DAMIEN'S POV

The exhaustion clung to me like a second skin. Consulting with patients all morning, navigating their needs, always took its toll. I rubbed my temples, a familiar ache blooming behind my eyes. A quick bathroom break was all I needed, a momentary escape before diving back into the paperwork.

I leaned back in my swivel chair, massaging my temples, trying to knead away the building tension. A few stretches did little to alleviate the stiffness from hours of sitting.

I glanced outside my office door. Adrian’s office door was closed. The clinic felt strangely muted, hollow without the sound of his enthusiastic, booming voice.

It was already lunchtime, and usually, by this time, Adrian would cheerfully barge in, a whirlwind of energy, asking for my lunch order. "The usual, Damien?" he'd always ask, a mischievous glint in his eyes. I missed that small ritual, that little burst of sunshine.

I hastened my bathroom break, hoping maybe Adrian would be back by the time I returned.

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 91: Dream or Memory?

    DAMIEN'S POVThe bass vibrated in my chest, each thump a reminder of why I hated clubs. Yet here I was, crammed into this sweaty, pulsating mass of bodies with Adrian, reliving the glory days, or at least trying to.“Remember Mrs. Higgins?” I shouted over the music, leaning close to Adrian’s ear. "The librarian? Holy moly, I still can't believe we pulled that threesome off!"Adrian laughed, the sound a little strained. “Don’t remind me. I’m pretty sure I’m still paying for that with my karma.”We were mid-reminisce about our college conquests, a pathetic attempt to recapture a youth that felt both distant and embarrassingly recent, when the club door swung open, momentarily silencing the music. A waiter, looking flustered and out of breath, threaded his way through the crowd towards us, holding a bottle of wine like it was a ticking bomb.“Compliments of the house,” he mumbled, avoiding eye contact. He slammed the bottle down on our table and scurried away as if afraid we’d ask questi

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 90: Unknown Past

    ADRIAN'S POV Her assurance was all it took. With a newfound sense of purpose, we made an appointment with the hypnotherapist the very next day. The thought of confronting my past, of delving into the depths of my pain, was daunting. But the promise of a new beginning, of a life free from the shackles of my past, was too enticing to resist."Are you sure about this, Adrian?" Gayle asked, as we sat in the waiting room, the air thick with anticipation. "It's okay if you want to back out. We can always cancel."I shook my head, my jaw set with determination. "No. I need to do this. I'm doing this for myself. And maybe… maybe I'm even doing it for Damien.""For Damien?" Gayle tilted her head, her expression questioning."Yeah," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need to let go of the romantic feelings I have for him. It's the reason our friendship was ruined. I don't want that anymore. I want to be able to see him again, without all the baggage, without all the hurt. I want to be

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 89: Hypnotherapy

    ADRIAN'S POV I stared at her, my mouth hanging open. "You're… you're a literal princess? As in, tiaras and castles and waving to crowds from balconies?"She giggled. "Sometimes. Mostly it's just boring meetings and awkward family dinners.""This is ridiculous," I stammered. "Three months ago, I was mistaken for a prince when I just landed in the airport, and now I'm friends with a princess. My life is officially a poorly written fairy tale."Gayle reached across the table and squeezed my hand. "Hey, don't let it get to your head. It's still me, remember? Just Gayle.""But… why didn't you tell me?" I asked, still reeling.Her smile faltered, and she seemed to shrink back a little. "To be honest? I saw you before you even got the job at St. Jude's. I saw you talking to my mother, Queen Victoria, when she summoned you about that mistaken identity thing. I even… I even followed you home after you left."My jaw dropped. "You followed me? You were stalking me?"She blushed, her cheeks turn

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 88: A Literal Princess

    ADRIAN'S POV The next day, I found myself standing near the cafeteria during lunch, scanning the tables for Gayle. The thought of actually seeking her out was unnerving, but the alternative... another solitary meal, another afternoon of suffocating silence, it was even worse. I saw her sitting alone at our usual table, reading a book.I took a deep breath and approached her. "Let’s… ahm… do you mind... ahm... if we have lunch now?” I said, the words stumbling out, my voice barely above a whisper.Gayle abruptly turned and openly gaped at me. Her eyes widened, and for a moment, she looked completely speechless."Close your mouth, you look... ridiculous," I said to Gayle, a slight, teasing smile tugging at my lips. I couldn't help it. She looked genuinely surprised that I was actually engaging with her."Are you sick? Who are you? What have you done to my sulky friend?" she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. I scratched my head awkwardly, feeling the familiar heat creep up my neck

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 87: Fresh Start

    ADRIAN'S POV"Hello, I’m Gayle…" The voice, bright and sunny, cut through the quiet hum of the doctor's lounge. I didn't bother looking up. Just another intern, probably lost and looking for directions. People always seemed to find me when they needed something."I think we are from the same department... I'm also from the urology department…" she continued, her tone still unnervingly amicable.I flipped a page of my patients' report demanding my attention. Or, rather, providing a convenient shield. I had no interest in making small talk, especially not with someone so…vibrant."You are new here right?, and I can see you are always alone," she persisted, undeterred by my obvious lack of interest.That's right, it's just three months ago when I successfully landed a job at a prestigious hospital here in Norway. Thankfully, my qualifications exceeded their standards.My jaw tightened. Alone was exactly how I wanted to be. It was safer that way. Less complicated. Less painful. But this g

  • Chasing my Bestfriend × Lover   Chapter 86: Her Downfall

    DAMIEN'S POV The rage was a living thing inside me, twisting and burning. Sienna. The name tasted like ash in my mouth. I was going to make her pay. Every single manipulative, cruel act she’d committed would be laid bare for the world to see. The police… I’d initially considered going straight to them, laying out the evidence, but a cold calculation took hold. This wasn’t just about justice; it was about ensuring she couldn’t wiggle her way out with her lies and charm. I needed to be smarter. That’s when I called Attorney Brigham. Brigham was a shark, the kind of lawyer you hired when you wanted a guaranteed kill. His success rate was legendary, bordering on mythical. Securing him wasn’t cheap, but Sienna was worth every penny. I sat across from him in his plush, mahogany-lined office, the expensive leather of the chair molding to my form. The video evidence burned in my pocket like a brand. "I want her destroyed, Brigham. Legally, professionally, every way possible." Brigham, a
