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
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
The freight of the world still rested heavily on his mind, but what he just saw had burnt his soul completely."All women are wench....!""Betrayers...!" he shouted and mumbled his desperation out but nothing seems to be working for him.As he fell on the bed, the exhaustion of the day and the alcohol finally caught up with him. Sleep claimed his body and his mind still refused to shatter those things out of his memory.When he awoke, the morning light spilled into the room, casting a gentle glow on his face. The incidents of the previous night lingered as Tiger stirred awake. His mind still clouded by the remnants of the previous night's alcohol-induced haze, he heard a soft knock on his bedroom door. "Come in," Tiger clamored, his voice tinged with weariness.The door creaked open, revealing Ria standing at the threshold. Her eyes were red-rimmed, evidence of the tears shed in the wake of the revelations which she tried hiding. She took a hesitant step forward, her voice filled w
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
