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 15: Days Numbered
"If I’m being honest... this looks terminal. Whatever’s happening to you, it’s progressing fast. I’d estimate you have less than seven days—maybe less."Rick’s glare darkened. "Watch your mouth, doc. Do you realize who you’re talking to?"Miguel lifted a hand, his voice calm but commanding. "Let him finish."Joaquin hesitated but pressed on. "I think you’ve been poisoned. This isn’t an ordinary illness. From everything I’ve observed, this points to a rare and lethal compound snake venom.""Snake venom?" Miguel’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his tone remained even.Joaquin nodded. "It’s not just any venom, either. It’s engineered to act slowly, making it difficult to detect until it’s too late. Tell me—when did the symptoms first appear?"Miguel’s gaze drifted for a moment before he answered. "The first six months were... normal. I didn’t feel anything unusual. Then came the abdominal pain. At first, it was mild, manageable.""And after that?" Joaquin prompted.Miguel leaned back,

Joaquin stood frozen, staring at Miguel. “You… are sick?”Joaquin looked at Miguel from head to toe. At first glance, he doesn’t look sick or dying at all. “Yes. It’s exactly what you heard.” Joaquin stepped back. “And you want me to treat you?”His voice wavered between disbelief and panic.Miguel gave a slow nod, his gaze steady and unwavering. "I wouldn’t have called for you if I didn’t think you were capable.""But… I’m just a regular doctor," Joaquin argued. "I’m not some miracle worker! There are specialists—people who’ve studied rare diseases their whole lives. Why me?"Miguel faintly smirked playing on his lips. "Because they failed. All of them. You wouldn’t want to know how many doctors had already seen me, but they all failed. You’re my last chance, Joaquin."“I… I don’t think I can do it too if they cannot!” he exclaimed. Rick stepped closer, his imposing figure adding weight to Miguel’s words. "He’s not exaggerating, Mr. Lopez. The others who refused or couldn’t d

In the quiet hum of the car, Joaquin sighed deeply and turned to his sister, Jasmine. "I’m sorry for dragging you into this mess today. You didn’t deserve any of it."Jasmine glanced at him with a gentle smile. "You’re my brother. You don’t have to apologize for standing up for me." She paused, her voice softening. "But you have to take care of yourself too. If things don’t work out at the hospital, it’s not the end of the world. You can find another path."Joaquin nodded, though his jaw tightened. He knew she was right, but the thought of leaving behind the career he had worked so hard for wasn’t easy.Jasmine hesitated before adding, "And Mikyla... she’s not the same person anymore. You deserve someone who values you for who you are, not what they can gain from you."He let her words sink in, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. "I’ll think about it," he promised. "And I’ll be home early for dinner tonight."Jasmine nodded.Joaquin watched her disappear inside, then turned to Rick,

As the security guards moved in closer, preparing to take Joaquin into custody, Serena stepped forward. She raised her hand to halt them, her voice clear. "Stop! You cannot just act without following the proper procedures! This is a hospital, not a battlefield!"Antonio sneered. "Procedures? This man assaulted my son! I don’t need to follow any rules when my family is involved."Serena’s eyes flashed with determination as she stepped in front of Joaquin. "You’re abusing your power, Mr. Alvarez! If you take one more step, you’ll be in direct violation of hospital regulations!"Antonio’s expression didn’t waver, his anger still burning. "I don’t care about regulations when it comes to my son! This ends now!" He gestured sharply to the guards, signaling them to move forward.Joaquin knew he had no choice but to stand his ground. His earlier restraint had already been a concession. But Serena, despite her calm demeanor, wasn’t backing down.Before anyone could act, a sleek Maybach

Joaquin slammed him to the ground with a force that made Andrew grunt with pain.His foot hovered over Andrew’s hand, the tension in the room was palpable, ready to crush it completely. His breath came in heavy, controlled bursts as his anger surged through him. Just as he was about to press down, a voice shouted from the door.“Joaquin! Stop!”Joaquin froze, his eyes darting toward the voice. Serena stood in the doorway, her face a mask of stern authority.“Let him go! Now!” she ordered, her tone unwavering.Andrew, seizing the opportunity, gasped for air, his voice barely audible as he wheezed, “Help... Help! Someone—”Mikyla, standing by, quickly stepped forward. “Joaquin, are you completely out of your mind? Let him go! You’re going to ruin everything!”Serena’s gaze shifted from Joaquin to Andrew, then back. “Joaquin, this isn’t you. Stop this madness!”But Joaquin wasn’t done. His eyes narrowed, and his grip on Andrew’s wrist tightened, unyielding. “He assulted my sister!

Joaquin’s vision blurred with fury as he launched himself at Andrew, his hand gripping Andrew’s throat in an ironclad hold. Andrew choked, his hands scrabbling at Joaquin’s arm, but the pressure didn’t ease. Joaquin’s voice was a low growl.“How dare you hurt my sister?!”Andrew’s legs kicked out, trying to break free, but Joaquin’s grip only tightened, cutting off his breath. His face was turning purple, the struggle in his eyes becoming more frantic.“Joaquin, let him go!” Mikyla shouted, stepping forward, her face stricken with fear.Joaquin turned his cold eyes on her. “Anyone who hurts my sister doesn’t deserve mercy!” he spat, the venom in his voice unmistakable.Mikyla flinched, but she didn’t retreat. “Please, think about what you’re doing! This won’t end well for any of us!”Joaquin ignored her, his gaze locked on Andrew, who was still gasping for air. Just when it seemed like Andrew might pass out, Jasmine’s voice broke through the chaos.“Joaquin, please!” she sobbed,

Andrew’s face turned an angry crimson, the sting of Joaquin’s slap fresh and humiliating. “Y-You… How dare you?!”He clenched his jaw, his fists trembling as he glared at Joaquin.“You’ll regret this!” Andrew hissed, his voice venomous. He raised his hand, but Andrea’s cold, cutting voice stopped him mid-motion.“If you lay a finger on him,” she said, her tone laced with steel, “you won’t leave this room unscathed! You should know better than to challenge me, Andrew.”Andrew froze, his pride battling his fear of Andrea’s influence. After a long, tense pause, he lowered his fist and spat out, “This isn’t over!” With one last glare at Joaquin, he stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.The silence that followed was heavy, broken only by Andrea’s amused chuckle.“Well,” she said, leaning back in her chair, “that was dramatic. Tell me, Joaquin, how did it feel to slap Andrew?”Joaquin blinked at her, caught off guard by the sudden levity. Slowly, a small smirk crept on

“What?”“You heard me,” she said. “Get out! I don’t need a doctor who can’t see past his own arrogance!”Carlo clenched his fists but ultimately stormed out, slamming the door behind him.The interns hesitated, glancing nervously between Joaquin and Andrea before hurrying after their superior.Outside the room, the interns huddled around Carlo, their voices low and filled with doubt.“Do you think he’s legit?” one of them asked.“Impossible!” another replied. “No one heals that quickly.”“He’s a fraud!”Carlo, still fuming, clenched his fists. “He’s hiding something,” he said. “I’ll find out what it is.” With that, he headed toward the caregiver station, determined to dig into Joaquin’s past.Back in the room, Andrea’s demeanor shifted. Her stern expression softened as she turned her attention to Joaquin.“That was… impressive,” she said, her voice teasing. “What do I owe you for such a miracle? My gratitude? Or something more… personal?”Joaquin blinked, caught off guard by the sud

The room buzzed with tension as Joaquin stood at the foot of the hospital bed, Joaquin was preparing his tools for the treatment. The air was thick with skepticism, and Carlo made no effort to hide his disdain.“This is ridiculous!” Carlo sneered, crossing his arms. “You’re feeding her false hope! There’s no way your little water-and-herbs trick will work!”Andrea leaned back against the pillows, her eyes fixed on Joaquin. “I’ve already told you, Doctor,” she said with a cool smile, “I’ll decide what’s worth trying. If Joaquin says he can help, I’ll let him.”An intern beside Carlo snorted. “A caregiver acting like a doctor? What a joke!”Joaquin glanced at them briefly, unfazed. “You’re welcome to stay and watch. Maybe you’ll learn something.”The boldness of his retort made the interns gape, and even Carlo’s eyebrows twitched in irritation.“Fine,” Carlo said, his tone laced with mockery. “Let’s see this miracle of yours.”Joaquin took a deep breath, steadying himself. He dipp
