I wanted to strangle him, hit him, and slap him tirelessly, but my muscles wouldn't respond. I was practically having the position I had fought so hard for ripped away from me."Aren't you happy?""You!" I spat, looking at him with more hatred than I had ever felt towards a person. "You're the worst I've ever known! I truly despise you with all my soul!" And in the grip of anger, I let out something I sincerely regretted, but thankfully, he didn't take it seriously. "I wish you were dead, just like I thought!"Jack arched one of his eyebrows, not losing that joyous look despite my distress.Seeing he was only mocking my anger, I slammed his desk one last time before turning around, ready to resign myself to what was left for me.However, his cynical voice stopped me."Hey, Lucy.""What?!" I yelled, giving him a look filled with irritation."You start today; your patients will be assigned to other doctors.""Do whatever you want!"I stormed out of there, slamming the door violently, st
When he had calmed down seconds later, he stared at me fixedly, making my skin crawl, causing my heart to race wildly when he brought his face close to mine, leaving it just inches away, and then tousled my hair with one of his hands, as if I were a little girl."You're still a mess at lying, Lucy.""And you're still a nuisance," I muttered, moving away uncomfortably. "Now leave me alone!"I turned around, ready to continue walking towards the hospital.Fortunately, Jack stopped his harassment for the moment and didn't reappear in front of me until hours later. Chasing after me was like a ritual for him; he had to do it, or maybe he couldn't sleep at night.I walked exhausted through the corridors towards the juice vending machine, where I decided to buy one, massaging my neck, exhausted from so much work on my shoulders.I stuck the straw into the pack and took a sip before turning to go back the way I came. However, when I saw Jack walking in my direction, I startled, choking on the
When he requested the presidential suite at the reception from a receptionist younger than I remembered.The young receptionist greeted his boss cordially. Of course, that place was part of Jack's inheritance, the only one who hadn't deduced that until a few days ago was me.He dragged me to the elevator where he pressed the button for the 36th floor upon entering. I took a deep breath, feeling my legs tremble with every floor we ascended.As the doors opened, despite my protests, he forced me into that apartment. I felt my heartbeat pause for a second as I stepped into that spacious place.It was as if I had gone back in time eight years ago; effortlessly, everything was in its place just as it had been the night of the accident.The kitchen was immaculate, the outside garden just as beautiful as in my memories, the bed with the same sheet, absolutely everything was immaculate."Do you remember?" he asked thoughtfully, observing every corner just like me."Yes...""It all seems to be
Jack bit his lips. He looked nervous.He ran one of his hands through his hair and swallowed saliva.Finally, after debating for a few seconds, he stripped off his clothes with his trembling hands, firmly grabbed my ankles to force my legs open in all their glory, letting him see parts of me he probably knew by heart.He settled in very close to my intimacy, brushing the tip of his pen'e against it, making me shudder at what he was about to do.I swallowed saliva and became wet enough to allow his manhood passage, so my vagina welcomed him even though I had thought his initial idea far-fetched, moaning sonorously at his touch.However, I remembered that he was married with a daughter, which made me stir desperately beneath him, hoping he would stop if I asked him to.“I don't want to! No!" I shrieked, feeling him slowly working his way deeper and deeper inside me. “Stop doing this, Jack! Get away from me!”“Then stop lying to me!” he muttered angrily.I could feel his tip break throug
I found myself submerged in absolute darkness.It was like a kind of sea, where the more I tried to swim to the surface, the more I sank, gradually running out of oxygen.I tried to reach the light above the waters, but it didn't happen. Slowly, I began descending into the depths, completely drowning at the moment I abruptly opened my eyes, finding myself in a room that definitely wasn't mine.Everything was white, filled with the scent of medications.I looked around, realizing it was daytime. The slightly open window allowed me to see the city from a height. It seemed I was at Jackson University Hospital.I slowly sat up, freeing myself from Nia's grip. She had fallen asleep, uncomfortably sitting on the edge of my bed, our hands intertwined.As I made my abrupt movement, she began to wake up, lazily.I observed her disdainfully as she smiled happily to have me back. She explained that I had fainted from exhaustion, and Jack had immediately taken me to the emergency room.I glared a
After hearing my request, she left me completely alone, watching as the stars emerged from the thick clouds and the full moon rose high, shining as always.I took a deep breath, trying to control the urge to curl up on the floor and cry inconsolably at everything happening in my life.However, when tears began to overflow from the corners of my eyes, the nurse arrived, indicating that I should eat something.I just nodded, and she left the food tray on the table next to the bed."You need to eat, Doctor Wolfang, you know it well," she spoke sternly.I returned to lie on the pillow, turning away from the stack of papers at my feet, even ignoring the food with its exquisite smell that invaded my nostrils.Unable to continue my bitterness and starving myself with that absurd strike that only affected me, I sat in the middle of the bed to review what Nia had left me, a bit skeptical of what I would find.I took a bite of sweet bread while perusing those pages with my medical history, symp
I was discharged after a whole week in that bed, doing absolutely nothing of importance. At least I could go back to work as usual, which was quite satisfying.Cody picked me up in the afternoon on that day I was finally free.We chatted for a while in the car as he drove me to the apartment, where Nia, upon learning of my return, had locked herself in her room, embarrassed to welcome me knowing I wouldn't even address her.So, after returning safe and sound, I lay on my room's bed for a while, waiting for sleep to envelop me as the day passed. Eventually, I couldn't stand it any longer. I sprang up, grabbed all her belongings, and headed to her room.I gently knocked on the door and, seeing no response, entered the room. She looked up from her laptop, where she was on a video call with Ryan. When she saw me, she set everything aside and stood a few steps away from me."So, is love a mental thing, or is it truly something that comes from the heart?" I asked with a slight smile, while
"Hey!" he roared, attempting to get closer to me. "Calm down, I just want to talk!"With eyes blazing, I raised another heavy book ready to hurl it at his face, not caring at all how much damage it might cause. However, he was much quicker.He grabbed my wrists, preventing any movement."Then why do you sneak in like a thief?""I thought you were asleep, I didn't want to wake you..." he whispered, slowly releasing his grip, hoping I wouldn't hit him for the umpteenth time.I scrutinized him suspiciously from head to toe, as the crooked smile on his face hid something that his eyes confirmed when they momentarily avoided mine."Jack," I crossed my arms."Alright, I just wanted to be with you for a while, I wanted to sleep beside you, okay?""Leave, Jack," I grumbled, pointing to the door with one of my fingers, hoping he wouldn't resist or I'd have to literally kick him out."Lucy, please," he murmured with a downcast expression that left me breathless for a few brief seconds. "I promi
