Feel-Good Story

Plot Twists

I was a top-tier heart surgeon. The kind they gave a government-issued black SUV with diplomatic plates—armored, red-light-skipping, cleared-for-anything kind of ride. I parked it at my fiancé Marco Varonetti's place so he could keep it in shape. Bad call. One day, I got an emergency call: heart transplant for the Chancellor—yeah, that Chancellor, the one with state secrets ticking inside him. I rushed over to Marco's to grab the car. Right as I was about to leave, some rando slid into the back seat like she owned it. "Mall first. I need a mani," she barked. "Then get the ice cream Marco ordered. If it melts, I'll kill you." Excuse me? "This is my car," I said, trying to stay chill. "I've got a critical airport run. You need to get out." She rolled her eyes. "You're just the driver. Open those eyes and check the plate." Then the maid chimed in. "Everyone knows Mr. Varonetti takes Ms. Caro out in this car. Nobody says a word." I froze. Marco used my federally issued SUV... to chauffeur her? This wasn't just messy. This was criminal.

Chapter 1
Misusing a Federal Council vehicle?Three years minimum.Taking some random girl for a joyride behind my back? Bonus charges.If the Varonettis had half a brain, they'd have Marco grovel, and maybe—maybe—the Council would let it slide for the sake of our engagement.But then I looked at her.Ms. Caro. Arrogant. Entitled. And completely unsalvageable.She wouldn't budge from the back seat, and honestly, I wasn't in the mood to babysit. I turned away and started the engine. Lives came first. Marco could explain himself later.I gripped the wheel and pulled out."What the hell is wrong with you?!"She lunged forward, shrieking, clawing at the steering wheel. "You don't get to drive without MY permission!"The car jerked. We swerved hard, headed straight for a wall.I yanked the wheel and slammed the brakes.We plowed into a flowerbed. Engine dead."Are you insane?!" I yelled, heart pounding."Don't touch what's not yours," she sneered. "Do it again and I'll cut your hand off

Chapter 2
He was being impossible."You better think this through," I said, biting down my rage. "If you waste my time, Grandpa Donato's heart won't make it."I was supposed to operate on Marco's grandfather tonight.But if I couldn't save Chancellor Ravel in time, Donato would be stuck waiting—every minute more dangerous than the last."Enough!" Marco snapped. "Don't think I don't know you've been lying!"I looked into it. That first heart procedure on Grandpa? Minor. Any doctor could've done it. You just tricked him into thinking you were special so you could marry in."He grit his teeth. "Well, congrats. I'm not ending the engagement, but you're never touching him again."My chest tightened."No—this surgery REALLY can only be done by—""Still acting, huh?" He sounded bored. "Sophia found a foreign heart expert. Surgery's been moved up. You're off the case."Moved up?And no one bothered to tell me—the lead surgeon?If I wasn't stuck on this mission, I'd be sprinting back to the h

Chapter 3
Pain seared through me. I couldn't move.Sophia aimed her stiletto heel at my eye. One press and it'd pop like a grape.Marco's guards loomed nearby, gripping bats like they couldn't wait for a reason.I didn't stand a chance."S-Sorry, Ms. Caro..." I gasped, desperate. "Please... I have a patient waiting. I'm begging you. Let me go."For a second, she actually looked surprised.Then she yanked my hair and slammed my head into the floor."Lying to me when you're about to die?!" she shrieked. "You think playing doctor's some kind of game? You're not even a real driver—and even if you WERE a doctor, I could still kill you just like that!"I tried to cover my head.She stomped on my fingers.I screamed, shaking, whispering, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."As a surgeon, my hands were everything. One wrong break, and I'd never hold a scalpel again."Scared now?" Sophia sneered. "Too late."She pointed at my car. "Didn't you wanna drive? Let's make it fun."With a flick of her hand

"Marco!" Sophia squealed, running toward the car.I barely lifted my eyelids. I needed answers.But it wasn't Marco. It was Adrian—his secretary.Sophia's smile dropped. She pouted. "Ugh, YOU? I'm in a mood today. Didn't even get my nails done. He sends you to brush me off? No way. I want HIM here.""Mr. Varonetti's with his grandfather for the surgery," Adrian said.She crossed her arms. "So? I hired some foreign expert—it'll be fine! And he still won't come comfort me?"Adrian frowned. Then his eyes met mine—and he froze.He rushed over, dropping to his knees beside me, eyes locked on the blood and torn skin."Mr. Varonetti said to take her to the hospital right away."He reached for the ropes.Barely hanging on, all I felt was bitter irony.He must've realized the surgery went south—and now he wanted me back.That operation was high-risk. No one but me could've pulled it off."Her?"Sophia stared at me like she'd seen a ghost, jealousy warping her face."So THAT'S why

"What the hell did you send? Delete it now!" Sophia's shrill voice stabbed through the ringing in my ears.I couldn't stay upright. Blood loss hit me like a wave. Everything went dark as I collapsed.I had no idea how much time passed.When I finally cracked my eyes open, pain hit instantly. I tried to breathe—coughed up blood.Then a voice cut through the fog."Where's Elena?"The blur in front of me sharpened.Marco.His brows furrowed, jaw tight, like he came looking for a fight."You're asking about HER first?" Sophia whined, latching onto his arm. "If you care that much, go live with her! I'll leave and never look back.""Don't be ridiculous," Marco said, voice soft, all sugar and indulgence.Sophia lit up, dragging him toward me like she'd just won.But the second he saw my face—he froze. Eyes wide. Breath caught. Chest rising fast.Still, he didn't say a word. Didn't stop her. Didn't defend me."She was awful to me today!" Sophia whined, fake tears and all. "Scared

Chapter 6
Donato wasn't just the family elder—he was the Varonetti name.Without him? That empire was toast.Before he died, Donato did everything to lock me in as Marco's wife. Thought I'd give their crumbling image a little shine.Too bad Marco and Sophia wrecked all that."Don't talk nonsense!" Marco snapped, teeth clenched. "Didn't we hire a specialist? How could he die right as surgery started? Start resuscitation—I'll drag Elena back myself!""You've been conned!" the voice snapped. "That guy isn't a specialist—he sliced right through your grandpa's aorta the second he opened him up. No chance to save him."I checked—his credentials are fake. No license. Total fraud. Where the hell did you even find him?"Marco froze like the life had been yanked out of him.Then hit the floor, hard.Sophia, clearly annoyed Marco was still hung up on me, shot me a death glare before strutting over, hips swinging.She clung to him like she was marking territory."My nails are all chipped~" she wh

"Take me to the hospital..." I gritted out. "This is your last shot at redemption..."The second the Chief Councilor saw my message, I knew backup was coming.If I died, heads would roll."Still pretending?" Sophia laughed. "You seriously think someone's coming to save you? Newsflash—only the Varonettis run this place!""Who's making all that noise?"The voice sliced through the room.Sophia, mid-gloat, froze like someone hit pause.She went all quiet and docile.Then the woman walked in—and it clicked.Marco's mom. Claudia.No wonder Sophia straightened up like she just saw God.Claudia spotted me, immediately wrinkled her nose, and whipped out a handkerchief like I was some rotting garbage.The rest of the Varonettis stared, whispering behind their hands—disgust written all over them."Donato's dead. Why aren't you prepping the funeral?" Claudia snapped at Marco. "And who the hell brought in that foreign fraud?!"Sophia started shaking.She shot her hand up and pointed

Chapter 8
Over a dozen armored trucks crashed through the Varonetti gates like a full-blown raid.Leading them? Alexander Falken, Director of the freaking Federal Security Bureau.Even he—someone who's seen war zones—went red-eyed when he saw me."Who did this?" he growled, fury barely contained. "You dared lay a hand on the best heart surgeon in the country?"The same Varonettis who just called me a fraud?Now staring at me like they'd seen a ghost.All except Sophia—still clinging to her delusions."Who the hell ARE you people?!" she shrieked. "This is Varonetti property! You can't just barge in! I swear, I have—"Click.Something cold pressed to her temple.Alexander had loaded a round right in front of her face.Sophia shut up real fast.Then totally collapsed.Officers tried three times to get her to stand. Nothing. Legs completely gave out."Pathetic," Alexander muttered. "All that mouth, no spine."They moved me into the medical van.The hospital had blood ready, and as th

Chapter 9
The Director of the Federal Security Bureau was already someone Marco wouldn't even breathe wrong around.Above that? Forget it. His brain couldn't stretch that far.Regret slammed into him hard. Spoiling Sophia didn't save him; it nuked his whole family.The rest of the Varonettis got it too. They sat there like they'd all just swallowed bugs.Wild, right? The girl they dragged through the mud turned out to be a top-tier surgeon, backed by the Federal Council.If they'd shown me even basic respect, they could've been basking in my spotlight.But nope—they bet on Sophia. Now they were choking on the fallout."Almost forgot about you," Alexander said, snapping open a report. "You used Elena's government car like it was your personal limo—fifteen shopping trips, twenty-two joyrides, and who knows what else."Every ride needed roadblocks and escorts. That's a public safety nightmare and straight-up misuse of Council property."Stack the charges, and you're gone for at least twent
