Lilian stepped out of the restroom, smoothing her blazer and forcing her expression back into calm, unshakable professionalism.

And froze.

Ethan stood at the entrance.

Waiting.

Silent. Still.

Like a wall she couldn’t walk around—only crash into.

Her heartbeat slammed violently against her ribs.

For one brief, reckless second, memories threatened to surface. Then she turned sharply, heels clicking as she moved to walk away—

But his hand shot out, gripping her wrist and yanking her back.

“Don’t,” he said lowly.

The single word landed like a command.

She stopped.

But she didn’t look at him.

Ethan stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. He planted one hand against the wall beside her head, caging her between his body and the cold marble surface. The faint scent of his cologne—too familiar—cut through her defenses.

“You’re really Lilian,” he said, his voice rough, almost disbelieving. “You hid it well. You disappeared like you never existed.”

Slowly, she lifted her eyes to his.

Cold. Sh

    ⭐ THE DOCTOR’S GAMEThe morning sun hadn’t fully touched the city skyline, but Alexandra’s sleek black car already gleamed under the early light as he stepped out in front of his office.The media pounced instantly, cameras flashing, microphones thrust forward.“Sir! About yesterday… was that real?”“Do you have any record of this woman?”“Why are you suddenly interested in the new doctor?”Alexandra’s lips curved into a small, confident smile. The kind of smile that said he had already won before the game had even started.“She’s special,” he said simply, his voice calm and unbothered.Then, without another word, he turned and walked into the building, leaving the reporters stunned, murmuring, and scribbling notes frantically.Meanwhile, Lilian arrived at the hospital, her mind a tangled mess of thoughts—her children, the banquet, Alexandra’s audacious move, and Ethan’s silent threat still echoing in the back of her mind.Heads turned the moment she stepped inside. Nurses whispered.

    Lilian sat stiffly in the passenger seat as Alexandra drove, her mind still reeling from the chaos at the banquet. The city lights streaked past the window, but she barely noticed, her thoughts trapped in the echo of flashing cameras and Ethan’s clenched fists.The silence stretched, heavy and electric, until she finally spoke.“You didn’t have to lie like that,” she said quietly, her voice almost a whisper.Alexandra glanced at her, an amused tilt to his lips.“Lie?”“You told the reporters I was your fiancée,” she said sharply, her hands tightening in her lap.He laughed softly, one hand casually gripping the wheel, the other draped over the gear shift with ease.“I wasn’t lying, Mrs. Brook.”She turned sharply to him. “What?”“You’re married,” he continued, calm as a summer breeze, “but you’re separated. Not fully divorced. So…” His smile curved sideways, almost teasing. “I decided to take my chances.”Lilian blinked, completely disoriented.He laughed again, a sound that somehow m

    The banquet hall glowed like a dream.Crystal chandeliers shimmered above silk-draped tables. Soft music floated through the air. Cameras flashed endlessly as the city’s elite gathered to celebrate the miracle doctor.Lilian stood at the center of it all.Dressed in an elegant midnight-blue gown, her hair pinned neatly back, she looked calm.But inside—She was unraveling.Every smile felt forced. Every compliment felt like a countdown.This banquet wasn’t an honor.It was an execution stage.She lifted her glass politely as doctors toasted her brilliance.“To Doctor Lilian Brook!” “A hero!” “A future legend!”Applause thundered.Her fingers tightened around the glass.I shouldn’t be here. I should be gone.Then—The temperature in the room shifted.Not physically.Emotionally.The chatter softened. Heads turned. Whispers rippled.Someone important had arrived.Lilian felt it before she saw him.Her spine stiffened.Her breath caught.Her heart screamed—No.Slowly… she turned.And th

    The moment Lilian stepped back into the hospital, she felt it.Eyes.Whispers.Paused footsteps.Every nurse she passed leaned closer to another. Doctors stopped mid-conversation. Phones were raised discreetly. Screens flashed with her face.She had become news.TV screens mounted on the walls replayed the same headline over and over:“MYSTERY INTERN SAVES LAWSON PATRIARCH — A MIRACLE IN MODERN MEDICINE.”Her chest tightened.This wasn’t victory.This was a cage.“Doctor Brook,” a nurse called politely, yet excited. “You’ve been requested at the conference hall.”Her heart sank.She followed the long corridor, every step heavier than the last. The doors to the conference hall opened——and applause erupted.Lilian froze.All the head doctors were seated. Senior surgeons. Executives. Administrators. Faces filled with admiration and curiosity.“Doctor Lilian Brook,” the head doctor announced proudly, “please come forward.”She walked in slowly, her pulse racing.“Congratulations!”“You w

    Lilian ran.Her footsteps echoed loudly against the sterile hospital floors, each sound striking her nerves like a warning bell. Every corridor she turned into felt wrong. Every shadow looked alive.Men in black suits appeared at every turn.Ethan’s men.Checking rooms. Blocking exits. Speaking into earpieces.Her chest tightened.He’s locked the hospital.Her lungs burned as she slipped through a side corridor meant only for staff. Her vision blurred from exhaustion, sweat soaking into her collar. She had stood for hours in the operating room, fought death with shaking hands, and now her body was finally demanding rest.But rest was a luxury she didn’t have.If Ethan caught her now, there would be no explanations. No mercy.She spotted a narrow sign ahead:— UNDERGROUND PARKING —Hope flared briefly.She turned sharply and descended the ramp, her legs trembling with every step. The smell of oil and metal filled the air. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears.Just get out. Just disappea
