“CODE RED. CODE RED. DR. HILTON TO EMERGENCY.”

Olivia's butt barely touched her office chair when the loud voice boomed through the ceiling speakers. "Not now," she whispered, pushing herself up, regret in her blue and green eyes as she eyed her Starluxe coffee.

Today was particularly grueling. This morning, she had spent countless hours assisting Dr. Wilson, the expert neurosurgeon, who performed three separate surgeries, one of which was a complex spinal tumor removal that lasted five hours. Her feet ached in her sensible shoes, and all she wanted was five minutes to sit down and drink the coffee that was now going cold on her desk.

The emergency department was two floors down, and even though the elevator would be faster, she took the stairs. Too many times she'd been stuck in a slow elevator during an emergency.

She practically sprinted through the hallway in an unladylike manner that would make Mrs. Hilton faint in horror if she saw her.

Slightly out of breath, the familiar chaos

  • The General's Replacement Doctor Wife   Chapter 1

    "Witch! Look at her weird eyes!" The shouts rang across the rain-swept yard of St. Therese Orphanage. Fourteen-year-old Olivia quickened her steps and pretended not to hear a word. "Freak with the devil's eyes!" Asher, the oldest boy, yelled from behind her. He was sixteen and mean as an ogre; teasing her was his favorite pastime. Olivia kept her head down, watching her worn-out shoes make tracks in the mud, one foot after another. Just make it to the building. Just make it inside, she repeated the words in her head like a mantra. But she wasn't fast enough. A hard shove sent her face-first into a dirty puddle. Water and mud filled her nose and mouth. The children laughed; not a single one offered help. "Show us your witch eyes!" Sarah screamed. She used to be Olivia's roommate until she told Sister Anne that she was scared Olivia would curse her in her sleep, so she was transferred to another room. Olivia lifted her face from the ground, but Asher pushed her back with his knee

  • The General's Replacement Doctor Wife   Chapter 2

    Not long after the Hilton family left, a sleek black Rolls-Royce pulled into the orphanage driveway. Sister Anne was still fuming about losing Olivia when she emerged to greet the visitor. Her anger vanished instantly at the sight of the woman stepping out of the car. Four men in dark suits immediately surrounded her. The woman was breathtaking, but what made Sister Anne's heart stop and caused her breath to catch in her throat were her eyes—one green, one blue. "I'm looking for a child my father left in this orphanage fourteen years ago," the woman's voice was soft but commanding. Her perfectly manicured fingers brushed a strand of dark hair from her face. "My daughter wore a locket. She also has a mole on her back." Sister Anne's face drained of color. She had seen that mark on Olivia once when she changed her clothes. She also recalled seeing her wearing an old necklace, which she had thought was ugly, but now, considering its value, she no longer thought of it that way. "This

  • The General's Replacement Doctor Wife   Chapter 3

    Four years had passed, and time had worked its strange magic. Olivia's eyes, which had once made her a target of cruel bullying at the orphanage and caused Clayton Bradford to call her a freak, had become her most striking feature. At seventeen, Olivia walked the halls of Cordova Academy with a grace that turned heads. Her mismatched eyes—one as green as spring leaves, the other as blue as a summer sky—had become an attraction. Boys stumbled over their words when she passed by in the hallways, and the art students begged to paint her portrait. In photography class, Olivia became the most requested model. The photography teacher, Ms. Shanon, called her "a work of art." Girls who once would have mocked her features back in freshman year now visited expensive boutiques, searching for colored contact lenses to mimic her look. But none could replicate the natural beauty she possessed. When prom season arrived, her locker overflowed with invitations. The football captain, a famous polit

  • The General's Replacement Doctor Wife   Chapter 4

    After the graduation ceremony, the Hiltons held a party for Olivia, and the whole graduating class was invited. Mrs. Hilton raised her crystal glass high in the air and made a toast, "For my daughter who graduated at the top of her class and whose awards and certificates could fill this room like wallpaper. Congratulations." Her adoptive mother was looking right at Olivia but seeing past her. In her mind, she was congratulating another child who no longer existed. Olivia hid her pain behind a smile, the same one she’d worn for years, which no one seemed to look at closely enough to notice the cracks beneath. Everyone raised their glasses. She raised hers too, congratulating herself not for her achievements but for being strong enough to keep living this ‘bullshit of a life’ with a smile on her face. Throughout the night, people kept coming up to her. She faced everyone with a smile until her jaw hurt. It was halfway through the party when she realized Clayton wasn't there. She

  • The General's Replacement Doctor Wife   Chapter 5

    Olivia arrived late because her car broke down in the middle of the road. It took the auto repair shop personnel thirty minutes to arrive and tow her vehicle. She took a cab to the Bradford Estate. The party was in full swing when she entered. The music was loud enough to break her eardrums, and the scent of alcohol and smoke wafted through the air. She had attended various parties before, but this one was different. People were everywhere, shouting and laughing. A woman in jeans stood on a table, finishing a beer mug. Two bare-chested guys were doing a sexy dance while the surrounding group cheered. For the first time in Olivia's life, she didn't mind the noise. The sound was a lullaby that soothed her soul, making her forget that her life was a mess. Here, she could be herself, drink to her heart's desire—although she hadn’t done that before. She could even dance if she wanted to. She pushed through the crowd, ignoring the hellos and waves from strangers. Clayton was easy to s
