{~~Avery Sterling~~}The king was nothing like I had expected. His presence filled the room with a heavy, almost suffocating tension. He wasn’t even supposed to be here with us, yet here he stood, commanding attention with every breath he took. The air seemed to grow colder as he entered, and I could see the color drain from Ava’s face. She had always been defiant, always had a sharp retort on the tip of her tongue, but now, for the first time, I saw her tremble. Perhaps, at last, she was realizing the gravity of her crimes.The king’s dark skin glowed under the dim lighting, a stark contrast to the rich, deep crimson of his robes, which draped around his tall, broad frame with an elegance that spoke of power and authority. His features were striking—high cheekbones, a strong jawline, and eyes so intense they seemed to pierce through you. His hair was neatly braided, and a thin golden circle rested atop his head, gleaming faintly. The intricate patterns embroidered in gold on his tuni

{~~Avery Sterling~~}Working in the basement of the hospital with Martin Miller had become a routine that I found oddly comforting. The sterile smell of antiseptic, the soft hum of machines monitoring vitals, and the quiet chatter of the medical team were all familiar now. Martin was lying on a gurney, his skin pale but his breathing steady as I checked his blood pressure and other vitals. He had been through a lot, and seeing the numbers slowly stabilize gave me a sense of satisfaction, a small victory in the midst of the chaos that had engulfed our lives.There were others with us, members of the team who were just as invested into finding this cure just like I was. Their presence was a comfort, a reminder that we were all in this together, no matter how dangerous the situation became. We worked efficiently, sharing small smiles and words of encouragement as we moved from task to task, each of us doing our part to keep things running smoothly.After what felt like hours, the work wa

{~~Logan Grey~~}Can you believe she wanted to think about the king instead of her kisses? She locked her mouth with mine and expected me to focus. Okay, maybe I was the one who kissed her. But who drags someone into a broom closet if they didn’t want us to fuck? How did I misread the signals?Wait, aren’t I doing something? Should my attention not be on that? I sighed and glanced at the screen of my monitor.I was deep into the files of one of my new patients when I noticed something that sent a chill down my spine. It wasn’t something that jumped out immediately, but the more I looked, the more uneasy I became. There was something off in her system, something that didn’t add up, something that made me feel like I should triple-check everything. It wasn’t just a hunch—this was the kind of gut instinct that only comes after years of experience, the kind that told me that if I didn’t dig deeper, I’d regret it later. I knew from the get-go that this wasn’t just a normal case. And now th

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I came back from my talk with Logan, my mind racing with the implications of everything we’d discussed. The king being here was seriously disturbing me. Something about his presence is throwing me off. The weight of the situation was pressing down on me, making it hard to focus on anything else. But there was no time to dwell on it; I had more pressing matters to attend to.I headed straight for the room where Ava was being held, my footsteps echoing down the dimly lit corridor. The cold, sterile walls of the facility seemed to close in around me, amplifying the tension that had been building since this whole ordeal began. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, a steady, relentless beat that matched the urgency of the situation. It was high time Ava told me what she knew. I couldn’t afford to let her keep silent any longer. Too much was at stake, and the clock was ticking.It’s time for her to tell me everything.As I approached the door, I took a deep breath

{~~Avery Sterling~~}I had to contact Logan. The moment I saw the blood pooling beneath my sister, the cold, hard reality of the situation hit me like a freight train. The surgery wasn’t going as planned—not by a long shot. The baby had been delivered, but something was horribly wrong. Her pulse was weak, her skin ashen, and the monitors were screaming with alarm. The doctors were doing everything they could, but it wasn’t enough. She was bleeding out, slipping away with every passing second, and all I could think was that this couldn’t be happening—not now, not like this.For a moment, I froze, watching the chaos unfold in slow motion. The nurses scrambled around her, hands moving frantically as they tried to stem the flow of blood. Doctor Shawn’s face was a mask of concentration, but even he couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes. My sister’s life was hanging by a thread, and if she died, everything we’d been working towards would be lost. She was the only key we had to Rex, the only p

{~~Logan Grey~~}When the king and his wife showed up at my office, I thought they were going to talk about something but after an initial questioning of my skills, they told me to have dinner with them. I’m not going alone, Avery will be there with me.We’re getting ready now. After the whole surgery fiasco. The hospital decided they would watch Ava’s child for a while then we could decide what to do with the baby. I would like to talk to Avery about it. The child cannot go, Ava, she’s going to prison. I don’t know who will take the child. Especially one attached to this scandal. No orphanage will accept this child, and even if they do they might treat the child wrongly.We have the children from the other women, but we don’t have the women. They’re the key factor. The kids remember nothing. If they haven’t sold the children, then what is Darren’s endgame here?I just know in my gut that it has something to do with Avery. I turned my eyes to her. The red dress looks amazing on her bo

{~~Avery Sterling~~}“That was dumb. We need to be on his side. He’s going to mess with what we’re doing. He’ll—” I began, my voice tinged with frustration as the car hummed along the dark, winding road. The trees outside blurred together, a streak of shadowy green against the setting sun as if the world was rushing past us while we remained stuck in the same argument.“He shouldn’t have treated you that way,” Logan interrupted, his tone firm, the muscles in his jaw tightening as he gripped the steering wheel. His eyes remained fixed on the road ahead, but I could sense the storm brewing behind them. The way he clenched his teeth, the way his hands tightened around the leather wheel—it was all so very Logan, ready to defend me, ready to protect, even when I wasn’t asking for it.“We spent less than five minutes there, Logan,” I countered, my voice rising slightly, frustration lacing each word. “We didn’t eat or drink anything. But you—” I paused, trying to gather my thoughts, trying n

{~~Avery Sterling~~}The next day found me back at the hospital, the sterile scent of antiseptic and the hum of activity swirling around me like a familiar, albeit somewhat overwhelming, embrace. My injuries still stung, a constant, nagging reminder of the chaos that had brought me to this point, but I was feeling better—well enough for the CMO to clear me for duty.With that clearance, I was officially off paid leave and back on the clock, ready to immerse myself in the work that had always provided me with a sense of purpose, even in the darkest of times. It was strange, the way the hospital felt both like a sanctuary and a battlefield, the place where I found my strength but also where I faced the harshest realities.By noon, I had already handled eight patients, each one a different story, a different challenge. The steady rhythm of checking vitals, adjusting medications, and offering reassurances brought a sense of normalcy, of control, that I desperately needed. It was a welcome
