LOGIN(Aliana's POV)"Yes, baby, fuck me harder, don’t stop," the woman whispered again.I froze, my fingers tightening around the door handle. My mind went completely blank as the sounds from inside hit me harder than I expected.Something twisted inside me, and my chest tightened.Seriously?So this was what he was doing? He was still in the middle of recovery after the severe accident that almost cost him his life, and he was already having sex in his hospital room?Was his self-control really that bad? Were his manners really that poor?Anger rose in me as I tried to suppress the part of myself that wanted to take this personally. It shouldn’t concern me if he chose to sleep with anyone... but not here, and not while he was still recovering. This could affect my job.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay professional and make it about work. But deep down, I knew it was more than that.I let out a quiet breath and slowly stepped back from the door. But just as I turned to leave, the
(Aliana's POV)"I was informed about the incident that happened four days ago, Dr. Hale," Mr. Maxwell said, his tone warm.He was the renowned founder and chairman of this hospital, and more than that, he was Fabian’s father.He didn’t usually come to the hospital, but today he had visited and requested to see me and Dr. Osbourne in his office."I hope you weren’t hurt in any way?" he added.I gave a small smile and shook my head gently."Not at all, sir. All thanks to Director Fabian, who saved me," I said, throwing a quick glance at Fabian, who stood by the side. His lips curved into a faint smile."I see," Mr. Maxwell murmured, glancing at Fabian as well. "So, has there been any progress in finding the culprit yet?""Actually, the security team is still working on it. There hasn’t been any solid lead," Fabian replied, his jaw tightening slightly, as if the lack of progress frustrated him."Really?" Mr. Maxwell said, his tone showing displeasure as he turned his attention back to me
(Delvin's POV)"The footage appears to have been tampered with… like someone deliberately deleted that part."A cold feeling settled in my chest.Deliberately?So this wasn’t an accident after all. Someone had planned it… and that person was probably still in this hospital."What do you mean someone tampered with the footage?" I said sharply, the words slipping out before anyone else could react.There was a sudden silence as everyone’s head snapped toward me.The security personnel blinked at me, clearly wondering who I was to interrupt their discussion. The Director furrowed his brows in confusion, and Aliana… her eyes widened in surprise when she saw me."Sorry, who are you..." one of the security men started to ask, but he didn’t finish before the Director cut in."Mr. Barrington, what brings you here?" he asked, taking a step toward me.But I didn’t look at him. My eyes were fixed on Aliana.As I looked at her, I felt both relieved and angry. Relieved that she was unharmed… and a
(Delvin's POV)I let out a soft sigh and forced my gaze away from the window as the door opened again. For a moment, I thought it was Belicia. She had run off earlier in tears.But it wasn’t her. It was one of the bodyguards stationed outside my door. I furrowed my brows as he approached. Did something happen? "Sir, I heard some disturbing news. Some nurses were whispering about it just now," he said, lowering his head."It’s about Madam Aliana," he added calmly.My heart skipped. What happened to Aliana?I had earlier instructed them to keep their ears open and report anything happening in the hospital to me, especially if it involved Aliana."What happened to her?" I asked quickly."I heard she was involved in an accident," he replied. "Someone deliberately pushed her down the stairs."My breath caught, and everything around me seemed to go silent for a moment."What?" I said, my voice coming out lower than I expected.Someone pushed her down the stairs? But she was just here a mom
(Aliana's POV) For a moment, it felt like my soul left my body. I almost hit the floor when someone rushed forward and caught me. I fell into him with a hard thud, and we both collapsed to the ground. I shut my eyes tightly, my heart racing as my whole body shook from fear. If I had hit the stairs with that kind of force, I could have broken my ribs or even suffered worse injuries. "Hey… are you okay?" Fabian asked, his voice full of worry as he quickly checked me for any injuries. "Did you get hurt?" he asked again, gently cupping my cheeks. "Fabian…" I whispered, tears already filling my eyes. I turned to look up the stairs, to where I had been pushed from. But no one was there. Whoever did it had already run away. "Someone…" I swallowed hard, my voice trembling. "Someone pushed me down the stairs." "What?" he muttered, quickly looking up. His eyes scanned the area, sharp and alert, but there was no one in sight. Then he looked back at me. "Are you sure about this?" I nodde
(Aliana's POV)"The next time you call me like this just because he asked you to, I will make sure you get sanctioned," I said to the nurse at the ward station."I’m sorry, Doctor," the nurse replied, lowering her head.She was the one who had called me earlier, saying Delvin was asking for me. She had even said it was urgent. And the way she sounded on the phone made me think it was an emergency.Knowing how important his recovery was, and since he had just been given a wheelchair today, I truly thought something had gone wrong.So I had excused myself from Fabian and rushed all the way here, only to find that Delvin was perfectly fine. There was no emergency at all. He had only called me for personal reasons.To make things worse, his lover, Belicia, had walked in at the worst possible moment. I didn’t care what they thought about me, but they had no right to drag me into whatever drama they were creating."Only call me when it’s an emergency. If it’s not, they should come to my off
(Aliana's POV)I shut my eyes nervously, hoping that when I opened them, everything would fall back into place. Hoping this was just one of those painful dreams I used to have.But when I finally opened them, I realized it wasn’t a dream. The man lying in front of me was indeed him… Delvin Barringt
(Aliana's POV)“Who said you could come here?” she added, her voice tight.I already knew who it was even before I saw her... Christine, Delvin’s mother. My chest tightened as I slowly turned to face her.But she wasn’t alone. She had come with Belicia, and two other men in black suits, probably bo
(Delvin's POV)“This is a huge step for the company. We should throw a party to celebrate this success,” one of my business partners said excitedly.I was in a meeting with the new business partners in this city. We were launching a new branch here, and they were pleased with how the business had g
(Delvin's POV) Belicia reached for the bag, but I instinctively pulled my hand back before she could touch it. "It's... uhm... it's for Aliana," I said softly. "It's her graduation gift." "Oh..." she muttered, her smile slowly fading and being replaced with disappointment. But she quickly recov
