A decade after heartbreak drove them apart, Robson and Natalie find themselves back in the small coastal town of Florence, bound by fate and family. Robson, now a doctor, is tasked with treating Natalie's mother, Teresa, whose cancer diagnosis forces both of them to confront their shared past. Natalie, having left behind a high-powered career in New York, returns to care for her mother, only to come face-to-face with the man who once shattered her heart. As old wounds resurface and long-buried emotions simmer, Robson and Natalie must navigate the delicate balance between duty and desire. But with Teresa's health hanging in the balance and their lives at a crossroads, can they find a way to heal the scars of the past?

Doctor friend Chapter 1 The visit

Mr. Robson "Hello there, Mr. Andrew." I greeted him with a smile as one of my favorite patients shuffled into my office. His trusty cane tapped out a rhythmic hello against the tiles. "How are you feeling today?" "Oh, not so good," he replied with his trademark candor, plopping down into the chair like it had insulted him. "This cough won't leave me alone, my throat feels like I swallowed a cactus, and don't get me started on my back-it's protesting louder than my ex-wife at alimony hearings." I chuckled softly as he began his litany of complaints.

He had a way of turning misery into stand-up comedy. Still, I only half-listened. After years of knowing him, I'd learned to separate the dire from the dramatic. Mr. Andrew wasn't just here for a doctor's opinion. No, this was his social hour, his connection to the outside world. And I got it. Many of my older patients treated the waiting room like a community hub. Part of me wanted to establish a café or a club for them, somewhere cozy and harmless where they could chat and debate the daily news-anywhere but my office. "All right," I said with a grin, gesturing toward the examination table. "Let's run a few checks. How about you tell me how that book of yours is coming along while I take your blood pressure?" His face lit up at the mention of his novel. "Oh, Doctor! It's really coming together. Picture this-an intrepid hero, a femme fatale, and a treasure map! It's got action, romance, suspense-everything. Guaranteed bestseller!" As I wrapped the cuff around his arm, he launched into a breathless summary of his plot, complete with dramatic hand gestures and impromptu dialogue. I nodded, inserting an occasional "Hmm" or "Sounds brilliant!" at strategic intervals. Honestly, it sounded more like a spaghetti western than a literary masterpiece, but who was I to crush his dreams? "Of course," he added with a sigh, "if I'd won the lottery last night, I wouldn't need to fuss about this book at all, now would I?" "Ah, the lottery," I said, laughing as I recorded his vitals. "The great equalizer. I suppose we've all got our fingers crossed for that magic ticket." "If I'd won," he continued, his eyes twinkling with mischief, "I'd buy myself a private island. No doctors, no appointments, just me, a hammock, and maybe a few coconuts. What about you? What's your dream?" The question caught me off guard. My dream wasn't extravagant-just the chance to pay off my debts, lift the weight off my shoulders. But there wasn't much magic in that answer, so I improvised. "Well," I said, pretending to ponder, "I'd probably open a place just for patients like you-a cozy café with free tea and biscuits, a trivia corner, and maybe even bingo night. Call it the Hypochondria Hub." He laughed so hard it turned into a coughing fit, which had me momentarily concerned. But as I handed him a glass of water, he winked. "Not a bad idea, Doc. Just make sure the bingo prizes are something good-none of that cheap chocolate!"

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
