“What the hell?!” Brielle’s voice rang out as she yanked her arm away and spun around sharply. Her heart hammered in her chest, her eyes narrowed, ready to push the life out of whoever thought it was a good idea to drag her into a dark storage room unannounced.

But instead of the confrontation she expected, her gaze fell on a petite brunette, barely taller than her shoulder.

She blinked. “Bella?”

She was a newly hired nurse who resumed work a day before her and also shared the same office with her and the others. She had never spoken to her so, she found this situation strange.

Bella raised both hands in surrender, already looking apologetic. “I’m sorry! I’m really sorry, Dr. Brielle. I just—I knew I wouldn’t get another chance to speak to you alone.”

Brielle frowned, still trying to get her breathing back to normal. “Why would you even need to? What is this about?”

Bella tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her voice dropping into something softer. “I was in the office… earlier. W

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife    Chapter 52

    Brielle stepped out of the sleek black car, her palms sweating as she looked up at the towering gates of the Rayne mansion. It wasn't her first time there, and yet… something about it made her feel impossibly fuzzy.The butler held the door open for her as she walked into the grand marble foyer, and immediately, Vivian appeared at the top of the staircase, smiling like the proudest mother in the world."There she is," Vivian said, welcoming her with open hands as she came down the stairs gracefully. "My darling girl."Brielle managed a soft smile as Vivian pulled her into a warm hug."I hope you weren't too stressed, sweetheart. I just wanted you to be able to get ready here so we can all leave for the party together," Vivian said, brushing dust off Brielle's shoulder with motherly affection. "The makeup team should be here by 2 PM, and we'll leave at five. Everything's been arranged perfectly for today.""Of course," Brielle murmured, forcing the tension from her throat.But the guil

    Two days later, Brielle rose from sleep, her eyes still heavy from exhaustion. She reached for her phone on the nightstand, squinting at how bright her phone screen was. Several notifications bounced off her, but it was the text from the hospital that caught her attention first.[Dr. Brielle Sanders, today has been scheduled as a special day off in celebration of your recent promotion. Please enjoy your rest and we'll see you on Monday."]Her stomach twisted with guilt. She sat up slowly, dragging the duvet to cover herself some more. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her this was all Vivian's doing. Who else had the power to cancel a whole workday for a junior doctor? The chairman's wife had pulled a string and she was going to experience the consequence.With a sigh, Brielle tapped on Dr. Laura's contact and brought the phone to her ear."Good morning, Brielle," Dr. Laura answered cheerfully."Good morning, Dr Laura," Brielle said quickly, already feeling weird. "I just saw the m

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 50

    “I’ve heard quite a lot about you, Professor James.” Ethan’s voice was smooth but had an edge of superiority as he stepped into the office, his custom-tailored suit, his expression unreadable. Professor James stood behind his desk, arms folded casually. His gaze flickered toward Dr. Graham, then to Brielle who didn’t say a word since they walked in. Before finally resting his eyes on Ethan. “I’m sure you have,” he replied calmly. “Mr. Rayne.” Ethan smirked and offered his hand. “Ethan, please. Mr. Rayne makes me sound old like my father.” The handshake was brief but strong. Neither man blinked. Dr. Graham, always diplomatic, laughed awkwardly. “Professor James has been one of the best around here. One of the best additions to the hospital in recent years.” “I can imagine,” Ethan replied, his gaze landing just a second too long on Brielle before turning back to the professor. “Are you married, Professor?” James raised an eyebrow. “No.” Ethan gave a small, slow nod. “Figured.”

    Brielle stepped into the hospital’s front lobby with a calm look on her face, adjusting the strap of her bag over her shoulder. A new day, she told herself, offering a faint smile to one of the nurses who passed by. No drama today, only work.As she entered the office, the familiar soft sound of morning greetings and rustling folders filled her ears. Bella was already there, seated at her desk with her usual warm expression. She looked up and smiled brightly the moment she saw Brielle walk in.“Morning!” Bella greeted cheerfully.“Morning, Bella,” Brielle replied, setting her bag down beside her desk. “You’re early.”“Not really. Just trying to keep up with the star of the office,” Bella teased lightly.Brielle chuckled. “You know I’m far from that.”They exchanged a few more words with each other before the door pushed open and the rest of the team filed in. Hannah was the first through the door, her heels clicking across the floor as she made a beeline for Brielle. Her face was lit

    Ethan was visibly tensed, the muscle in his jaw ticking as Anita’s words danced in the air like smoke he couldn’t escape or avoid if he wanted to.She didn’t miss the reaction on his face. Of course she didn’t. She had always been far too observant for his liking, especially when it came to matters that concerned him. And now, with that look of smug confirmation curling on her lips, Ethan regretted not hiding it better.“Relax,” Anita said, her voice soft and scheming. “You don’t have to explain anything to me. I’m your sister, Ethan. I know how hard it is to get over someone you once loved that much.”His stare sharpened, but he didn’t say anything to her.She sat up a little straighter on the couch and offered him a smile that was meant to be reassuring. “If keeping Jessica around helps you...then I get it. I really do.”Ethan dropped his phone onto the armrest and leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees. “Don’t make assumptions.”Anita tilted her head. “I’m not assuming anythin
