It feels like a bucket of ice was poured over her body. Her eyes, widened and terrified, were fixated at the monitor while she was seated frozen on her seat. Shown before her eyes is the playing footage of the sickening event that happened on that fateful day.

“No… this isn’t true…” her trembling mouth finally has enough strength to speak. She could feel her blood draining out of her body. The paleness and cold added to the tense she’s feeling as her mind tried to decipher the video–although she’s basically spoon-fed with enough information right now.

The confusion she had that day that she had chosen to ignore was brought back today. The things she chose to ignore were now coming together to make up an unthinkable picture.

So, it wasn’t just a simple confusion she had when she learned that Lawrence was on surgery by the time when it wasn’t in his schedule. The presence she felt in her office when she was looking for him that she chose to ignore in fear that he could be a harmful per

  • The Mafia's Enemy: Owning the Doctor   Chapter 107: Locked In

    Three weeks later, Georgia began spending her time rightfully–in a way that could help her in the future. She was firm in her decision. She didn’t bend and didn’t back down. She gave justice to her agreement with Heinrich–she completely separated herself from them. Sweats started to bulge in her skin, soaking her tank top–it felt like she was bathing with her own sweat. Georgia took a break at first and chased her breath. She took the boxing gloves off of her hand and gently threw her body on the edge of the ring–enough not to bounce. “Here!” All of a sudden, she heard a woman’s voice behind her. It was Lily who threw her a bottle of water. Fortunately, she managed to catch it with her one hand.“Thankies!” Georgia exclaimed and drank the entire bottle in one go. Lily couldn’t help but to get impressed at the sight. A chuckle escaped from Georgia’s lips when she heard a slow clap from her.“Damn. You’re so locked in, doc!” Lily commented. She kind of found her cool! The pose and the

  • The Mafia's Enemy: Owning the Doctor   Chapter 106: Nightmare

    “I’m so sorry, Primo…” Those four words escaped from Georgia’s mouth as her eyes looked at Primo who was unconsciously lying on the bed while being connected to the apparatus. She was inside his private room, but she still remained closer to the door. She couldn’t get closer to him. She was afraid. It felt like she didn’t have the rights, so she remained a considerable distance between them.Thankfully, the two guards guarding the private room approved her for coming in. She was indeed thankful, but this was all she could do. Watch him in a distance. Watching him was already a challenge to her heart. She was afraid that she might back down, she might dissolve her agreement with Heinrich, and… she might get deluded by her own feelings just to be a nuisance to Primo again.She couldn’t take that risk. Georgia somehow knew where she would draw the line–she was completely aware, that was why she was away from him, though in the same space with him. He felt so close to her, yet so far. She

  • The Mafia's Enemy: Owning the Doctor   Chapter 105: Ashamed

    Georgia hasn’t faced them yet, but she was already stunned to hear Manuel’s voice. It was the guilt that crawled into her skin. She felt ashamed to even face them. Georgia just stood frozen, as she felt their presence getting closer to their direction.In response to Manuel, Heinrich just raised his arm, showing them the bandages on his arm. Then, Georgia heard a woman’s chuckle–it was Jennifer.“Seriously, huh? It’s surprising to see your conscience after you fucked us up.” Jennifer muttered as she stood beside Georgia who still couldn’t move. She felt ashamed to turn her head to her direction. She didn’t even know what to do. Until, she felt her gazes landing on her through her peripheral vision. “What happened?” Jennifer asked, obviously directed to her. Worry etched on her face, while shame plastered on Georgia’s. She didn’t answer. She didn’t move. If it were on a text message, she just left her in read. Georgia swallowed the lump in her throat, until her attention was diverted

  • The Mafia's Enemy: Owning the Doctor   Chapter 104: Whose Fault

    Since another coincidence arose, Georgia ended up being in the passenger’s seat in Kris’ car. She just learned that this guy is the owner of that cafe near the hospital which was why he visits to do his morning routine inspection. It came as a surprise to her. The possibility that he was the owner of that cafe didn’t even cross her mind. Well, she has already got a lot of things on her plate to even mind about that.Surprisingly, this Kris guy was like a chatterbox. Even while driving, he didn’t stop sharing various things with her. Witnessing him like that, it became another surprising fact that she learned about him. But that chattering has to end now as they were already in their destination. Kris brought her right in front of the hospital first before heading to his cafe.Georgia told her thanks and then bid her farewell to him in an instant. As the car finally went off, Georgia averted her eyes to the establishment. The fear that was suppressed earlier due to Kris’ presence, now

  • The Mafia's Enemy: Owning the Doctor   Chapter 103: Out of Her Mind

    Is it really something to freak out for? What is it to her if Primo didn’t reach her out? What if she didn’t see his name on her notification? Does it change anything? Does it change her decision to cut his ties completely with him? No. Definitely, not. Whether Primo called her or not, it doesn’t change anything. Hence, Georgia just ended up letting out a heavy sigh. Then, she blocked the contact numbers of those people associated with Primo and also Primo’s number itself. She blocked them all without a single hint of hesitation. The sun has already risen and her phone was the first thing she ever checked. A part of her hoped that she would see his name on her notification. To her dismay, not a name of Primo ever showed. Perhaps, she was just right about blocking him.She was about to throw away her phone and get up from the bed to wash her face, when her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of that particular message from Lily. A new message from her, sent just a few minutes ago. Lily’s m

  • The Mafia's Enemy: Owning the Doctor   Chapter 102: New Beginning

    It is something that Georgia has to do, even if it causes her pain in her heart. But it will soon heal, right? That’s what keeps Georgia going–the thought that the pain will heal on its own. This will pass. It’s just a temporary pain. This won’t last. It won’t sting if she put her mind away from it. “Heinrich…” Georgia called as she was about to get into the car that they had provided for her. The sun was about to sink in the horizon, wrapping up the day. She didn’t know where she was. This place didn’t look like the CBF headquarters, either. Well, it would be risky for Heinrich there. Unlike the CBF that resided in a remote area, this place is right in the city–itt would be right to say on the border of the city. The building they brought her isn’t as enormous as CBF, neither as luxurious, too. In fact, this building almost looked like an abandoned establishment. Georgia turned around and looked at Heinrich, who was waiting for something she has to say. “Can you… at least tell me
