    *Desire's POV*

    

    

    I woke up to the smell of ethanol and was greeted by completely white surroundings. What happened last night came flashing in my mind.  I was stabbed! I checked my stomach, and saw a bandage in there, indicating that what happened last night wasn't a dream. I was really stabbed after doing the medical mission!

    

    

    I tried to stand up but my wound feels like it's burning every time I tried to move. Gosh! I still have some patients to attend to! I can't be here laying in bed while my patients are waiting for me! 

    

    The door swung open to reveal my grandfather's worried face. He's with my nanny who's obviously worried as well. I felt sorry for making them worry.

  • Venomous Desire   Chapter 8; The Weight Of Loss

    Desire’s heart raced as she sprinted through the hospital’s sliding glass doors, the sterile scent of antiseptic and the muted sounds of beeping machines enveloping her like a shroud. Panic clawed at her throat, each step echoing the urgency of her thoughts. She had received the call just moments ago, a frantic voice on the other end telling her to hurry. Her grandfather, the patriarch of the Almonte family, was in critical condition. “Where is he?” she gasped, her breath coming in sharp bursts as she approached the reception desk. The nurse behind the counter looked up, her expression a mix of sympathy and professionalism. “Please, I need to see my grandfather, Mr. Almonte,” Desire pleaded, her voice trembling. The nurse’s eyes softened, but there was a gravity in her demeanor. “I’m sorry, but you need to follow me. He’s… he’s in the morgue.” Desire’s heart sank, the words hitting her like a physical blow. “No, no, that can’t be right. I just spoke to him last night. He was fine

    The air in the boardroom was thick with tension, a palpable mix of ambition and uncertainty. Desire sat at the head of the long, polished table, her fingers drumming lightly against the surface, a rhythmic reminder of her resolve. The room was filled with half of the board members of Almonte Empire, a group of seasoned executives who had weathered storms and navigated corporate treachery for decades. But today, they were not just there to discuss quarterly profits; they were there to discuss a war. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice,” she began, her voice steady and commanding. “I know the recent changes have left many of you unsettled. My grandfather , the chairman had left us unexpectedly. And knowing my uncle he would do everything to take over. Chase is ambitious, but he lacks the vision to lead this company into the future. I believe together, we can change that.” A murmur of agreement rippled through the room, but Desire could see the hesitation in their eyes. They

    Chase's POV; "Could you believe it? I was there when he was having difficulties with that stupid company! But he only gave me 20% share? What am I going to do with that stupid share?" I slammed my fist hard on the table. This is a big embarrassment and I will never accept it! "Bro, calm down. Atleast he gave you 20% share when in fact we both know that you don't deserve any of it!" Louie said that made me more furious. "Are you serious? You think I don't deserve anything? After all my sacrifices?" I was about to punch him but he was able to catch my fist before it landed on his face. "Bro, calm down. Remember what you did to him! You killed him! You have killed the man who stood beside you as your father and raised you like his own child! Man that was insane! You have a very big sin!" he told me. "You shut up! If that stupid Desire finds out about this, I would strangle your neck and throw your dead body in the river!" I warned him. He swallowed the lump

    *Third Person's POV* She trembled as she felt the cold breeze touching her bare skin. It was late in the evening and an unexpected thing happened. Her car overheated and now she's stuck in the middle of nowhere. The road was quite and not even a single car passes. She could see nothing but the rough road and the tall trees sorrounding it. She could hear the sound of the night owl coming from the middle of the woods. She sighed out of frustration and combed her long blonde hair using her fingers. And just as when she was about to call her friends for help, her phone went dead. "Why the hell did this happened?" She sighed. She was supposed to go home after a tiring medical mission but ended up being stuck in the middle of the rough road. She was about to go inside her car when she noticed two human figures approaching. All of a sudden she felt nervous, her body wasn't trembleng from the cold anymore, but from the fear she's feeling. She opened her car door and was about to go insid

The place is a slightly crowded area, with houses made of nipa and surrounded with different kinds of trees.
