Chapter 1

David’s pov

"Fucking bastard," I seethed. "How dare he betray me? Doesn't he know who I am? Find out where he is. I'll kill him myself." I yelled at Smith with anger.

"Sir, he took all the information on a pen drive," Smith informed me.

"Don't worry. Where can he go? Ha-ha-ha. He thinks he can run from me! I've planted a chip in each and every one of my men. I can easily locate that bastard. We have to leave for the cancer unit inauguration at one of our hospitals. I'll take care of him at night. Smith, is my car ready?" I smirked and asked Smith.

"Yes, sir," he replied while opening the door for me.

"Let's go," I said, taking my steps towards the car, and immediately left for the inauguration of my hospital's special ward. It was all part of my plan to gain sympathy from the general public, but I had a different, more sinister plan. I would do anything to maintain my innocent angelic image in society. Some people think of me as an angel, and others see me as a god.

But I am the devil. As I sat in the car, I couldn't help but let out a cruel smile.

Anna’s POV

As the woman lay in front of me in labor, I encouraged her through the pain. "Yes, ma'am, you can do it. Push... You can do it," I said, holding her hand tightly. Though childbirth can be a daunting experience, I wanted her to know she wasn't alone.

The woman's screams filled the room as she pushed with all her might. "You'll be a great mother. Push! Yes, your child is coming," I said, hoping my words could help her focus on the end result.

After just a minute, a beautiful baby girl came into the world, and I held her with a sense of awe and wonder. Saving lives, whether human or animal, always brought me joy. I couldn't believe I had helped bring a new life into the world.

As an intern, it was my job to clean the baby and hand her over to her mother. Seeing the joy on the new mother's face was an unforgettable moment, both for her and for me.

"Doctor Anna," the woman said, calling me over with a wave of her hand. "Thank you so much."

I smiled reassuringly. "Don't mention it. It was my pleasure. Be happy with your baby."

As I walked down the hospital corridor, I heard someone calling my name. It was Monica, my childhood friend and fellow intern.

"Hey, where are you going?" she asked, grinning.

"My shift is over, so I'm going home," I said, taking off my mask.

Monica put her arm around my neck. "Don't forget, we have to attend the inauguration of our cancer unit today. Mr. Carson is going to be there."

"Inauguration?" I said, caught off guard.

"Yes, come on. Mr. Carson is hot," she said, winking.

I rolled my eyes, knowing Monica was always talking about men. But I agreed to go with her anyway. Our goal was to impress the hospital administration and secure permanent jobs after our internship.

At the venue, there were media reporters and a crowd of people. Suddenly, everyone started to surround someone.

"Mr. Carson!" Monica screamed, grabbing my arm. "Oh my god, Anna. He's so hot and handsome. I wish I could have him in my bed."I felt so embarrassed that I almost going to turn around and hide my face, “Ohh Monica. Shut up. What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?”

“Anna, see him first then scold me.” She answered me with a heavy voice. I know I somehow offended her with my words.

In an attempt to make Monica happy, I tried to search for David Carson. However, the crowd around him was so thick that I could only catch a glimpse of his back. Despite this, I could see his perfectly toned body with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His formal suit accentuated his masculine physique. His black hair was sleekly combed back, and he wore a grey suit with a white shirt. Despite my efforts, I was unable to catch a glimpse of his face.

"Did you see him, Anna?" Monica asked impatiently, patting my shoulder.

"No," I replied, which seemed to disappoint her greatly. I wondered if not seeing this person called David Carson was a crime.

"Have you never seen him in a magazine or on TV?" Monica asked, surprised and open-mouthed.

I was getting irritated by her persistence. "No, Monica. I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

"What are you saying, Anna? I wish my boyfriend were as rich and hot as him."

"All rich men are playboys," I retorted, causing Monica to pause. Our in-charge nurse then stopped Monica from continuing the conversation.

"What are you girls doing? Today, Mr. Carson will be awarding a nurse from this hospital, and whoever receives the award will have a permanent job here."

"Really? Oh my god, that's great!" Monica exclaimed.

"Girls, go backstage," the nurse instructed.

"But I want to see Mr. Carson," Monica protested.

"Monica..." I interjected, grabbing her hand and dragging her towards the backstage area. The ceremony had already begun, and a group of nurses were waiting backstage. Monica dragged me to a corner where we could catch a glimpse of the stage, but we couldn't see Mr. Carson.

"Good evening, everyone. Tonight, we have our chief guest, Mr. Carson. We all know about his contributions towards society. Let's give him a huge round of applause, and we want to hear from him. So, here comes Mr. Carson," the emcee announced.

David stood up and buttoned up his suit before walking towards the microphone. "Good evening, everyone. I hope you are all well. Actually, I haven't done that much for society. There is still a lot that I need to do. I want people to be happy always. I donated money to build this hospital so that poor people can receive free treatment. And now, we are opening a new unit for cancer patients where they can receive free treatment. I do this for humanity. I hope people will be inspired by me and do charity in the future," he spoke.

The whole crowd went crazy, giving him a standing ovation and showering him with praise. I was backstage and could hear his deep, sexy voice echoing throughout the hall.

"Anna, Mr. Carson is speaking...ugh, how sexy his voice is!" Monica exclaimed.

"Monica, you are..." I trailed off, but deep down, I was impressed by his speech and his kind heart. He was truly a great human being.

"See, Anna? All rich men are not bad. He has a huge heart," Monica said.

"Yeah, yeah...I got it, Monica. You're just obsessed with him," I replied.

"Girls, now Mr. Carson will be awarding some of our nurses. Get ready," the in-charge nurse instructed.

Monica began to put on some makeup, as did all the other nurses. I just got annoyed and listened as they called each nurse to the stage, where Mr. Carson presented them with their awards. The nurses who had already received their awards were chatting amongst themselves.

"Did you see him? Oh my god, how could someone be this handsome and hot!

The girls were giggling there and Anna was hearing.
