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

    Jessica wondered what exactly was going on. Were her eyes deceiving her? Why was she seeing a credit alert notification of 5 million dollars being wired to her bank account?It took her a while to remember where it must have come from. When she did, she sighed and sank into the bed. It was a month already, and as per the agreed-upon contract, she was to be receiving the sum of 5 million dollars monthly.After the contract had been drafted, Jessica had completely forgotten about the money she was supposed to receive. Seeing an alert now made her feel a little bit guilty. She didn't want the money.She had come to love Justin deeply and hoped that he loved her too. To Jessica, even though Justin might not love her the way she loved him, she still didn't want his money. He had already done more than enough for her, shown her so much care, and helped settle all her bills; he had even made her mother fall in love with him.Jessica chuckled at the thought. She remembered how, whenever she c

    Jessica waited anxiously to hear what Justin would say. She was thrilled by the good news – the fact that Dr. Richard had agreed to nurse her hand back to health was indeed uplifting. However, what she didn't like was the fact that he had conditions.What if the conditions involved her staying back in the USA during the period of her treatment? Jessica's heart raced against her ribcage at the thought."He declined the offer to work exclusively in the USA for three months. He gave valid reasons, though," Justin stated as Jessica waited patiently to hear what his reasons were. Justin rose from the bed and walked stealthily to the wall in long strides. He pressed a control switch, which automatically rolled up all the curtains in the room, causing early morning sun rays to illuminate the room. He walked back to the bed and continued, "He said he has already been booked for several hand surgeries on different days of the months. But after some deliberations, he decided to assign some of

    Justin abruptly got up from his swing chair and banged his hand on the table."What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" Justin's cold voice rang out, reverberating across the room. Kelvin, who was both scared for Nicholas and his boss, took a few steps back. It would be unwise of him to interfere at this stage as things had completely gotten out of hand.Nicholas stood where he was, as if he had been glued to the spot. It was obvious he was a bit scared, but he had come too far not to see his mission through. Holding the document in his hand up and pointing it directly towards Justin with slightly shaky hands, he said with a hard voice, "Why did you turn down my proposal for funds to be disbursed to my department?" For some reason, Nicholas' voice carried a certain aura of power that pissed Justin off.Justin's face immediately turned cold as if covered in frost. Kelvin stared at him in fright, he could swear he had never seen his boss this angry. Glancing at Nicholas, he noticed his

    Nicholas glanced at Kelvin. Did he just hear him correctly? Did he just ask him to leave the office when his brother was in critical condition?"I see you've got some nerve! How can you ask me to leave when my brother is lying down helpless like this?" he snapped through gritted teeth.Nicholas' gaze averted to Justin for a moment before refocusing on Kelvin, "I know you don't want to draw attention and make everyone know my brother is sick, but if you have a solution, let me in on it and tell me what I can do to help, fast!" His tone was very sharp and serious.Kelvin was anxious; he needed to administer Justin's medication before it was too late. He didn't want Nicholas to know about the drugs, so he persisted a little bit more. In a shrill voice, he cried, "Please, Mr. Nicholas, you need to leave now. If you want your brother alive, you have to trust me on this, please."Nicholas stared at him in confusion. Was he threatening him? Did he have something up his sleeves that would mak

    Immediately after Nicholas left Justin's office, he rushed through the secretary's office and headed straight for his own office. Justin's secretary glanced at him, noticing his uneasiness as he passed. She became perturbed, wondering if something was the matter. Why was Mr. Nicholas looking anxious just now? She rose from her seat, intending to head towards her boss's office but thought against it.Mr. Justin had made it clear several times that he was not to be disturbed by her unless there was an urgent matter related to the company. She also remembered that Justin was in the office with his personal assistant, so if there was something wrong, Mr. Kelvin would have come out to raise an alarm.Not satisfied, the secretary approached Justin's office and placed her ear close to the door. She could hear nothing. She sighed, remembering that Justin's office, like many others in the company, was soundproof. If anything were happening inside, she wouldn't be able to hear it.With head bow

    Nicholas, now seated behind his desk in his office, pondered over the events that had occurred earlier. He felt anxious, wondering about the fate of his brother and the company.What if his brother died, and he was blamed for engaging in an altercation that caused him to pass out? No, no one would do that. The CCTV footage would exonerate him. Despite triggering his brother, he hadn't laid a finger on him. In fact, Justin had been the one who punched him in the face in anger before the episode.Yes, that was right. No one would blame him, Nicholas thought. But that didn't mean he wouldn't be questioned. Justin was his brother, after all. If he were to die, there would be serious consequences for him as well. He would be questioned on why he had left his brother to his PA without taking any action to try and save his life.Why hadn't he called an ambulance? What was his motive for confronting Justin in the first place? Had he known that Justin would collapse? Was that why he triggered

    A month later, at the Hemsworth family mansion, everyone is seated at the round dining table, having a family dinner. Nicholas's health was totally restored. He had also helped the police in apprehending Kennedy and his men, who were already behind bars. Sonia had also been prosecuted, and her license was revoked due to her crimes.Nicholas's last request before being prosecuted for his own crimes was to have dinner with everyone in the family, a request they all had granted. Everyone tried to put on a smiling face, even though their hearts ached on the inside.The energy in the room was really low. Nicholas, noticing this, raised a glass and clanked it with a spoon to get everyone's attention as he cleared his throat. All sets of eyes were averted towards him as everyone eagerly waited to hear what he would say.Nicholas smiled brightly as his eyes swept across the faces at the dining table, acknowledging each of them in an endearing manner.

    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. In fact, they had engaged in an argument that led to her moving out of his apartment. All attempts to persuade her to reconsider proved fruitless. Since then, he had been trying to reach Jessica through her mother, with whom she had sought refuge.Surprisingly, when he called her mother that morning to inquire a

    Having recovered from the shock of Jessica's stern attitude, Nicholas looked at her with pleading eyes. 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. Despite the constraint, he had enough room to do what he wanted. Jessica's eyes narrowed with hatred as she witnessed his eyes clouding with tears.Scoffing, she remarked, "I am listening. Say what you want to say; I need to be on my way soon." She eagerly waited for him to beg her

    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.
