The deluxe window curtain parted softly as Carlton moved closer to the French window in his room, revealing a breathtaking view of a meticulously landscaped garden and compound that illustrated glamor.

Everywhere around the huge mansion was extremely silent, and he could clearly hear the cascading waters of the fountain in sight, only to be distracted by the double door which parted open as his assistant, James, made his way inside.

"Good morning, Mr. Howard. I have been informed that a new doctor will be appointed for you today, sir," James informed Carlton from where he was standing.

"Okay," he replied concisely, and did not lift his gaze away from the same spot he had been staring at for minutes. There were so many thoughts that constantly plagued his mind, and it was hard to free himself from those worries.

"This time should be better. They said this doctor is so good, and excels at every given job. She is a new doctor in the hospital, and her personal details have been sent to

    "So, how was your new client? Does he look like a jerk already?" Nadia asked Stacy as they sat to eat dinner together with curiosity. Stacy came back to the hospital earlier than she predicted and had been busy since her arrival, which made it difficult for her and Nadia to hold a conversation till evening. "The client?" Stacy stared at her blankly, with so much indecisiveness about what to say to her, "Greater than I expected," she chuckled hard. Regardless of how happy she was that she had a friend to talk to in just a few weeks of arriving, there was no way she could tell Nadia that her new client was her ex-husband. It was nearly impossible to even explain or say. It was so hard. Stacy's plan to switch Carlton from being her client was thwarted when she returned to the hospital that day, due to the intentions of her superiors who had assigned her as his doctor.Julia did not pass on the proposal she submitted to the department head, who had the authority to approve her reques

    The overwhelming and shocking feeling of seeing Stacy suddenly introduce herself as his doctor, was too sudden for Carlton, and he could not wrap his head around the reality that hit him abruptly. His heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and he saw a mix of different emotions play across her face – shock, fear, uncertainty, and maybe pity. She looked just as beautiful and gracious as he remembered, and he hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to call her. But his longing and curiosity got the best of him, and he mustered the courage to call her name at the moment. Before he could utter the next word after she said all that she wanted, she turned and left the house immediately, leaving him dumbfounded and confused about what to do. For years he had wondered where she left to, and how she was doing after she was said to have been disowned by her father. His accident made things harder because all focus was on his recovery, and he blamed himself for everything that went wrong in both

    James came back home from the office at exactly the time that was stipulated for a break between the patient and doctor, and he was surprised to see Carlton still sitting responsibly in his chair, after his first session had ended quite early with Stacy because she came late. His mind also traveled back to the instructions which were given to him by Carlton the previous day, not to decrease the number of hours that were supposed to be allocated for his medical sessions as discussed initially. Glad that his boss might finally get a better life to rest and a chance to redeem himself, the good assistant hoped positively that Stacy's presence might be for a good course."Hi, James. Please is there anything we can do concerning the security here? Driving my car miles away is stressful already, but they make it harder at the gate by requesting times without numbers, my authenticity of being here," Stacy asked James politely as soon as she saw him enter. Coupled with the fact that she was al

    An elegant lady walked through the five-star restaurant which stood as a symbol of elegance and sophistication, and its exterior exuded an air of opulence that was well harmonized with splendid and beautiful ambient lighting which cast an illumination upon the exquisite artwork that adorned the walls.A gust of warm air brushed against her cheeks as she made her way towards the table that had been reserved for her, with her eyes scanning the room and searching for a familiar face. And just sitting across the most beautiful view of the restaurant was a young, handsome man whose well-sculpted face and beautiful eyes screamed perfection, with a broad smile spreading over his cheeks. "Oh my goodness, Liam. Is this really you?" Stacy exclaimed with so much delight in her voice, as she made her way towards the table with more quickened steps that were still elegant. Her gold dress, which was a masterpiece of design crafted from luxurious silk that shimmered at every step, accentuated her c

    "Mr. Howard cannot take sessions today," Stacy had the word slapped to her face so early in the morning that she had gotten herself so prepared for the day, and made sure to get to CARLHILLS residence as early as she could. 'You can do it, Stacy. You can!' she had told herself many times as she navigated nervously into the deluxe neighborhood. It was less than twenty-four hours after she had driven out there with so much frowning the previous day, and yet returning felt like she would have so many questions to answer about her behavior which was uncalled-for as a doctor. If Carlton decided to let go of everything they shared and submit just a report against her, then she was as good as gone from the hospital. Though she didn't plan to work at a highly recommended place like that, her good will had somehow found her a nice job with great pay at WILLAND hospital. Working in a place like that would make her CV even more presentable for better jobs that would send her better exposure. S

    "Why did you not tell me that you are coming to this hospital to work?! OMG!" Stacy slapped Liam playfully on his back, the moment she entered the hospital and found the person that she was looking for. She could barely hold her wits to herself after Nadia told her, and had called his phone many times to confirm it was his own Liam Wilson, but his phone was unreachable no matter how many times she tried to call him. Carlton didn't end up coming downstairs for his session even when she waited longer, and James told her that she could leave for the day because Carlton was still so busy with work. She drove straight to the hospital after she left CARLHILLS neighborhood, and arrived just in time to see the most surprising person coming out of the department head's office. "Are you that happy to see me?" His voice twinkled with excitement when he saw how bewildered she was when she saw him, "I didn't know news would spread this fast," he grinned."Hmph! You and your crazy surprises. Y

    The bright rays of the sun permeated through the drapes of the window in the living room, and assaulted Stacy's eyes, who was sleeping comfortably on the cold floor with a smile. Groaning at the sudden intrusion of light, she rolled non-stop as she turned her face to the other side of the room, while struggling with something silky-like in her mouth. "Shit! Shit! Oh my goodness!" She suddenly jumped up the moment her eyes simultaneously flashed open, and her eyes darted immediately to the huge golden clock that was centered in her living room. Reality hit her immediately that she had woken up late again, just twenty-eight minutes before her time for work. She turned to look around to observe the situation in the room, and was startled to see how messy everywhere was. There were empty bottles of wine lying carelessly on the table, leftover food and clothes littered everywhere like they were robbed overnight. That was when she remembered that she and Nadia had partied all night for he

    Stacy thought long about Liam's suggestion the entire weekend and as she drove to work on Monday, with so many thoughts in her mind that were supporting the reasons why she should agree to the suggestion instantly. She didn't know if Liam could truly get Carlton changed from being her home client, but she wasn't sure she would have a definite answer, even if he would do it for her. 'Was she really willing to change Carlton even if she hated that he was making her feel so guilty?' she thought endlessly. Ever since she left his house the previous week with the atmosphere around him heavy with distance, the weight of how awkward the situation ended, bore on her shoulders wearily, and left her drained with the disturbing speculations of how to handle things between her and Carlton. Though she knew it was weird to handle the fact that she and him were once married with levity, she at least wanted to make something work between them, even if it wasn't marriage. 'If she couldn't be enough

    It was a beautiful morning at a big, luxurious wedding hall, where every detail had been meticulously crafted to exude a sense of elegance and sophistication, and Carlton and Stacy stood at the altar holding their hands and gazing into each other’s eyes with a synchronizing smile curving their lips, as they prepared to take their wedding vows. Stacy donned a voluminous luxurious lacy white gown of exquisite and intricate adorning diamond that shimmered with fierce intensity of beauty, as she looked so radiant like a celestial being before the altar. Her veil softly framed her beautiful face like a halo, as she held a bouquet, her eyes illuminating so much affection for the man that was standing beside her. Carlton was daunting and dashingly ethereal in his custom-made black suit, his tousled, dark hair framing his breathtaking beauty and piercing beautiful eyes, which were a mesmerizing shade of deep blue that gazed into Stacy's eyes, with sheer happiness radiating within him.

    It was still the early hours of the morning, and the atmosphere was still quite dampened with barely any sign of sunlight, when Carlton entered the room to find Stacy still sleeping. He shook her shoulder tenderly and teased around her face, as she stirred for a few seconds without waking up. Then again, Carlton whispered something into her right ear as she remained in her deep slumber, which aroused a ticklish feeling in her as her hand tried to rub her ear. “Wake up,” Carlton whispered with a smile, and she finally turned in response to his barely audible voice, her eyes flickering awake, even if she was still slightly groggy. “What is going on, Carl?” she mumbled tiredly as a yawn escaped her lips, but a smile curved his lips instead as his hands grabbed her body and pulled her up from the bed, “What time is it?”“Shhhh. You will wake the kids up,” he cautioned, seeing that she was chuckling quite loudly, as she planted a kiss on her cheek and neck, “Put on something and follo

    Months flew by faster than expected, and Stacy had been living her best life with Carlton after Nadia moved to Phoenix with Liam. They kept in close contact through video calls and phone calls, telling one another about the new things they were now invested in and how the new city moved in. Nadia launched her new book after she moved to Phoenix, and better than she thought it would be, it was doing excellently well through the influence of her lovely lover, and social media, which gained her thousands of followers in less than six months. And with the brilliant response and love she received for her medical romance book, she started a sequel. She and Liam moved to the penthouse of a hundred-floor skyscraper in one of the wealthy neighborhoods in the city, which had the best view that she could ever wish for as a home. More than anything, Nadia's life had changed beautifully, more than she could have ever imagined, because of the people she got to meet in her life. Within those few

    “Arhhhhhhhhh. I am feeling the heat,” muttered Jasmine, who kept chuckling endlessly as she watched the two endearing couples. “This is making me hate that I am single,” Fiona rolled her eyes playfully and took a glance at Connor, whose attention had been on her for a few seconds, which caused both of them to look away instantly. “Please, do not gloat about your sweet love in our presence,” Jasper whined with a chortle, as everyone giggled wildly as they nudged one another. Natasha raised her glass in a toast amid the sweet public display of affection, “To friendship, and new beginnings!” She declared, her high-pitched voice reverberating everywhere in the garden. Everyone around them lifted their glasses, joining in the toast with cheers and clinking glasses, as they continued to engage in light conversations, while getting prepared for a new dimension of the party. As the evening progressed, the party moved to the center of the garden, where a large open space had been cleared

    It was the night of Stacy's baby shower and the party that Nadia had planned went better than anyone could have imagined, especially because of the additional guests that were invited, who were mostly Stacy's and Liam's colleagues from medical school. She invited Ryan too, but he was far out of the country and would not be able to make it. The garden in the mansion was transformed beautifully into a perfect banquet, and the soft hum of beautiful music played in the background, blending seamlessly with the laughter and chatter of the people present, as they ate and drank with their faces lit with joy and merriment. Liam and Stacy stood by one of the tables as they welcomed their few friends from the party that was invited from their medical school, while Nadia invited about four people from her new department at the WILLAND hospital without minding the ordeal everyone's tongues had put her through in the hospital. “I still can't believe you are having a baby!” One of their friends

    It had been almost two weeks since Stacy came back into Carlton's life, and their most torrid glow of love had been rekindled countless times so that they couldn't even keep a record anymore. They could not stop snuggling into each other at every moment like young puppies. He was spending his vacation time with her as he had planned to do before, as they caught up with everything they had missed, while he had to spend time with her, and accompanied her to the hospital for her medical checkup. Stacy asked him to keep the house and not move out as he planned, since the entire estate belonged to him, because every memory that they had cherished together was made in the house. It was a beautiful moment when she talked about starting a family together with him in that same house. It was no old news anymore that he was seen spotted with a pregnant woman in a facecap at different places, as media houses blew up with headlines, wondering who the strange lady he was seen with was. It broug

    “I am sorry it took this long to come back,” Stacy whispered softly, her heart aching terribly the more she saw the sullen expression etched upon his face as he gazed incredulously at her. He was finding it so hard to believe that it was truly her. Tears streamed down Carlton's face as he slowly buried his head in her shoulder, when he could finally comprehend in his head that it was truly her, “I thought I lost you forever, Stace,” he choked out, his voice laced with so much angst, breaking, “Where have you been? I… I searched for you everywhere.” She sobbed softly, clutching at him with her arms wrapped around his back as if her life depended on it, “I… am so sorry,” she whispered, “I ... .just lost my mind, you know. The truth was too much for me to bear.” “I am so sorry, Stace,” Carlton's voice was heavy as he apologized, “I am so sorry for making you go through a lot by yourself. Please forgive me,” he implored her deeply. “I am more sorry, Carlton. I shouldn't have been sel

    TWO MONTHS LATER It had been the longest days of Carlton's life, and he could not even remember how long it had been because he was back to the same pathetic state Stacy met him months ago, when he had just silently lived the saddest and most pathetic life without her. He had begun working from a tiny space in a suffocating and tight space where he separated himself from the world and the world of his own mind, which haunted him with sadness and a pressing weight of depression with which he had no idea when it would end. Though the company was back on track because he had distracted himself by working restlessly to surpass his goals for the remaining half of the year in just a few weeks, he had been like a ghost, haunting the light of the deep darkness that had taken over his happiness. After Alison's cremation, he had sent a lot of emails to Hudson to talk to him, and had even journeyed to his company on several occasions to see him, but every one of his efforts to get through
