Jessica kept glancing at the door, hoping it would open at some point, and Justin would walk through it. There was absolute silence around her, except for the constant ticking of the clock. Jessica waited and waited and waited, but there was no Justin.

"He is probably just running a little late; he will be back eventually," Jessica consoled herself. She heaved a sigh and placed her head on the table. She was exhausted from everything that had happened that day. Slowly, she drifted to sleep.

"No!! No!!" Jessica screamed as she jerked up from her sleep, looking around frantically and standing from her chair. The force with which she stood up caused the chair to fall backward. She had just had a nightmare.

In it, Justin's car collided with an incoming trailer and got crushed in the process. Both Justin and Kelvin had died. Jessica wiped the sweat that trickled down her forehead as she picked up her phone from the table. Even though she had obtained Justin's direct phone number a week ago

    Jessica was surprised; she hadn't expected to hear those words escape from Justin's lips. All of a sudden, she felt like she had been hit with a thousand bricks. All the things she had said, how much of it had he heard?Jessica swallowed hard as Justin drew her to his side and repeated his words. "Please stay with me," he said as his eyes roamed over her, his stare carving a hot path down the front of her chest.She simply nodded her head and sat down beside him. Justin lifted himself up from the bed and leaned his back on the headboard, pulling Jessica even closer to him.Jessica gulped and shut her eyes momentarily; she dreaded the question she was about to ask but knew she had to ask it. She needed to know just how much of what she said he had heard."How long have you been awake?" Jessica said casually, putting on a fake smile even though she was so tense inside.Justin knew; he knew just why she had asked the question, and he knew what reply to give. "I am just waking up now. I t

    Oh! That was it! Justin fell onto the bed and placed his hand over his head. He had really messed up big time; he knew he had. Right then, the memory of all the things he had said came flooding back to his brain.He remembered how he had told her she meant nothing to him, she was just another girl, a girl available when he needed to satisfy his sexual desires. That must have hurt.He looked up at Jessica, who spared him no glance. "I am so sorry, Jess. To be very honest, I didn't mean any of the things I had said. I made everything all up; I wanted to say the most hurtful things to you. I wanted to hurt you just as much as you hurt me. Please, you have to believe me." He rose up from the bed and pulled Jessica in for a hug."I am so, so sorry. I am really sorry," he repeated. Jessica did not resist. She just pondered on whether to believe him or not. Was he saying the things he said now because he wanted to get some, or was he really being sincere?Jessica eventually decided to go wit

    Jessica smiled at him as he carried her to the bed. He laid her down and gazed into her sparkling brown eyes. With one hand, he brushed her hair backward, carefully taking in her beauty. He parted his lips and said, "I am so sorry I didn't introduce Silver to you. I really wanted to." He planted a kiss on her lips. Jessica's eyes fluttered shut; when she opened them again, all Justin saw was desire.It was crystal clear. She wanted him, maybe just as much as he wanted her. He planted another kiss on her neck, "I am so sorry for everything that happened today." Jessica nodded her head; she had heard enough of the pleas. All she wanted right now was for him to spring into action.Justin kissed her sensually on the lips, "I am sorry…" But before he could finish talking, Jessica's mouth possessed his, drowning any remaining words he had left. All she wanted was to have a good time with her man. Justin, with his mouth and tongue, pleasured Jessica, giving her an experience that was bound to

    Jessica held his gaze for a few more seconds, lost in his eyes. She raised her hand to his brows and traced them. A tentative smile appeared on Justin's lips as the corners of his mouth curled up in a wicked grin."You are simply the best," Jessica said, her voice laced with sincerity. Justin tilted his head to the side, pulled her close, and gave her a kiss on the lips before whispering, "I know I am." Jessica was breathless. She wanted more. Her heart was throbbing faster than it should.She wanted him to take her then and there. If they were alone, that would have happened, but Kelvin was there. As if they had the same thoughts running through their minds, Justin and Jessica glanced at Kelvin through the rearview mirror at the same time.Kelvin, who had been looking at them, was caught off guard. Justin arched an eyebrow as if asking him what exactly he thought he was doing sneaking peeks at them.He immediately coughed anxiously, "I... I didn't see anything, sir, I swear," he stut

    Jessica was surprised. What was he saying? She was still going, but not with an airplane? Those words confused her even more. Justin glanced at Kelvin and instructed, "Take us to the hangar.""Okay, sir." Kelvin immediately drove off. Using another route, he arrived at the airport hangar. Jessica's eyes grew wide as a private jet came into view.Justin on the other hand couldn't take his eyes off her. He had been waiting to get that reaction from her, seeing her as surprised as can be made him chuckle softly. As long as she was his woman, even as a pretend wife, she would always get the best of all the good things in life."Well, there you go," he said, tearing Jessica's gaze away from the private jet and onto him."You mean I get to travel in that?" she quizzed."Yes, you do. Now get out of the car; the earlier you take off, the better." Justin got out of his side of the car and breathed in the cool, fresh air, allowing it to envelop his body.Jessica, on the other hand, was waiting

    Jessica walked into the hospital. The smell of antiseptic hung heavily in the air. She went to the reception and met several nurses there. It was a very big hospital with different departments."Good afternoon, ma'am, how may I help you?" the nurse she approached asked."I am here to see Dr. Richard Anderson, the orthopedic hand surgeon," Jessica replied. As soon as the words left her mouth, the nurse's eyes lit up, "Are you Dr. Jessica?" she inquired excitedly.Jessica was a bit thrown aback; it had been quite a while since someone addressed her as Dr. Jessica. Just the mere thought of how long it had been made her eyes misty."I am Dr. Jessica," she repeated the words in a bid to hear them one more time, wanting to know how it would feel coming out of her own mouth. It felt great, just as she had imagined it would.The nurse was busy dialing a number. She was calling the doctor to inform him that Jessica had arrived. After a few seconds of conversation, she put down the receiver and

    Jessica's eyes were fixated on the doctor as she waited to hear what the bad news was. Her heart was beating faster than normal. Was her hand really irreparable? Would she never be able to hold a scalpel with her hand again? Was she truly done as a surgeon? A million thoughts swirled through Jessica's mind.Dr. Richard, perceiving her anxiety, studied her carefully before a smile spread across his face."What is the bad news, doctor?" Jessica questioned. She didn't understand why he was smiling when what was at hand wasn't something to smile about. What she didn't know was that Dr. Richard only smiled to ease her tension."Well, Dr. Jessica, being a doctor, I am sure you are well aware of how dangerous having damaged tendons and nerves can be, especially in a sensitive place like the fingers," Dr. Richard explained calmly. Jessica already knew where the conversation was headed.She already knew Dr. Richard was about to tell her that her tendons and nerves were damaged. What she didn't

    Jessica could not fathom the reason behind Justin asking her to start immediately; she was confused. She waited patiently for him to explain himself.Justin, who was already mapping out how everything was going to pan out in his head, smiled and leaned backward in his chair, swinging it sideways."You heard right, my dear. Tomorrow," he said with a cool, low tone. Justin was greeted with silence from the other end of the call as Jessica pondered in confusion why he wanted her to start so soon. She wondered if he was really trying to get rid of her.Justin, sensing that something was wrong, sat up in his chair and asked, "Is everything alright? Don't you want to start tomorrow? You just said now that Dr. Richard mentioned it would be best to start as soon as possible. I actually thought you would be happy to start tomorrow. What is wrong, Jess?" he sighed.Jessica looked around the hallway where she made the call from, she went close to a wall and leaned against it, while thinking of t

    Deep in thought, Justin drove to Jessica's mother's apartment. It had been two weeks since his discharge from the hospital.Two days after leaving the hospital, under persistent pressure from his grandmother and stepmother concerning Nicholas, Justin reached a decision. He chose to implore Jessica to perform the surgery on Nicholas, solely to prevent him from dyinf.This decision didn't signify forgiveness. In fact, he adamantly declined to visit Nicholas in the hospital. Fearful of what he might do to him as he remained vengeful and resentful, harboring deep anger for all he had endured at Nicholas' hands.The problem, however, was that Jessica had refused to treat Nicholas.

Determined to make it work, he ensured everything he said seemed to come directly from his heart. Although he had mentally rehearsed this moment repeatedly, he didn't anticipate the scene playing out so soon.When he asked his father to help him plead with Jessica the previous day, he hadn't expected his wish to be granted. However, knowing he would see Jessica one day, he prepared ahead of time. Now, she stood before him. This was his opportunity, and he promised himself to make the most of it.Rising from the bed, his gaze fixed on Jessica, Nicholas's hand was cuffed to the bed, limiting his movement.

    Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward. He had informed the hospital earlier that day to update him once his son woke up. The hospital was heavily guarded, as two sons of the most powerful and influential man in London, whose lives were still in imminent danger, were in different wards.For all Mr. Hemsworth knew, the culprit who had shot his second son was still at large. Until apprehended, Nicholas and even Justin were not safe. Who knows, the person trying to kill Nicholas might be attempting to cover up a dark past. Justin had mentioned that Nicholas was working with a cult. Could it be they wanted to silence Nicholas for good to prevent him from confessing to his crimes and thereby mention their involvement in money laundering and the attempt on Justin's life?Whatever it was, he would hear it now that his son was awake.As soon as they entered Nicholas' ward, Mr. Hemsworth motioned for the gua

    The doctor suddenly remembered he had given the nurse a task earlier and asked her to inform him as soon as it was completed. That had to be what she had come to tell him about.He corked a brow up and asked curiously, "Are the test results out?" Laura nodded in response to his question. She wore a grave expression on her face, which was really unsettling to Mr. Hemsworth, who was clueless about what was going on."What test results? Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?" he snapped in frustration.The doctor immediately felt the need to explain before things escalated any further. "I am sorry, Mr. Hemsworth, for keeping you in the dark. The thing is, in this hospital, it is standard procedure to conduct a full check-up on our patients to ensure they are medically fit," he exchanged glances with the nurse and continued, "we ran some tests on Nicholas, and it appears the results are out," he concluded.Mr. Hemsworth was a little tense. The girl's reaction hinted t

    Mr. Hemsworth stormed into the hospital an hour later with his bodyguards, looking as ferocious and angry as ever. No one dared to stop him; just the sight of him alone was very intimidating. The security stationed at the entrance had to make way for him after seeing how he had been greeted by the policemen. They already knew who he was; if the police, sent to protect the hospital, had allowed him to gain entrance at this crucial time when security was heightened, then they felt they had no choice but to do the same.Nicholas had been brought to the hospital in his disguised state, so the security men had no clue who the person being protected in the ward was. The hospital kept his identity a secret, and only people who had the right to know due to a role they had to play were informed. Seeing Mr. Hemsworth storm in, the security men gave each other a knowing look; whoever was being protected must be related to him in some way.Once inside, Mr. Hemsworth stood still as his ferociou

    The man who had accidentally knocked Nicholas down immediately alighted from his car. Upon reaching where Nicholas lay in a pool of his blood, being washed away by the soft patter of rain falling, he gasped in shock but immediately recollected himself. "Is he dead?" he thought in fright as he fell to his knees beside Nicholas."Hello? Hello?" he said as he shoved Nicholas lightly.No response!"Oh my God! What have I done?" the man cried in fear. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest. With trembling hands, he brought out his phone and dialed 999, London's emergency contact."I knocked down a man; he needs help!" he cried as soon as the call connected, staring down nervously at Nicholas.The road was a lonely one. He contemplated carrying Nicholas into his car and taking him to a nearby hospital. He glanced at Nicholas' unconscious body again, and a thought crossed his mind, one that chilled him to the bone, causing his jaw to drop as his eyes widened."What if he is dead?

    As soon as Jessica turned, a slight frown etched her face. Standing behind her was Dr. Martins, the same man she had heard from Nicholas, accused her of having a hand in the attack on her husband.When Dr. Martins found out few days ago, just like everyone else, that Jessica was Dr. Alexandra, he was absolutely gobsmacked. He wondered how that could be and thought back to the day Jessica was acting a little nonchalant in his office, realizing it was because she already had a solution to her husband's predicament.He had been scared to approach her due to the way he had treated her in the past—all the snide and sarcastic remarks he made in her presence hadn't gone unnoticed. From the beginning, he had made it clear he really didn't like her, but Jessica always responded to his ill treatment with kindness. To him, she was just acting, being the badass actress she was, which even infuriated him more.Pondering on the next steps to take, he had summoned the courage to meet Dr. Alexandra,

    Sonia was petrified, visibly shaken. Just who is this man, she wondered? The seconds it took for the man to respond felt like a million years to her. Her heart kept thumping against her ribcage."Who am I?" the man asked mockingly as he snorted a laugh. Sonia's eyes widened.Hearing the man speak again intensified her fear. She knew she had heard that voice before, but to whom did it belong?She cried pleadingly, "Please don't hurt me. Whoever you are, please don't harm me.""Hahaha, you should have thought of that when you decided not to keep to your own end of the bargain. Now move, slowly," he snapped angrily, pointing the gun more aggressively towards her as he motioned for her to go in the direction he wanted.That was when it hit her!"Is it you? What are you...wait, how did you know where I live?" she asked, trying to mask her fear."How the tables have turned. It wasn't difficult to find you at all.
