Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 1

In the duty room of the hospital, Camila Haynes was putting on her doctor uniform. Tonight was the first night of her marriage. But when a colleague had asked Camila to take her shift for the night, she had gone straight to the hospital without hesitation.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Camila straightened her lab coat and smiled bitterly. No one cared where she went anyway.

All of a sudden, the door was violently kicked open from the outside, sending it crashing against the wall.

Before Camila could look up to see what was going on, she heard the Click of the light switch, and the whole room became pitch black.

Scared out of her wits, Camila trembled, her hair standing on end. “Who’ s—”

Before she could get another word out, she was suddenly shoved down onto the table. With a loud clatter, the things on the table fell to the floor. Camila could feel the coldness of a sharp blade being pressed against her neck, and a strange voice barked, “Quiet!”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

When her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could barely make out the man’s face, though his eyes stood out. They were sharp and cold.

The metallic smell of blood filled her nose. Instantly, she knew that this man was injured.

Maybe it was because of her training as a doctor, she was used to staying calm and level-headed even in situations as scary and stressful as this.

She subtly lifted her leg in an attempt to kick the man. But the second she moved, the man noticed and forcefully pressed her restless leg down.

“I saw him heading this way!” a voice sounded from the distance.

Then, Camila heard the sound of footsteps approaching them.

It seemed that they’d barge in any second now.

In a moment of desperation, the man suddenly lowered his head and pressed his lips against Camila’s.

Wide-eyed, Camila struggled to free herself from his forceful kiss and shoved the man away. Fortunately, he didn’t hurt her with the knife he was wielding.

Camila touched her lips in a daze, unable to wrap her head around what just happened.

Just then, she heard the sound of the doorknob turning.

Making up her mind, Camila gritted her teeth and wrapped her arms around the man’s neck. Without hesitation, she raised her head and kissed the man.

She whispered in a trembling voice, “I can help you...”

The man swallowed audibly. The next second, he made his move. His hot breath sprayed against her ear, and his voice was low and sexy.

“I'll take responsibility for this.”

But he seemed to have misunderstood her. Camila only meant to put on an act.
