Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor
They threw me away like I was nothing.
Divorced me for my younger, prettier, fertile sister. I signed divorce papers while I suspected I was finally pregnant. Smiled while they handed me five thousand dollars and told me to disappear.
I disappeared, alright. Off a cliff, Into freezing water. Nearly drowned carrying his twins.
Someone wanted me dead. His family buried the investigation before my body was even cold, except there was no body. Because I survived.
Ten years later, I walk back into their world as Dr. Scarlett Fox. The surgeon they're begging to save his dying mother. He doesn't recognize me until it's too late. Untill he sees my face and his entire world crumbles.
Then he sees my kids, his kids. With his eyes and my fury.
Now Nicholas's on his knees. Saying he spent a decade in hell thinking he killed me. Saying he's changed.
But someone in his family is guilty, and as I dig deeper, people start watching.
The man who saved me, Spencer, wants me to stop. He says it's too dangerous. That I should choose him, let the past stay buried.
But I didn't survive murder just to run back scared.
I'm Dr. Scarlett Fox now. Elite surgeon. Single mother. And I'm about to perform the most important operation of my life.
Cutting out the cancer in the Cruz family.
Even if it kills me this time.

Chapter: Chapter 7: Scarlett FoxScarlett's POV "Talk me through what you're seeing."Silence from the observation gallery above. The kind that meant the residents up there was deciding between answering wrong or not answering at all. I kept my hands exactly where they were, the mitral valve exposed, posterior leaflet repairs, annulus reshaped and holding, and waited with the patience of someone who had learned that silence was its own kind of pressure."The.... the repair looks symmetrical," a voice finally said. A female in her third year. The one who'd spent the last two hours taking notes instead of watching until I'd quietly pointed out that no exam would ever ask her to describe what a valve looked like from a gallery."Looks symmetrical," I said. "Or is symmetrical?""It is symmetrical." She said after a while. "The movement on both sides is matching which means the tension is even.""And why does it matter to you at 3 AM when this patient is back in your ICU and something feels wrong?""Because uneven tensio

Chapter: Chapter 6: Let Her Stay DeadKatrina's POV I stared at the ceiling for a long time after Spencer put the phone away.The headline was still burned into the back of my eyes. My name, the timestamp, Investigation Concludes. The specific horror of understanding that while I was drowning in that river, someone was already on the phone making sure the story was written before anyone went looking for a body.All in less than three hours. I'd been married to Nicholas for three years and his family had needed less than that to bury me."You've been staring at the ceiling for ten minutes." Spencer said."I think better that way." I turned my head toward him. "Someone actually ordered this. This wasn't rage. Someone planned it, paid for it and then made calls the second it was done.""Yes they did." He said flatly."The car that hit me," I said. "Did you see who was driving?""No. The rain was heavy, and no plates visible from my angle." He paused. "I was behind you both on the road. I saw the vehicle pull out and acceler

Chapter: Chapter 5: Miracle UnderwaterKatrina's POV The first thing I noticed was the ceiling.It was white and textured. I stared at it for what felt like a long time, processing it the way your brain processed simple things when it's rebooting from somewhere it was never supposed to go.The ceiling was white. I was breathing. I was alive. That landed a second later. I was actually alive. My left side felt like someone had taken a crowbar to my ribs, my head was an experiment in pain I hadn't consented to, and my throat felt like I'd swallowed the entire river rather than just most of it.I tried to sit up. The pain that exploded through my left side was so immediate and violent that I hissed. And a firm hand came to my shoulder."Easy." A male voice spoke. "You have three cracked ribs on the left side. Sitting up fast is going to be a no from your body for awhile."I turned my head. The man beside me was early thirties, and had a blank expression. He was sitting in a chair like someone who had been there for hours."Wh

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Body They Didn't FindSpencer POV Juliet Richard opened the clinic door at eleven fifty PM in surgical scrubs and an expression that said she'd been expecting something like this, which was fair, I'd never called her at midnight with good news. We had the kind of professional relationship built entirely on high-pressure situations and mutual silence afterward. She'd covered for me twice, and I'd covered for her once in a way that technically never happened. We were even."She's alive," I said, carrying the woman through the door. "I witnessed a deliberate hit and run. We need to be discrete."She stepped aside. "Come in."I carried her in and laid her on the examination table and Juliet was already moving. She checked the pupils first, then pulse, then started cutting through the wet clothing. I assisted where needed and stayed out of the way where not."What really happened?" Juliet asked."It was at the mountain road." I replied. "Someone ran her off deliberately through the guardrail into the river and

Chapter: Chapter 3: She's Coming With MeSpencer POV I almost took the highway.I should have taken the highway. The highway was faster, better lit, and didn't require the specific kind of attention that the mountain roads demanded in rain like this. But I'd driven the highway home four hundred times and my brain had started finishing the route without me, leaving my conscious mind alone in the dark with a sixteen-year-old boy's chart and the particular sound a waiting room makes when everything has already gone wrong.The mountain road required both hands and focus. That was the only reason I took it.Ten Years in emergency medicine and I still hasn't found the off switch. Sage said I was married to the Job, usually with the specific energy of someone who had decided your life was her personal renovation project. She wasn't wrong, she was almost never wrong, which was its own kind of exhausting.But saving lives was clean and straightforward. You either did it or you didn't, and the options were medical, not emotional and

Chapter: Chapter 2: Two Versions Of MeKatrina POVThe thing about having your life crushed at a dinner table is that nobody offers you a ride home after.I drove myself in the old Honda, the one they kindly allowed me to keep, which was funny. Three years and I got a 2019 Honda, five thousand dollars, and front-row seats to the most unhinged plot twist of my own life.It was 11 PM and it rained like the sky was also grieving. I drove with both hands locked on the wheel because if I didn't give them something to hold I honestly didn't know what I'd do with them. The mountains had swallowed the city behind me, nothing ahead but dark road, guardrails catching my headlights in pale flashes, and the kind of silence that pressed against your eardrums.The rain got heavier as the road climbed, and somehow the past came flooding in.He'd been standing at the canape table at a charity event looking at the food like it had personally offended him, I was in my second year of med school, nursing the same glass of wine for two hours b
