Author's point of view...Leaving the world behind in each other's embrace, Ria and Tiger stood before the hospital staff and Joe for quite a while as if yearning for each other for years.Joe, getting out of his misery, looked at them perplexed and puzzled.Why would his son's doctor hug my boss?Was that for comfort?But it has to be the guardian of the patient if it is for comforting, right?As his mind was racing to sort things out, Mike moved forward to answer his queries."That's my ma'am, Boss's wife" he clarified Joe's doubts.Joe was taken aback for some time, he never imagined that a man notoriously famous for his unmerciful killing will be having a wife in the profession of saving lives.When the realization stuck them both about where they are, they pulled themselves back from each other moving away in a hurry.Ria strolled to her cabin and Tiger rushed to his car, where Joe and Mike followed him running. As they reached Joe's office, Tiger's heart pounded in his chest as
Ria's point of view...This night I wanted to prove something to myself, I just wanted to see if he takes me to his bed tonight again, if so then I can confront him, why.But something changed, he didn't take me to his bed but instead, he settled himself on my bed, hugging me even more tightly.I wanted to free myself but I smelt alcohol, he was drunk, and arguing with a drunk man is like hitting my head on a tree bark, isn't it?So I reluctantly let it slide for now, though it was uncomfortable as his grip was tight enough to make me hear his heartbeat But in other words, his tough touch was making me feel hotter which I can't express.I struggled hard to get some sleep all night, without moving an inch, but I swear that I couldn't.It was in the morning when he strode away to his room when I felt easy and slept for a while but as time was ticking and I need to check on my patients, I had to kick my butt off the bed.I strolled myself to his room to get my clothes to change from the
Tiger's point of view...I felt so much more relaxed sleeping like this, hugging her as if I had my world under my arms but something was weird I felt she was shivering, it might be off for her but I am not going to let her go.Yes, I am selfish, I know she wasn't comfortable but I prefer to make her adapt to this instead of leaving her.In the morning I saw she was pretending to be asleep but her eyes were still flickering. I wanted to kiss her, but a call disturbed me. I checked my phone screen, it was Rex. And I had to leave that room to attend that call, "Hmm..." I lifted the call only to listen 'Done' from him."Boss, it's done...!" he retorted but his speech wavering, "Rex, I thought you have a long life to live" The task I gave him was a must one and I don't want it to be undone."Sir I did it but she was taken to the hospital, it was so sudden that I couldn't stop it" he reasoned, "Leave it," I hung up, Hospital...!I won't mind if she ends up in that hospital bed for al
Ria's point of view...I reached the hospital in a hurry just to get distracted from that cheesy trap roaming around my mind and great...! I found my distraction ready in the lobby.A woman had been brought in following a severe accident, and her life hung in the balance. Shattered skin, almost every part of the body was ruptured.To explain properly, a drastic accident as if someone deliberately did that and wanted her to be dead instantly.A great challenge for me. I forced myself to pick up speed and reached my team."How are the vitals?" I started my queries and they gave me my answers.As I checked her, I found a brutal injury on her head as well, which means there was almost no place for survival and even if she survived, she will end up in a vegetative state. Brain dead...!But I think I know what to do."Have you contacted her family?" I asked the rescue team worker who brought her there."Yes ma'am, her husband is on the way," he said in a hurry to rush out.Time seemed to
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..."Call that bitch out...!""How dare she...! Who gave her mission to operate on my wife...! I will kill her now"As I heard the commotion outside my office, a mixture of curiosity and concern filled my mind. But deep down I knew who that was. Tiger was about to get out but I stopped him.I don't want him to be involved in this matter. "No wait, let me" I got off the table, fetched my coat, and strolled near the door. A slight sense of fear gripped my heart as the man outside was sounding so harsh. I prepared myself to face it because I knew that I had to face him. After all, he was the husband of that woman on whom I just operated to save her, to save those lives waiting for a blink of chance, but the only wrong thing I did was that I operated without his consent. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what awaited me beyond that door.With cautious steps, I made my way toward the source of the commotion. As I opened the door, the noise grew louder, and I
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
Tiger's point of view...The morning arrived with a soft glow, and I woke up feeling content, my heart still fluttering from the passionate night I had shared with Ria. The tender love that I have been yearning for years, I got it from her. The secret feelings that we had expressed had brought us even closer, reaffirming the depth of our connection. As I lay there, basking in the afterglow, a sense of peace washed over me. My heart swelled with love as I watched her, swirling in my chest.But just as the serenity settled, my phone rang, jolting me from my blissful state. I reached for it, seeing Joe's name flashing on the screen. "Sir, it's urgent...!" he said the moment I received it. "What is it..?" I thought it might be about his son but when he spoke my phone almost slipped.The urgency in his voice was evident as he relayed the news that he had traced Alex. That one person I had been tirelessly searching for. My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and eagerness. I knew this w
