Falling for the Doctor 43. Colors
For three hours, she has been sitting before a new canvas, avidly crafting a new painting. She had opened her Outlook while having breakfast and she was surprised at the number of emails that had flooded her inbox. All from various collectors around the world, most of them acknowledging the work she did on the Icarus painting. Rodriguo Gonzalez sure did a fine publicity for her. She had to call him and thank him for that. Eight new commissioned paintings. Damn. It would take her months to complete all of them. She would even gain more recognition. She felt hopeful again. She worked out the colors carefully, mixing them, finding the right combinations. She began applying them, putting pressure where she should. Her hand was steady as she traced the forms that she conjured in her mind, translating the images on the canvas. Cassandra’s work seemed so…stressful as compared to hers…but she was certain that they both feared failure. She feared that the end product didn’t meet her clients
Falling for the Doctor 44. Strong. Independent. Successful.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Jason was absently sizzling some meat on the grill when he heard some commotions happening outside. He saw one of the assistants peeping through the kitchen door into the dining hall and he asked, “Psst, Mitch. What’s up, man?” “Just some cops speaking with the manager, bro.” He froze, fear seizing him. They couldn’t be here for him, right? He wiped his arm over his forehead, feeling the sweat. The top chef angrily cursed in Italian before yelling at him, “Woah. Eyes on the meat, figlio!” He gazed at it, turning it over, feeling suffocated through the steam that hovered up. His friend, Mitch then casually said, “Yo they’re coming here. Anyone got drugs on em or what?” Jason reacted instantly, shoving his apron off as he banged against the chef, feeling his hands into the man’s pocket, taking out his keys, “Gotta borrow your bike, chef.” He ran towards the backdoor, ignoring the curses, hearing the cops busting through the kitchen door. He climbed on the Ducatti, s
Falling for the Doctor 45. Risky Footage
She stared at the video, “That’s… the exam room? But— Move.” He instantly stood, letting her sit and she went pale, realizing it was a recording of her appointment with Selena. She skipped through it, sweating when she saw that it showed all the things that she did to her at that time. Her fingers trembled as she asked, pausing the video, “Who sent this?” He stammered, “I… I don’t know. And scroll up the mail.”Cassandra did, reading what was written: They say you’re a respectable doctor but would a real Ob-Gyn do something as disgusting as sexually abuse a young woman? You took everything from me and I intend to do the same to you. You have to pay for your sins. The world will soon know what kind of a sick person you really are. This is my promise to you. She closed the mail, her lips shaking, ordering, “Don’t speak about this to anyone, Charles.” He chewed on his bottom lips, “But this person is threatening you. You… you could lose your license if he or she posts it.” “I know…—
Falling for the Doctor 46. Sibling Rivalry
When Cassandra saw the luxurious black Rolls Royce car waiting just outside her house, she knew immediately that something was wrong. Selena was alright, right? Interestingly, she noted that the vehicle had its own chauffeur. She drove in her garage, pulled over her car, switching the engine off, her heart racing as she remembered Megan warning her to leave today itself. She stepped out, waiting for the two black sedans to park across the street, opposite her villa. The bodyguards found four cameras in the clinic and one in her car. That wasn’t reassuring at all. She had to make them search her house as well. She felt as if she had been spied on all this time. Barely did his car stop that Siegfried crossed the road, hassling to her. He slid his hand beneath his coat, taking out a glock 26, attaching a silencer to it, “I’ll check in with my men first.” Cassandra shook her head, diving her hands in her pockets, “No. It shouldn’t be anything I can’t handle.” He hesitantly said, gla

“If you’re talking about the stabbing incident, I perfectly know.” Veronica widened her eyes, realization dawning on her. This could be bad. She furiously gazed at Selena, walking to her, grabbing her shoulders, “You told her?! What is wrong with you?” She trembled, feeling confused and lost, “No, I… I didn’t.” She felt suffocated in this room. She nervously looked at the doctor, fearing what she had in mind. Those eyes… it was clear that she was disappointed in her. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t utter a single word in her defense. Veronica clenched her glass, slamming it on the counter, feeling cornered, “How do you know that? My father made sure no one got word of this.”Cassandra shrugged, “Mayer has very reliable sources and I’ve got contacts in the NYPD.” She taunted the lawyer, “What would the world say if this comes to light, mmh?” The lawyer indignantly looked away, frustration flaring over her face. She couldn’t beat that. Or maybe she could. She just had
Falling for the Doctor 48. Broken-Hearted
Megan stopped her jeep, turned off the light and watched Jason from afar. She wondered what that asshole was up to. He was standing in the darkness of an alley, in front of a small garage, waiting for something. When the street cameras located him near that mechanic’s garage, she hastily drove there and since then, she had been discreetly watching him. She would have arrested him right there had it not been for the orders of her superior. The chief commissioner made it clear to her that he would sack her if she took things in her own hands tonight. She pouted, thinking about this. Apparently, a freelance reporter called up the office an hour ago and said that he intercepted a call between a dangerous drug ring leader and Jason Wagner. Why couldn’t everything be simple?God, she was tired. She reached for her beer, took a good sip and pressed a speed dial to call up Cassandra. Her friend answered within a few rings and she asked, checking in on her, “How’s the luxury?” There was a sl
Falling for the Doctor 49. The Ambush
Selena ignored her, barging out of the house into the curtain of rain, crossing the small path till she stepped onto the road. She ignored her call, running hard along the pavement, wanting to get away from her, get away from it all. She could barely see where she was going as the tears and raindrops hindered her view, the wind blowing harshly against her face. She didn’t want to face her anymore, didn’t want her help or her pity. She felt humiliated and enough was enough. The fog was so thick, her visibility was almost nil but she kept running, until she slipped and fell down, scraping her knee. She didn’t have the strength to go on as she sat right there and cried amidst her breathlessness. It hurt so much. Why couldn’t she ever receive the unconditional love of someone? Her parents. Her siblings. Jason and now Cassandra. They were all the same. Maybe the problem was with herself. Not with them.Siegfried hassled in the living room as he heard the ruckus. He saw Cassandra crossin
Falling for the Doctor 50. Not-So-Friendly
Selena’s heart refused to calm down. She kept thinking about the way the doctor did not hesitate to protect her from those brutes. Always putting her safety first. Always watching out for her. What if Megan never came in time? The thought sent a shrill up her spine, recalling those monsters firing these loud shots. It still rang in her ears. Right now, after half an hour of road trip, they have stopped in the parking lot of a hotel. She was still cooed up in the warmth of the jeep while the doctor and the lieutenant were speaking outside in the rain.Megan had kept reprimanding her all the way and Cassandra had kept silent until then but now, she could hear their raised voices though she understood only fragments of what they were speaking due to the noise of the rain.Megan examined the body of her car, frowning at the bullet impacts, taking into account the damage done. She caressed it with her hand, almost pained, “What you did was fucking stupid. You knew better than to lie to m
