“The director would like to see you, Dr. Patel,” the small woman announced, dressed in a formal nurse outfit, and left.Ava groaned, what did he want now?After knocking, she was invited in. The name tag on his desk read Director Mark Bryson. A strict African American who attained his height as the director through nepotism.Ava heaved a painful sigh and cursed inwardly at the sight of her superior, Dr. Luke standing next to director Bryson with a plaster on his nose bridge.With a hand gesture, director Bryson offered her a seat.Ava decided to apologize first “Director Bry—”“Ava” he cut in, using her first name instead of her designation and last name. “Who are you to Dr. Luke?” He askedAva held her tongue, what kind of question is this? She asked inwardly. Men here in the hospital were infamous for always belittling women and that's what the director was trying to do now.“I am his subordinate, Sir,” she answered brilliantly.“Inferior,” Director Bryson corrected, “Ava you're inf

She analyzed the information concerning everything. It turned out that whoever the employers were, they needed a care assistant for a sick person.“Hmm, seems….pretty legit” Ava assured herself. Taking care of sick people was literally her job, plus the amount being offered a month was bigger than her salary at the hospital.Ava waved her hand and snorted, regardless of the price, she'll keep working at the hospital as a doctor. She was, after all, passionate about medicine.Without wasting any time, she dialed the number. “Good day,” Ava spoke first as soon as the line connected.“I see you've discovered our job ad, thank you for reaching out. Text your email to this number and a form will be sent. Sign at the bottom. You can start from Monday” the woman spoke.Ava paced back and forth in her room. It was a habit of hers to move about whenever she was on the phone. She blinked a few times at the woman's words, was that it?“Um, what about the address?” She askedThere was a short sil

“Excuse me, did you say Blackwood?” Ava asked, her eyes widened. James nodded. “You mean THE Blackwood?” The renowned wealthy family that has been in the upper-ups for generations? She asked again, to confirmJames nodded with an acknowledging smile “Yes Miss Patel”This is unbelievable! She thought to herself. In all her life, she never believed she would step feet in a place others considered sacred…..but who was sick and in need of a PCA?The majestic doors opened wide, and as though waiting for her arrival, Ava was greeted by three people.She knew two out of the three. Standing right before her was the mistress of Blackwood, Thelma Blackwood, wife of the late Lucas Blackwood.On her left was her second son, Kain, the second young master of the Blackwood family.These two, Ava knew them, but the woman on Mrs Thelma's right was unfamiliar.Of all of them, the blonde busty woman had on a mocking smile with her arms folded across her chest.There she was, Ava Patel, standing like an

“Mr Liam! What is the meaning of this?” Ava jerked up. Under his bed was a pile of sour meals. They were very slimy, and some had grown molds over them. No wonder the room smelt, under his bed were all his spoiled foods.Liam's ears tingled listening to her quickened steps. Mr Liam….how interesting.“Are you deliberately dumping all your food under your bed? Do you know how unhygienic that is? No wonder your room stinks so much; you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?..”She scolded him but he kept calm and replied “I am crippled and I am blind, it is because I cannot do anything that's why you can speak to me in the manner you like”Ava pinched her temples, her raged tone faltering. “Even if you weren't of prestige status, I'll still scold you. This is really bad for you. Do you wanna die in the dirt? Cause I don't want to..”“If it's bothering you, use the door,” he said rudely. Ava clenched her jaw, suppressing the sudden urge to strangle him. She stomped back to his bed. “I'm n

Was it a mistake? ‘what is the meaning of this?’ She asked herself. On the plate was a combination of different spoiled food; the vegetables on it were soggy, and the fish had maggots coming in and out of it. Maybe it's a mistake; maybe they meant to throw it away and not serve it to their eldest son, or maybe they accidentally put this in a well-covered plate accompanied by fancy cutleries and a silver tray. Ava blinked; the food already had an odor. This can't even be a leftover meal; more like they picked it out of the trash. It was nothing compared to the sumptuous meal served on the table. Ava gulped, she was confused. She looked at Thelma who had gone back to eating. Sensing her stare, Thelma looked up and locked eyes with Ava. “Why are you still here? Is something the matter?” She askedHer question caused the blonde woman and the second son to look at her. Ava averted her eyes and answered, “No.”Her mind was flooded with questions while heading back to Liam's room. She c

Liam's face contorted in anger, but Ava ignored, lifting her hand to feed him. Liam grasped her wrist tightly and twisted it, causing the spoon to fall off. Ava winced in pain “Hey! That hurts!” Liam's grip tightened, his voice in a low growl, he said “I told you, I'm not hungry”Liam left Ava's wrist and rode himself back to the window. Ava stared at the red marks on her wrist and sighed quietly “A tough one huh,”Ava ate the meal herself while shrugging with the thought ‘You can't stay stubborn forever Mr Liam, sooner or later, your stomach will grumble’After eating, Ava stood up. “Mr Liam,” she called out and got no response. She continued “If you're feeling sleepy, I can help you lie down” Liam said nothing. Ava sighed deeply, even though he looked like he was putting up a fight because he was violent; in reality, he was just frustrated. This time, Ava didn't force him, she left in search of James. James explained that he was the one who usually helped Liam lie on the bed and

Chapter 7

After what seemed like hours of waiting, Ava decided to exit her room to Liam's. She assumed he must've calmed down by now.She opened the door and to her surprise, he was lying on the bed with his face up. Ava drew closer; his eyes were open, but she couldn't tell if he was awake or not.Ava's eyes wandered around his face, his defined jawline, the dark circles underneath his eyes, his bedhead hair, and thin lips —He truly was good-looking—Unknowingly, Ava leaned in, her face minutes away from his. Liam could feel her subtle breaths on his face and get calm stare but he remained quiet and still.In that moment, something happened. There was a sudden flash in Liam's eyes. His heart raced as the image quickly ran through his eyes. For a moment there, he could see!It was in an instant but he felt like he saw something magical. Maybe it was a dream? The image played over and over causing his heart to beat in a scattered rhythm.Her face was just above his, her loose silver hair cascadi

Chapter 8

Finn was already leaving, and Liam was in his wheelchair. Thelma's anxious gaze darted from Liam to Finn. Finn smiled “I was just about to leave” “How is his health? Any improvement?” Thelma asked in a hurry. Ava joined in, she still didn't understand why Thelma and Evie looked worried. If they hated Liam, why were they pretending to care then?Finn's smile faltered. “I'm afraid not, Madam Thelma. The pain around his eyes has increased abnormally and decreased the chances of him ever seeing again. I'll prescribe new drugs for him, so don't worry too much.” Finn assured. Though Thelma was able to hide the relief she felt, Ava saw it all on Evie's face. Hearing that Liam's condition worsened, instead of being worried, Evie was sighing in relief. How odd….it made Ava wonder, who exactly was the blonde woman?Thelma nodded “Thank you, Dr Louis. Allow me to see you out,” said Thelma, and she left with Finn and Evie. Ava walked in and closed the door behind her. She sat on Liam's bed.

Chapter 9

The container in which the salt was stored was half empty. Ava stared at it in disbelief. ‘Lyla has been a hand full’ she thought inwardly while making a new meal. ‘Someone needs to teach her a lesson’ She got to Liam's room with a bowl of oats and milk. “You took forever.” Said Liam once he heard the door. Ava let out a small smile. “There were some….. distractions.” She stood, facing the back of his wheelchair, which was by the window. “I've brought your meal” Liam, using the controls, turned to face Ava. “It's a shame you'll have to feed me. I can't use my hands” he shrugged his shoulders. “What? Since when?” Ava asked, giving his ‘non-working’ hands a once over. They seemed fine to her. “You don't believe me?” Liam asked. There was no harm in feeding him, Ava thought. To her, Liam barely liked her so why would he ask to be fed by her? Maybe he was telling the truth. “Okay, it's fine” Ava sighed in defeat and sat down opposite him. She started to feed him. Liam didn't fight

Chapter 10

Ava didn't need a second thought to know she could trust Kain. She believed he was among the few who truly cared for Liam. But a part of her wanted to be discreet about Liam's condition. Being Thelma's biological son, Kain might end up spilling it to her. Liam would think Ava betrayed him. Ava smiled. “I know you're worried. I am too. But he's going to be fine.” Her words brought a deep frown to Kain's face. He thought by now he should've gotten through to Ava. Her words were too few, he needed a definite answer. Liam wouldn't call in Doctor Louis himself if there wasn't an improvement. Kain needed to know. He needed Ava to trust him more. “Thank you,” said Kain, his voice laced with gratitude. At least, now he knows he has a lot of work to do. Ava might not be as timid as she looked. They got to Liam's room and Ava thanked Kain. The lights were still out, but unlike in her bedroom, Liam's had a few candles. First thing first, Ava lit up the candles. She walked up to where Liam l
