Chapter 1: The Betrayal
Joaquin pushed open the door to his apartment as the exhaustion clung to him like a second skin. His day at Villareal Medical Hospital had been grueling, and all he wanted was a quiet evening with Mikyla. But before he could call out her name, faint voices filtered through the hallway—coming from the bedroom.He froze. The voices were muffled but unmistakable. A man and a woman, their tone teasing, urgent, and far too familiar. His chest tightened as realization dawned. Heart pounding, he moved closer, the words becoming clearer.“So, you think he’ll figure it out?” the man chuckled.“Joaquin?” Mikyla’s voice replied with a scoff. “He’s clueless. The guy’s too naive to suspect anything.”A cold chill swept through Joaquin’s body.‘What?!’“And the position?” the man asked.“There’s only one permanent slot,” Mikyla said smoothly. “Serena might back him, but your dad has the final say, right? That fool doesn’t stand a chance.”‘How can she do this to me?!’The man was Andrew Alvarez,

The Doctor's Reckoning Chapter 33: Connections
“Ahh! Fuck! Fuck!”Nico lay sprawled on the cold, blood-stained floor, writhing in pain. His breath came in sharp, ragged gasps as he clutched his wounded hand, his fingers slick with his own blood. His once-pristine clothes were now drenched in sweat and grime, his face contorted in agony.Joaquin sat on the floor nearby, his arms wrapped tightly around Jasmine. She trembled against him, her small frame still shaken from the ordeal.Joaquin held her close, his grip firm but gentle, as if reassuring himself that she was truly safe now.A pair of heavy boots echoed through the abandoned building. Joaquin looked up and let out a slow sigh of relief.Rick stood in the doorway, hands in his pockets, surveying the scene with a smirk. “It’s okay now,” Joaquin murmured to his sister, his voice steady despite the adrenaline still coursing through his veins.Rick stepped forward, his sharp gaze landing on Nico. He crouched beside the wounded man, his smirk widening. “I couldn’t just sit bac

Nico coughed, blood dribbling down the side of his mouth as he struggled to keep his head up. His entire body ached from Joaquin’s brutal blows, and his vision blurred from the pain. But through it all, one question burned in his mind.He lifted his gaze, staring at Joaquin as if seeing him for the first time."You... you’re in the Tiger Ranking, aren’t you?" Nico rasped, his voice weak but laced with desperate curiosity.Joaquin's brows furrowed. "What?""I know... I know the Dragon King," Nico continued, forcing out the words. "And only those in the Tiger Ranking can fight like you."Joaquin’s expression didn’t change. He had no interest in whatever nonsense Nico was spewing."You're lying." Joaquin’s voice was sharp, cutting through the tense air like a blade."I swear—""You think name-dropping some powerful figure will save you?" Joaquin took a slow, menacing step forward. "Nothing will."Panic flickered in Nico’s eyes as Joaquin loomed over him, his fists clenching at his sides.

Nico’s breath hitched as he stared at Joaquin, eyes wide with disbelief. The strength Joaquin had displayed—it was unnatural, almost inhuman. His movements were too fast, his strikes too powerful.No… it can’t be.“What… what are you?” Nico rasped, his body trembling. He had heard of warriors who reached the legendary Tiger Rank—those whose strength surpassed ordinary men. But Joaquin?Impossible. He’s just a caregiver!Joaquin smirked, stepping forward. His eyes gleamed with something dangerous.“I’m your end, Nico. Now, bring me my sister.”Nico’s lips curled into a grin, but it was forced, his mind racing for an escape. I can’t fight him head-on. He’s too strong.Without another word, he bolted toward the door at the end of the dim hallway, slamming it open. Inside the cramped, filthy room, Jasmine sat bound to a chair, her head snapping up at the sudden intrusion.Her wide, terrified eyes landed on him, then darted past him, searching for her brother.“Ahh! Let me go!” she cried,

Joaquin’s grip tightened around his phone as he sent a quick text to Rick. The message delivered. A small relief. At least someone knew where he was.Beside him, Serena stared at the looming structure ahead, her face tight with worry. The building stood in eerie silence, its shattered windows like gaping mouths, its rusting metal beams exposed like broken bones. The Drey Group owned this place, but now it was nothing more than a playground for criminals like Andrew and Nico.“This is a bad idea,” Serena muttered as she parked the car, gripping the steering wheel. “I should come with you.”“No,” Joaquin said firmly, turning to face her.Serena’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Joaquin, come on—”“If I don’t come out in an hour, call the police,” he interrupted. His tone left no room for argument.Serena clenched her fists, frustration flickering in her eyes. “You don’t even have a weapon.”Joaquin smirked slightly. “I don’t need one.”Before she could protest further, he pushed open

Jasmine's screams echoed in the dimly lit room, but they only made Nico and his men laugh. Their cruel chuckles sent shivers down her spine, but she refused to let fear consume her. She struggled against the ropes digging into her wrists, her breath ragged, her heart slamming against her ribs."Let me go!" she yelled, twisting in her restraints, but her plea was met with nothing but amusement.One of Nico's men leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, shaking his head. "She’s got fire, boss. You sure you don’t want to break her spirit a little before handing her off to Joaquin?"Nico smirked, rolling his shoulders as he approached her. His dark eyes gleamed with something vile, something that made her stomach twist in pure disgust."You think you still have a say in anything, sweetheart?" he murmured, crouching before her. He reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers lingering against her skin longer than necessary.Jasmine recoiled, her teeth gritted

Nico walked with slow, measured steps toward the small, dimly lit room at the end of the hallway. His fingers trailed along the peeling paint of the walls, his mind lost in thought. He had agreed to help Andrew, but now that he was here, standing before the heavy metal door that separated him from the girl inside, he realized there was something about this situation that intrigued him more than he expected.With a quiet creak, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.The room was barely furnished—a single bed with a thin mattress, a chair in the corner, and a small window covered in grime. Lying on the bed was Jasmine, still unconscious, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. The faint glow from the flickering lightbulb overhead cast shadows across her delicate features.Nico's gaze lingered on her. Even in this state, something was striking about her. He had seen countless women—beautiful, sophisticated, dangerous—but there was something different about Jasmine. Perh

Inside the dimly lit abandoned building owned by the Drey Group, Andrew paced back and forth, his fingers twitching with impatience. The place reeked of dust and rust, the air thick with the weight of old secrets and forgotten history. He turned to Nico Drey, who sat calmly on a worn-out chair, legs crossed, watching him with mild amusement.“He’ll come,” Andrew muttered, more to himself than to Nico. “Joaquin won’t ignore this. Not when his sister’s life is on the line.”Nico arched a brow, unconcerned. “And what if he calls the police instead?”Andrew scoffed. “Joaquin? Call the cops? That’s not his style. He’ll come straight here, ready to play the hero.”Nico smirked, tapping his fingers against the armrest. “You sound confident.”Andrew clenched his jaw, his voice laced with something darker—resentment, maybe even hatred. “Because I know him. Joaquin always plays by the rules. He thinks if he fights hard enough, he’ll win. But this time, he’s walking straight into my hands.”Nico

“He took my sister!” Joaquin said, his voice heavy with frustration.“We should call for help. This isn’t good!” Serena suggested.Joaquin turned sharply to her. “No.”Serena frowned, shocked. “What? Your sister is missing! We need to call the police!”Joaquin clenched his fists, his anger bubbling to the surface. “No one can help my sister but me, Ms. Del Mar. I appreciate your concern, but I’ll handle this.”Serena’s eyes narrowed. “What exactly are you planning to do?”“I’m going to find her myself,” Joaquin said with unwavering determination. “Please, just let Ms. Johnson know about the situation. She might start worrying if I’m not back soon.”Joaquin walked toward the waiting shed, his mind set on one thing—revenge. He promised himself that anyone who had hurt his sister would pay.Serena was left frustrated. She couldn’t believe that, despite everything, Joaquin still thought about Andrea in the midst of this crisis. She grunted in frustration and made a decision.“Wait, Joaqui

“Joaquin, please! We should go to the police instead!” Serena pleaded, still trying to calm him down.But Joaquin was certain of his suspicion. No one else would do this—it had to be Andrew.Determined, he stormed toward Andrew’s room. Without hesitation, he pushed the door open and rushed inside.Mikyla, who was casually flipping through a magazine, jumped to her feet at the sudden intrusion. She glared at him.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?! Why are you here?” she demanded, her voice laced with irritation.Joaquin ignored her. His eyes darted to the bed—empty. Without missing a beat, he strode toward the bathroom and flung the door open.Nothing.Frustration boiled inside him. He turned back to Mikyla.“What do you want, Joaquin?! I’m calling security!” Mikyla snapped.Joaquin didn’t acknowledge her threat. Instead, he asked coldly, “Where is he?”Serena reached for his arm. “Joaquin, calm down first.”Mikyla raised an eyebrow. “Who are you even looking for? Are you blind
