Bianca's POV My stomach tightened in tune with the contractions. Tears pricked against my eyes as the pain became unbearable and a sob ripped its way from my throat. Something felt wrong. I went into labor before my scheduled cesarean arrived. Meaning that this was unexpected and could potentially cause a lot of problems during delivery. Clutching my stomach, another round of contractions ate away at me. It was too late for an epidural now. I was just biding my time, waiting for the gynecologist to show up—assuming she arrived on time. “I can’t do this,” I murmured breathlessly as tears tracked down my skin. The sperm-donor of my children knew nothing about my pregnancy. After he threw me out on my ass, I was completely alone. I didn’t have any family or friends. The only thing I did have was a degree—thanks to Damon. At least that was one good thing that happened out of the relationship. But now that I was in this mess, my emotions were going haywire.

*Bianca's POV* I shifted uncomfortably in the plush leather armchair, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings of my so-called grandfather's house. The spacious living room was adorned with antique furniture, ornate vases, and expensive art pieces — everything that screamed wealth and privilege. It was a far cry from the tiny apartment I had been living in, but it also made me feel like an outsider, a fish out of water. Did I really belong here? I questioned this repeatedly in my mind. He is my family but I don't even know what to behave like toward him. I couldn't help but question their kindness. I had always been living my life alone, and now that someone is finally taking care of me, it feels unalike and strange. However, despite my initial doubts, my grandfather and cousin had been nothing but kind and accommodating. I didn't want to move in with them at first, but when I noted all the money I had left, and the future cost, moving with them was the best choice especially whe

*Bianca's POV* My mind buzzed with my grandfather's plea as I continued to work through the rest of the day. "Doctor Bianca… Doctor BIANCA?" I snapped out of my thoughts, and told her about the report, as I tried hard to focus on my work. Guilt gnawed at my conscience, tugging at my heartstrings. How could I refuse to help someone in need, especially after all that my grandfather had done for me? I can't believe, I am being so selfish, shameless, and heartless, after all this. His words echoed in my mind, reminding me of the compassion and kindness he had shown me over the years. I heaved a sigh. I couldn't let something personal hold me back from fulfilling my duty as a doctor. After all, what were the chances of running into Damon in such a vast city like Los Angeles? It was a bustling metropolis, teeming with countless faces and stories. It would only be one in a million chances! Surely, the universe wouldn't conspire to bring him into my path again! With a newfound determinati

Bianca's POV I am back from the mall. I can't believe what I had to see just when I got there. He is dating Aileen now? They used to call themselves best friends. Who would have thought they had something going on? Even so, that shouldn't bother me much. It's none of my business. I should only maintain a businesslike relationship with him. I entered the apartment and dropped the things I bought. Then my baby rushed outside from his room with a wide smile on his face. Dion is the joy of my life, he's everything to me after all that I've been through to have him. “Mommy!“ He ran into my arms, I crouched down to hug him. He is such a joy to watch. “Dion! You shouldn't run around the house like that… Oh, you're here miss.“ Mia came running out of the room. She stopped on seeing me. “I told you to stop calling me that countless times. I didn't say anything yesterday because I was tired. We are of the same age, just call me by my name.“ I complained to her. She nodded with a smi

Damon's POV Watching Bianca fight with Aileen is infuriating. Do I have to settle whatever those two have between them? Why is it always Bianca? It's not enough that she suddenly appeared out of nowhere after a long time. Why is she making things hard for me? I thought I would just be getting the best doctor to treat my father and I was wondering who this could be. An oncologist who is the best? That person is Bianca? The same Bianca I married years ago and left. Would she actually be able to take care of my father like a real doctor would? Without taking out her anger towards my father? "You've really got the nerves to talk back at me Bianca. I don't know if I should smile at you or not?" I stated bluntly, clearly I was talking without thinking. Seeing her gives me a little bit of anxiety. I didn't hear from her for a long time. She has really changed a lot. She is no longer the submissive girl she used to be. "I don't need your smile. You should know how to act professionally
