*Desire's POV*
I woke up to the smell of ethanol and was greeted by completely white surroundings. What happened last night came flashing in my mind. I was stabbed! I checked my stomach, and saw a bandage in there, indicating that what happened last night wasn't a dream. I was really stabbed after doing the medical mission!
I tried to stand up but my wound feels like it's burning every time I tried to move. Gosh! I still have some patients to attend to! I can't be here laying in bed while my patients are waiting for me!
The door swung open to reveal my grandfather's worried face. He's with my nanny who's obviously worried as well. I felt sorry for making them worry.

*Third Person's Pov* "I told you to kill her! But all you did was stab her!" Chase shouted angrily at his men as soon as he arrived in their hideout. The goons just bowed down their heads because of fear. "Chase, calm down bro!" Louie stopped him from possibly breaking their men's heads because of rage. "Calm down? When the person that I want dead is still in the hospital, breathing! You expect me to calm down?" Chase shouted angrily. He slamed his hands hard on the table causing for his men to tremble in fear. "Boss don't worry we will do our job better next time. We will kill her," the leader of the goons promised while lowering his gaze. "No! I have a better plan. For now, I think I have to eliminate her grandfather first!" Louie's eyes widened after hearing his friend's words. "You will kill your dad?" It's really hard for him to believe that Chase would actually plan to kill someone just for the sake of money. The Chase he once knew when they were still young was friendly
*Desire's POV* They say everyone is meant to leave this world. Everyone would eventually die and leave for good. But I didn't expect it to happen so soon to my grandpa. He's the only family I have! We can't hide the fact that losing our loved ones is like a part of our heart had died as well. And that's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I curled up to my bed and hugged myself tightly. A week full of sorrows and misery had passed. After my grandfather's burial I filed an indefinite leave. And for these past few days I've been spending my life mourning for his death. Nanny Ysang tried to comfort me, but I told her that I want to be alone and I don't wish to be comforted by anyone. Patricia calls every night but I chose to ignore her calls. All I want to do is to stay in bed and cry all night. I know that I promised my grandpa that I will help uncle Chase in running our business. But I just don't have the strength to do it right now."Desire, sweety can I come in?" nanny
Chase's POV; "Could you believe it? I was there when he was having difficulties with that stupid company! But he only gave me 20% share? What am I going to do with that stupid share?" I slammed my fist hard on the table. This is a big embarrassment and I will never accept it! "Bro, calm down. Atleast he gave you 20% share when in fact we both know that you don't deserve any of it!" Louie said that made me more furious. "Are you serious? You think I don't deserve anything? After all my sacrifices?" I was about to punch him but he was able to catch my fist before it landed on his face. "Bro, calm down. Remember what you did to him! You killed him! You have killed the man who stood beside you as your father and raised you like his own child! Man that was insane! You have a very big sin!" he told me. "You shut up! If that stupid Desire finds out about this, I would strangle your neck and throw your dead body in the river!" I warned him. He swallowed the lump
*Third Person's POV* The cold breeze of the night touches the fair white complexion of Desire Almonte. It's already late and she can't find someone to help her fix her car. It overheated, and now she's in the middle of nowhere. She could see no one there and not even a single car passes. Woods and the rough road are the only things that she could see, and all she hears is the sound of the night owl that's probably coming fom the middle of the woods. She sighed out of frustration and combed her long blonde hair using her fingers. She tried calling her friends for help but there's no signal. "Why the hell did this happened?" She was supposed to go home after her medical mission but ended up being stuck in the middle of a rough road. She was about to go inside her car when she noticed two human figures approaching towards her direction. All of a sudden she felt nervous, her body wasn't trembling from cold but from the fear she's feeling. She opened her car door and was about to go
Life is like a maze, full of different obstacles and requires a great deal of strength to survive. That is one thing that the four years old Desire Almonte learned from her father. He is a very busy man but he always finds time to bond with her. But today she received a very bad news from her grandfather saying that her father died due to an illness. Her mother died after giving birth to her and now her father left her at such a very young age. Tears started to fall from her beautiful emerald green eyes as she reminisces her past memories with him. "Hush now my princess, your father hates to see you cry," her grandpa comforted her. He sits beside her and tried to wipe her tears using his bare hands. "But grandpa if he does not want to see me like this,
*Desire's Pov;* Two days passed since we arrive here in my grandfather's mansion but still I'm missing my old home. I'm missing my father and my friends who usually come to play with me. "Why are you sad?" nanny asked when she saw me staring over my room's window. "Did you remember your father again?" I nod as an answer and tears started to fall from my eyes. She hugged me tight and kisses the top of my head. It's her way to calm me. "Thank you nanny," I whispered. I'm really grateful I have her. I may no
(After 16 years) *Desire's POV;* "Doctor Almonte a patient needs you!" A nurse ran towards my direction while I'm having a sip of coffee in my office. She's panting and I could see how nervous she is right now. "Calm down, take deep breathes and relax. I will attend to that patient right away," I told her. She sits on the couch and started to breathe in and out just like what I told her. I put on my white coat and grabbed my stethoscope. Then I hurriedly run towards the direction of the emergency room. I could see my fellow doctors and some nurses running as well. We have a lot of patients for today and we must attend to all o
*Third Person's POV* Giovanni went home with a smile on his wrinkled face. He managed to close the deal with one of his billionaire clients. He had been working hard for that deal for the past three weeks and now he finally managed to close it. One more successful business partnership with a big client and the future of his company will be secured. "Congratulations on closing the deal dad," Chase congratulated him as soon as they stepped out of their cars. "Thanks son, I just hope we could do the same thing with Kevin Villafuerte. I've been dying to have a business partnership with him but he keeps on declining my business proposals," the old man answered. Chase's face suddenly turned mad upon hearing what his father told
