Emilia

The pill bottle was still gone.

I checked the drawer one more time before leaving my room.

Nothing.

I closed it slowly.

Whoever had taken it hadn’t wanted anything else.

That was what bothered me most.

They hadn’t searched through my clothes. They hadn’t touched my bags. They hadn’t disturbed anything on my desk.

They had taken one thing.

The bottle.

Which meant whoever took it knew what they were looking for.

I slipped my phone into my pocket.

I wasn’t going to tell Leo.

Not yet.

  • MY BULLY, MY PATIENT    When He Couldn’t Hide

    EmiliaThe house was silent.It was well past midnight, and I had been lying awake for almost an hour, staring at the ceiling.I finally gave up on sleep and reached for the glass of water beside my bed.Then I heard it.A loud crash.I froze.It came from the hallway.I pushed my blankets aside and hurried out of my room.“Leo?”No answer.I took a few steps forward.Another sound followed.Something scraping against the wall.My heart jumped.I ran toward the sound.And stopped.Leo was leaning against the hallway wall.One hand gripped the edge of a console table.The other was pressed against his chest.His face was pale.Not the usual pale I’d seen after an exhausting therapy session.This was different.He looked sick.“Leo.”His head lifted.For a second, our eyes met.Then he tried to straighten.“I’m fine.”Of course.That was his favorite lie.“You don’t look fine.”“I said I’m fine.”He took one step.His knee buckled.I caught him before he hit the floor.“Easy.”“I’m okay

They hadn’t touched my bags. They hadn’t disturbed anything on my desk.They had taken one thing.The bottle.Which meant whoever took it knew what they were looking for.I slipped my phone into my pocket.I wasn’t going to tell Leo.Not yet.I needed evidence first.If I accused someone without proof, I would only make myself look paranoid.And I couldn’t afford another mistake.The medical room was empty when I entered.I closed the door behind me and walked toward the cabinet where Leo’s records were kept.I wasn’t looking for anything specific.Not yet.I simply wanted to understand his treatment history.I pulled out the latest file.His medication list was there.Painkillers.Anti inflammatory drugs.Supplements.Nothing immediately

  • MY BULLY, MY PATIENT    Things I Shouldn’t Be Feeling

    LeoI couldn’t sleep.Again.At this point, I was beginning to suspect that my body had developed a personal grudge against me.I shifted beneath the sheets and stared at the ceiling.My knee hurt.That was normal.What wasn’t normal was the fact that my mind kept replaying the same moment.Emilia slipping on the dock.My arms around her.Her body pressed against mine.The look in her eyes.I shut my eyes.“Stop.”It was ridiculous.She was my physiotherapist.The woman I’d spent years avoiding.The woman I’d spent the last few days deliberately trying to annoy into quitting.And now I couldn’t stop thinking about her.I turned onto my side.Maybe I was simply bored.Being stuck inside this house for months had made everything feel bigger than it was.Emilia was new.She challenged me.She didn’t treat me like some fragile celebrity.Of course I was paying attention to her.That was all.Nothing more.I convinced myself of that and got out of bed.I needed water.The hallway was dark

  • MY BULLY, MY PATIENT    The man behind the name

    EmiliaI couldn’t stop thinking about the pill bottle.It sat inside the bottom drawer of my bedside table, wrapped in a clean handkerchief.I had checked it three times that afternoon.Same bottle.Same handwritten dosage.Same scratched out label.And the same uncomfortable feeling in my stomach.Something was wrong.I just didn’t know what.I could have confronted Leo again, but I wasn’t ready to accuse him of anything. For all I knew, the medication had a perfectly reasonable explanation.Still, there was one thing I couldn’t ignore.It wasn’t listed in his medical records.That alone bothered me.I closed the drawer and stepped away.My mind needed a break.So I left my room.The estate was strangely quiet at night.During the day, there were always people moving through the halls, housekeepers, security, assistants, doctors.At night, everyone disappeared.I wandered downstairs and followed the faint light coming from the kitchen.I stopped at the doorway.Leo was there.Alone.

  • MY BULLY, MY PATIENT    My childhood crush

    EmiliaBy the fourth morning, I had learned that Leo Vance had an impressive talent for making a simple rehabilitation session feel like a personal war.He hated stretching.He hated resistance bands.He hated the stationary bike.Most of all, he hated me telling him that he couldn’t do something.Unfortunately for him, that happened often.“Ten more,” I said.Leo stared at me from across the rehabilitation room.“Absolutely not.”“Nine.”“You weren’t listening.”“Eight.”“I’m serious.”“Seven.”He glared.I smiled.“Six.”“Do you enjoy this?”“Very much.”“You’re enjoying torturing an injured man?”“I’m enjoying watching a professional athlete discover that his muscles aren’t in charge anymore.”He muttered something under his breath.“What was that?”“Nothing.”“Good. Six more.”He groaned and continued the exercise.I tried not to smile.The truth was, I was beginning to understand him.Leo didn’t actually hate rehabilitation.He hated feeling weak.He hated needing someone.And he

  • MY BULLY, MY PATIENT    Get Out While You Still Can

    LeoPain had become my new alarm clock.Not the sharp, unbearable kind.The worse kind.The dull ache that settled deep inside my knee the moment I tried to move, reminding me that my body wasn’t mine anymore.I stared at the ceiling, willing the pain to disappear.It didn’t.“Damn it.”I swung my legs over the side of the bed, ignoring the protest from my injured knee.Three months.Three months since that hit during the conference finals.Three months since every sports analyst in the country started asking the same question.Would Leo Vance ever play hockey again?No one knew the truth.Not my teammates.Not my fans.Not even the media camped outside the estate every other day.Officially, I was recovering from a minor injury.Unofficially…One wrong move could end my career forever.I limped toward the window and looked across the lake.Morning fog rolled over the water, peaceful enough to make anyone forget the pressure waiting outside these gates.I couldn’t.Not for a second.M
