Natasha’s POV.

The news had barely settled in my mind when reality came knocking again.

I should have been overjoyed—and I was. That hospital meant everything to me. It had been my dream since I was a teenager, flipping through textbooks and imagining myself walking those halls in scrubs, helping real patients. But the moment Sylvester told me they had accepted me, my chest tightened in a way that didn’t feel like joy.

I smiled, said thank you, and held the excitement in. Later that night, when the house was quiet and he was reading by the lamp in the corner of the living room, I sat beside him on the edge of the couch and finally said it.

“I don’t think I can take the internship.”

He looked up slowly, like he hadn’t expected me to say that. His expression didn’t shift much, but I saw the confusion in his eyes.

“Why not?” he asked simply.

I looked down at my hands, picking at my fingers like I always did when my thoughts got loud.

“Because it feels like I didn’t earn it. It feels lik

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 48.

    Natasha’s POV.Sylvester and I hadn’t spoken much since that quiet car ride. The silence between us had changed from tension to something softer—uncertain, but not hostile. Still, every time our eyes met, I felt something catch in my chest. I couldn’t name it, but it made it hard to breathe.The night, he knocked gently on my door. I was already dressed, combing through my hair slowly by the vanity. When I told him to come in, he did—cautiously, like he wasn’t sure if he was welcome.He stood by the door for a while, rubbing the back of his neck. “I wanted to say I’m sorry,” he began, not meeting my eyes. “For touching you that night. You were drunk, and I should’ve stopped it before it got that far. That’s on me.”I froze, brushing halfway through a strand. I had been thinking about that night since it happened—how his hands felt on my skin, how his kiss had made me forget everything else. It wasn’t regret I felt, not even close. But I hadn’t said a word that night, and I could under

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 47.

    Natasha’s POV.The hospital was unusually busy that morning, a blur of footsteps, clipped voices, and the faint smell of antiseptic following me through the halls. I tried to focus on the routine. It was easier to let muscle memory carry me than to think too much about everything going on in my head.I walked into the training room and joined the others for our session on suturing techniques. Everyone was already suited up and practicing on synthetic pads. I slipped on my gloves and got to work, silently thankful for something to keep my hands—and my thoughts—occupied.Amara stood beside me, her arms crossed. I could feel her eyes on my hands before she even said a word.“You’re holding the needle like it’s a pen,” she said loud enough for everyone to hear, smirking. “That’s cute. Rookie work.”I ignored her at first, trying not to react, but the knot forming in my chest was hard to ignore.I looked at my sutures. They were clean. Neat. Even. Not perfect, but certainly not a rookie.

    Natasha’s POV.The pounding in my head was the first thing I noticed when I woke up. A dull ache that throbbed behind my eyes, making me wince as I sat up slowly. The curtains were only slightly parted, but even the soft morning light made me want to crawl back under the sheets.My mouth was dry, and my body felt heavy. It took me a few seconds to realize I was still in last night’s clothes. As I pushed the blanket off and swung my legs down, pieces of the night came back in slow, hazy waves. Dinner… too much wine… Sylvester helping me upstairs.I dragged myself to the bathroom, turned on the water, and let it run while I leaned against the sink. I caught a glimpse of my reflection and paused.There it was. A small, purplish mark just above my collarbone. Then another, closer to my neck.My breath caught in my throat.My fingers moved instinctively to touch the spot, and like a jolt, everything came rushing back.The way I had kissed him. The way he had kissed me back. The feel of his

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 45.

    Sylvester’s POV.Her legs wrapped around my waist with a kind of urgency I hadn’t expected. I could feel the heat from her body, and it made my thoughts stumble. Natasha wasn’t just flirting anymore—she was pulling me in, asking without words and daring me to do something I wasn’t sure I should.The room was warm, her breath even warmer against my neck. Her fingers clutched at the back of my shirt, and her body pressed up against mine with reckless abandon. It was the alcohol—I knew that. And still, it was hard to ignore the part of me that wanted to give in.Her voice came out low, unsteady. “You don’t have to hold back, you know. I want you.”I swallowed, hard.“No,” I said, not even recognizing my own voice. “You’re drunk.”She looked up at me with hazy eyes, but there was a quiet clarity in her tone when she whispered, “I missed you.”“I want you to look at me like I mean everything to you. I know we didn't start off on a good note but I have come to love you helplessly and I wis

    Sylvester’s POV.I hadn’t planned for things to be awkward between us, but from the moment she walked into the dining room, I could tell something felt off. Natasha smiled when she saw me, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. Her movements were careful, her voice a little too polite, like she was holding back.I came home earlier than expected. I wanted to see her. That kiss before I left had stayed with me more than I cared to admit, and even though I didn’t fully know where we stood, I had hoped we could talk, maybe start figuring it out.“Let's eat dinner together,” I said, breaking the silence and she nodded.“I will have that fixed right away. Let me get changed,” she replied, turning to head upstairs immediately but I grabbed her hand, stopping her from leaving.“You just got back from work. You need to relax, let the maids handle that,” I said, still holding onto her.“Okay,” she murmured. Her eyes looked down on my arm that was holding hers.Then I let go of her hand, an awkwar

    Natasha’s POV.The hospital was quieter than usual, the kind of quietness that settled only during the early afternoon hours. Most of the patients were either asleep or occupied with visitors, and the corridors had a rare hush to them. I stood at the sink in the supply room, rinsing surgical tools with care.This was supposed to be a shared task—Amara and I had been assigned to handle it together. But she had vanished, conveniently, after our rounds. Not that I expected anything different.I had grown used to the way she slipped away whenever it suited her, leaving behind just enough work to make me look overwhelmed. Then later when it was done, she would come claiming she was the one who did the job or directed me on how to, taking all the credit and every time it turned out to work for her. I guessed it was because it was her family’s hospital. I didn’t mind her not being around to join me in what was assigned to both of us. I loved the peace that came with not having her around a
