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!"

"We're friends," I said, voice barely steady. Aaron's lips curled, slow and cruel. "No, we're not." "Friendship's too pure for this." His hand slid to my waist, hot and claiming as he yanked me flush against him. "Do friends kiss like this?" He kissed me. Hard. Possessive. "Or grab each other like this?" A squeeze to my ass. A gasp. "Or think filthy little thoughts?" His breath burned against my ear. "Touch themselves to it?" My cheeks flamed. My body betrayed me. "Stop lying, Venus." His voice was a growl. "I feel it. Every time I'm near you." I whispered, "But you don't even like me." His smile was pure sin. "I don't have to like you to fuck you." Then the offer: "Let's get it out of our system. No lies. No strings. Just truth." He grabbed my chin, eyes lit with hunger. "Say the word, princess." A whisper against my lips- "I'll ruin you." And God help me... I wanted him to. --------- Aaron Sinclair needs a bride to claim his inheritance. Venus Carter needs a miracle to save her dying mother. What begins as a cold contract marriage spirals into a dangerous game of buried trauma, stolen identities, and forbidden attachment. He's ruthless, closed off, and refuses to love. She's resilient, lost, and refuses to stay unloved. But when secrets unravel revealing a stolen childhood, a tragic past, and a vengeful stepmother, their fake marriage is the only thing standing between them and destruction. In a world ruled by power and silence, will love dare to speak first or break them both instead?

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
