The Surgeon’s Revenge Deal Chapter 50
Gwen's PovI couldn’t stay in that apartment another minute.The package on the coffee table stared at me like a living accusation. Every time I glanced at it, fresh waves of humiliation crashed over me. I needed out. My Book club meeting was today. Right. It was my one safe, normal thing this week, a quiet gathering at a cute café a few blocks away where we talked about romance novels and drank overpriced lattes. No ex-husbands. No lecturers. No drama.I changed into something decent, a soft oversized sweater and leggings, splashed water on my puffy face, and grabbed my copy of the book we were discussing. Then I cracked open my front door and peeked both ways like a criminal on the run.Coast clear.I slipped out, closing the door as quietly as possible, and headed straight for the stairwell instead of the elevator. No way was I risking that metal box today. Three floors down. Easy. I could handle three floors.But the moment I pushed open the stairwell door, I noticed something w
The Surgeon’s Revenge Deal Chapter 49
Gwen's PovI dragged myself back to the apartment building like a zombie. Every step felt like I wore iron boots weighing five tons each. The encounter with Elena, the weird tension with Alex and Nelson, the constant feeling of being watched by my own past, it all sat on my shoulders like a sack of onions.By the time I locked my door behind me, I was bone-tired and completely disconcerted. The day had been too much. I kicked off my shoes, dropped my bag on the floor, and collapsed onto the couch. For a long minute, I just stared at the ceiling, replaying Elena’s screamed accusation in my head.You wanted to kill my baby. Again.What the hell did that even mean?I reached for my phone and opened my messages, thumb hovering over my best friend’s name. I really wished she was here. Just one hug, one glass of wine, and her loud, no-filter comfort would have helped. But she was halfway across the world for work, and the time difference made it impossible. She’d be fast asleep right now.“

Alex's PovSeeing her rattled me more than I cared to admit.Gwen looked shaken when she walked back to the table, shoulders tense, that forced smile not reaching her eyes. Something had happened. I could read it in the way she carried herself, the slight flush on her cheeks that wasn’t from running late. My gut twisted. I wanted to pull her aside, demand answers, fix whatever had put that look on her face.But it wasn’t my place. Not anymore.I gritted my teeth hard enough to feel the pressure in my jaw. Stay out of it, Thorne. She had made it clear she didn’t want me near her. The way she’d practically jumped out of my car this morning proved that. Still, the instinct to protect her hadn’t died. It burned low and constant, buried under layers of guilt and regret.I kept my face neutral for the kid sitting across from her, Nelson. Good student. Eager. Asked smart questions about the case study. I gave him a few pointers, and genuinely enjoyed talking with him. But my attention kept

Gwen's Pov“You!” Elena hissed, her perfectly arched brows shooting up in disbelief. Her voice was low, but venom dripped from every syllable. The restroom door swung shut behind me, trapping us in the small hallway that led back to the food court.My heart slammed against my ribs. Of all the people in this city, why her? Why now?I stepped back quickly, raising my hands. “Sorry. I didn’t see you.” My voice came out without shaking. But inside, my mind was screaming. Not today. Please, not today.She stared at me like I was a ghost that had crawled out of her worst nightmare. For a second, something almost like satisfaction flickered across her face, the look of someone who had just found an old enemy still breathing.I tried to sidestep her. “Excuse me.”But she shifted with me, blocking my path. Her heels clicked sharply on the tile. “You’ve got some nerve showing your face around here.”I swallowed hard, the burger and milkshake suddenly sitting like lead in my stomach. My past al

Gwen's PovI lasted until we were two blocks away from campus.The car was too warm, the silence too loud, and Alex’s presence too overwhelming. Every time he shifted gears or glanced in my direction, my stomach did this stupid little flip that reminded me exactly why I had spent the last year rebuilding my walls. I couldn’t risk anyone seeing us pull up together. The rumours would start before lunch.“Stop the car,” I said suddenly, my voice sharper than I intended.Alex slowed down but didn’t pull over immediately. “We’re almost there.”“Exactly.” I unbuckled the seatbelt he had helped me with earlier, the memory of his closeness still made my cheeks warm. “I’ll walk the rest. I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea.”He exhaled through his nose, jaw tight, but he eased the car to the side of the road near a row of campus-adjacent cafes. “Gwen…”“Thanks for the ride,” I cut him off, already opening the door and jamming it close a little harder than necessary. I stepped out befo

Gwen's PovThe email was open on my screen before I could talk myself out of it.Thank you for the student list. –Dr. Alexander ThorneThat was it. Five words. Polite. Professional. Cold as ice.I stared at it for a full minute, waiting for something more, an explanation, an apology, even a stupid emoji. Nothing. I let out a bitter laugh that echoed in my quiet apartment. Why did you expect anything else, Gwen? He had made it crystal clear a year ago that I was nothing but a temporary distraction. Of course he wasn’t going to suddenly pour his heart out over email.I tossed my phone onto the nightstand and flopped back onto the bed, pulling the covers over my head. The day kept replaying in my mind like a bad movie on repeat: Alex at the front of the lecture hall, the way my body still reacted to his voice, Nelson’s hopeful smile, the humiliating elevator moment, and now this neighbour bombshell.Sleep refused to come. I tossed and turned for hours, checking the clock every twenty m

Gwen's PovThe news tampered down in days, thanks to his pulling certain strings. Everything was almost back to normal again.Well almost everything.Today was the court hearing for my divorce with Raymond. I had gotten my lawyer and other necessary documents and was ready to be finally free of him
The Surgeon’s Revenge Deal Chapter 33
Gwen's PovI didn't sleep.Not really. I lay on the softest mattress I had ever touched in my life, staring at the ceiling of Alex's guest room while the city glittered silently beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I counted the hours by the slow shift of the skyline from black to purple to a p

Gwen's PovFlashbulbs exploded through the peephole of my hotel room door like lightning.I pressed my back against the hard wood, my heart hammering violently against my ribs. Outside, the hallway was a complete zoo. Shouted questions, heavy footsteps, and the constant, aggressive click-click-cli
The Surgeon’s Revenge Deal Chapter 31
Gwen's PovI sat in the car for a long time before I turned the engine on.My hands were on the wheel but I wasn't driving anywhere. I was just sitting, watching the university gates through the windshield, breathing through the anger that had wrapped itself around my ribcage and refused to let go.
