All Chapters of Dr. KILLER : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Karma's POVI changed my phone number on a Thursday morning.Not because I wanted to.Because I had finally admitted to myself that I was afraid.The anonymous messages had started as an annoyance, then they became unsettling, and now they had become something much worse. Every notification made my heart race. Every unknown number made me hesitate before answering. Every message left me wondering whether someone was watching me.Changing my number felt like surrender, it also felt necessary.Only a handful of people got the new one. I stared at my new contact list for a long time, wondering if I had actually solved anything or simply delayed the inevitable.Whoever had found me once could probably find me again....My life had become unbearably complicated, Noah wanted a future with me, not someday, but now. He spoke about commitment with such certainty that it frightened me.Helena wanted me to join her in hunting predators… men who had escaped justice because of money, influence, o

Noah's POVThe first few days after Karma left my apartment were torture.Karma Kuntz had spent most of her life protecting herself. Running after letting someone get close was almost expected. What frustrated me was what came after.She disappeared, every text I sent received a reply hours later.Every phone call was answered with, "I'm in surgery." Or, "I'm at work.” Or simply, "Talk later."I knew she wasn't lying.She was just... hiding, from me, herself and most especially from us. She always created time for me amongst her busy schedule.I could have pushed harder, demanded answers, even asked whether she regretted what happened between us.Instead, I waited, because loving Karma meant understanding that every time she took a step toward me, it cost her something.Still...Waiting wasn't easy....Work usually distracted me, usually not all the time. Today it didn't.The homicide division was louder than normal, phones rang constantly, detectives walked in and out carrying files

Karma's POVLife didn't suddenly become perfect, it simply became... lighter.I still woke up before sunrise for surgeries. I still spent endless hours in operating theatres with blood on my gloves and lives resting in my hands. I still attended board meetings, signed hospital documents, and argued with consultants who thought they knew better.But somewhere between all of that… there was Noah. Without either of us talking about it, he quietly became part of my routine. He would wait outside the hospital with coffee after particularly long surgeries. Sometimes he picked me up after work and drove us to small restaurants hidden away from the city.Sometimes we never even made it to a restaurant, we bought takeaway food and sat by the harbor, watching boats drift across the water while talking about absolutely nothing.Those evenings became my favorite, I had never known life could be this peaceful."You've been smiling a lot lately." Sandra's voice startled me as she placed another pat

Noah's POVSomething was burning.I stood over the stove, frowned at the saucepan and turned the heat down. I had absolutely no business attempting a new recipe after work.I had called Karma's Secretary earlier today, when she wasn't answering her calls and she had told me that Karma is a surgery that would take hours. So I'd already expected that I won't see her today. So I decided to surprise her another day.When I got back from the office not too long ago, I had already messaged her and told her to go home and rest, I can just imagine how tired she was.Besides, I needed the distraction, work had been unbearable. The investigation department had spent the entire morning drowning in paperwork after a series of coordinated raids, and my partner, Ethan Brooks, had forgotten an important case file at the station.His wife volunteered to bring it over."You don't have to," Ethan said he had told her, but she said she was already on her way here. At the very least, I'm a bit close to h

Karma's POVI broke every speed limit on the way to the hospital.By the time I pulled into the staff parking lot, my hands were trembling so badly I almost dropped my car keys.The entire drive, one thought had replayed over and over in my mind, Sandra had never sounded like that before. Not once. She was calm even during the worst emergencies.But this morning… there had been fear in her voice, real fear.I hurried through the hospital entrance, barely acknowledging the nurses who greeted me. The familiar smell of antiseptic, disinfectant and coffee wrapped around me like it always did, but today it brought me no comfort.My heart pounded painfully against my ribs. Sandra was already waiting for me near the reception desk. The moment she saw me, she walked toward me without smiling which frightened me even more."What happened?" I asked before I even reached her. She looked at me for a long second."Come with me.""Sandra." I said with a stern look filled with more dread than anythi
