My Secret Patient Novels & Stories

No matter how hard I tried or how many excuses I came up with, I still had to take Sasha with me to the hospital. The little one insisted he knew a secret that could make a sick person feel better right away. He guarded that secret carefully and stubbornly kept silent the entire way to the hospital, hiding it in the pocket of his shorts. Still, the stick and a torn piece of candy wrapper were sticking out, giving everything away. Fortunately, the nurse at the reception desk was different this time. A friendly young woman greeted us. Smiling from behind the small window, she told us that the patient currently had a visitor but that we were welcome to go in.

I looked at the two beds and swallowed. “I am willing for us to go fifty fifty but I would prefer that you be a silent partner.” I said as I pushed off the couch. I wore sweats which the attending doctor handed to me after I walked in here wearing only briefs. “What happened, Hendrix? I thought you finally had the funding secured. You worked your ass off for years for this.”

I reached for the handle of the door, and without thinking twice, I pushed it open. The second I got into the room, I found the doctor I had been looking for, my heart racing rapidly. “Luna… you are finally awake!” He bowed his head in respect as he saw me. I wasn't sure what he was doing, but I needed to make him understand one thing: my secret must be kept. “Yes, yes… thanks to your treatment!” I chuckled nervously as I walked closer to where he was standing. “You know, Luna… you shouldn't be here. You should be resting!” He explained with a smile on his face.

And I was waiting for him. I stared at the covers of the numerous films that had achieved international success through NewScene, displayed in the center of the studio. Jamie had scheduled another meeting, and it seemed like I had arrived too early. The truth was, I couldn’t stand being locked up in my house for so long, doing absolutely nothing. "You're Mia Lauren, right?" A familiar male face stopped in front of me. I recognized him from somewhere. "Yes. I am." I smiled shyly. "And you are..."

He asked. “Come closer” I said, signaling with my fingers that he edges closer to me. “Did you tell anyone about my secret?” I whispered. He paused, stared at me wide eyed “No, no, that’s doctor, patient confidentiality” he answered “I would never do such a thing” he said plainly. “Well..I can’t say that I believe you but..if I find out that someone else heard it from you, you’ll be gone” I said, using my hands to my neck as an illustration.

~ Sebastian's POV ~ I sat quietly in front of the doctor in her office, the cold steel armrest of the chair pressing against my skin as I gripped it absentmindedly. The room filled with a faint medicinal scent, and a clock ticked steadily in the background. Everything felt slow, like time itself was holding its breath. My mind, though, refused to be still. She's awake now. Helen's awake. That alone calmed the storm inside me. The doctor cleared her throat softly before speaking, her eyes meeting mine with practiced professionalism.

I keyed in the code, pressed my palm flat to the scanner, and the locks hissed open like a beast waking. Inside, the air shifted. It was cool, sterile, humming with machines worth more than empires. The room was a private clinic hidden in plain sight, walls lined with silent monitors, security cameras winking red. Two uniformed doctors rose immediately when I entered, bowing their heads before disappearing into the side chamber. This was my domain. My secret. My power. Estelle clutched her pearls, eyes darting to every corner. And then she saw the bed. Estelle gasped, her face whitening. “Oh no.."

"I didn't introduce myself; forgive my manners. I am Damian—Doctor Damian, to be precise." He was the hot guy I bumped into at the hospital who turned out to be a doctor, Dr. Damian to be specific. I thought his name sounded familiar. Was it Ruth who spoke of him? Oh yes, it was; he was the hot doctor she kept telling me about, I thought.

I could return to my normal days as a nurse knowing I had a special secret with three powerful men who would come whenever I called them. But as I reached my car my phone buzzed with a new message. I opened it and my heart jumped. It was from an unknown number. The message read, “We know what you have been doing after hours, Miss Clara. The clinic has cameras. We want a private consultation with you next week… or everyone finds out.” I stared at the screen in shock. My secret remedy was supposed to end on my terms but someone else had been watching.

“I'll tell you when the time is right, but right now, the person threatening you is a bigger problem than my family history.” Charlotte's frustration was obvious. “That isn't fair,” she replied as she shook her head. “You're asking me to trust you while keeping things from me, and now someone is using your secrets against both of us.” “I know,” I said as I moved around the desk. “And I'm not asking you to pretend that's easy. I'm telling you I'll explain everything when I know I can do it without putting you in more danger.” I picked up my phone and called my security chief to come.
