CHAPTER 1

Camilla's POV.I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the pregnancy test in my trembling hands, I couldn't help but smile at the two bright lines staring back at me. This little stick held the promise of a future I had only ever dreamed of, a future with Lawrence, my contract husband, the man I had grown to love beyond the bounds of our temporary marriage. Imagining the joy on his face when I would share this news with him filled me with warmth and excitement. It made me think of how it all started.We met through Jane, my best friend. Lawrence was her friend from high school, and she thought we’d be a good match. Our first meeting was in a quiet restaurant in LA. I was nervous, but he was calm and collected. His eyes held something unreadable like he had lived too many lives in one. By the end of the night, he offered me a contract marriage. I thought it was crazy, but something in him looked lonely. Like he just needed someone to be there. So I said yes. And somewhere along the

CHAPTER 2

Camilla's POV. "Camilla, where are you? The party has already started, and the Director is asking for you," Andrew's voice crackled through the phone. "I'll be there soon," I replied quickly, ending the call before Andrew could initiate a longer conversation. I felt a bit of guilt tugged at me as I hung up. The hospital I worked at, Torrance Memorial Medical Center, was hosting a get-together party. My being there was more like a miracle thanks to Raymond, my fiance who I met the first time I relocated to this city. It was so easy for him to find me a job through some connections, after learning I was a qualified doctor- although I never got to practice before I married Lawrence. Recently, some mystery businessman bought the hospital. As it were, there was a bit of a reshuffle but luckily for some staff, they were retained. Andrew, the head doctor, decided to celebrate the occasion by throwing a mini party for the hospital staff and important guests and to introduce an

CHAPTER 3

Camilla's POV. I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked into his eyes, seeing pain and regrets reflecting there. Despite everything that had happened between us, a part of me couldn't help but long for the life we could have had together. But I couldn't ignore the reality of our situation, I was now engaged. How could I still be thinking of being together with him again? The rumors, the gossip... if Lawrence found out about our children, there was no telling what he would do. But on second thought, I sighed in relief as I thought about it, he mentioned our child instead of children which showed he might just be saying. Moreover, I cannot tell him about them, I can not risk putting them in harm's way, not for anything in the world. "I'm sorry Lawrence but I don't know what you're talking about," I said softly, holding in the tears that were already burning my cheeks as I turned and fled from the room, leaving him standing there alone. I made my way through the crowded hall

CHAPTER 4

Camilla's POV."Make sure he gets 10 milligrams of morphine every four hours for the pain," I sat behind my desk with my hands trembling slightly as I instructed one of the nurses on the dosage of the medication Lawrence would need when he woke up. I was able to put myself together and perform surgery to save his life. I didn't know how I managed to pull it off but I did, my doctor instinct winning against my emotions."And don't forget to check his vitals regularly."The nurse nodded, scribbling down my instructions on a small notepad. "Got it, Dr. Camilla. Anything else I should know?"I shook my head, rubbing my temples to ward off the headache threatening to consume me."That should be all for now. Just keep an eye on him and let me know if there are any changes."The nurse nodded before hurrying off to carry out my orders. As I watched her go, my mind raced with a thousand thoughts, thoughts that ended with decisions causing me to remember I was supposed to submit a resignation

CHAPTER 5

Camilla’s POV. The next morning when I returned to the hospital, I took a deep breath before stepping into Lawrence’s room not knowing how I would be able to face him. Luckily for me, he was still sleeping to my relief. I tried to move quietly in order not to wake him up. I adjusted the IV drip beside him and as I turned to leave, his eyelids fluttered open. A low groan escaped his lips as he shifted slightly, pain flashing across his face. “Camilla…” he rasped, his voice barely audible causing me to swallow hard. “Is that really you?” I didn’t look at him right away nor give him a reply to his question. I quickly focused back on the drip, on anything but the man lying in front of me. After I was done, I tried to back away quietly, hoping he’d drift off again. But his hand shot out catching mine before I could move. “Please, Camilla,” he whispered, holding on tightly. “I need to talk to you.” I froze, then gently tried to pull away, my heart already bracing

CHAPTER 6.

Camilla's POV. I knew I was running out of time. It was either going to be George or Lawrence. After everything that transpired between us, it would be natural for me to let Lawrence go. After all, this was the man who broke my heart, I could still vividly remember the betrayal. My hands gripped tightly on the car door trying to come up with the best solution. My son needs me but so does Lawrence and from the looks of things he must be in a Critical condition. I had no intentions of forgiving him but still, he was George and Mira's father. I wondered how they'd feel if they ever found out I let their father die over some past grudge. Whatever my reasons were, I had a patient under my care who needed medical attention, and let him go against everything about my profession. I exhaled taking a deep breath and I opened the door and hurried inside my car. I fastened the keys turned up the engine and drove to the hospital with the speed of lightning. "Camilla, thank God You've

CHAPTER 7.

Camilla's POV.I held his hands tightly , hoping my words would somehow reach him , urging him to wake up but he still remains unconscious and my heart sank.Suddenly I remember I was yet to check on George and I sent for a nurse quickly."I want you to closely monitor Lawrence's condition. He needs to be watched closely for any changes," I instructed the moment the nurse strode over to my side."Yes, Doctor. I'll make sure to keep a close eye on him. What specific parameters should I monitor?" the nurse asked, her pen poised over her clipboard."Keep a close eye on his vitals, especially his blood pressure and heart rate. Also, monitor his wound for any signs of infection or complications. And please, update me regularly on his condition," i replied, my eyes scanning the nurse's face to ensure she understood the gravity of the situation."Of course, Doctor. I'll take good care of him. And don't worry, I'll keep you updated on his condition." the nurse assured me.I gave a nod,my mind

CHAPTER 8.

Camilla's POVI sat next to his bed, holding on to his hand as he slept peacefully. He had grown so fast. His features becoming more and more like that of his father.It was like yesterday when I had he and Mira. When I held them in my hand as they cried out.Tears rolled down my face, dropping on the bed as I thought of my first memory with them.Memories of their smiles, and how they held my finger in their tiny hands.I can't lose him. I can't lose George. I can't lose any of them!They have become part of my existence. I don't think I'll be able to live if I lose any of them. "I have to do something," I said to myself reassuringly. But I couldn't think of anything. I had spent the money I had saved up on a car, and asking Lawrence for help was not an option.The only thing I can do is to work. But my paycheck isn't enough to cover up for the bills, and the doctor said that George doesn't have enough time. I stared out the window, looking at the birds flapping their wings. Th

CHAPTER 9.

Camilla's POV.I woke up feeling sour. It was difficult for me to fall asleep with all the thoughts I had going on in my head.I picked up my phone was looked at the time. It was already 7 in the morning. But since my shift was by 10 am, there was no need to be in a hurry.The only thing that would make me leave for work early was if I got a call from the hospital that Lawrence had woken.That was when I realized that I had forgotten about Lawrence.I unlocked my phone and checked if any text had been sent to me, but there was none.No texts, and no calls.I knew I was not going to let him into my life anymore, but I didn't want anything to happen to him.He wasn't just a patient under my care but also the father of my twins. If anything happened to him the kids would be hurt when they found out.I wasn't planning on leaving the bed, but I had to.I stood up from the bed and walked out of the guest room. It wasn't as big as my room at home, but it was big enough for me to rest over

CHAPTER 10.

Camilla's POV.The moment I left the hospital I received a call from Dr. Andrew. He told me there was an emergency at the hospital, a kid was dying. I rushed back into the hospital. Andrew filled me in on everything. It was leukemia.The boy's dad was to be his donor and his parents wanted the surgery to be done immediately.They had discovered it late and the kid's life was in danger.The surgery was scheduled for noon. I put on my coat, gloves, and mask.The team had already prepared the theater for the surgery and then we proceeded.*To prevent any complications after the surgery, we took our time in doing it.But it was a lot harder for me.The kid was just two years older than George. During the surgery, I couldn't help but think about George, about how his surgery would go.Thoughts like, 'What if I mess it up?', and 'What if I lose him?' kept playing in my head.It echoed throughout the surgery and still is.
