Ketika hidup memberimu kesempatan kedua, apakah kamu akan meraihnya atau membiarkannya pergi begitu saja?
SAAT INI
McKenzie
“Perawat Simmons, kamu bisa langsung menjahitnya, dia sudah siap; kirim dia ke kamarnya.”
“Baik, Dr. Pierce.” Ya ampun, hari ini benar-benar sibuk. Dua operasi dan ruang gawat darurat penuh. Aku melepas baju operasi dan menuju ke kantor sementara. Pagerku mulai berbunyi. Aku memeriksanya dan ternyata ada lagi. Aku mulai berlari. Aku mengambil tas dan jaketku lalu pergi. Butuh waktu lima belas menit untuk sampai ke rumah sakit swasta. Aku mengambil ponsel dan menelepon ke depan.
“Ini Dr. Pierce. Saya butuh Bryan Dennings, intern ahli bedah saraf. Dr. Mitchell dari pediatri. Perawat IGD Lanie Montgomery dan Perawat IGD Shannon Payton untuk bersiap melakukan operasi. Siapkan pasien dan tunggu saya, serta siapkan berkas pasien. Perkiraan waktu tiba sepuluh menit.”
“Dr. Pierce, ini Lanie Montgomery, kami sudah siap, ada pembengkakan dan pendarahan di otak pasien.”
“Tujuh menit.” Aku mengakhiri panggilan dan menginjak gas. Aku tiba dalam waktu yang sangat cepat. Aku bergegas melalui pintu darurat dan hal pertama yang kulihat adalah dia. Aku tidak menyangka akan melihatnya berdiri di sana bersama seluruh keluarganya. Aku bisa melihat ekspresi bingung dan kaget mereka. Namun, aku adalah seorang dokter dan aku punya pasien. Aku berlari melewati mereka dan menyerahkan tas ke Sam. Aku mengambil chart dari Lanie. Begitu melihat nama pasien, aku tahu aku harus melakukan apa pun untuk menyelamatkan nyawanya.
“Ayo, suruh para intern ke ruang observasi, mereka mungkin bisa belajar sesuatu. Juga jika keluarga pasien ingin.” Aku berkata sambil berlari ke ruang operasi. Aku mensterilkan tanganku dan mengenakan baju operasi, menunggu yang lain. Grayson sudah berada di meja operasi. Begitu dia melihatku, dia tersenyum.
“Sialan Kenzie, kamu terlihat bagus. Tolong, kalau aku tetap hidup, pastikan kamu membuatku terlihat bagus.” Aku tahu semua yang dikatakan akan terdengar di ruang observasi.
“Aku butuh kamu berhenti bicara dan diam, Mr. Paul, atau kamu akan membuatnya lebih buruk. Kamu tidak akan mati. Aku butuh kamu hidup supaya aku bisa membuat hidupmu sengsara. Aku akan pastikan kamu terlihat bagus. Aku menjaga kamu.”
“Bagus.”
“Bryan.” Aku melihatnya, dia tahu apa yang harus dilakukan. Dalam beberapa menit, Grayson sudah tidak sadarkan diri. Aku memeriksa laporannya.
“Hanya potong bagian rambut ini. Bryan, kamu bisa menjelaskan kepada para intern apa yang sedang terjadi.”
“Kenzie, dia ada di sana.” Zara berkata pelan. Aku tidak perlu melihat ke atas untuk tahu dia ada di sana. Grayson adalah sahabatnya, mereka seperti saudara dan dia akan selalu ada untuknya. Kehadirannya di sini bukan masalahku.
“Aku tahu tapi aku tidak tertarik padanya saat ini.”
“Selesai, Dr. Pierce.” Lanie berkata.
“Pisau bedah.”
Aku mulai membuat sayatan di sisi kiri kepalanya. Aku sangat fokus pada apa yang kulakukan, aku mengabaikan segalanya kecuali yang diperlukan. Kami butuh delapan jam tapi akhirnya selesai. Pembengkakan dan pendarahan berhenti dan dia hanya akan memiliki bekas luka minimal. Aku melihat ke ruang observasi.
“Ada pertanyaan?”
“Dr. Pierce, kebanyakan ahli bedah akan membuka seluruh struktur tengkorak, kenapa Anda tidak?”
Aku melihatnya, Timothy, dia adalah intern yang benar-benar tidak kusukai.
"Mengapa memberi pasien lebih banyak bekas luka daripada yang diperlukan? Mengapa memberi pasien waktu pemulihan yang lebih lama? Jika seorang ahli bedah mampu, dan percaya diri bahwa mereka bisa melakukan operasi dengan kerusakan minimal pada pasien tanpa melanggar aturan, maka dengan segala cara mereka bisa melakukannya."
Aku tidak melihat ke arahnya, tapi aku bisa merasakan tatapannya padaku. "Kirim pasien ke ruang VIP di lantai tiga. Lanie. Shannon, kalian akan menjadi perawat yang bertugas dan juga dua intern pilihan kalian."
"Ya, Dr. Pierce."
Setelah mereka pergi, aku berada di ruang operasi. Begitu sendirian, aku melihat ke atas untuk memastikan mereka sudah pergi, dia sudah pergi. Aku duduk di meja dan menghela napas. Ketika Zara masuk, dia datang dan duduk di sebelahku.
"Bagaimana perasaanmu saat melihatnya?" Dia bertanya dengan suara keras.
"Jujur saja, tidak ada. Tidak ada kebencian, tidak ada kemarahan, tidak ada kesedihan, kehilangan, cinta, tidak ada apa-apa, Zara. Begitu aku pergi, semua emosi itu mati."
Dia berdiri dan melihatku.
"Tidak mungkin untuk tidak bertemu dengannya atau keluarganya. Bisakah kamu melakukannya? Melihat mereka?"
Aku melihatnya. "Ya, Zara. Aku tidak membencinya, atau siapa pun dari mereka. Aku hanya patah hati karena dia memerintahkanku untuk tidak pernah berbicara dengan Cynthia lagi. Aku akan menghadapinya, tidak ada pilihan lain selain menghadapinya."
"Oke, aku kembali ke pediatrik, kita ketemu di bar malam ini?"
"Tentu."
Aku melihatnya menari keluar dari ruang operasi. Ketika aku yakin dia sudah pergi, aku melepaskan segalanya. Saat itulah gemetaran dimulai dan air mata pertama jatuh. Aku tidak bisa menahan diri untuk tidak menangis pelan, melihatnya membawaku kembali. Kembali ke lima tahun yang lalu. Aku menarik kalung yang aku sembunyikan di bawah bajuku dan memegangnya di tanganku. Dia memberikannya padaku, ini adalah satu-satunya yang tersisa dari masa itu.
Setelah kehancuran kecilku, aku berdiri dan pergi ke wastafel. Aku mencuci wajahku dan melepas seragam operasi, lalu menuju ke kantorku. Aku duduk memeriksa berkas Grayson, memeriksa semuanya, ketika aku mendengar ketukan di pintu.
"Ya," pintu terbuka dan dia masuk. Jasmine Dupree adalah orang terakhir yang ingin aku lihat. Aku tidak ingin ada urusan dengan dia atau dia. Dia duduk di seberangku dan tersenyum.
"Aku tidak menyangka kamu kembali ke Ardwell McKenzie, sepertinya kamu berhasil meraih impianmu menjadi dokter. Aku pikir lebih baik jika kamu meninggalkan Ardwell. Darius tidak membutuhkan atau menginginkanmu di sekitar. Kamu sudah cukup menyakiti dia, butuh waktu lama tapi dia sudah move on. Kami bertunangan dan merencanakan pernikahan kami, dan kehadiranmu di sini hanya akan mengacaukan pikirannya, jadi aku pikir lebih baik kamu pergi." Dia memiliki smirk yang sama di wajahnya.
Aku berdiri dan berjalan ke pintu.
"Keluar." Kataku sambil melihatnya. Dia mengambil waktunya untuk berdiri.
"Jangan ganggu Darius lagi, jangan sakiti dia lagi," katanya saat berjalan keluar pintu. Aku membanting pintu di belakangnya. Aku duduk di mejaku dengan kepala tertunduk. Dia sudah move on, aku tidak bisa menahan tawa, di sini aku berjuang untuk melupakannya dan dia sudah move on. Aku tidak mendengar pintu terbuka. Baru ketika aku mendengar pintu tertutup, aku melihat ke atas saat dia masuk. Mata hijaunya selalu menakutkan. Dia duduk di kursi dan terus melihatku. Aku perlu menjaga jarak antara aku dan mereka semua. Aku mempersiapkan diri dan berbicara. Aku tidak yakin bisa bicara tapi aku harus.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night.

No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
