it's almost time for work. I slowly slip out of the bed each squeak of the mattress sending a tremor down my body. My bare feet find ground and I take the robe by the chair tying it around my body as if it will hide the shame clawing its way up my spine.What was I thinking?I shouldn't have let this happen.All of this was behind me. I step into the shower the warm water cascading over me, trailing a familiar path down my body. How could I have been so careless?Ten minutes later, my hair was tied back, my scrubs on my body. My fingers tremble as I tap Holden awake scared of what I might find. His eyes flutter open, his whole demeanor screaming sleepy.“Ugh, it's morning,” he says, his voice soft and husky.I twitch at where I stand, the need to get a

Maya's povSusan glares at me as I crane my neck to look through the transparent glass just in time to see a car drive off. Was it Cassian or am I hallucinating?God, I miss him so much I'm seeing him at work. Like he would ever come here.“Dr. Sanchez,” a fellow calls placing a baby in my arms. “Clean her up and take her to the NICU.”I look at the baby safely wrapped around a baby shoal and I envy it. God, what I would give to have no problems or worries.Especially of someone you can never have, be with. I find the nurse working there giving her the baby. “You can go inform the mother.”I nod trekking to her room. She lies inside the room clutching her empty stomach. “Your baby is safe in the NICU and she will be delivered to you shortly.”Her lips tug up. “Are you feeling fine?” I ask and she nods.“Where's my boy?”“Its a she,” I correct.“No, the one with the man that brought us here. He is two years old.”I look around. “Let me go find him.”I halt. “What's his name?”“Joe.”I

Cassian's povI clutch my phone tightly, my heart feeling like it will rip out of its ribcage. Maya.She just called me after all I've put her through. My thumb lingers over the call button, my hand literally trembling.Doesn't she hate me?What does this even mean?I bite my lip, pressing it but my heart shatters when it says it's disconnected.What if it was a mistake?Maybe she didn't mean to.I drop it on my desk rubbing my face with my hands. I let out a shaky breath. This is torture. How did I ever think I could stay away from her?I pick my jacket and car keys. I'm going to find her. I get into my car, turning it on and driving out of the estate. I look at the time and it's a little bit after midnight.Where am I even going?I stop the car by the side of the road banging my fist on the steering wheel. What kind of person am I becoming?“Maya,” I whisper, the name feeling like a burden I can't carry. I sit up late trying to imagine my life before her and I can't even fathom thre

Maya's pov“You should come,” Benta whines as I close the locker, fixing my jacket.“Yeah, you came back and have been working nonstop, you need to have some fun,” Liv adds, swaying her hips.I chuckle pulling the bag to my shoulder. “Ugh, don't you even dare say no tomorrow we don't have work,” Benta interjects.I smile nodding. I need some fun. They all cheer. “We are going to the club,” Lisa hums.We leave for the bar, the clock at ten p.m sharp. My legs feel a bit sore but I think I can hold on for some hours. Find my footing around men without Cassian.The club is packed by the time we arrive and we weave to the open bar. “Tequila shots and keep them coming,” Benta says, tapping the counter playfully.The guy smiles, pouring us three glasses. I take mine downing it in a go. “You ain't playing,” Lisa says, shoving me slightly.I chuckle looking at the guy. He winks and my cheeks warm. “He is really hot,” she whispers. I pinch her thigh. “Not happening.”“I can ask for you when he

Cassian's povI remove the pods from my ears watching Holden's figure meander inside the house. He wears an ugly brown hood and washed-away jeans that make him look homeless.“Holden,” I call grabbing his attention. He looks up, dark circles covering his eyes.“Where have you been?” I ask my voice echoing around the house. He sighs touching his temples. “Why are you being so loud?”He brushes past me and I grab his arm. The stench of alcohol wraps around him and my stomach twists. “Seriously, where have you been?”He unclutches my fingers from his arm. “Just around.”I trail his face. “Are you okay?”Something etches in his face. “When did you start caring about my well-being”“When you decided to disappear for more than three weeks,” I counter.“It doesn't matter, I'm back.”Before I can ask him more questions he moves to the stairwell climbing up. I watched him until he disappeared through the hallway.I huff rubbing my hand over my forehead. What is going on with him?I look throu

Maya's povI scrub my hands smiling through the enclosed space. I never thought I'd be back here.“Mrs Sanchez,” Dr Ben calls, sliding to the tap next to me. I look at him briefly before focusing my attention on the operating room — it's beautiful.Tools are arranged properly in basins, minimal fluorescent lighting, and nurses surround the patient. It's like heaven on earth.“Mrs Sanchez,” he repeats his voice, breaking through my thoughts. “Uh, did you say something?”We walk inside the scrub nurses helping us with the surgical clothes. “I asked if you prepared for the surgery.”I nod standing across from him. “Then tell me what it's about.”“We are performing a coronary artery bypass grafting, to restore blood flow to the blocked artery with the vessel we take from the patients leg.”“Okay, so what is the first step?” He asks, his piercing blue eyes pinning me in place.I clear my throat. “You make an incision on the chest.”He glares at me. “The median sternotomy, then you split th

Maya's povDear Maya Isabelle Sanchez,I am glad to inform you that you have received a position back at Mercy Grace Hospital as a resident. After reviewing your case file and after much discussion with the board, we have concluded that your termination was unwarranted. You are a talented surgeon and one mistake should not shape your whole career. We would be honored to have you return and work for us so that we can nurture you into the fine surgeon you've always wanted to become.Chief Surgeon,Xavier McKinney.”I re-read the email again my hands trembling.“Am I dreaming?” I chuckle softly, overwhelmed in disbelief.Do they want me back?They want me back.I clutch my phone tightly and for a split second I almost run to show my parents but I remember they don't know the predicament that I was in.What I lost. What I gave up on.But that doesn't matter anymore I can be a surgeon again.Cassian.I shake my head.“No, he is yesterday's news.”This is a second chance to get what I want
