Six years later.

Ximena's POV

"Sir, please calm down. This is a hospital, you are disturbing other patients," a young beautiful girl dressed in a nurse uniform pleaded.

The man tossed a chair. It crashed loudly on the floor. The nurse flinched.

"I told you to bring a doctor right away. Why aren't you bringing one? Do you want my boss to bleed to death!" he yelled at the top of his voice. The nurse kept quiet not knowing what to say anymore.

I sighed standing up from the chair I was sitting in and taking a nap. I yawned and stretched loudly. "Who is causing a ruckus so late at night?" I muttered walking towards them with sleepy eyes. The man eyed me angrily. "Who the hell are you?" he asked.

"Me?" I asked, pointing towards myself. "I'm just a peaceful citizen whom you've succeeded in ruining her sleep with your unpleasant voice," I replied, sounding irritated.

He scoffed. "Little girl, do you know who you are talking to?" he asked in disbelief. I opened my slightly closed eyes wider and slowly observed my surroundings. A man in a suit was holding his injured and bleeding head, a nurse was standing beside him shivering from fright and the man who was yelling and speaking rudely was also wearing a black suit. There was part of the gang no doubt. And their boss seemed to have gotten injured during a fight.

"Am I supposed to know who you are? Are you popular?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Why you little....," he started angrily but I cut him off.

"You woke me up from my beautiful sleep, did you know that? The nurse already informed you that the doctors on duty are in emergency surgery. If you don't want her to treat your boss, wait for them quietly and stop disturbing the peace of this hospital with your ranting," I said. He looked livid as his hands curled into fists beside him. The veins on his head bulged from anger, it was very obvious because he was bald.

"I will never let a nurse touch my boss. Bring the most skilled doctor you have, right now!" he barked for the umpteenth time. I closed my eyes to calm myself down before opening them.

"If you won't allow a nurse, wait for the doctor. We have sick patients here that need utmost rest and your barking is only worsening their situation," I explained, trying to reason with him.

"No! Do you know who we are? We never wait for anyone. Wherever we go, we get attended to first," he barked again. That was it, my patience was out. First, he disturbed my sleep with his terrible voice and now he's barking and giving me a headache. I tried to reason with him but it just was not working. He was being unreasonable.

"I tried to talk things over with a scumbag and he just won't listen," I mumbled I knew his type really well. He won't listen to anything I have to say. He only understands one language and I will speak it with him really soon.

"What did you just call me?" he asked angrily. The nurse shook her head negatively, probably wanting to tell me not to argue with him. I walked towards him and said right to his face. "Scumbag," I repeated with a smile.

He growled fiercely. His eyes changed color as he bared his canines at me, snarling ferociously.

"You want to shift right now? Go ahead and shift. Then you and your boss will get kicked out. We have a no-violence policy here," I said calmly. His eyes changed back to normal and he raised his hand to slap me. But before he could, I tightly grabbed his wrist. His face scrunched up painfully but I didn't let go.

"I was right. You are truly a scum bag. Only a scumbag like you would hit a woman," I said, letting go of his arm. He staggered backward holding his reddened and swollen wrist. His golden chain dangled on his chest.

"You should probably wait with your boss and treat your hand also. You can send me the bills," I said.

"You b***h! Guards!" he yelled and more men in suits rushed in. By this time, patients had gathered around. I sighed. I had wanted to end this peacefully but it seemed this man was a lover of violence.

"I want you to teach that rude girl a lesson she will never forget in her life. Next time she sees someone with this tattoo, she will run for the hills," he yelled. Now that he mentioned it, I noticed his tattoo. It looked like their gang's symbol. One of them suddenly came at me without warning. Before he could touch me, I held his hand and sent him flying backward. He screamed in pain as I held his hand and twisted it.

They all looked stunned as they instinctively moved back.

"What are you all doing? Deal with this girl immediately. Are you scared of a mere girl?" the man with the golden chain growled. Another came towards me but I punched him on the face with my other hand while still holding onto the other man's hand. I straightened my neck looking bored. The rest didn't dare move close to me anymore including the golden chain man. He stared at me in shock.

"What are you? A gangster?" he asked. I scoffed. The security guards trooped in and seized them just when the doctors started to come out of the operating room.

"Doctor Ximena, are you okay?" the nurse asked worriedly, coming to stand beside me.

"D..doctor? You are a doctor?" he stuttered in shock. I let go of the whimpering man I was holding onto his wrist.

"The doctors will take care of your boss now," I replied and left the scene. The nurse followed after me. I suddenly stopped.

"What is it, Doctor? Are you hurt somewhere?" she asked worriedly.

"They disturbed my sleep. How on earth will I be able to get any sleep before my shift begins? Should I have just broken his wrist completely?" I asked, sounding quite angry. The nurse stared at me speechlessly.

We walked around the wards together where I talked to my patients to know how they were feeling. I was a gynecologist so my patients were mostly females. After making my rounds, I walked to my office and wore my lab coat. I sat on my chair and waited for my next appointment after wearing my glasses.

A knock sounded on the door soon enough, I permitted the person to come in. A woman walked in and sat in a chair in front of me happily after we exchanged pleasantries. She was one of my patients whom I had started treating about three months ago. She had been married for over ten years but she didn't have a child. Her husband almost divorced her after his parents pressured him to. They needed a successor and they blamed the woman for not being able to give them one.

But after I ran a series of tests and found out that one of her Fallopian tubes was blocked, we resumed treatments immediately and I was excited to hear that she was now pregnant. I was so happy for her. Motherhood is a thing of joy and happiness and I'm glad she got to experience that. She left after a while.

I knocked over an award by mistake. My office was filled with different kinds of awards. The latest one I got was for the best Gynecologist of the year. Although, I had already gotten that twice in a row. I removed my glasses and rubbed my tired eyes. My stomach rumbled loudly, reminding me that I'd had nothing to eat that evening. I stood up and decided to walk to the hospital canteen before they closed. I should hurry up before another patient came because I had a lot of them today, I thought as I headed towards the door. I suddenly heard a knock.

I sighed, turning back to sit on my seat. My patients beat me to it every time. I permitted the person to come in. The person walked in and grabbed my arm from behind. Out of instinct, I grabbed his hand and tried to flip him over on my table but he held his stance. He was well-skilled and he would not allow me to turn around and see his face. We continued to wrestle with my back turned against him. He pulled me closer to his chest.

"Hello doctor Ximena Martinez. Did you miss me?" he asked, sounding amused. I recognized his voice immediately. I knew he was the one even before he spoke, I just wanted to teach him a lesson for messing with me. I stepped on his leg and rammed my elbow into his hard chest. He groaned but I knew it didn't affect him at all. I turned towards him with my arms crossed in front of me.
