It's been a week since the dinner between me and Leo. I woke up in my bed the next morning with Leo's note on my table lamp. This meant that Leo put me to bed.

When we were watching the movie I felt Leo's hand on mine, without thinking I interlaced my fingers with him and he gripped it tighter.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Leo, smiling. I don't know what is happening between me and Leo but whatever it is, I am looking forward to having it.

Leo and I contacted only 2 times this week as he has gone to Italy for a business deal and is coming back tonight.

My day in the hospital was awful many patients today couldn't make it. Dr William was also present in hospital-like other regular doctors for a disciplined amount of time.

The complaint which I submitted was declined because I didn't have enough proof and they are not taking Dr Nolic and Jul as my witnesses.

Right now I am heading to bed, my phone kept beeping from someone's message. Reading my messages my limbs stopped working, my breath started to close down.

It was from Dr William.

I love you, Savanah. I can't stop thinking about you from the day I met you and what things I wanna do to your body for me I am gonna fuck your tight little pussy so bad that your pretty little hands will shake next time you come in front of me. I am gonna make every part of your body beg to me like a pretty little whore. I am gonna make you my whore soon.

Reading this message made my eyes teary, I can't believe someone can write this vulgar thing to a woman.

I took a screenshot of the message and wrote an email to both my chief and the medical administrator of our hospital hoping they will consider this as potential evidence for sexual harassment.

After emailing the email I went to bed, but I couldn't sleep, my eyes were still running. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely alone not being able to tell to someone how I feel.

I wanted someone just to be here for me to hug me and tell me it's okay you have got it. I am so tired of doing it on my own now. I need someone. I need you.

I couldn't call Jul because she was having her date with Connor and I wouldn't like to destroy people's happiness because of my crisis.

For a split second, I wanted to call Leo, but couldn't.

The whole night I kept crying and I couldn't sleep. I called my hospital's reception desk to cancel all my surgeries tomorrow because with this headache I will not be able to do anything.

The darkness was defeated by the bright yellow sun rays but not in my life. I have to go to the hospital and face that scum now.

Reaching the hospital for the first time in my life my head was low with shame it felt like people could read the message printed on my face.

As I continued to walk looking down I bumped into someone. It was Cole. I smiled at Cole and started to walk past him.

"Savanah," Cole called me which made me stop in my steps. His voice was soft, not loud or alarming which made me realise that he might know about it.

"Dr Noilc wants to see you in his office." My eyes were on the verge of having a waterfall. I looked up at Cole and nodded.

Cole was not looking at me like he used to look at me before. He looked at me sympathetically his demeanour changed towards me like I am some broken doll.

That doll is no longer useful but you still, keep it carefully so it doesn't get ruined completely.

I made my way to Dr Nolic's cabin. I was not able to lift my head to look him in the eyes. With controlling the shivering in my voice I spoke.

"You asked for me Dr Nolic," I asked.

"Dr Savanah, I have sent your email to the medical administrator. Soon they will respond and trust me if they will not I am here for you. I am so sorry my child I couldn't be there for you." Dr Nolic said.

It nearly broke me apart, I couldn't stop crying Dr Noilc gave me a glass of water to drink and numerous tissues to wipe my tears. My eyes were swelled up from all the crying sessions and I was barely able to see people.

I haven't told Juliet yet, because I know she will tell Connor and then Connor will tell Leo and seriously at this time I don't want him to see me like this.

I wanted to talk to my mom but I couldn't she can't help me, I kept rotating my phone in my contemplating to whether call my mom or not.

But eventually decided not to.

My phone rang and it was Leo. I sighed and picked it up hoping my sound doesn't sound that cracked.

"Hi, how are you," I asked.

"Are you okay your voice doesn't sound good, if you want I could come and we can have dinner together?" Leo said.

I wanted to have Leo with me more than anyone else but I don't want him to show how weak and lonely I am. He will leave me.

"I am good just tired from the work, I am just heading to bed good night Leo," I said, before he could say anything further I hung up the phone.

I could sense that Leo will be hurt the way I just shut him off, but if not I wouldn't be able to hold myself and call Leo here to be with me.

..............

It's been three days since Dr Nolic filed the complaint to the medical administrator and still, there is no response.

I am working in the hospital as I usually do, only to transfer all my surgeries to Jul because I am being a hell of distracted because of that.

For the past three days, Jul kept asking me what happened but I told her that I am just tired.

I am also ignoring Leo's call I only reply to his messages. He insisted to meet me but I shoved his offer saying I have too many patients to attend to.

God knows what will happen if Leo will come in front of me. I could barely keep my voice straight in front of Jul.

Right now I am just having rounds and checking up on my patients. Generally, we do not keep our mobile phones with us when we are on duty but today I kept my phone in my pocket just in case I get an email.

As I was roaming the corridor when suddenly a man came in front of me that I despised the most with his smug face on.

"Dr Savanah could you please accompany me to my office if you wish not to create a scene here." Dr William said while saying the last part quietly.

I looked around to see anybody to help me but could find anyone. A shiver ran down my whole body, my hands were in the pocket fidgeting with my phone. I quickly nodded and started following him.

Through the walk to hell, I kept clutching and tapping on my phone because I was scared I was not able to make the sudden pain in my fingers stop.

Soon we reached his office. As I entered, Dr William turned on his her and started laughing loudly.

I could sense the storm coming for me. I couldn't keep my tears controlled anymore.

"Oh, my sweet Savanah what made you think, that you can complain about me twice and get the justice." William scoffed.

"I did write that message to you to tell you how I feel about you, but you instead decided to hurt and reject my feelings."

I couldn't speak a word, panic started to take over me. Soon I would either end up hyperventilating or worse getting faint.

"From the last 4 years, I have been nothing but gentlemen to you, waiting for you to come to me by yourself, but not anymore."

William walked towards me and I kept walking backwards until my back hit the wall.

He extended his hand towards my face and tucked a strand of hair behind my hair.

"Don't touch me." I snapped at him with disgust filled in with my body.

William laughed at me and shoved some printed paper in my hands. It seemed to be some printed screenshots of chats.

The chats were forged. They were edited with my name on them asking him for getting me on a higher post, if not then he will suffer.

"Look Savanah, now you see what I can do with you. If I want I can destroy you in a minute with these fake edited messages and your real ones will still be a lie but I am too kind to do that thing to you." William said

William harshly cupped my chin and squeezed it hard.

"Please leave me you are hurting me," I begged. I couldn't believe this was me, if I wanted I could have tackled him down. But it seems like my body just gave up.

"Ahh. No no, I will only like for you to beg when I am inside you pretty little cunt." He said like it was nothing.

"Now you have 2 options, Savanah either you come to me voluntarily or let me ruin everything you have your medical career, your reputation, your name everything." William gritted.

"Meaning," I murmured.

"Sleep with me, tomorrow at 8 pm at the delight hotel. If your come everything will be fine and back to normal." He said.

"How could you do that?" I asked with a shivered voice.

"My love everything is fair in love and war, now go back home you need to get ready for tomorrow."

"Plus don't try to tell this to Dr Nolic, I have some things planned for your precious Juliet too." He laughed.

I couldn't do this too Jul, she always wanted to be a doctor I can't let him take her dream away from her. But also I am not going to sleep with him just for my job. I can't survive this.

I turned to leave his office but then he kept his disgusting hands on my shoulders.

"Don't you try to resign or left the country because the moment you do that, I am gonna ruin both you and Juliet, understood?" He said and laughed like a maniac.

I exited his office and rushed outside of the hospital to the parking lot. I needed to get somewhere safe, alone away from all my troubles.

I started my car and kept driving until I reached the hill where Leo first brought me when he warned Dr William.

I got down out of my car and went to the hill and sat under the tree on a bench.

The place was silent as a dead, no person could be found under 2 km. I finally let go of myself. I decided to cry until tears finish, but it didn't seem to end soon.

My phone kept buzzing with messages but I didn't pay any heed to them. At this time I had no one to talk to, who could just tell me everything will be fine they had my back.

I can't even die, what if I die and he uses the information to destroy Jul, I can't see anything bad happening to people that I love because of me.

My whole life I have never been so tired, I never gave up but today I can't take it anymore. I need rest.

I kept crying and stared at my hand for a long, deciding whether to drink that rat poison or not.
