The perfect Saturday evening. Kage was shirtless in sweatpants, working out in his mansion gym. Deep breath , Beads of sweat and a goal. Fitness matters.

He had just finished a set on the leg press machine and eased down onto the nearby bench, muscles aching but steady breaths calm. His gaze settled on the glass of kale juice Roseanne had made for him. The green liquid sat there, thick; unappealin and staring at him like an unwelcomd nemesis. He dreaded it but knew Roseanne only meant well.

She surely does.

It was his day off. Yet as a general surgeon, Kage knew the hospital could call at any moment if an emergency came up. Not like he wouldn't pass the case to the next available qualified doctor. He had so much to manage, his life and companies included.

The morning had been a blend of food and exercise; now, past midday, he was still here, reluctant but disciplined. Not like it was effective but Roseanne wouldn't let him slack and he loved that. She was the only perso

    The tailored Armani Blazer fit him perfectly. They were made just for him. The gray outfit went well with his glossy shoe. His Cartier Santos wrist watch wound around his wrist firmly. Last was his smirk and he knew he was ready. Standing in his garage, Kage watched his cars. He wanted to use something different, Not the regular BMW he uses to work. Without looking back, he heard the heels pop, Gina was walking towards him. In silence they both stared, Kage's gaze lingering on the sleek lines of the Rolls-Royce." This adds more visual detail.. It's been a while he rode that one too. Hands in his pocket, it was time to take this 'baby' on a ride. "Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail" Gina gasped. Kage looked at her. There was something about her sheepish smile and how she fixed her hair. Presses to her chest was an grey ipad, with her handbag over her shoulder, she looked like a librarian. "Sorry Sir. My father loves Cars. I know lots of cars too" she said with a litt

    The rise of sweet Autumn. Sweet October. Her mid length hair neatly combed. Her pearl earrings giving her the confident she always wanted. She missed fixing her nails, but there was nothing she could do. As Clara strolled toward her office, her gaze landed on Kage. Down the hall he was seated on his wheelchair; not like she expected him to be off it. His expression was unreadable, a perfect poker face as he sat chatting with Doctor Salomé. Clara’s eyes narrowed, anger flaring inside her. She blinked, doubting herself for a moment — but no, it was definitely Kage. The fact that he was talking to Salomé, who she always loathed, only made her blood boil more."Stupid Bitch!" Clara said In a low, bitter whisper before turning sharply and heading to her office. •Ping. Trying to settle her thoughts, Clara checked her phone and smiled faintly as she saw her salary had been paid. "Oh Clara, you are a wicked genius" She praised herself " Good hard work" she added.

    A lot of people dread Mondays but not this one. It was a day off the rigid hospital stench, a day off Nancy Tosh's preying eyes and a day off at home for Clara. She was extremely grateful for the break, especially with her midterm exam looming. Determined to prepare, she sifted through the stack of assignments, Quizzies and Projects on her desk. Feeling the weight of her cardiology PhD program settle on her shoulders–thoughts about quitting crept in. "No! I can't chicken out" she muttered. Her mind drifted to him, Kage. He was always quick to help her, breaking down complex concepts into something she could understand. She recalled when he would even make the projects ahead without her knowing. A reluctant smile tugged at her lips before she cussed under her breath at him. "That son of a gun!" She wasn’t about to give up; she'd tackle these assignments head-on. She would prove to him he was nothing more than a crippled, worthless, down-casting loser! She

  • 11: Worse day–better days.

    'Fvck! I can do this ' Clara sat stiffly in her office chair, the pale glow of the laptop screen casting edge shadows across her frowned face. She scrolled through her emails, then clicked over to the school website. • Upcoming exam. • Quiz • Dealine four hours away. Case study. How perfect! The assignment she hadn’t even started — Electrophysiology. "Unbelievable! Today?" She nagged. The very thought made her fingers freeze above the keyboard. She hated it. She hated everything happening. Every complex waveform, every tangled mechanism felt like a trap designed to break her spirit. It surely was designed recently because she could skip as much assignment as she wanted and nothing would happen. Frustrated, she slammed her laptop shut. "Why do I even have to prove myself for this stupid rubbish?" she muttered under her breath. Her phone buzzed quietly—just social media, not the notification she'd been expecting. There was no call from Mat

    Kage sat outside the hospital café, sipping slowly on his water as he waited for John to come pick him up. Sterile smell, The hum of the city buzzed around him, but his thoughts were focused on yesterday — the day Clara had shown up at his office unwelcom as always. It seems like something she would do but why? Was she fully aware he was working here now, deliberately stirring drama? Or was she simply blind to the reality, blindly walking into his life without care? She was getting more erratic. Not shocking at all.John would sight him quick. Since the cafe wasn't far from the parking lot, Kage remained seated in his wheelchair, watching people pass by. His attention was drawn to a family; mother and two daughters—who kept glancing his way, curiosity writ clear on their faces. Soon, the woman approached.She seemed hesitant at first .“I’m Jane,” she said warmly. “I just wanted to thank you. You saved my husband.”Kage blinked, the face not immediately coming to mind, but he smi
