The overhead lights buzzed faintly, casting a sterile glow over stainless steel counters and untouched instruments. The smell of antiseptic lingered in the air, sharp enough to sting.

I paused outside the door before entering and listened.

Still, I didn’t move immediately, my eyes flicked down the empty hallway, scanning corners, shadows, the reflective surfaces of glass panels that could betray movement behind me.

  • THE DON'S DOCTOR    Chapter Thirty Three

    The overhead lights buzzed faintly, casting a sterile glow over stainless steel counters and untouched instruments. The smell of antiseptic lingered in the air, sharp enough to sting.I paused outside the door before entering and listened.Still, I didn’t move immediately, my eyes flicked down the empty hallway, scanning corners, shadows, the reflective surfaces of glass panels that could betray movement behind me. The compound had been restless since the attack. Guards doubled, footsteps heavier, conversations cut short the moment I passed.Everyone was watching everyone.I reached for the handle slowly and pushed the door open just enough to slip inside. The hinges gave a soft click behind me as I closed it, carefully. Only then did I turn. Darius was already there.Leaning against the counter, arms crossed, eyes fixed on nothing in particular. He didn’t look up immediately, like he was listening for something beyond the room.Only when the silence stretched long enough did he spea

  • THE DON'S DOCTOR    Chapter Thirty-Two

    The car door slammed shut beside me. Frank slid into the driver’s seat, blood still drying along his jaw. The engine roared to life, and the building disappeared behind us as he pulled onto the road. I pressed my hands against my thighs, trying to steady them, but the adrenaline was still racing through my veins. The images wouldn’t stop replaying in my mind—the gunshots, the bodies on the concrete, the moment the gun had been pointed at me.Frank drove like a man who knew every inch of the road without needing to look at it. One hand on the wheel. The other rested loosely near the gun on the console.His face was calm again. If someone had stepped into the car right now, they would never have guessed what had just happened in that building.Blood had dried in a thin line along his jaw where the punch had split the skin. The cut had stopped bleeding, but the edges were still very red.The road stretched ahead of us, dark and empty. For a while, the only sounds were the engine and the

  • THE DON'S DOCTOR    Chapter Thiety-One Stay Close

    I stared at him for a moment after he said it.“I don't know how to love someone without trying to keep them.”The words hung between us, heavy and immovable. There was nothing left for me to say.So I turned and walked out. My heart was still beating too fast. My thoughts louder than my footsteps.Halfway down the hall— A gunshot exploded.The sound was violent. Deafening.I froze.Another shot cracked through the air before my brain could catch up. Frank was there.His hand closed around my arm and jerked me backward so hard my shoulder hit the wall.“Stay down.”I barely had time to react before a third shot tore through the hallway. The bullet slammed into the wall where my head had been a second earlier, concrete dust exploding into the air.My breath caught.Frank’s gun was already in his hand. I didn’t even see him draw it. And just like that, the man I had been arguing with disappeared. What stood in front of me now was Frank Costello. Head of the Costello crime family.His b

    Frank stood by the closed door, shoulders squared, his presence pressing against the air itself. Then, slowly, he turned. Every movement measured. Every step intentional. His eyes found mine across the concrete floor, dark and unwavering. And then he spoke. The words were sharp in the silence, as bare and cutting as a blade. “No.” The room seemed to shrink around that single word. Every heartbeat, every thought, every fear pressed in tighter. I blinked, swallowing hard. There was nothing to argue with, just him. And the quiet, absolute weight of his answer. “Why,” I asked, my voice calm, just needing to understand. “Because it wasn’t relevant to you.” I blinked. I didn't know when it started.My hands found the nearest chair, and I threw it. The sound it made hitting the concrete wall was enormous in the empty room. The echo of it bouncing back at me. It wasn't enough. I screamed. Not words. Just sound. The raw, unformed sound of something that has been compressed too lo

  • THE DON'S DOCTOR    Chapter Twenty-nine I Ended It.

    The question hung between them unresolved, the weight of it pressing into the silence that had already stretched too far.Frank's eyes remained locked on Sofia, waiting.For a moment, it almost seemed like she might answer him and give him the truth he was demanding, clean and direct, something that would settle the tension tightening in the room.Instead, her expression shifted slightly, something quieter settling into place as she held his gaze.“Did you order the shot on my father?”For a second, I thought I had misheard her. But the look on Frank’s face told me I hadn’t.“What did you say?” he asked.Sofia didn’t look away.“You heard me.”Her voice was calm, almost too calm for the weight of what she had just said.Frank let out a slow breath. Something in him coiled tight and ready to snap. “That’s not an answer.” “No,” Sofia agreed softly. “It isn’t.”She took a step closer. “But it is the question that matters.”Frank’s jaw tightened slightly, his expression hardening as he s

    For a moment, Frank didn’t move.The name had barely left his mouth when the silence in the room seemed to press in from every side, thick with something heavy and unresolved. His eyes stayed on Sofia, searching her face as if trying to confirm that she was real and not some cruel trick of memory.Then the moment passed.The shock did not disappear, but it hardened into something colder. The kind of control that had made men fear him long before I ever met him.His gaze shifted back to me.The change in his expression was immediate. The disbelief that had flickered across his face vanished, replaced by a dark focus that settled over him like an armor.He crossed the room, moving towards me. One of the remaining men moved as if to stop him, but the warning in Frank’s eyes was enough to freeze him in place. No one spoke.Frank stopped directly in front of me and crouched down, his attention completely fixed on the ropes binding my wrists. His hand came up, steady and precise, as he rea

    Pain woke me before the rest of the world did.A slow, heavy throbbing pulsed behind my eyes, each beat spreading through my skull like something alive under the skin. I lay there in the dark, trying to understand why my head felt like it had been split open.Then I realized the dark wasn’t natural

    I sank back into the leather seat as the car merged into traffic. The second car pulled out behind us as we left. The guard's vehicle.The city moved past the window in slow pieces, shops closing for the evening.Seeing Elowen had felt strange. Familiar in a way that almost hurt. Like touching a li

    The house was quiet again by the time the clock on the wall crept past five.I sat on the edge of the bed with the lamp on low, a glass of whiskey in my hand that I hadn’t really meant to pour.I froze mid-sip, sensing him before I looked as headlights cut across the courtyard outside the window.T

    Rosabella stepped into the room and nudged the door shut behind her with her heel.The soft click of the latch sounded louder than it should have.I moved aside while she walked in, setting the cups on the small table by the window.Steam curled up from the tea in thin white ribbons.“Couldn’t slee
