“S-Sebastian..?”Sebastian pointed his gun at me with merciless expression. I grew pale as he clenched his jaw. I could see the hesitation flicker in his eyes— that he didn’t want to do this, but he had no choice to. He was wary. “W-Wait, Sebastian… why are you…”“What are you doing in here, Kierra?”I looked at him with wide eyes, I shook my head in horror. “W-Wait… what are you thinking? I came here for you!”“You’re speaking to him.”“I needed to know where you are.”Kaspian cackled behind me. Soon enough, more Vipers came into the scene and encircled us. I gripped onto my own clothes as I didn’t have Sebastian’s gun with me anymore. It was nowhere to be found.Kaspian grabbed me from behind by the waist and pulled me into his arms. I revolted, trying to get away from him as he rested his chin on my shoulder, just behind my neck. “What the hell are you doing?! Get off me!” I retaliated, trying to unhand myself from his grasp, but Kaspian was too strong.But he didn’t pay no mind

TWO YEARS AFTER“Congratulations on your graduation, Doctor Evans.”I shook the hand of the professor that believed me all these years. She was an elderly woman, always so cheerful and undestanding of me even if I took several gap years from medical school. Yes, you heard it right— medical school.I finally got the courage to finish the profession I had fallen in love with. Though it took a ripe age of twenty-seven to finally finish it, thank God, I finally did. I clutch my diploma with a big smile as I bid my professors goodbye. Tomorrow, I start with my residency training and I am incredibly nervous.I walked out of the university with a sense of purpose. Finally! I have become something I’ve always dreamt to be! Though it look an entire loan for me to get here, I was finally proud that I get a headstart on making a living for my own.I clutch my pendant and glanced at Lily’s picture. It was worn and faded, and my daughter’s features are nearly gone—but I remember them vividly in

I felt like shit on my residency training.On my first day, I almost got late for work and I was feeling the hungover from head to toe. I could barely concentrate in the orientation in the hospital, and when I was asked questions, I couldn’t even recall if I answered them right.Unlike anything, I couldn’t possible make an excuse of being sick. Obviously, my coworkers are doctors so making such a false diagnosis would probably get my ass kicked. When the orientation was over, I took a break on a small cafe across the hospital. I just needed the time to gather my thoughts and sleep before coming back in again to finish transferring some of my things into the office. I start tomorrow, so I need to get this all done today.It didn’t help that my head was ringing loudly.I ordered my usual drink and settle myself in a seat outside. There, I took my time sipping my drink. When I finished, I was about to nap, when I spot a familiar face outside. A boy, now more grown, surrounded by two ot

“Kie, are you okay?” Alessio comforted me as he stroked my hair. I’ve been too depressed lately to even smile so the two of them brought me to a small restaurant for dinner. They figured I was desperate to have someone to talk to, so I took the offer. I told them everything. From coming home to flowers to Desmond Hail visiting me. “Of course she’s not okay.” Alexandrei crossed his arm against his broad chest. “She’s just faced her abuser.” “Kierra, if we can find something to prove that Desmond abused you, we can make the magic happen and let the court prosecute him.” “It’s happened more than ten years ago, Alessio.” I told him. “I have no proof.” Alessio and Alexandrei looked at one another, sad. “Kie, just tell us if there’s anything we can help at all. Like anything!” I smiled at them and buried my head against my arms, “I just kind of want to rest.” Alessio smacked Alexandrei’s arm and he sighed, “I’ll take you home then, Kierra. It’s late already.” I nod at Alexandrei an

I stared at the bouquet of flowers that the cleaners had brought to my office from the storeroom. After Sebastian’s shenanigans, I couldn’t find him elsewhere. Not that I was looking for him. Perhaps it’s for the better that he left soon. I buried my head against my arms as I thought carefully of his words this afternoon. “I never stopped loving you, Kierra.” It bamboozled me to hear that he still cared. I didn’t know he liked me, too. But I knew it was only a ploy. A ploy to gain my trust and be in his life again, something I had escaped. “Doctor, there’s a call for you.” I groggily lifted my head and took the telephone from one of the staff before pressing it against my ear. “Hello?” I listened closely. I can hear what seems to be crying in the background, a commotion— chaos. It got me standing. “Who is this?” “Kierra!” a voice from behind the call beamed. It was Alexandrei. “The professor has been shot!” I quickly grabbed my keys from the holster. “W-What? Where ar
