Chapter 1
Sarah Davis POV
Aduh, hari yang sungguh teruk!
Hari ini macam Black Friday dalam hidup aku, tapi lagi teruk. Hitam yang paling hitam!
Aku Sarah Davis, dan bukan sahaja mak aku halau aku keluar, tapi aku juga hilang peluang untuk tinggal di New York City Heart Health Center. Sejak aku mula sekolah perubatan, menjadi pakar bedah jantung di sini adalah impian aku.
Tapi sekarang? Semua dah hancur.
Aku baru sampai hospital dan tukar baju scrubs bila mak aku, Julia Davis, telefon.
"Aku nak kahwin!" itulah yang pertama aku dengar bila aku jawab panggilan tu.
Otak aku macam terhenti sekejap. Sejak ayah aku meninggal sebab strok lima tahun lepas, Julia dah dating dengan semua lelaki kaya yang dia boleh jumpa, muda atau tua.
Bagi Julia, kehilangan suami bukanlah satu tragedi; ia macam Tuhan buka pintu baru untuk dia.
Tapi kahwin? Itu pertama kali.
"Mak, tahniah. Mak jumpa orang istimewa, ya?"
Julia abaikan sindiran aku dan kata, "Aku dah batalkan sewa apartment di New York. Aku terbang balik ke Los Angeles esok untuk persiapan kahwin. Barang-barang kau? Semua sampah saja. Aku tinggalkan dengan pengurusan apartment. Ambil sendiri!"
Apa?
Perkahwinan dia urusan dia, tapi apartment? Tak boleh!
Dia tak pernah peduli tentang aku, tapi kalau dia batalkan sewa, aku akan jadi gelandangan malam ni.
Aku terpaksa sebut tentang adik aku, Emily Davis, anak kandung Julia, untuk cuba selamatkan tempat tinggal aku.
Ya, aku anak angkat.
Ibu bapa angkat aku tak boleh ada anak, jadi mereka angkat aku. Setahun kemudian, mereka dapat Emily.
Aku tarik nafas dalam-dalam dan paksa senyum. "Tapi Mak, Emily masih di New York..."
Julia potong cakap aku, "Emily ikut aku balik Los Angeles!"
"Apa? Dia berhenti kerja di New York?"
Emily belajar di kolej di New York juga, sebab itu Julia pindah ke sana. Emily dan aku tamat pengajian tahun yang sama, dan dia kononnya kerja dalam bidang perbankan pelaburan.
"Bukan urusan kau. Emily anak aku, dan dia akan dapat peluang yang lebih baik di Los Angeles."
Aku menyindir dalam hati. Siapa yang ingat aku pun anak dia?
"Kau tinggal di New York. Aku tak nak kau goda ayah baru kau!" dia kata dengan nada benci.
Klik. Panggilan tamat.
Aku rasa sangat tak berdaya kerana Julia tahu betul apa yang ayah angkat yang dah mati tu buat pada aku.
Aku dah jadi intern di New York City Heart Health Center hampir setahun, cuma sebulan lagi untuk jadi doktor sepenuh masa.
Jujurnya, aku lebih rela tinggal di New York sendirian.
Selepas pembedahan pagi, aku ambil rehat dan tarik Lily, pembantu bedah aku, di bilik tukar baju.
"Hei, boleh tak aku tumpang rumah kau malam ni?"
"Apa jadi?" Lily senyum, tahu drama keluarga aku. "Mak kau yang hot dapat boyfriend baru lagi?"
Lily dan aku mula di jabatan yang sama masa yang sama, dan kami masih intern.
Dia sewa apartment kecil dekat hospital. Sama miskin macam aku, lepas bayar hutang pelajar, aku cuma ada duit untuk makan saja. Jadi, walaupun Julia buang semua kerja rumah pada aku, aku terpaksa tinggal di apartment yang dia sewa, tahan sindiran dingin dia.
Dia sewa tempat tu untuk lawat Emily, bukan aku.
Kadang-kadang, Julia bawa boyfriend baru balik rumah, dan aku dengan bijaknya keluar, tinggal di rumah Lily atau di bilik on-call.
Aku mengeluh, "Dia batalkan sewa! Dia telefon hari ni kata dia nak kahwin."
Lily nampak risau. "Tapi boyfriend baru aku datang malam ni untuk tidur sini, kau tahu, malam yang penuh ghairah. Kalau kau tak kisah, kau boleh tidur di sofa."
Aku terus ingat kali terakhir aku tumpang. Lily dan boyfriend dia yang besar tu bercium dan tinggalkan baju merata dari ruang tamu sampai bilik tidur.
Malam tu memang sangat 'ghairah'.
Aku habiskan malam di sofa, dengar mereka, dan pergi kerja esoknya dengan mata panda.
Jadi aku senyum canggung. "Tak apa. Aku cari orang untuk tukar shift dan ambil shift malam."
Kami berbual sambil keluar dari bilik tukar baju, tak perasan ketua jabatan, David Miller, lalu di belakang kami.
Akhirnya habis kerja, aku seret diri ke bilik on-call, siap untuk tidur di situ malam ni.
Tapi esok? Dan masa depan? Aku serius risau tentang apa yang akan datang.
Saya menanggalkan kot makmal dan bersiap untuk memakai T-shirt apabila pintu terbuka dengan tiba-tiba.
"Heh, tunggu kejap!" Saya secara naluri menutup dada dengan baju T-shirt dan berpaling.
David Miller?!
Sebagai ketua jabatan, dia tak perlu bertugas. Apa dia buat kat sini?
"Dr. Miller, saya sedang tukar baju. Boleh tak keluar sekejap?"
Saya marah, tapi apa yang dia buat lepas tu benar-benar mengejutkan saya.
Dia campak T-shirt saya ke tepi, pegang pergelangan tangan saya, dan tolak saya ke dinding. Pen dalam kot makmalnya menusuk dada saya, membuat saya meringis kesakitan.
Ya Allah! Dia dah gila ke?
"Dr. Miller, tenanglah." Saya cuba menenangkan suara saya, mengangguk ke arah cincin perkahwinannya. "Dr. Lee masih kat luar dan boleh masuk bila-bila masa. Awak tak mahu semua orang tahu awak ganggu intern, kan?"
David Miller hanya ketawa, seperti dia mengejek usaha saya yang sia-sia untuk berbincang dengannya.
"Dr. Lee dah pergi. Saya suruh dia tengok video pembedahan."
Matanya terpaku pada dada saya. "Tapi awak betul, tempat ni tak sesuai. Sarah, saya tahu awak tak ada tempat nak tinggal malam ni. Saya boleh bagi awak bilik hotel."
Jadi dia dengar perbualan saya dengan Lily dan tahu saya akan ada di sini!
"Dr. Miller, ini gangguan seksual! Saya akan laporkan awak pada jawatankuasa etika!"
David Miller ketawa seperti saya ni bahan lawak.
"Lapor saya? Serius? Saya ketua jabatan. Awak fikir siapa mereka akan percaya, awak atau saya? Sarah, awak tak nak jadi doktor sepenuh masa ke?"
Dia mendekat, menggigit cuping telinga saya dan menggosoknya dengan bibirnya yang panas dan basah. Suaranya rendah dan mengancam. "Mudah saja. Buat saya puas untuk satu malam!"
Dengan itu, dia menekan bibirnya kuat-kuat pada bibir saya, cuba mencium saya. Saya begitu jijik hampir muntah dan memalingkan kepala, tapi si keparat itu menundukkan kepala untuk mencium dada saya!
Sial!
"Berhenti! David! Tolong."
Saya tak boleh tahan lagi dan menjerit, mengangkat lutut untuk menendang kemaluannya, tapi badan besarnya menindih saya.
Tangannya menggenggam pergelangan tangan saya lebih kuat, badannya menekan lebih dekat. Saya boleh rasa kemaluannya di bawah kot makmal menekan saya.
"Saya suka cara awak melawan. Awak sangat menggoda, Sarah. Awak benar-benar mempesonakan saya," bisiknya, nadanya sangat intim dan mengerikan.
Kerana tekanan, payudara saya hampir terkeluar dari bra. Dia menundukkan kepala dan mula menjilat dada saya.
Saya menatap siling, mata saya merah, gigi hampir menggigit bibir saya.
Saya lebih rela mati daripada tidur dengan keparat ni, tapi kalau saya buat dia marah, macam mana saya nak teruskan di HHC? Walaupun saya berjaya lari hari ni, apa akan jadi esok?
Selagi saya menolak dia, dia akan terus ganggu saya. Mungkin mulai esok, saya takkan dapat masuk bilik pembedahan lagi!
Saya cuba lebih keras untuk menolak kepalanya, cuba menyingkirkan lidahnya yang menjijikkan dari dada saya, tapi dia tak berganjak.
Saya terpaksa menarik nafas dalam-dalam dan berkata, "Dr. Miller, tolong dengar saya."
David akhirnya berhenti dan memandang saya.
Saya buat muka kasihan, memerah air mata. "Dr. Miller, saya... saya... setuju. Betul ke awak boleh bantu saya kekal di hospital? Saya betul-betul tak ada tempat lain nak pergi."
David memang longgarkan genggamannya. "Sarah, saya tahu awak akan buat pilihan yang betul. Bagus. Jangan risau, saya akan bantu awak."
Sekarang!
Mengambil kesempatan dari kelonggaran sementara, saya tarik satu tangan keluar, ambil gunting dari meja berdekatan, dan tikam lengannya kuat-kuat. David menjerit, memegang lengannya yang berdarah.
"Awak, Sarah, awak gila ke?"
Saya tendang dia jauh.
"Perogol! Kalau awak cuba lagi, saya akan lumpuhkan tangan awak!" Saya ambil T-shirt saya dan keluar dengan marah, mendengar jeritan marah David di belakang.
"Sarah Davis, jangan biar saya jumpa awak lagi! Pernah!" Kemarahannya jelas terasa.
Saya pakai baju dan berjalan tanpa arah di jalan. Angin sejuk bertiup, dan saya peluk erat-erat tangan saya.
Kehilangan apartmen dah cukup teruk, tapi sekarang saya hilang kerja juga!
Hari ini memang teruk. Kali ini, saya betul-betul tak ada tempat tinggal.
Tiba-tiba, lampu neon di seberang jalan menyala, menerangi Pirates Bar.
Saya fikir itu tanda dari Tuhan. Alkohol adalah ramuan ajaib untuk melupakan segala kesakitan.
Tapi saya tak sedar pada masa itu bahawa malam ini akan menjadi malam yang tak terlupakan bagi saya.

I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.

Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
