The door unlocked and she looked down and pulled the keys out before pushing the door open. As soon as she pushed the door open a large fist collided with her angelic face and she stumbled back and hit her face to the door frame due to the sudden impact.
Heavy liquid seeped down from her inner cheek and drew a metallic taste in her mouth. She coughed out harshly, drawing blood out of her mouth.
She whimpered in pain and looked up to see the man she despised standing in front of her, his jaw clenched and palms fisted.
Something ran down her nose and she was sure it was the same liquid she just coughed out. She inched he

She took the brush and concealer and tried to hide her bruises. Pumping the concealer on the brush, she brought it closer to her face. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was tired of covering up the bruises on her body and face. She breathed out audibly and dropped the brush back on the dressing table. She was done with covering up. How much will she? After all, there comes a time when it all seems useless and that’s what she felt. It was useless.She walked to her bed and collected all of the things that lay scattered on the bed and put them in her bag. She pulled the zipper close and wore her backpack. She bent down and slid into her worn-out Grey sneakers and laced them up.She looked at her face, which was swollen at one side and a purplish-black bruise adorned the valley between her cheek and forehead. She walked out of her room not bothering about her face because they would only remind her of the pain she was trying to ignore.“Ayra, I’ve made your favorite, bac

“Apply this, it will reduce the pain,” Dimitri said as he handed her an ointment for her lip. She accepted it from him and looked at the box of the ointment and looked up at Dimitri.He looked right into her eyes. She was just blank. She looked at him emotionless. Her eyes looked sad and almost dead.“Is it still hurting?” He asked leaning down.“No. Thanks... for all of this,” she said meekly and got up from his soft leather office chair. Her arms slightly brushedwith Dimitri’s thigh, making him close his eyes and breatheheavily.He made Ayra sit on his chair while he partially sat on the table to clean her untreated wounds. He was a little surprised that she herself didn’t treat her wounds but he did it nonetheless.“You can take the rest of the day off,” He said a little loudly and hurriedly. She stopped Turing the knob and thought for a second or two.

“Dr. Rivera,” a paramedic called as she was walking by the reception.She halted and turned to her right. She looked at them bringing in a patient on the stretcher.“Knee aneurysm, emergency.” The paramedics said hurriedly.(Aneurysm: A ballooning and weakened area in an artery.Aneurysms often occur in the aorta, brain, back of the knee, intestine, or spleen. A ruptured aneurysm can result in internal bleeding and stroke. It can sometimes be fatal.)“Okay. Okay, I’ll go with the patient and Janice, inform Dr. Vittori asap.” She said to the nurse who was standing by the side as they took the patient to the intensive care unit.She looked at the nurse through her peripheral vision to see her still rooted to her spot.“Janice, Dr. Vittori, now!” Ayra yelled and the nurse ran to inform Dimitri.“What’s the da

“Do you really not like chocolates?” She asked him in disbelief.“Nope,” He said and shook his head.“Who doesn’t like chocolates, everyone loves…” but she was cut midway when her phone started buzzing. She picked it up instantly after flashing a glance at the caller ID.“Dr. Rivera, I need you to come to my office,” he said over the line.“Okay,” and she was about to open her mouth, but he hung up.“I’m sorry Jordan, we can continue this maybe after work?” She asked him sorrowfully.“Sure, duty calls,” He passes her a smile and she stood up and made her way to the elevator.She had come to realize a few things about Dimitri and one of them was, no matter how much you are tired, starving, or dying, patients are your priority. And she did like that about him. He was extremely dedicated and she admired that.

“Why?” She asked a bit too surprised. “Jordan and Dr. Vittori were in a surgery couple of hours ago. It was a liver transplant and it was all smooth till Jordan messed it up.” She slightly shook her head and continued, “Jordan cut an artery. The patient almost died. Excessive blood loss. Now the patient is in recovery.” She completed. “What?” Ayra asked shocked. “If it wasn’t for Dr. Vittori the patient would have died,” she said. “But still he can’t get fired. He was a resident!” She said and turned around and marched inside the hospital. “Ayra, where are you going?” Rhea yelled. “To the person who fired Jordan,” she said loud enough for her to hear. “Ayra listen….” She could never complete her sentence as Ayra marched inside before she could. She took the steps and not the elevator. She ran up the stairs, even skipping a few. Without thinking much, she pushed the door open and barged into his office. She h

A frown appeared on her forehead looking at the person in front of her.“So you have a tumor in your kidney?” She asked him confused and he bobbed his head up and down.“What makes you think that?” She questioned him again not quite understanding what was happening.“Symptoms,” He answered without hesitation.“And how do you know what are those Symptoms?”“I was feeling things or rather my body was feeling things so I googled it,” He said whilst clicking his tongue.“Your body was feeling things?” She asked again in shock and disbelief. He nodded again.“You know Google isn’t the best place when it comes to your health and symptoms, right?” She tried to knock some sense into his brain.“How can you say that? Google has answers for everything! It can never be wrong. It just can’t!” Her patient almost yelled at her, raising

She ran as fast as her legs could take. Her heart was hammering against her rib cage. As soon as she got in the subway, she breathed out a long and audible sigh of relief.she was terrified. She didn’t know what would have happened if Dimitri followed her. She was glad he didn’t. She was scared as shit, while he pulled her to a room and began shooting questions her way but her need to run was stronger. So, without bothering if she was disrespecting him or not, she ran from that place.She took a seat at the end of the row and pulled out her phone and plugged in the headphones. She opened the music application and played the song, that was on top of her list.Leaning her head back, she relaxed. She closed her eyes and didn’t let any bother her. Just her and the music.But all good things come to an end. As the train arrived at her station, she got out and slowly prolonging her steps, walked to her house or should she say, Harry’s ca

Was she sure about this? Hell no! But she didn’t want to stay here any longer. She took a deep breath and didn’t dare to look down. It was now or never! She fisted her hands tightly around the white sheet and turned around. “You can do it!” She assured herself. She slowly let one of her legs down and let it dangle in the air while mustering up all the courage, she did the same with the other. She bit down on her lower lip harshly, drawing out blood, to muffle her yelp. Slowly and steadily she moved down holding onto the sheet. What could possibly go wrong? She could slip and break her arms and legs or worse, hit her head possibly hemorrhage, and she can die. That’s it nothing more. But she was done living here. Her happiness increase ten folds when she saw how close she was to the ground. Tears of happiness spilled out of her eyes. When there was an arm’s distance between her feet and the ground, she jumped down. She looked up at the window one last time, reminiscing how man

Nightingale Epilogue
“You look absolutely stunning.” Sofia looked up at her soon-to-be daughter-in-law.“Thank you.” She blushed profusely.“Now, turn around, I’ll put the veil on,” Sofia said and Ayra just nodded as she turned around and bent down so Sofia could hook the veil in her hair.“Done.” She said and Ayra got up to her feet. She walked towards the mirror and looked at her reflection. The makeup artist had done a beautiful job. She had to admit that she looked pretty herself. Her mermaid-style dress hugged her body like a second skin. It was silk and had a deep neck with tiny pears that ran over all the ends of the dress and plain train. Her tiny bump was evident only if you look at her from the side. After all, it was just 14 weeks.“I’m glad my son found you,” Sofia said with a wide smile. Ayra turned towards her and breathed out in nervousness.“You’ll be fine,” Sofia

“Ayra look at me!” He said impatiently, cupping her face. She stumbled back once more and he snaked one of his hands around her waist and the other remained on her face.“Open your eyes!” He panicked. She was shutting her eyes.“Please.” A tear rolled down his left eye.Dimitri was confused. He was panicking and for once the calculative Dimitri, didn’t know what to do. She was unable to maintain her footing.Her hands dropped and fear rushed his heart. He quickly bent down and carried her in his arms. She was fighting hard to keep her eyes open. Dimitri ran out to his car and settled her down on the passenger’s seat and buckled her belt.“Stay strong for me.” He whispered as closed the door and ran over to the other side. He got in himself and the engine of the car roared to life. He drove his car as fast as he could. With his free hand, he took her left hand and pecked it. He constantly k

“Ayra, listen to me, he manipulated you. Baby, I love you. I can never hurt you. Why would I?” Rose tried convincing Ayra.“Cut the shit, Rose. What do you take me for? A fool? Just because I acted like one doesn’t mean I am one.” Ayra said in a bored tone.“Where did you learn such heinous words?” Rose asked completely flabbergasted.“Again, I’m not a fool. I guess both of us live in the very same world. And just because you’ve never heard me curse doesn’t mean I have never heard those words.” She chuckled.Harry and Rose looked at each other before looking at Ayra.They didn’t know what had happened and in a matter of a few hours, the tables had turned. Both of them sat in the darkroom tied to a chair at Ayra’s gunpoint. They didn’t know how she had managed to pull something off like this. They were still trying to figure it out and worse yet, still tr

She knew she couldn’t keep the child. Tears gathered in her eyes. Dimitri would leave her and what about her child? No man would accept a child fathered by another man.She was regretting everything. She should have never gotten involved with Dimitri in the first place. It was her mistake. She placed her hand on her flat belly. But she couldn’t give up on her child.It was their baby. A symbol of their love.She tried but she couldn’t help herself from falling in love with Dimitri. She didn’t know when it happened but she did. She loved him. She tried really hard to remember. Remember when all of it started for her? Maybe the time he asked her to be his or when they first kissed? She didn’t know. Do you fall in love with someone announced? Guess not. She had an answer to it a long time ago but tried suppressing her growing feelings for him when she realized what they shared was wrong.She folded the paper and walked back to t

“I’ll be right out,” she said and Sheila just nodded in response.She looked for the time on her phone and it was 11:30 PM. She was caught in work and for once she was happy that the dead patient didn’t bother her.Picking up her stuff, she stuffed it all in her bag, not caring about how they were arranged. She walked out and scanned her ID.It was dark. It had been four days since Dimitri left for Canada and Ayra wasted no time and moved out the next day. She lived in a small apartment with was at wake able distance from the hospital.Exiting the hospital, she walked down the street. She was listing to music on her way back home. Yes, she was still afraid to sleep and live alone but this was much better than living with Dimitri.Her step came to a screeching halt when she noticed a figure standing right in front of her. Dread crawled up her spine and her body started shivering on its ownaccord.Her

She stood there. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and She constantly kept on wiping the sweat off of her forehead.She took a shaky step forward. Her hands moved forward to cut the vein but froze. A loud cry echoed through. She looked up to see the same man. The same man she killed.“Ayra,” someone shook her violently. She turned to her right to see a nurse standing next to her, surprised. Snapping out of her daze, she looked around. Everyone was giving her curious looks.“I’m sorry,” she said and handed the surgical scissors to the nurse and rushed out of the surgery room. She discard whatever she was wearing and ran straight to the locker room and slumped on the floor.Three weeks, but she was still not over the death of the patient from the accident.She pulled her knees closer to her chest as she buried her face in the valley between her legs and chest.She was sobbing.

“Ayra?” Rhea called her.“Hmm,” she hummed. Her mind was still disturbed by the fact that she was having a forbidden relationship with her boss.“We need to hurry, there has been an accident, a collision of two buses. Trauma is full, we have to attend to the patients from the accident. We have orders to get to the site.” Rhea spoke hurriedly, snapping Ayra out of her thoughts.“What?”“Yep, it happened twenty minutes ago, come on!” She said and Ayra ran behind her. When she got out, she realized it was pretty dark.She walked out of the ambulance to see still so many wounded to have been left unattended. She ran to the one nearest to her and looked at the physical injuries. She began what she had come for, treat the wounded.“Oh no!” She gasped as she noticed one of them struggling to breathe.She noticed blood oozing out of the person’s chest.

“Thank you so….” Ayra’s voice trailed off as Dimitri cupped her face and roughly shoved his tongue inside her mouth. His kiss was urgent and needy.He rolled his tongue around hers as both of them fought for dominance. He pulled her by her waist till her tender breasts were plastered against his chest. He loved the feeling of her soft blossom against his.He could feel her pebbled nipples through the thin fabric of her shirt. She looked absolutely desirable in the white shirt and wide-legged pants she wore tonight.Dimitri took Ayra out for dinner. When Antonio found out that Dimitri and Ayra had moved in together recently, he took Sofia on a tour of the west coast. His parents neither acknowledged nor spoke about Dimitri and Ayra’s relationship.“Fuck, baby!” He growled as he pulled away but instead caught her off guard as he threw her tiny body over his shoulder and spanked her, earning a yelp from her.
