" Ma'am the operation theatre and the patient are ready", A nurse said to a blonde hair woman who is sitting in her office checking out some files.
"I will be there shortly", she said.
"okay ma'am", the nurse replied bowing slightly as a sign of respect and went out if her office.
The lady worn her green surgical outfits and carried her stethoscope in her hands heading out of her office towards the theatre.
"Good day Miss Vera", a male doctor greeted her when she entered the operation room.
"Good day Doctor Clement, let's start this exercise. The patient's life is very important and we shouldn't waste time here", she said looking at the doctors and nurses.
"Nurse Fidelia, please give us a report on the state on the patient so we can know what we are dealing with", she said facing dark complexioned nurse standing beside her.
"Alright ma'am, the patient was rushed in here today at about 8:59 am. He was shot in the stomach, the police have already been contacted about the incident so we are free to start doctor Vera", Nurse Fidelia said giving the account accurately.
"what's his name?", Vera asked.
"Ronald Duke, the famous business tycoon. Owner of L&J construction company, Dallas , Texas", she replied.
"alright then let's begin".
The bulb outside the operation theatre door turned red indicating that an operation had just began.
Expentant faces were outside, a young girl with black emerald hair was pacing to and fro the reception.
"Merit, Merit what happened?", a handsome man with short golden hair yelled running towards her.
The lady turned back to look at him.
"Clifford", she said breaking into tears on his shoulders as he hugged her.
"Tell me what happened Merit", he said when she had calmed down a little.
"Ronald was shot at an event down town by some unknown men, we rushed him here immediately. I don't want to lose my brother, he's all I have in this world ever since we lost our parents", she said breaking into fresh tears.
Clifford took her to a seat close to them and patted her shoulders.
"Everything will be okay he won't die, I know Ronald to be a fighter he will be fine and I will make sure whoever did this pays with their life I promise you", he said with fury in his eyes.
Inside the theatre, the doctors are battling to save Ronald,"it seems the bullet penetrated into him deep, we need to bring it out as soon as possible", Vera said talking to the doctors.
The theatre light was shone on Ronald's body as the doctors had opened him up.
Detecting machines were connected to his body and an oxygen mask on his nose.
The heartbeat detecting machine began to beep loudly as the zig zag lines showing on it began to know straight and Ronald began to jerk on the bed.
"we are losing him", nurse Fidelia yelled.
After few hours, the bulb went off and Vera got out with her hair down as she had removed her surgical hat earlier.
she looked really hot despite the fact that she was stained with blood.
"A doctor's work is never done without spilling some blood", she always says.
Vera walked up to Merit and Clifford.
"I guess you both are relatives to the man that was brought in some hours ago", she asked.
"yes we are", Clifford said.
"Am his best friend and this is Merit Duke, Ronald's younger sister", he said pointing at Merit who sitting beside him still sobbing.
"well it's nice meeting you two, am glad to tell you that the patient's operation was done successfully. he is out of danger now", she said flashing them a smile that makes men drool over her.
Merit and Clifford exchanged glances and they hugged each other happily.
"oh my goodness, thank you doctor", Merit said disengaged the hug and hugging Vera too before disengaging.
"well it's my job, there's no need to thank me, your brother is a fighter. if you may excuse me I have work to do in my office and in case you would like to see him take the elevator and go to ward C his room is the first at your right", she said still smiling and walking away.
"oh my, Ronald's alive", Merit said happily palming her face.
"I told you didn't I ? Ronald won't leave us he can't meanwhile you should go and see him I would rush to the counter to pay the bills", Clifford said smiling at her.
She felt her heart flutter at his smile and watched him as he left her presence.
Merit immediately ran into the elevator that took her to her brother's ward.
She followed the directions given to her earlier by Vera and walked into Ronald's room.
she stood by the door looking at him and observing the machines connected to him before walking closer to his bed and sitting down on the chair beside his bed.
She began to rub his hand lovingly.
"hey big dude, you better wake up soon big head, you scared me a lot you know.

"hey", Clifford said poking his face into the door.
Merit smiled.
"come in you don't need to stand there", she said.
He walked in and sat beside her,"don't worry he will be fine". he said assuring her.
"I know", she said staring at Clifford.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ “I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
