Chapter: Chapter five: Warmth in a cold man's chest8amAs Seraphina applied her lipstick, her phone buzzed, she placed her lipstick on the vanity table.She picked up her phone,“Mr. Cross, Good morning?” she said.“Dr. St. Claire, You need to come over to the West Manor” Cassian said.“I’ll be right there” Seraphina picked up her Stethoscope, a black file and lab coat before hurrying out.When she arrived, she put on the lab coat and opened the door.The untouched breakfast tray sat beside the bed while the medical staff remained unusually silent.Seraphina glanced briefly toward Amelia, catching the stiffness in her expression before the woman quickly looked away.Seraphina’s sharp gaze swept across the untouched medication.“Are you being difficult again, Mr. Laurent?”The expression on her face made clear she was not here for games.Damien’s attention lingered on her longer than it should have.For the first time since she arrived at the Laurent Ridge, she looked less like an untouchable surgeon and more like a woman

Chapter: Chapter four: A man undone by curiousitySeraphina spent the next seven days right inside the laboratory.She had Amelia bring his medicine because she couldn’t pause anytime, she was having important research work.She only stepped out to take her bath, have short prayers, eat small meals then return to continue for the seven days.Damien was much better now because she had changed his medicine after some discovery at the lab and even upgraded his meal into some healthy medicinal ones.She took a full course on food medicine when she expanded her research of totally making a heart regenerate itself, and it was a part of her treatment plan.In fact, the pains he felt were much faint now and his paleness was lost within days of treatment.Damien hadn’t stopped asking after her since she didn’t show up at his side.Today, when he was done using taking his medications, Damien set the glass down slowly.“Dr. St. Claire still hasn’t left the laboratory?”Damien asked.“Dr. St. Claire has barely left the laboratory all

Chapter: Chapter Three: Running toward the unknownThe doctors dispersed after Seraphina had uncovered the problem.She was also about to leave when he called out,“Dr. St. Claire?” “Yes” Seraphina said turning to face him.Damien studied her carefully."The St. Claire family is practically royalty in the medical world. "His gaze sharpened. "I've heard countless stories about Celeste St. Claire.""Yet somehow, I've never heard a single one about you." He said. "Why is that?"Seraphina smiled faintly,"Fame was never my priority." She turned toward the door. "Saving lives is.""Now, if you'll excuse me, your treatment plan won't write itself."Damien glanced toward the silent television."Before you go..." "Turn that on."Just as the Television came on, it was a news on her engagement,“The wealthy and renowned New York family, the St. Claire has cancelled the engagement ceremony between their second daughter, Seraphina St. Claire and Adrain Montclair, the CEO of Montclair Pharmaceuticals due to the disappearance of the

Chapter: Chapter Two: The man worth saving...Seraphina arrived in California by 9pm the moment she disembarked the jet.She was escorted through the private terminal by two air staffs.A black Rolls Royce was parked outside,The man in Navy blue suit stepped forward alongside the chauffeur,“Welcome to Bel Air, Dr. St. Claire!” The chauffeur said."Dr. St. Claire, I'm Cassian Cross. Thank you for coming on such short notice."His expression tightened."Mr. Laurent's condition has deteriorated faster than expected. Every minute matters."The chauffeur took care of her bags and helped her into the car.Even though she was also from a very wealthy family, treatments like this never belonged to her.In twenty minutes, they arrived inside the estate, that was called The Laurent Ridge.The car pulled up in the heart of this ridge, when they alighted, the estate looked less of a residence and more like a private kingdom in Bel Air.“Dr. St. Claire, this way please” Cassian said.They headed towards the largest manor which w

Chapter: Chapter One: Seven years for nothing“You’re still going through with this engagement?” Seraphina paused, looking in the direction she had heard the voice.The familiar voice belonged to her step-sister, Celeste.Then she heard another calm voice,It belonged to her fiancé, Adrian.“I don’t have a choice!”Beyond the half-open lounge door, her fiancé stood with Celeste, his hands resting possessively on her waist.This sent chills through Seraphina’s heart.“Then, what about me?” Celeste asked softly.There was a brief moment of silence.Seraphina walked closer to an angle where she could see them.Adrian sighed, brushing his fingertips against Celeste’s face."You know why I have to do this. Marrying Seraphina gives me access to the St. Claire medical empire. Their hospitals are everywhere. One marriage secures deals that would take decades to build."Seraphina clenched her fists; her eyes had turned cold"Mother ensured I was well trained, but just a few surgeries from her, she earned a name" Celeste mut
