Chapter 93

The morning sun glared through my apartment windows as Mia barged in unceremoniously, dragging Eva and Daniel behind her.“Get up, Amira! We’re going out, and you’re not saying no!” Mia declared, hands on her hips.I groaned, pulling the blanket over my head. “Mia, it’s Monday. Don’t you guys have duty!”“Nope. Why do we have to fear for job security if we have Mia The great,” Daniel added, grinning as he plopped onto the edge of my bed.“Besides,” Eva chimed in, “we already planned the whole thing. It’s a half-day trip. You’ll thank us later.”Realizing resistance was futile, I sighed and dragged myself out of bed.When we got downstairs, I felt a bit awkward seeing him. Ryan was sitting in the driver’s seat of the car, waiting with a smile.“Oh no,” I muttered, turning to Mia. “This isn’t what I signed up for.”She smirked. “Relax. It’s a group thing. Ryan just happens to be driving. Pure coincidence.”“Sure,” I replied dryly, sliding into the front passenger seat as they shoved me

Chapter 94

The moment I walked into the hospital, it felt like I had returned home. The familiar smell of disinfectant, the bustling sound of patients and doctors in the hallways, and the warmth of my residents greeting me—it was all comforting.“Dr. Amira, you’re back!” one of the junior residents exclaimed, rushing over to hug me.“Yes, yes, I’m back,” I said, laughing. “Now get back to work, all of you. I don’t want to see anyone slacking because I’m here!”They laughed but quickly dispersed, leaving me smiling to myself. It felt good to be back.Later, I made my way to the cafeteria for a quick coffee. That’s when I saw Ryan, sitting at a table by himself. Usually, he was surrounded by our mutual friends or joking with the staff, but today he seemed withdrawn.I walked up to him cautiously. “Hey,” I said softly, but he didn’t even look up.“Hey,” he replied curtly, his eyes fixed on his phone.The coldness in his tone hit me like a slap. I stood there awkwardly for a moment before deciding t

Chapter 95

Working with kids had become my safe haven. Their innocent laughter, their boundless energy, and their curious questions filled my days with purpose. Every evening, after leaving the hospital, I would take Leo to the park. Watching him run freely always brought me peace. Sometimes, Adam, Denis’s son, would join us, and seeing the two of them play together gave me a rare sense of contentment.Yet, even amid these moments of normalcy, there was an ache buried deep inside me—a guilt I couldn’t ignore.One evening, as I tossed Leo’s favorite ball in the park, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I glanced at the screen and saw Mom flashing across it.I hesitated for a moment before answering. “Hello?”“Amira,” my mother’s voice came through, frail and pleading. “Please, come see me. I miss you.”I bit my lip, my chest tightening. “Mom, I… I can’t right now. Work has been—”“Amira, don’t make excuses,” she interrupted softly. “You’ve been avoiding me for too long.”I closed my eyes, guilt washing

Chapter 96

I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my heart racing for no reason. That’s when I heard it—a faint tapping, like nails against wood, coming from the far corner of the room.I sat up, my breath caught in my throat. “Who’s there?” My voice was barely a whisper.The tapping stopped.For a moment, there was silence, and then… dragging. A soft, deliberate sound as though something heavy was being pulled across the floor.My blood ran cold as my eyes darted to the corner. Nothing.I forced myself into the sheets.Then I saw it—a faint outline of a figure towards me, its head tilted unnaturally to the side.I pulled away the sheets from my face. I saw nothing.my heart beating fast.It must be my imagination, i pacified myself.I closed my eyes.the bed creaked as if someone had just sat on it. I turned slowly, my heart pounding in my ears.The imprint of a hand pressed into the mattress, even though no one was there.I didn’t wait any longer. I ran out of the room, slamming the door beh

Chapter 97

The funeral was a quiet affair, held under a gray sky that seemed to mourn alongside us. David had arranged everything meticulously, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. The flowers, the hymns, the serene setting—it was all perfect, yet it couldn’t mask the heaviness in my chest.My friends stayed close, offering silent support. Eva held my hand, her grip firm yet comforting. Daniel stood beside me, his presence a steady anchor amidst the swirling emotions. Mia occasionally whispered words of encouragement, reminding me to breathe, to stay strong.But Ryan—he stayed at a distance.After the service ended and people began to disperse, Ryan finally approached me. His face was unreadable, his usual warmth replaced by something restrained, almost cold.“You can hug me if you want,” he said softly, his voice devoid of any judgment.I didn’t think. I didn’t hesitate. I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around him, letting go of the stoic mask I’d been wearing all day. The tears came in

Chapter 98

After days of mourning my mother’s death, I busied myself fulfilling her last wishes and ensuring her legacy endured. The mansion, a place full of memories, was not to be abandoned as per her wish. Though the emptiness echoed within its walls, I chose to preserve it, finding solace in her desire to keep it alive. I settled accounts with everyone who had worked for her. My manager David, loyal and compassionate, refused the generous sum I offered as gratitude for his care of my mother.One evening, seeking some distraction from the sorrow, I decided to visit the orphanage I often supported. Normally, Eva would accompany me, but she was unavailable. Hesitant but left with no other option, I called Ryan.“Ryan,” I began hesitantly. “Would you like to come with me to the orphanage tomorrow? I could use some help, and I know the kids would love meeting you.”After a pause, he replied curtly, “Alright. What time?”“Let’s leave around 10 a.m.,” I said, hoping to bridge the distance that had

Chapter 99

The orphanage was alive with the chatter and laughter of children as I stood near the staff desk, discussing upcoming medical checkups for the kids. It felt good to be back in a place where kindness thrived, but I was also constantly aware of the tension in my life.As I wrapped up my conversation, I heard a commotion outside. One of the kids ran in, shouting, “He’s been stung!”I rushed outside, heart pounding, only to find Aiden standing there, clutching his arm. He had just crushed a scorpion beneath his shoe, and though he tried to appear nonchalant, his face betrayed the pain.I instinctively moved toward Aiden, but before I could take a step, Ryan grabbed my wrist, his grip firm and unyielding.“Let him deal with it,” Ryan said, his voice laced with anger. “He’s not a child.”“Ryan, I know him,” I said, meeting his fiery gaze. “He wouldn’t take care of himself even if it was life-threatening.”Ryan’s jaw tightened, but I pulled my hand free and walked toward Aiden.Aiden glanced

Chapter 100

It was another bustling morning in the hospital. As I walked into the pediatric wing, the sound of beeping monitors and faint cries filled the air. I was reviewing my patient charts when a nurse approached me hurriedly.“Dr. Amira, we have a little girl in Room 302. She’s been here since last night, and the residents are stumped. Her vitals are stable, but she’s in severe pain. No one can figure out what’s wrong,” she said breathlessly.I nodded, grabbing my stethoscope and heading toward the room. Inside, I saw a tiny figure curled up on the hospital bed. She couldn’t have been older than six. Her face was pale, and her large, teary eyes met mine as I entered.Her mother stood by her bedside, visibly distraught. “Doctor, please help her. She’s been in pain for hours. They’ve done so many tests, but they say everything looks normal.”I gave her a reassuring nod, kneeling beside the little girl. “Hi there, sweetheart. Can you tell me where it hurts?”She pointed weakly to her abdomen,

Chapter 101

Aiden paced the length of the office, his hands resting on his hips. His brow furrowed, doubt flickering across his face. “Michael, are you sure this will work?”Michael leaned casually against the desk, arms crossed and a confident smirk on his face. “Trust me, Aiden. It’s not just about business. This is about showing her you’re not the same man she left behind. Besides, the expansion to America is long overdue, and you know it.”Aiden exhaled sharply, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t want this to seem… calculated.”“It’s not calculated if it’s sincere,” Michael replied, shrugging. “The new venture will get her attention, but what you do afterward is up to you.”Aiden fell silent, staring out the window. His jaw tightened. “I hope you’re right.”The morning sunlight streamed through Amira’s apartment as she clipped Leo’s leash onto his collar. “Alright, Leo,” she said cheerily. “Let’s go stretch those legs.”The two strolled down the street to the nearby park. The crisp air an

Chapter 102

AmiraThe office was cold and sterile as I handed the stack of divorce papers to my lawyer. He gave me a brief nod and flipped through them, ensuring everything was in order.“I’ll handle everything from here, Ms. Amira,” he assured me, adjusting his glasses.“Thank you,” I said, my voice steady, though my heart felt anything but.I left the office with a strange heaviness. It wasn’t regret exactly, but a sense of finality that unsettled me. This was what I wanted—or what I thought I wanted.A week later, I decided to visit the mall to get something for the kids. As I browsed through a shelf of books, I heard a familiar voice behind me.“Amira?”I turned to see Michael, his usual calm demeanor intact, though his eyes showed a flicker of surprise.“Michael,” I acknowledged, offering a polite smile. “What brings you here?”“Work,” he said, gesturing to a folder in his hand. “And you?”“Just needed to step out,” I said casually. “How have you been?”“I’m fine,” he replied, tilting his he
