Violet’s POVWaking up knowing your best friend is dead feels like a whole part of you has been taken and you just feel numb and in denial.I've spent the last forty two hours convincing myself that a miracle would happen and Clara would come back to us, smiling and hugging me again.My entire world shattered the day Rachel put a bullet into Clara’s chest, hitting her far too close to her heart, no chance of survival, what the doctor said and it’s been replaying in my head for hours.The agony in my chest feels like a thousand knives, each one deeper and more excruciating than the last every breath I take is a cruel reminder that she no longer takes any at all and it was all my fault.Her absence is a gaping wound that nothing can heal. The memories, once a source of joy, now feel like a cruel joke played by time. I remember the warmth of her smile, the sparkle in her eyes, and the way her laughter could light up even the darkest of days especially when I’d come to her about Jason .
PROLOGUE"Violet, go and serve room 509 the refreshment they ordered!" A male voice barked out an order in anger." Yes, Manager Poo- Porter!" A young vibrant girl said, rolling her eyes unknown to the chubby man who just ordered her.The girl's eyes traced the chubby manager until he left, then she sighed heavily. She hated going to those rooms especially at this hour of the night. But she has no choice, she needed to make money. " Val, you just have to do it for this month so you can pay for your final year tuition fee. Don't you want to be the paediatrician you always wanted?" " Of course I need to take care of those cuties!"Violet's emerald eyes rolled again as she sighed once more before turning to look at the person who just spoke." I understand I need the money, Joe. What I don't understand is you coming here to work too," she asked, looking at the young man.Joe was her best friend she met while studying. They had been together and he knows how she was struggling to meet u
Violet PovI needed to rest! Can't they just understand that doctors are humans too? We don't have super powers! Shutting my eyes, I ran my hand through my golden wavy hair which I had to tie in a ponytail before putting on my surgical cap. I had discarded my operation gown and cap so I could take a quick nap before going to the canteen to grab a bite.I didn't sleep well last night either… quite unfortunate, right? But that was me, Doctor Violet Myers! I brought out my purse to check the money left in it. Sighing, I took a peep at the wallet and I knew I was done for. I was definitely going to starve after today.That was the last money left with me and I was thinking if I should ask for an advance so I won't go broke all through the month? Would my boss be so gracious? "So much for this month! I wonder if Charles had found a job already," I murmured to myself, thinking about my lazy ass brother. As I was thinking of what to do, someone barged into my office, looking anxious. Look
Sighing for the upteenth time, I followed the nurse to the ICU and true to her words, the little boy was throwing tantrums as he yelled for his mother. That was not good, it might lead to complications if he kept screaming.I pushed open the door of the ward and saw the father trying to pacify the child. All the coldness and icy aura had all melted in the presence of his son. All that was on his face was helplessness.I watched as his eyes only radiated love around the chubby angel. Just as I was thinking of what to do, the little boy raised his eyes and his emerald green orbs stared deep at me. He squinted his eyes at me and his lips were pouted in an adorable pout. He blinked his eyes and the next thing everyone heard in the ward, including me, was his tiny voice, filled with happiness."Momma!"His gaze never left mine. Was he calling me his mother? What the hell!This was such a weird situation, damnit! His eyes were boring through mine and those lips were wrapped up in a pout.
Jason PovI was grateful to her, seriously but I hated nosy people. Why can't she just mind her business? I was the one in pain not her and I don't need anyone's pity!I was happy when she told me Vince was out of danger. I so much wanted to see him. I walked to the ICU and saw my son lying down with a bandage on his head. He only have injury on his head.A cut, deep enough to touch his brain. So the doctor said and the chances were low but he made it out alive.What I didn't expect was that he was going to wake up and claim another woman as his mother! Why her? He had never seen her before. Vince had never called anyone his mother right from the moment he was born.He had never asked nor call anyone by that title… not even Rachel, my ex-fiance. If he should call anyone that, it should be Rachel! That's one of the reasons I was adamant that he should be discharged immediately! I quickly called Doctor Bennett over to check on him. If he could be discharged and he told me the exact thin
Violet POVAfter my rounds, I finally had a peaceful time for myself, falling asleep in my office again. I simply can't place it but my dreams were filled with the little chubby dumpling.I woke up with a start when I saw him in my dreams tugging the hem of my skirt and screaming ‘Mommy!’ with the entirety of his vocals."Ayyy! Why would I dream of a stranger?" I asked no one in particular. I checked the time immediately after I woke up and saw that it was early hours of the morning. I just slept in my office again. I just hope my boss doesn't realize I have been sleeping here even during my off days.Fuck that old man! I cursed. I brought my phone out hoping it would provide just the distraction that I needed. But that old man won't let me be! The first thing I saw when I unlocked my damn phone was a text from my agent telling me that my rent was overdue and that he was going to lock me out.I sighed, deeply. Might as well get comfortable in my office, I thought bitterly. There wa
"Watch your tongue. Aren't you the doctor or are you a quack?" He retorted, glaring at me."What! A quack? I saved his life, mister, if you had forgotten!" I wanted to scream at him but I managed to control myself.Instead, I gave him a glare that seem to tell him what I was thinking! He had a look that matched mine perfectly as he shrugged with his reply. “I have no idea. You tell me. You're the doctor after all.”“He threw a tantrum all night and a half through this morning asking for his mom. Which I suspected was you.”I palmed my temple down to my face before sighing. “How is this possible?”He shrugged again. He looked like he would rather be anywhere else but with me at that moment.Hey! The feeling is mutual! After another ten minutes, I saw Vince coming back with Nurse Abby and he ran straight to me."Mummy, let's go home. I want to show you my latest invention…"" Vince!" Mr. Grumpy Pants called out angrily but when he saw his son about to tear up, he controlled his emotio
Jason PovIt's been two days and I haven't gotten any news of that damn doctor! I have been searching for her for two days because of Vince who woke up not long after she left. He had started his tantrums as soon as he noticed her absence the next day. After throwing tantrums, he became weak and resorted to depression.I was getting frustrated seeing him in such a depressed state, crying his lungs out.I need to find a solution to it once and for all. But what should I do? The answer lies in just one person.Doctor Violet Myers. I just can't let him continue to suffer yet I just can't accept a stranger to be the mother to my son. What if she plotted it?But then I remembered how she ran off as soon as she saw the portrait of my grandfather. Did she have a grudge against him? I was so frustrated that I was unable to do anything at the office. All I wanted was to turn back the hands of time if possible.There was a knock on my office door and it was pushed open by Jack Graves. He was
