💔BENEATH THE CROWN💔
(AMANDA’S TALE)
Written By RuchinaBlog
CHAPTER 3
Director Michael was one of the best surgeons in the hospital. He was not only handsome but also one of the most sought-after eligible bachelors in the hospital due to his wealth. This made most of the nurses, especially Nurse Nancy, have a crush on him. However, there was a problem: he had eyes for only one woman, which was me, and this caused the nurses, especially Nurse Nancy, to hate me.
I also had feelings for him, but I rejected his advances toward me just because of tradition. I secretly hoped that I would turn 25 soon so I could express my feelings for him. Yes, I was 24, and that’s why I held onto this hope until it was dashed this morning.
“Good morning to you too, Nurse Nancy,” I replied to her message from the director. I had always avoided the director because of his advances and my feelings for him, but right now, I didn’t know why he wanted to see me.
I walked down to his office and knocked. I heard his cool voice saying, “Come in.” I walked in and couldn’t stop my eyes from drooling at him for a few seconds.
“Ahem, good morning, Amanda,” he said, snapping me out of my reverie.
“Good morning, sir,” I replied. He stood up from his chair and walked towards me. I felt nervous and moved back a little, but he stopped me.
“Why are you doing this to me? To us? I know you have feelings for me as I do for you, but why are you avoiding it, just why?” he asked, almost to tears.
“I can’t, I can’t reciprocate your feelings because I have an obligation to my family, to my village, and to tradition,” I replied with tears in my eyes. I decided to confess my feelings to him so I could let go and move on.
“I do have feelings for you, but my village tradition dictates that all maidens must remain virgins until 25. Now, our king is de*d, and I must be available for the new king’s coronation, which is in the next 7 days. I don’t want any problems, so please move on.”
“I won’t give up on you,” he said before forcefully planting his lips on mine. I bit his lips hard, pushed him away, and slapped him.
“I said move on; we can’t be together. I am going to submit my letter of leave to the HR department. Please approve. If things don’t work out in the village, we will talk when I resume”. I said before walking towards the HR department.
NANCY’S POV
I smiled while looking at the photo on my phone, “I will ruin Amanda’s reputation and make her lose her job. Then I will have Michael all to myself. Oh, dreams do come true.” I smiled, daydreaming about myself in Michael’s arms, k*ssing me.
