Chapter thirty-eight

Seth

I feel sick.

Scratch that. I am sick.

Not the kind that leaves one bedridden, just like what I see everyday at the hospital. This one is the kind that leaves one hopeless. Helpless. Powerless.

The brain, mind, and inner kind.

All my searches lead nowhere.

Everywhere had been quiet with her. She doesn't need to tell me. I know.

I know she had not been receiving any threats, after that cafe incident.

The one she had still not let me know.

Not that I didn't know anywa

  • The Billionaire Doctor's Unwilling Wife    Something is wrong

    Chapter thirty-nineEmily“Seth!”My voice tore through the terrace but he didn't answer.For one horrible second, I simply stood there, staring at him as if my mind had refused to understand what my eyes had just witnessed.Then his body hit the ground and that was when I moved.I don't even remember crossing the distance between us. One second I was standing several feet away, and the next I was on my knees beside him, my hands hovering uselessly over his body.“Seth?”Nothing.My heart slammed against my ribs.“Seth!”I touched his shoulder.Still nothing.His eyes remained closed, his face frighteningly still.No.No, no, no.This couldn't be happening.He was fine a few minutes ago.He had been standing there, looking at me, breathing normally. He had even smiled.And now he was lying on the ground like his body had simply decided to betray him.My fingers trembled as I pressed them against his neck.I felt it. The pulse.Thank God.There was one, weak. But there.I released a sh

    Chapter thirty-eightSethI feel sick.Scratch that. I am sick.Not the kind that leaves one bedridden, just like what I see everyday at the hospital. This one is the kind that leaves one hopeless. Helpless. Powerless. The brain, mind, and inner kind.All my searches lead nowhere. Everywhere had been quiet with her. She doesn't need to tell me. I know.I know she had not been receiving any threats, after that cafe incident. The one she had still not let me know. Not that I didn't know anyway. Today marked exactly one week before we returned to work. Not as the presidents of two separate hospitals, but as the co-owners of a single institution born from the merger.That is why I had decided it's time to take a short break from this by shifting my focus to the hospital.I have to make sure everything is in place before we start work. Emily might not know this, but for the past week, I've been in constant contact with the management team handling the hospitals. Every day. Every nigh

  • The Billionaire Doctor's Unwilling Wife    A father's instinct

    Chapter thirty-sevenEmilyThat look.I'd seen it before. Years ago.On my father.The night before he died.It was... exhaustion.The kind that settled deep in a person's soul. The kind no amount of sleep could erase.That same look was right in my front. Not staring back at me, but at his food. Only this time… It belonged to Seth.Not my late father.From where he sat a chair away, his shoulders squared as always, his expression carefully composed. Anyone looking at him would see the same powerful, intimidating Dr. Seth Hernandez.But I saw something different.The faint shadows beneath his eyes.The slight tension in his jaw.The distant look that flickered across his face before disappearing so quickly I almost convinced myself I'd imagined it.My fingers curled around the edge of the dining table.What's wrong with him?The question surfaced before I could stop it.I hated it.Hated that I noticed.Hated that I cared enough to make my thoughts wander.The words climbed to the ti

  • The Billionaire Doctor's Unwilling Wife    Is he okay?

    Chapter thirty-sixEmilyFive hours.Five whole hours, and he still wasn't back.The clock in the living room chimed eight, the sound echoing through the unusually quiet house.Xena had left an hour ago.Since then, I hadn't moved from the couch.The television played quietly in the background, but I couldn't tell you what was on. I'd been staring at the same channel of news for nearly twenty minutes without understanding a single word.Where was he?I frowned at myself. Why was I even asking that?He was free to come and go.So was I...Except I wasn't. I mean, it's just a one time outing to the cafe but his?.That stupid clause in the contract floated back into my mind.Spend time together. No working for a month.What a joke.For the past week, Seth had spent more time outside this house than inside it, leaving me behind with nothing but silence, Mrs. Briggs' overly sweet concern, and my own thoughts.If anyone was breaking the agreement, it was him.A familiar sound cut through th

  • The Billionaire Doctor's Unwilling Wife    The first trial

    Chapter thirty-fiveSeth"Wait."I stopped him before another word could leave his mouth.Not because I didn't want to hear what he had to say.I wanted to make sure he understood exactly what was at stake.I took a slow step toward him, keeping my eyes fixed on his."If what you're about to tell me is anything less than the truth..." I said quietly, my voice calm enough to make the room feel colder, "...you won't like what happens next."I held his gaze, giving him no room to look away."So think carefully before you speak."He nodded his head. Vigorously. “I'm listening.” “It was….” His lips trembled. “Tristan.”The name settled heavily in the room. Finne was the first to react.“I knew it.”But I didn't. I simply stared at the boy.His breathing had become uneven, his chest rising and falling too quickly."Look at me," I said calmly.His frightened eyes met mine."You know Tristan?"He nodded rapidly."Y... yes.""How?""He... he was the one who..."His words caught in his thr

    Chapter thirty-fourSeth“Are you sure of what you're telling me?” I asked the moment I stepped out of the living room. Pulling my car keys from my pants pocket, I got into the car and zoomed off.“I am very sure sir…we all clearly saw him coming out of the estate,” This is strange. “Your answers aren't straightforward, Finne. Give me proof.” I said firmly and ended the call.One week. For the past one week, all my attention had been on the threats and the documents alteration. I am angry, I must admit. But to whom, is what I don't know of.What angers me the most each time is when I find it very hard to articulate my emotions, which hasn't happened before.That is why I must find the one who has been behind the threats and document altering to pour out my frustration on them.I am losing it.I watch my hands tighten on the wheel as I drive speedily. Once I get hold of that bast*rd, I'll rip him apart!.I pulled in front of an uncompleted building. The one I'd been directed to by
