Atasha's POVI kept on walking until my feet got tired. I stopped at an unfamiliar park. I don't know how far it is to Peninsula Hotel all I know is that I am lost and I have no idea how to come back.I sat on the wooden bench to rest. I wiped the tears that fell from my eyes again. I looked at my phone to look for someone that could help me but I was left with two options, it's either I swallow my pride and call Conrad or forget my revenge for a while and ask for Sebastian's help.After a few minutes of thinking I chose the latter. It is much more tolerable to face Sebastian rather than face Conrad looking like a mess.I gather all my courage to dial Sebastian's number and after a few rings, he answered."Are you okay?" he asked because this is the first time that I called his number.Tears fell from my eyes upon hearing that question and after a while, a sob escaped from my mouth."Help me please," I begged in between my sobs."What happened?" Sebastian asked and I can hear the pani
Conrad's POVMorning came and just like what I promised Atasha, I book a flight back to Kansas.Before leaving Rome I talked to some of my men and ordered them to guard Atasha at a distance.I can't feel at ease knowing that she is alone with the Hudson but I have no choice because caging her will make everything worse...and she might hate me even more.When the plane landed in Kansas, I stepped out of the plane and the first person that welcome me is Veronica."Welcome back Conrad!" she happily uttered and even raised the little banner that says "welcome home"."You think I will give you a raise if you do this?" I asked teasing her."You won't?" she asked with her eyes widened which made me smile."I won't," I firmly responded then walked towards the car and occupied the driver seat. Veronica on the other hand occupied the shotgun seat and then faced me."How's Rome?" she asked looking at me intently."Same as before," I responded then put on my seat belt and started the engine."Did
Atasha's POVIt's our last day here in Rome and Rafael decided to visit the cemetery. I decided to come since Rafael needs proper monitoring but I promise to give them space once we arrived.Sebastian drives the car while Rafael is sitting in the backseat and I am in the passenger seat.I contented myself by looking at the view outside."It's been a decade since I last visited her grave," Rafael said."I'm sure Aunt Selene missed you Dad," Sebastian responded. I didn't bother to join their conversation as a sign of respect.After a while, the car stopped and we arrived at a huge cemetery.I get off from the car and Sebastian did the same. He open the door in the backseat and assisted his father from stepping outside the car."I'm not that weak Sebastian," Rafael uttered."I know Dad," Sebastian responded but continued guiding his father.I simply followed them and watched how Sebastian take care of his father. I can't help but to smile and be emotional at the same time because I rem
Conrad's POVI stared at Atasha's face and after a few minutes, I decided to carry her towards her room.I carefully laid her on her bed and removed the few strands of hair that covers her face.I can't help but smile while looking at her.After a while, I let out a deep breath then stood up and turn the lights off. I stepped out of her room and then quietly closed her door.I walked towards the living room to turn off the TV and clean the mess after that I headed back to my room and decided to rest.The next morning I woke up a little late so I immediately take a quick bath and wear my working clothes before stepping out of my room.I walked towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast for me Atasha but when I stepped inside the kitchen I saw food on the table and a small note attached to it.'Eat your breakfast before you leave.'I smiled upon reading the letter.Atasha made me toast and she also fried bacon and eggs. It's a simple breakfast but it feels special.That simple gesture lig
Atasha's POVI felt my body aching when the training ended. I cannot even take a step but I forced myself."Do you want me to carry you?" Conrad asked while we are walking in the hallway."I'm fine," I responded and continued walking but with every step, I felt pain surge in my whole body.I heard Conrad let out a deep breath then without any warning he carried me in bridal style."Put me down," I said but he acted like he didn't hear me at all.After a while, he stopped in front of his unit then pressed the code and after a few seconds the door opened.Conrad continued carrying me to my room. He carefully laid me on my bed and then looked at my face intently."Cold showers help numb the pain and reduce inflammation," he uttered which made me smile."You're a doctor now?" I asked teasing him."Learned by experience," he responded."How old are you when you started your training?" I asked without breaking off our gazes."Six," he responded and I instantly feel bad. I can imagine his fr
Conrad's POV I put the newspaper down when Atasha stepped out of the kitchen. I let out a deep breath and then decided to leave as well.I drove towards my office and upon arriving my employees greeted me.I headed to my office to continue doing some paperwork and when lunchtime came I am contemplating whether I should eat with Atasha.After a few minutes of thinking I gather all my courage and drive towards Hudson's hospital carrying the lunch that I bought for us.I searched for her in the emergency room but she wasn't there so I headed to the hospital's cafeteria and there I saw her laughing with Sebastian.I held the food tightly as I watched them. I want to punch Sebastian in the face but I decided to calm myself rather than make a scene.I was about to leave when Grace saw me."You're looking for Atasha?" she asked then her eyes shifted from the food I am holding."I already saw her," I responded and I was about to leave when she held my hand."But she didn't see you right?" sh
Atasha's POVMy body aches every time I move so Sebastian forced me to take a rest and he took all my workload.I don't know how long I had been asleep but I woke up when I felt someone touching my forehead."Let's get you admitted," Conrad uttered the moment I open my eyes."Hospital bed makes me even sicker. I'm fine here in my office," I responded.Conrad let out a deep breath and then nod his head."Did you have breakfast?" he asked while looking at me intently.I nod my head weakly."Did you take any medicine?" he asked. When I saw worry on his face I started hoping for something again."Painkillers," I responded."I'm sorry," he apologized after a while. Upon looking at his eyes intently I saw guilt."For what?" I asked without tearing off our gazes."For creating a scene at the bar," he responded.I let out a deep breath. He shouldn't take all the blame because he has every reason to act that way. I was too drunk to even realise that I am kissing Sebastian. I can't control myse
Conrad's POVAfter having breakfast I decided to bring Atasha to the shelter that I built for kids abandoned by their parents.No one knows that I own this kind of place. She is the only person that I brought here.When we arrived at the shelter kids started running towards my car and upon getting off they hugged me tightly."Uncle Conrad!" they happily shouted.After a while Sister Solana along with Sister Teresa greeted us."It's nice to see you again Conrad. It's been a long time since your last visit," Sister Teresa uttered while looking at me with her eyes filled with happiness.I smiled back at Sister Teresa and then at Sister Solana."It's nice to see you again Sisters. I'm sorry it took me too long to visit, I got busy with my business," I responded then turned my head to Atasha. I held her hand and then looked at Sister Teresa and Sister Solana."And got even busier after marriage. This is my wife, Sisters, Atasha Quinn, she's a doctor," I proudly introduced Atasha to them.A
