Athena Valentini Nurse Novels & Stories

“My sister might be pregnant. The father is my scumbag ex who dumped me after I lost our baby. She is NOT walking in there alone. End of story.” The nurse blinked hard, looked at Valentina’s scared face, then back at Katherina’s death glare. “Fine,” she sighed. “Only two of you.” Amelia gave a small smile. “I’ll wait. You two go.” Katherina grabbed Valentina’s hand like it was a lifeline. “Let’s do this.” --- EXAM ROOM – FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER Valentina perched on the crinkly paper-covered table, legs swinging like a nervous kid.

Gianna’s voice echoing through the hallway, Valentina shushing her even though there are already three crying babies announcing their presence to the world. “Elena,” Gianna says breathlessly as she steps into the living room, eyes immediately going soft. “You look tired.” “I am tired,” I say honestly. She smiles. “Good. That means you’re doing it right.” Valentina sets her bag down quietly and washes her hands without being told. She always does things like that…..no drama, no fuss. Just help. “Which one needs me?” she asks. Before I can answer, Marcella lets out a sharp cry, red-faced and angry like the world personally offended her.

I was gently laid on the bed, and the doctor took a blood sample for testing to ensure there were no adverse side effects from the unknown substance that knocked me out. Papa sat by my bedside, staring intently at me. I looked at Papa's back, which was no longer upright, as though he had aged years in a single night. "I'm fine, Papa." Papa's eyes immediately welled up with tears after hearing that. "Thank goodness you're alright, Valentina. Your Mamma's death anniversary is only five days away. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't even dare go pay my respects to your Mamma. You must take proper precautions when you go out from now on, Valentina."

When I opened my eyes, I found myself locked in the underground storage room of the Valentino family hospital. Renato's sister stood at the door. Gritting my teeth against the pain, I crawled toward it and called for help. Sophia Valentino turned around. There was no trace of urgency on her face—only something strange in her gaze. "Ellen, don't blame Renato," she said. "He was afraid you'd go out and cause trouble, so he asked me to watch you."

But was any amount of money worth enduring a stubborn, difficult billionaire patient like him? From the way Ms. Paltz spoke about him and how the rest of the staff avoided even mentioning his name, it was clear: Kylian was cruel, demanding, and impossible to please. No one lasted long in this role. I was probably just the latest in a long line of broken nurses who had walked through these doors with hope, only to leave defeated. I glanced up at him. His head was turned stubbornly to the side, refusing to cooperate as I gently checked the mobility and swelling around his joints. The pain in his expression was evident, yet he still fought me every step of the way.

I knew everything about her even before she arrived. “Athena Valerio.” She extended her right hand for a shake. “Luciano Ballarino,” I said as I shook her hand. “So Luciano, for this to work, we need to set some boundaries. I am Romano’s collateral but that doesn’t make me your slut. For the eight months that am going to be staying here, you can not touch me or…” “Or what? You’ll call the police?” She's straightforward, I'll give her that but too straightforward for her good. It’s upsetting to have someone talk to me so bluntly, I wasn’t used to it and I hated it.

That just wasn’t in her nature. Stupid girl. Athena was never one to cower from a fight, not even when she knew it was a trap like I made her go through every fucking time. I scooped her away from my mother’s arms and cradled her. My vision already blurred from the tears that formed. “Athena, look at me. Please look at me.” I sang desperately as the tears began to fall. She was chocking, she was not healing. That fucking bullet was a curse and she wasn’t healing.

CHAPTER FIVE He moved towards her,and bethany begin to back away from him,she looked around that's when she realized what made the Salvador's run. She knew this guard from the orphanage, she just hoped he doesn't recognize her. "Who are you and what are you doing here?."He asked her. "I don't know."I said ,I could see him looking around if anyone was near. "Well, well what do we do with you now.?"he said slowly.

"But I can't believe you don't know Toby, the Beta to Alpha Lorenzo." "No, I'm serious. I don't know him. This is the first time I'm hearing his name." "It's fine," I muttered, shrugging my shoulders. "It could happen." I watched as a nurse approached us, her presence catching us off guard. "Are you her guardian?" she asked Thelma, her eyes scrutinizing. Thelma nodded, taking a deep breath. "Yes, I am." The nurse's expression turned serious. "Are you ready to settle her bills?"

A NEW LIFE. Giordana. "Hi, Miss Quinton, How are y'all doing today?" The chocolate skinned nurse asked as I trudged into the hospital. Smiling, I waved at the ever-friendly Nurse Marla, who had been a very wonderful help to me since I started working at the hospital. "We're all good but tired," I replied in a weary tone. "Oh, I can see that, I'll come to give you a foot massage later," she chirped to which I smiled in appreciation.
