Elaine's POV

Without him, my life wouldn't have been such a breeze. Even last night, he managed everything by himself. Did not let me work on anything, meaning—he did the dishes after our candlelight dinner, too.

It was, however, strange waking up in his bed. Because he wasn't beside me. That was when the sweet smell of maple syrup poured on warm pancakes greeted me in the morning.

"Ouf...you didn't have to..." My nose scrunched, eyebrows knit together, yet I reached for the plate.

"As much as I don't like being taken care of like a baby...I'm still hungry." I grabbed our trays and set them down gently on the bed. Rayleigh laughed and took his apron off.

I couldn't help but whistle like a bird of paradise.

"Damn, Rayleigh."

"Don't act like you haven't got enough of me last night, baby girl. I remember every touch of yours on my skin. And the way you were moaning under me...Mhmm ~" He moaned, however I couldn't tell if it was his scrumptious bite of breakfast or if he was imitat

  • Mommy, Daddy Doesn't Want Us Back?   Culprit Caught

    CCTVs disabled. Footage deleted.Entries and exits are banned. Yet, this culprit still ran loose in the premises like a goddamn lion! All I had was myself and my wolf. One sniff of the air around this criminal, and we knew it was HIM! "Stop right there, mister. We don't wanna make this difficult." I said. His dreaded voice replied. "W-why are you following me?" "Why are you still running away?" Let's admit one thing—this guy wasn't the smartest cookie. "That's it." Shifting into my wolf, I gave the guy the scare of his life! At that very moment, the lights flickered and the hallways went dark! All he saw were my glowing red eyes. I could smell his terror. Ah...The rare scent of a scared man. One growl, and the files in his hands dropped. But before that happened? Someone walked in. And HE was the reason all lights went off, before generators kicked in. "Healer Elaine..." his deep voice rang through like a siren. My eyes widened. 'Shit!' I said to myself in my head. It w

  • Mommy, Daddy Doesn't Want Us Back?   Forger

    [27 hours since hospital lockdown...]Dr Alex Langford has been helpful so far. All new patient admits have been directed to nearby hospitals. Nurses, doctors, and even janitors couldn't step outside. Meanwhile, security questioned every single hospital crew and anyone in sight, including me. I saw it was my turn after Dr Rayleigh. The storeroom was converted into a makeshift questioning room. Hundreds of interrogations already carried out. So I was being nice when I walked in with a cup of cold coffee. His eyebrow raised,"You're trying to impress me, Ms Elaine?" I didn't like his expression. But what could I say when it was the director and the Phoenix himself? Dr Luthor Langford sat across from me, eyebrow stretched and expression suggesting...suspicion on me. "Just trying to look decent, doctor," I said, sitting down with my own cup of iced latte. "So. Would you like to tell me where you were at 8:45 am yesterday, Healer Elaine?" "I was at the Coming Of Age program held at Ja

  • Mommy, Daddy Doesn't Want Us Back?   Forgery

    "Until I find the one who forged my signature... no one is allowed to step in or out of this hospital." The verdict has been given. A man, clad in a police uniform, stepped in, hand on his gun belt. "And on whose authority is this protocol exercised?" His condescending voice questioned Dr Rayleigh. Clearly, the security wasn't happy about it. "On mine." A new voice answered—a male. Our heads turned to him. It was the dean of medicine—Dr. Alex Langford. The hallway, full of people, moved out of their way in respect to the old soul. A Phoenix. His power was extraordinary. As he walked, it felt as though fire engulfed the path. It felt so...warm. Even I, unfamiliar with his presence, felt like bowing to him. His dark complexion made him stand out, too like a leader. "Why aren't we moving?" His polite voice asked the security. Seriousness replaced the pissed look on his face. Grabbing the collar telecom, he instructed,"Shut down all exits. It's gonna be a while." And then, Dr Al

  • Mommy, Daddy Doesn't Want Us Back?   Coming Of New Age Program

    [Time - 8:49 am]The seats were cushioned just like corruption. My ass hurt. They didn't even give us water bottles. Imagine waiting for 2 hours because the CEO of Fenris&Co decided to attend a 'surgery'. A life-saving one, indeed. When he came up on stage, his tousled hair and an almost buttoned-down shirt with creases were photographed. Excessively. In a way, the flashes could blind any ordinary man up there. But he was Jacob Fenris. The man was used to it all.I kept staring at a few things in particular. The shade of pink and red smeared across his lips was barely noticeable. When he walked in, he carried a whiff of air smelling like 'cheese' with him. Needless to mention—he just made his secretary smile ear to ear, holding the clipboard. I could see her behind the curtains from where I was seated. Pathetic. "Today..." he announced loudly, breathing sharply with that annoying old man's snot inhale sound, "We will be a witness to one of the best, most powerful chemical miracles.

  • Mommy, Daddy Doesn't Want Us Back?   Corrupts

    Elaine's POV I've been in my room for Goddess knows how long. Jean's health was declining. My ego, pride, and revenge were on the line. Which one weighed more?My son's life or my ego? What kind of a mother was I? Having that question pop into my mind was foolish in itself. "I'm such a loser..." I said to myself. A loser mother who can't even decide what to do. Just then, I got a call from Dr. Rayleigh. "Hello..." My voice was hoarse. I'd been crying. Again. I was also breaking my promise to Jean by crying and accepting my weakness. "I'm outside your room, Elaine. I've been knocking." He said calmly. "O-oh..." I scrambled to my feet, wiping tears away and patting my cheeks. Shouldn't look like I've been crying. "Sorry, it's just...I've been scrolling on the phone, haha." I lied, dangling the phone between us. I invited him in. "I heard what Dr. Taylor suggested. You should listen to her, but the decision is yours. I understand you." His kind words carried me away. Just last
