Seth Robinson stood outside her apartment, his fists clenched at his sides. He had rehearsed a hundred versions of this moment. Some where he brought flowers, some where he wore the humble smile of a man who had seen the error of his ways. But nothing had prepared him for the sight of two guards stationed outside her building, military guards, their uniforms stiff and their expressions cold.

He had not even made it through the gate. “This is a civilian complex,” he argued, trying to keep his tone light. “I just want to speak with Arla-Rosa. I’m her....” “Turn around, Mr. Robinson,” one of the soldiers cut in, hand casually resting on the butt of his pistol. “Dr. Hernandez does not take unsolicited visits. She’s under protective watch. You may request an audience through official military channels.”

“Official...” Seth nearly laughed, but it caught in his throat. “She’s a student. Not a soldier. Not a queen.” “She’s a national asset,” the second guard said firmly. “Not your concern any

  • The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake    Of Brilliance, Bait, And The the Midas Smile

    Brilliant City Medical University was a hive of controlled chaos. Students, administrators, and professors alike buzzed with anxious anticipation. Graduation loomed in less than four weeks, and the final round of assessments had begun in full swing. For most students, it was a make-or-break period. But for Arla-Rosa Santon, it was war. Not against the school or the exams, but against the odds she had systematically torn down and rebuilt in her favor.Seated in the exam hall, her hands rested lightly on her desk, fingers calm, eyes razor-focused. Paper after paper was placed before her, neurology, surgical innovation, internal medicine, pharmacological theory, biogenetics, emergency trauma, even archaic diseases and new-age regenerative medicine.She did not flinch. There was no room for rest, not even mentally. Her body was fatigued from the recent weeks of high-stakes healing across military and foreign districts, but her mind, her mind was honed, ruthle

  • The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake    His Intrigue

    In the heart of Country D, the elite skyline of Alabaster City shimmered under the pale glow of morning light. Duke Cedric Fleming stood by the tall windows of his office on the top floor of the Fleming House of Hope, the most prestigious medical institution in the hemisphere. His silver-rimmed glasses glinted as his deep cerulean eyes scanned the glowing screen of his tablet. "Play it again," he instructed calmly.His other assistant, Maddox, nodded and restarted the video, grainy but clear footage captured discreetly during a high-security military treatment session in Country L. The young woman in a white coat moved with astonishing certainty, her slender hands administering needles with impeccable precision. The patient, a war veteran, convulsed once, then exhaled as calm swept over him. Duke watched, transfixed. The video ended with murmurs of disbelief from the military observers."Arla-Rosa Hernandez," Maddox said, supplying the name unprompted. "N

  • The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake    The Fascination Before The Reunion

    Across the border in Country D, the private lounge of the Fleming House of Hope tower overlooked the glittering skyline of the capital city. The penthouse-level was soundproofed, pristine, and clinical, much like its owner.Duke Fleming leaned back in his leather chair, a half-read report in his hand and his eyes distant. The wind tousled the fine strands of his silver-blonde hair, and a vein pulsed at his temple. He had read through dozens of research journals and military medical reports over the last three weeks, but one name kept surfacing with increasing frequency.Arla-Rosa Hernandez. He had first heard of her from a delegation that returned from Country L. Their descriptions had seemed exaggerated at the time, some prodigy from a war-torn background who had healed twelve elite cases in under two months. But what really caught his attention were the before-and-after scans.Cases that top consultants had deemed irreversible were resolve

  • The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake    The Return of a Phoenix

    The final patient, a once-renowned general from Country E who had been paralyzed from the waist down due to rare spinal degeneration, took his first step on the morning of the tenth day. His trembling hands reached for Arla-Rosa as tears slipped down his battle-worn cheeks. The room had been silent, no machines whirring, no lectures echoing from whiteboards, just the sound of victory etched into human breath. He had walked again. And with that step, Arla-Rosa’s nineteenth soul was healed. Twelve lives in two months. She had surpassed even her own quiet expectations. The entire barracks erupted in celebration, but Arla remained composed, calmly bowing her head to the generals and whispering her thanks to Master Ye in her heart. It was time to go back to campus. The military command, however, was not quite ready to let her go. At a briefing attended by the generals, foreign attaches, and the Minister of Defense himself, Arla-Rosa stood in her pressed uniform, graceful but firm. “Are yo

  • The Phoenix Bride Rises: Trust Was Her First Mistake    With New Allies, New Rivals Emerge

    In the quiet hours of the night, Arla-Rosa sat cross-legged in her bunker, candlelight flickering in the room. Medical notes filled the space around her like prayer scrolls, handwritten diagnostics, herbal references from Master Ye, and diagrams she had memorized down to the nerve pathways. Outside, someone watched. A soldier, new to the barracks, moved like a shadow towards the storage room where Arla kept her acupuncture needles and herbal pouches. He slipped inside, with gloved hands, pulling out a small vial of brown liquid meant to corrupt the herbs with toxins. Just as he uncapped the bottle, a gun cocked behind him. “Drop it,” came a low voice. It was General Hanson himself. The saboteur froze, sweating. In moments, soldiers surrounded the room. The general looked murderous. “You tried to sabotage the one person restoring hope to my men?” he hissed. The traitor was disarmed, beaten, and dragged out. The general did not stop at arrest, he launched a formal investigation. All a
