Public Enemies But Secret Lovers (1)

“Dr. Raven.” A nurse yells as she rushes to my side.I glance up, fighting the urge to rub my aching muscles and crack my neck. “What is it?”“An emergency patient just got wheeled in.”Of course, they did.“Let someone else handle it.”“All the other doctors are busy.”Of course, they are.Sometimes, I wonder why I had to choose emergency medicine of all the specialization I could have chosen.“Let's go.” I say and wave to the nurse to lead the way.If my legs could speak, they would yell at me to find a chair and balance my ass prettily instead of trying to save another dying specie of the human population.“What do we have here?” A male doctor brushes past me, heading straight to one of the emergency stalls.I roll my eyes, pretending not to notice him. The last thing I want at the moment is to deal with Niklaus. He is the most overbearing, annoying, and unnecessarily intelligent doctor I've ever known.“What is going on here?” I turn to the nurse.She blushes, probably hating hers

Public Enemies But Secret Lovers (2)

“Thank you.” I mutter as I receive the package.I don't even know that he remembers my birthday. It has been a busy day that I didn't tell anyone at work. I didn't know that he knew and cared.“Thank you.” I say again, flicking back the tears stinging my eyes.He clears his throat. “I'm not a beast anymore, right?”I laugh. “Oh! You are still a beast.”He laughs, throwing his head back. “I thought I've been able to bribe you.”I smirk. “Not enough.”“Will this be enough though?” He says, leaning in.My heart beat picks up speed.Before I can blink, he wraps his hand around my neck and pulls me closer. His lips come down on mine and capture mine in a kiss that leaves me reeling with desire and shock.What was that?He smiles as he raises his head. “Which of your birthday gifts do you like?”“What!” I mutter, brain turned to mush.I can't think properly.He looks at me with a satisfied smirk, knowing exactly what he did to me. “Do you go around kissing every girl on her birthday?” I fr

Fake Love Turns Real (1)

I glance at my phone with disinterest, watching as it rings. It's normal for it to ring. It's my birthday after all. And it's normal for me not to pick the call. It's my phone.What is not normal though is my mum calling repeatedly for the past twenty minutes and still not stopping.I dare to check the phone when it stops ringing. Forty-eight missed calls.I pout, knowing that the count is right. I had even thought that the calls would be more than that.As if she senses where she is that I'm closer to the phone, she starts calling again. I sigh, wondering how many minutes she is going to call for this time.I pick the call, finally pitying my poor phone. I don't need my phone blowing up, especially not today when I feel so messed up.My manager walks in with a hefty pile of files. “I need this done before you leave, Ember.”I roll my eyes. Of course, he doesn't remember that it's my birthday even though a few colleagues had wished me this morning right in his presence. His wicked p

Fake Love Turns Real (2)

I can't tell mum that I lied. It's too late for that now.. If I know her well, the whole city has probably heard about my upgraded relationship status two seconds after ending the call with me.It will kill her to find out that I had lied to her. It will kill me too to tell her that I lied to her.My dear. That was what she said afterward. I can't remember the last time she had said that. It was always daughter, girl, lady or old maid. I don't want to go back to that girl her mother isn't proud of.I munch on my abandoned pizza, thinking of what to do. My mind flicks to the memory of a conversation I've overheard at work and I smile at my luck.Dropping my pizza once again, I pick up my phone, download the app and book myself a male escort for Sunday.With a satisfied smile on my face, I turn to my pizza, munching happily and wishing that Sunday will come quickly.“Oh my!” I gasp as I open the door and stare at the man on my doorstep. “You look good, Cole.”His pictures don't do him j

Fake Love Turns Real (3)

“Thank you for saving my ass.” I giggle nervously as Cole drops me at home after the hangout with my mum and my friends, which gratefully went well without any hiccup.I wanted to call a cab to lick my embarrassed wounds in peace but he insisted on dropping me at home that he didn't mind, and to further cement our relationship in case one of mum's friends was lurking around and staring at us.“It is a fine ass I don't mind saving.”I feel as if his eyes dart to my ass but I doubt that. There is nothing impressive about my ass to look at.I blush. “Thank you.”If not for him, I would be crying and begging my mum on my knees for lying to her.“You are welcome.”His eyes seem to darken as they glance at me. I write it off as my imagination.“Okay.” I say, at a loss of what to say.He isn't making any move to leave and I don't want to be the first to leave. It feels rude to do that after what he did for me.“Uhm, I should go.” He says.I nod, wishing he won't have to. “Bye, Ember.” I no

The Defiled Altar (1)

He groans as I push him against the wall the moment he opens the door, my mouth crashing down on it.“Wait!” He struggles to push me off. “What are you doing?”“Kissing the man I love.” I whisper, pulling him back to me and desperate to have him shut up so I can kiss him properly.He isn't ready to shut up though and neither does he seem willing to kiss me. I know he wants to. I can see it in the way his eyes glow with desire as he looks at me. The only thing stopping him is his guilt, the emotion I threw away before stomping to his house.He shakes his head. “We shouldn't do this. You are getting married to my friend tomorrow.”“Exactly why we should do this now.” I argue. “Do you want me to come to you when I'm married? Do you want me to commit adultery?”He winces as I speak, hating just as I do that I'm getting married to a man who isn't him. It doesn't matter that it's his friend, I know that Jonathan isn't happy to let go of me.“I gave you up the moment you got engaged to my fr

The Defiled Altar (2)

“Did you also get a text from Jordan?” I ask as I stare at Jonathan.He nods, already getting to his feet. He extends his hand to me and pulls me up. I dress up, forcing myself not to worry.Why would he text me and Jonathan at the same time?Does he know already about my relationship with Jonathan? Does he know that I'm here with his friend? My heart squeezes with panic and I force myself to calm down. As if sensing my emotions, Jonathan slips his hand into mine and squeezes gently.“It is well.”I hope so. I nod and smile at him.My heart slams loudly as I walk into my fiance’s family's house with Jonathan. He has wanted us to go separately but I am adamant about not wasting a moment of my final days to be with him.My eyes widen as I see my parents seated but I quickly mask the surprise I feel.“Dad! Mum!” I greet. “What a delight to see you here.”Mum smiles at me. “We can't say no to Jordan's request to have a family dinner before you two become a married couple.”Speaking of J

Debtor Debtor (1)

I watch with wide eyes as the strange man barges into my father's living room, his stance overpowering and intimidating. I watch with wider eyes as my father jumps out of the couch, scrambles to the floor and starts whimpering at the sight of him. Damn, he hasn't said a word and a leaf on the ocean rolled about by waves has more composure than my father.I don't have to be told that there is trouble.My lips start trembling and my body shivers with fright even though I have no business with him.I don't even know who he is. I'm about to find out and when I do, I regret coming home for the break.“Where is my money?” He glares at my dad, his leg placed on the table while the second stays on the ground.My father swallows before forcing choked words out. “I don't have… I don't have it yet.”The intimidating stranger barks out a loud laugh. “You certainly don't want to tell me that.”My father shakes visibly. “I promise I will pay back next week.”The stranger leans forward, his lips al
