All Chapters of VITALS RISING: DR. NOLAN WILL SEE YOU NOW : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 11ARIA’S POVI almost lost it the moment I saw Candy standing there, her face was lit with that sly, poisonous smile that always makes my stomach twist. And then, the next second, she referred to Nora as my child. My breath caught my throat when she said that…. My chest tightened. But I didn’t back down. I refused to give her the satisfaction of a reaction that she wanted. I didn’t tell her the truth. I didn’t even bother to open my mouth to explain that Nora isn’t my daughter. Candy doesn’t deserve to know what is inside my heart. My private life isn’t a show for her entertainment.I forced myself to breathe in and Out. My nails bit into my palms as I clenched my fists under the table. I looked at her and spoke as calmly as I could, even though my voice trembled. I told her I didn’t like what she was saying. But she only tilted her chin higher as her eyes gleaming with the thrill of the hunt. She was trying to intimidate me, to humiliate me, and I hated it.And that was w

CHAPTER 13ARIA'S POVActually, I really did want to take the number from him. At first it sounded harmless—just a membership thing, a way to get those sweet discounts for cakes and candies. My mind wasn’t even thinking about anything else….even though his voice had a playful tone, a little too smooth, maybe even a bit seductive, but I ignored the flutter it caused in my stomach. All I could picture was Nora’s happy face if we got more cakes after lessons, or if I surprised her with candies on a rainy afternoon. And if a membership card meant more of that sugary happiness, why not?But then, before I could even spell my number, I noticed something. Dr. Nolan. The way he suddenly stiffened beside me. The way his shoulders tightened as if he was holding back an invisible storm of his anger.His jawline sharpened, and the muscles on his jaw clenched slightly. His eyes…oh God, those eyes were no longer calm and warm. They carried a spark, and a flicker of something wild and possessive.

CHAPTER 15ARIA’S POVIt's been so many weeks—let’s just say two weeks ever since I haven’t seen him. I’ve been trying to message him on Facebook. He’s not responding. He won’t reply. I message him on WhatsApp. He will see, but he won’t respond…like snub! I even checked his social media pages. Nothing. Not a single sign of acknowledgment. He sees my messages, marks them as read, but that’s it. No reply or a hint of communication from him. I’ve been going to the studio to lecture Nora, but he’s not always the one coming to pick her up. Whenever I ask Nora, she tells me that her uncle said he’s very busy. So I don’t know what he’s thinking, what he’s planning, or why he’s acting this way. And yes, I’ve been going to the obstetric department for scans… but don’t worry, you’ll hear the full story later. For now, just know I’ve been going there.Today, I went there, and I got news that made my heart flutter and i could feel the butterfliesin my belly.. The nurse looked at me with a ki

CHAPTER 17ARIA’S POVI knew it!my mind was just hovering around Candy. I knew that she was the one who might have tried to hurt me. She must have been the one. No one else….even if there was someone else, there's no on who could have possibly orchestrated this to ruin me. Maybe she was working with someone to bring me down, and to destroy my career. My passion for dancing, and being a ballet dancer and a teacher had been my dream since I was a child. And now, after finally opening my small studio, posting my videos online, I have started receiving recognition. The higher authorities from various dancing competitions had noticed me and had even sent messages encouraging me to apply.And now, Candy has become a problem for me. Somehow, the complaint reached the wrong ears, and I was sure that the rejection I had received was because of the rumors about me from high school. That must have been the reason. But I was determined. I would not let this stop me. I had to go to the reunion

CHAPTER 19ARIA’S POVOK, guys, I’m gonna be very honest with you all right now: I’m not getting a single thing he is saying. From the day he told me he was talking about pregnancy, then the next thing I heard it was about the father, and now he’s talking about maternity—was his entire world revolving around being pregnant? What did he mean by that? I couldn’t understand a single thing.“Pregnancy… pregnancy… pregnancy,” I muttered under my breath, my mind spinning. He kept talking about something else, about the first trimester, and then he mentioned that he wasn’t just a dermatologist, but he also knows a lot about maternity. My eyes widened. “What do you mean by that, Doctor? Did you even hear what I’m saying?” I asked, my voice rising slightly, a mix of disbelief and frustration.That’s when he finally looked at me, his expression calm but serious, and said, “OK, Miss Aria, I’m going to be frank with you. You don’t have to pretend anymore because I already know what’s wrong wit
