“You are finally getting discharged tomorrow morning,” Liam announced mildly with a demure demeanor, as he flipped through the charts of the patient, whose bed he was standing before, “Do not break bones and return here the third time, okay,” he continued, as he looked at her facial expression which looked like she was always ready to fight.

“I cannot guarantee that,” Keisha answered frivolously, as she turned to continue making final touches to the image that she had been sketching all day.

“Wow! That is some level of outspokenness,” Liam almost stuttered as he spoke to the young lady, as he wondered what was going on in her mind that made her say that.

“At least I am better than you,” Keisha remarked, without raising her face to look at him while deeply engrossed in what she was doing.

“What?” Liam's feet held back on the spot when he heard what she said in disbelief, the thin line of his left brow arching a little higher than the right as he turned to look at her in surprise.

    Unable to hide his recent struggles from Stacy anymore, which he had hidden under a mask of a smile, she demanded to know what was going on with him and why he wasn't telling her anything at all. “Why would you not yell anything, Carlton?! Why do you always hide everything to yourself and suffer alone,” Stacy demanded from him as soon as they entered his house after waiting patiently without saying anything in the car, her eyes blazing with anger and hurt as she struggled to contain the storm of emotions raging within her.“It is not like that, Stace, calm down. A lot has happened since I returned, and it is quite a hassle for me to start telling you everything. I can fix everything with time,” Carlton tried to explain to her in the best way that he could, when he realized that she was angry than he had ever seen her before. “So it does not matter enough for me to know whatever struggles you are going through, regardless of what it is, because you can sort it out yourself? Is that w

    Julius and Carlton had not spoken to one another for a while because of their constant misunderstandings with one another, and his strong disapproval of the supposed doctor he said he was dating. However, he didn't believe the part where he said the lady was his ex-wife, and had even intentionally omitted the information from his head, believing that Carlton said that just because he was enraged. Still, he couldn't help but be subconsciously bothered that his grandson was dating the person who treated him, because he believed it was a mere attraction that sprouted because of his longtime loneliness without a woman, and dependence on the so-called doctor. But with how everything had turned out with the emergency shareholder meeting they had without him, and Carlton returning to the company so abruptly, because of everything that had happened in his absence. He had been trying hard to reach Carlton, but it had not been easy for the past few days. And finally, his beloved grandson was

    On the rooftop of the towering heights of a city skyscraper, was Nadia, standing and staring at the beautiful night scenery from that height, while allowing the cold breeze of the night to tousle through her long, flowing hair. Rather than the sight she was gazing at, her mind was ladened with the thoughts of the unexpected encounter that she had with Xander, and the overwhelming emotion that she was yet to get over from the thought of meeting him in that manner at her favorite café. “Fancy meeting you here,” he drawled, eyes gazing at her with so much surprise because she was the last person he would ever have thought to meet.Her head banged at the sight of him and her heart began to beat so fast like she was running out of breath, the more she gazed into his eyes and remembered the torment and pain he had put her through. “How have you been?” He asked her with a smile curving his lips, and her words hung up her throat in disbelief. Her jaw clenched so hard and her fingers tighte

    “Yeah. You said it was urgent,” Liam affirmed as he gazed at her too, with great curiosity lurking in his heart, while trying to get it in control of its rapid beats that awaited the words he had imagined over and over in his head that she would say to him. He had wondered endlessly what she wanted to tell him. “Marry Evelyn, and take over the hospital. It wouldn't be nice if you lost your inheritance,” she muttered briefly as she carried her eyes away from him, her words skipping so fast, like it would hurt her to say them slowly. “What are you talking about?” Liam questioned, his eyebrows jumping in surprise as his forehead knotted in confusion. Immediately, he realized that Evelyn had informed her again of the threat his father had made to him, so that she would pressure him to obey. “Don't you want to take over your inheritance? Do you want to lose what is rightfully yours over something so trivial?” Nadia asked him sternly, her heart beating so erratically, and her voice tre

    “Hi, Hudson,” Stacy called sluggishly as soon as she sat in front of her brother, at the restaurant he told her that he was going to meet her. She had been restless ever since he asked if she was at Carlton's, and there was no way that she could deny it even if she wanted to. And she agreed to meet him and talk about it, knowing that he must have been something enough to be convinced. She never thought the day they would have to speak about her and Carlton would come that briskly. “Hey, kid sister,” Hudson responded with a dry smile, even if he had so many ideas and thoughts going on in his head. He had too many questions to ask his sister, and he was not even sure he would know where to start. “How have you been?” Stacy asked him, as she ordered just wine instead of food, knowing that there was no way that she would be able to get food into her stomach, with the nauseating feeling that tension had spread over her body. “Been great, sis,” Hudson answered, “Trust you have been too,”

    Reporters are waiting everywhere outside the hospital. What is going on?” One nurse questioned the other person sitting beside her, as her eyes focused on the ruckus that seemed to be going on outside the hospital with reporters struggling to enter when it was barely noon. “I guess it has to do with the news that came out this morning about the Howard conglomerate,” she answered, as she sorted out the patients' charts she had been asked to bring information about. “What has that got to do with the hospital? Did they fund the hospital too? Are we going to be investigated? Gosh, what would I do if we lost our jobs?” The one who had asked, panicked, which made the other one roll her eyes in irritation. “Would you catch your breath and listen? Or I leave?” She hissed, and the other one composed herself instantly. “Apparently, the CEO , Carlton Howard, was one of our VIP patients in the hospital, and news came out that he had been getting treatment in our hospital for the past years, w

    “Is that not the billionaire that was on the news?” Nadia whispered as she dragged Stacy to the other side of the room, after Carlton had taken his seat in their living room. “Yeah,” she responded, with a modest smile gracing her lips. “What is he doing here?” Nadia whispered, still not grasping what was going on. “Because this is the only safe place he can be that no one would know about,” Stacy chuckled, trying hard to keep her laughter in check because of how her friend was freaking out. “What?! Do you know him from somewhere?” she questioned again, while trying to understand what a man like him was doing in their house. “Yeah. He was my outpatient,” Stacy answered lazily, while trying to keep Nadia from squirming uncontrollably. “Wow! Your outpatient? So that means…….” That was when realization hit Nadia, the moment she comprehended the information that she had just been told. “He is your boyfriend?! This is the man you are dating?!” She half-yelled, losing herself already

    It had been days since Carlton left on the short trip that he had gone on with James, and Stacy had been trying to maintain her sanity even if it was so hard to do that. She had not been able to reach him ever since he left, through calls, text messages, or even emails, and it was hard to hide the rising tide of panic that threatened to engulf her. Desperate to hide that she was fine, she forced a bright smile whenever she was with her patients, while trying to hide the fact that she had been overthinking a lot about what was going on. Though she landed two nice paying gigs which she finished in two days to keep her busy, she could not be happy, considering how things had fallen apart for her too. “Are you fine, Stace?” Fiona, who was a new doctor that was assigned to work with her, asked, her voice frail and thin in its usual way. “Yes. Why do you ask?” Stacy answered her with a smile, even if she knew what the lady was talking about. However, she was scared of showing her weakness

    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
