All Chapters of My OB-GYN My Undoing : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The hospital corridors were filled with fluorescent lights and the steady interruption of pagers, business as usual, except for the tension rising behind Alaric’s doorI had slipped in through the staff entrance at 2:45, the sapphire pendant was clung to my throat.The burner phone in my pocket kept reminding me of everything that I have been through lately.Elias thought I was at a client lunch; his tracking app was happily reporting my location at some midtown bistro.But I wasn’t there. I was here, just because Alaric’s message had come through an hour earlier.The message was short and unsettling:Helena’s landing at JFK. Meeting at 3. Stay away.Of course I didn’t. Curiosity or maybe jealousy got hold of me and wouldn't let go.I sneaked in and hid in the adjacent supply closet.I opened the door a little so that I could be able to see and hear them.My heart was beating so fast that I could swear I thought for a second that it would give me away.The elevator dinged at 3:02. Hee

Morning light slipped through the blinds of Elias’s penthouse, striping the room and resting on my face as I was facing the window.He was already dressed up, in a well ironed suit and a dark blue tie to match his outfit.His well was neatly combed. He looked smart and handsome, not gonna lie.He kissed my forehead before leaving for his “meetings,” the kiss was quiet and quick.He stood still as his eyes searched my face when he pulled back, like he was looking for a tell or maybe any small crack that would give me out.Then he sighed. I remembered yesterday night and how I had managed to sneak in immediately Alaric dropped me off.Thank heavens that I wasn't caught. I was scared for my messed up life.The door clicked shut behind him as he left for work. I waited for about ten long minutes, well I had already decided on how to spend my day today.I decided to go see Mariel. It's been forever since I saw her.Then I grabbed my bag, and put some essential girls things that I will be

The ride back home went on as usual, with trees running past us, and cars moving up and down, the road was just busy.The city lights were shining in different bright beautiful colours.Inside the car, Elias was breathing hard. His face was hardened. He was muttering curses occasionally.He was bitter and furious. His hand never left my thigh, his grip was very strong all through the entire time.It was aching me, and I knew for sure that there would be marks there. He was holding me possessively, claiming me.I stared out of the window, watching the city lines of the city lights, but my body still felt tingling from Alaric's touch. I still remembered Alaric’s touch at the restaurant, gentle, sweet, a spark that left tenderness under my skin. Beside me, Elias wasn't happy, his anger eeh, It was just too much. And it's making me suffocate.Some part of me was scared, but another part, the twisted crazy one, wondered if it would erase the ache Alaric had left behind.Immediately we go

Alaric drove me to his office, offered me a cup of coffee then went ahead to check those files.I kept on pacing the room like a jobless person. Well technically I am.My head wasn’t there. It kept spinning, jumping from one thought to another. I texted Mariel that I’d be back soon, I just needed to help Alaric sort through some files.Alaric’s office at St. Lucia looked less like a workplace and more like a war room. Charts were spread everywhere. The coffee was untouched, and already cold. Three monitors glowed in the dim room, their light reflecting harshly on his face as he worked.He hadn’t slept.On one screen there were details of Helena's vote and also for Niko.At 5:14 a.m., an alert came in.It was about unauthorized access to archived patient files.What Alaric did was to trace the access. The IP was familiar, which was forged through a secret system to make it look clever.But it was rushed and detectable.He didn’t need to guess.Elias.The color drained from Alaric’s

I managed to ignore Elias and make it back to Mariel’s apartment.Her place felt like a sanctuary with mismatched mugs on every surface, with fairy lights kept carelessly on the walls. It was the kind of place where secrets felt safer after being talked about, and laughed over under blankets and drunk over with wine.For the first time all day, I could breathe.I’d been crashing on her couch for three days.Every notification I got on my phone made me flinch.I had been waiting for Alaric's next move after that confrontation in the garage back then.Elias hadn’t texted since, no calls, no threats. The silence felt worse than his anger.Mariel came back from work that evening with her laptop back slung carelessly on her shoulders.I rolled my eyes looking at it. This girl needs to start paying attention to her appearance. Or I swear I will pair her up with some random dude.Her eyes were bright with the kind of curiosity that always spelled trouble.Here we go.“Okay,” she said, dr
