Author's point of view...Ria's mind blocked for a fraction of a second as she saw Tiger pointing the gun toward the operating table. All she could think of was those helpless people waiting for a small hope to live, those patients waiting for some miracle that will help them with their struggle. That's it, she didn't think of anything else and lunged in front of the gun closing her eyes."Thud..." a bullet was shot and despite Tiger tried to stop it, it still grazed Ria's arm.Her vision blurred as the pain radiated through her body. She staggered backward, gripping her side where the bullet had grazed her. It was a searing reminder of the danger she had put herself in to protect the patient's life. Disbelief and shock washed over her as she watched Tiger, her own husband, brandish the gun in the operating theater.Tears welled up in her eyes, a mixture of physical pain and the emotional turmoil of seeing the person she just felt so close to resort to such extreme measures. Her vo

Ria's point of view...I blushed at the thought, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Tiger's actions were always unpredictable, and I had no idea what he had in mind. But there was an undeniable spark between us, a connection that went beyond words.As he gently removed my coat, his touch sent shivers down my spine. His fingers brushed against my skin, leaving a trail of warmth in their wake. "I c...can d...do it my....!" I stuttered as, I couldn't help but notice the intense look in his eyes, a hunger mixed with a tenderness that made my heart race."Stay still" he hissed, his voice as cold as ice, yet I was burning hot like an inferno.His hands moved with purpose, unbuttoning my shirt one by one. Each touch felt electrifying, igniting a fire within me. I clenched his hand as it reached the third button, unknowingly, I was never so intimate with any man in my whole life. All I did was study, study, and operations that's it."Do you want me to tie you up?" he groaned e

Author's point of view..."I want you to meet someone, Tiger," said his father, but before he could ask, his father added making him jolt, "That's your brother, my son, Alex!" Tiger stood frozen, his mind struggling to comprehend the words that had just left his father's mouth. The world around him seemed to fade into the background as he stared at the man standing beside Ria, who had been facing her as the dual were chatting and giggling.Tiger's heart raced, and a mix of emotions swirled within him. Disbelief, shock, and anger clashed, creating a tumultuous storm inside him. He took a step closer, his eyes never leaving that man. He moved forward, hesitatingly. Many thoughts pooled up in his mind, could it be?But how could that happen?Dad's son...!As he reached the dining hall, Ria stood up with a smile spread on her face. "Tiger...! You are...!" before she could talk any further, his shocked facial expressions halted her words."What happened Tiger?" she asked confusingly.Wi

Ria's words lingered in the air, creating a sense of anticipation within Tiger. He couldn't help but feel curious about this mysterious woman who held such significance in Ria's life. Though he won't meet anyone without any particular reason, it was only fair that he embrace Ria's desire to introduce him to her mother whom she held so dear to her heart. Anyway, he was not yet ready to face the intrusion of Alex in his new life. He wanted some time to cool his mind, though his emotional turmoil calm down a little because he was not alone in this now."When can we meet her?" Tiger asked, a hint of excitement now evident in his voice. Ria smiled, her eyes shining with surprise." You agreed...!" She hissed as if she just got something that she never expected. Then added, "I thought you would deny, I'll make arrangements for us to visit there today" she let out excitedly, "I love going there, it is an old age home and an orphanage too, where she resides. I want you to experience the same l

Tiger's point of view...My mind swirled as the realization struck me, so this is what he used to cover his attack.He had exposed the truth about Thomas.I felt a cold emptiness settle in the pit of my stomach as Dad's furious gaze bore into me. The weight of his disappointment was crushing, threatening to drown me in a sea of guilt. I had kept this secret from him, fearing the consequences of revealing the truth because I don't want him to get involved in that mess.But...!"I... I didn't want to worry you," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. "I thought why bother you as I could handle it on my own." Dad's anger softened momentarily, replaced by a look of hurt. "Tiger, you are my son, aren't you? I trusted you," he said, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and concern. "We're a family, isn't it?" I nodded bluntly, Dad was hurt, I never saw him so emotional before.What the hell did this bastard tell him?"You have no idea what that man did to me," his expression chan
