Chapter 1Aria’s POV“Next person! Miss Aria Scott, please go over to room 100 for allergy…that is dermatology, down the hallway on your right.”The nurse shouted as her voice echoed across the waiting hall, jolting me from the restless scratching of my shoulder. I sprang to my feet immediately and walked to the counter; she gave me a card with my name written on it. “Thank you,” I murmured quickly. She gave me a kind smile, the sort of smile that made you feel safe, but even if the smile was warm, that wasn’t what I needed right now because the irritation on my skin was getting more intense.I pulled my jacket slightly as I was walking down the hall following her directions. My shoulder was red, swollen, and itchy, and scratching it only made it worse.Allergies? Yeah. I feel so frustrated, and wearing a jacket in hot weather is something I hated, but I had no choice, right?My bad!Quick introduction: my name is Aria, I am twenty-three years old, and I am currently a student at the

2Aria’s POVBut I thought it wasn’t any bad idea if I asked him for his number, right? At least I had nothing to lose.Besides, I’m a very pretty girl and I know any man out there would like me. It’s just him who doesn’t seem to be attracted to me in any way, but I didn’t care. All I knew was that I would make him give me his number, then I’d call him, chat with him, and eventually make him fall for me.Nobody denies a pretty girl their number. That’s what I’ve always believed, that’s what I’ve always known.So when I turned back toward him, I smiled and said, “Doctor, can I get your number?”The way his face froze—it was a mixture of surprise and disbelief. Tyevpen he was writing with, paused midair and his lips parted slight and with a furrowed brows, i knew i fucked up!The expression on his face was just as if he wasn’t sure he heard me right. For a second, I felt a rush of joy in my chest. My heart started racing faster than ever, and I told myself…yes, this is it, I know he’s g

3Aria’s POVI wish for one thing right now and that is, for the ground to open and swallow me up. I couldn’t believe I had disgraced myself again in front of my crush. What the hell was wrong with me? How could I do something so reckless?And worse of all; how did I even let him, of all people, see my fake lashes lying helplessly on the table like an abandoned secret? And to crown it, why should he also be the one who asked me to throw it into the dustbin!? That meant only one thing: I disgusted him.My friend Linda’s laughter wasn’t helping either. She couldn’t stop. Every few seconds, she burst out laughing, her face was already turning red, she was laughing until tears came out of her eyes.My anger was bubbling inside, but I kept my composure—or at least I tried to. I walked slowly to the table with a shaky and weak knees, My hand trembled as I picked up the lashes, and without any further actions I rushed out of the room before I could see his expression. I didn’t dare look back

4Aria’s POVMy only hope and my only wish right now was that he would accept me, and at the very least, give me his number. Maybe through him, I could somehow connect with Dr. Nolan.After all, they both worked in the same hospital, and I knew that one way or the other he must have a contact with him as his colleague. That was why I swallowed my pride and asked him for his number, convincing myself that it was harmless, and also professional.But the next thing he said jolted me out of my wandering thoughts. His words were not the soft, considerate ones I had been hoping for.Instead, he tilted his head slightly, as he narrowed his eyes in mockery and asked, “What kind of phone do you use?”I blinked, caught off guard. My brows knit together in surprise, my lips parting as I struggled to understand the relevance of his question. “I—I don’t understand, doctor. What do you mean?”A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, though his gaze remained fixed on me. “It seems like you ha

5Aria’s POVI was just talking with Nora as she was gisting with me about her uncle being a doctor. I know I was being picky, but I couldn’t help it—I loved her naiveness. She talks so innocently and purely, and it made me smile every second. The fact that she wanted to link me up with her uncle made me laugh so hard. I was just enjoying the moment when he walked in....“Uncle Nolan!” Nora shouted in a tiny, excited voice. She immediately stood up from where she was sitting and rushed toward the door. My eyes followed her, and when I turned back, I froze.Standing there, smiling as if nothing happened, like he wasn’t the cold-hearted man I knew him to be. the same Dr. Nolan...the man who had rejected me three times just last week and left me broken! I was so quiet and frustrated from the rejection, and now here he was...I stared at him in disbelief because I couldn't believe that the uncle Nora wanted me to date was him, like Nora was actually Dr. Nolan’s niece!What were the odds?

CHAPTER 6ARIA’S POVAfter what happened the other day, I discovered that Nora’s uncle was no other person than the same man who had rejected me three different times, the same doctor I’d been dying for, my mind has not been at peace. Who exactly are you, Dr. Nolan? I don’t even know if you like me or if you secretly despise me, but something about you keeps pulling me closer. That day I finally decided I would take his number, and I’m so happy that I did. Even though he tried to play hard to get again, he couldn’t outsmart me this time. I’d told him we needed a parent’s number to add Nora to the school list, and that simple trick made him give it to me.I don’t even know why I’m loving someone I barely know. It feels strange more like falling in love with a stranger—but deep inside, it’s as if I’ve known him all my life. There’s a familiarity in his eyes, and a quiet echo in his voice that makes me feel like we’ve crossed paths before. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to him so strongly

CHAPTER 7ARIA’S POVMy face burned with embarrassment and shock, my cheeks was so hot that I could feel the heat crawling all the way to my ears. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. The fact that I had come here to pretend about an allergic reaction, to get a simple check-up and maybe steal another chance to see him, but instead I had turned into a reckless talkative. Why? why on earth—did I have to mention the conference? I hadn’t even checked the post before blurting it out. Now I wished the ground would split open and swallow me whole.Of all things, why would I want to attend a conference about that? A medical talk that sounded like a secret manual on how to satisfy women and how age affected men. It is a medical conference that is clearly Only for men. My stomach twisted as I replayed my careless words in my head. The shame was unbearable.And that was when I saw those faint curves on Dr. Nolan’s face which is painted with half smile, and half warning….he let out a sat

CHAPTER 8ARIA’S POVMy heart was filled with anger and fury, please don’t ask me why I’m so angry—because I don’t actually want to have anything to do with Dr. Nolan again. But the moment I hear someone talking about him, it’s like someone pours petrol on my body and strikes a match stick. The anger rushing through me was hot and blinding. Even though he has rejected me countless times, I still hate it when people gossip about him around me.Why do people pretend to be your friends, smiling in front of you, and then, the next minute, turn into snakes the moment your back is turned? That’s one thing I cannot stand.When I finally snapped and shouted at the nurses, the way their faces froze in shock and fear as if someone had suddenly walked in behind me….I didn’t care at first. My voice still rang in the hallway, sharp and bitter. But when I turned around, my breath caught.Dr. Nolan!?He was standing right there, staring directly at me. His eyes were cold and unreadable, his face

CHAPTER 9ARIA’S POVEven though the day wasn’t packed with errands, it somehow felt exhausting, as if my body had run a marathon my mind didn’t sign up for. Maybe it was because of what happened earlier at the hospital. Even after taking a nap before heading to the studio to teach Nora, a heavy tiredness still clung to me. It wasn’t the kind of fatigue that came from running or lifting a heavyweight, rather it was a deep and invisible kind that settles in when emotions do all the work. My heart felt as though it had been carrying weights since morning.When I arrived at the studio and saw Nora waiting, I had expected to see her mother beside her. Her mom had called earlier, promising she would be the one to pick her up after the lesson. I’d been counting on that. I thought that would mean no unexpected encounters—no chance of running into Dr. Nolan again.But fate clearly had other plans.Instead of Nora’s mom, it was Dr. Nolan who appeared at the doorway, standing there with a qui

CHAPTER 10ARIA’S POVYeah, welcome back. We went to the restaurant to get the cake—unknown to me that I was about to meet the shock of my life. Instead of the sweet thrill of spending time with Dr. Nolan and Nora, I thought the only surprise would be the quiet attention Nolan sometimes gave me, the kind that made my heart flutter even when he said nothing at all. I believed this outing would stay simple: cake, smiles, and maybe a few soft moments that would make me feel like I belonged.But fate, as always, had its own cruel plans. I didn’t know the shock waiting for me would strike like an electric jolt, sharp enough to steal the breath from my chest. One second I was floating in a dream and pretending little I was having a sweet family trip—and then next, reality slammed in like a door in my face.It really had felt like it was a dream before she appeared. We’d walked into the bright, sweet-smelling restaurant with its warm yellow lights and rows of colorful pastries. I kept sn
