The Anatomy Of Us
- She never expected her life to turn this way. A woman devoted to saving lives, a doctor who had sacrificed sleep, sanity, and sometimes even her own happiness, just to keep her patients alive. Every day was a battle against death itself-and often, she lost. Each failure left scars no one could see. And then came Chase. A man draped in darkness, a mafia whose hands were stained with blood. He was everything she despised-ruthless, merciless, a predator in a world where she had vowed to be a healer. Falling in love with someone like him was the last thing she ever wanted. Yet the heart is a traitor. Against her will, against her reason, it beat faster whenever he was near. But fate played cruel games. For the very patients she fought desperately to save, the bodies brought in broken and bleeding... were victims of the very man she loved. His bullets created the wounds she stitched, his violence the cause of the shadows beneath her tired eyes. She asked herself a thousand times- How could she love a monster? And yet, every time she looked at him, she found the answer buried in the silence between them: Because sometimes, the heart chooses even when the soul refuses.

"Fine, so when am I going to see you?" I asked, pushing aside my doubts and hoping for a different answer this time. There was a pause on the other end of the line before Bobby replied, his tone serious. "I can't promise you that, sweetheart." His response stung, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt. "You don't trust me, do you?" I asked, my voice tinged with disappointment. But there was no reply. "Hello?" I prompted, hoping for some reassurance. ©Krystalfrancis2020 (NB: THIS BOOK WAS REWRITTEN FROM MY ORGINAL PROFILE. THIS IS THE NEW VERSION OF THE BOOK DUE TO ADJUSTMENTS)Complete
