Trapped By The President's Dangerous Secret
I was just a urologist trying to survive my first solo VIP consult. The patient was an arrogant, terrifying man who refused a basic exam.
But an hour later, I was in the ER, watching his seven-year-old son bleed out on the operating table.
The boy had the rarest blood type in the world—Rh-null. And so did I.
I gave my blood to save the kid, thinking that would be the end of it. I was completely wrong.
The terrifying VIP was Auguste Raymond, the President of the United States.
Because the traumatized First Son woke up crying for me, the White House didn't just thank me. They took me.
My own mentor blackmailed me with my mother's nursing home fees, threatening to cut off her medical funding if I didn't comply.
The Secret Service shoved me into a black SUV, confiscated my phone, and forced me to sign a strict NDA.
I was stripped of my medical career and locked inside the West Wing. I gave my blood to save his only son, and in return, the President made me his prisoner.
Standing in the Oval Office, facing the most powerful man in the free world, I realized my normal life was over.
"Your medical duties are suspended indefinitely. You are nothing but a nanny now," he ordered coldly.
I looked at the encrypted burner phone they handed me, typed a single text, and accepted my golden cage.
"I'm in."

Chapter 8
Hayes swiftly swept the photos and the dossier back into the envelope, shoved it into the drawer, and locked it.
He unlocked the door.
Cromwell burst into the room.
The hospital CEO was sweating profusely, his expensive silk tie pulled loose.
He grabbed Ana by the upper arm, his fingers digging into her flesh.
"They're here."
Ana tried to yank her arm away, wincing in pain. "Who is here?"
Cromwell swallowed hard, his eyes wide with fear.
"The White House motorcade. They are parked at the loading dock."
Ana gasped.
Her mind instantly jumped to the worst conclusion. The President had sent his men to arrest her for knowing too much.
"The Oval Office sent direct orders," Cromwell panted. "You are to report to the White House immediately."
Ana backed away, hitting the edge of the desk.
"No. I'm not going."
Hayes stepped up beside her. He gripped her shoulder, his fingers pressing hard into her collarbone.
He leaned close to her ear.
"If you refuse, you bring the wrath of the federal government down on this hospital. And when the board gets angry, budgets get reassessed. I'd hate to see your mother's 'non-essential' experimental treatments cut from the financial aid program to appease them. Do you understand me, Ana?"
Ana bit her lower lip so hard it bled.
The metallic taste of defeat filled her mouth.
She was trapped under the crushing weight of power and poverty.
Cromwell practically dragged her out of the office.
They rushed down the sterile, fluorescent-lit service corridors to the back of the hospital.
Ana pushed through the heavy metal exit doors.
Three massive, black, bulletproof Chevrolet Suburbans idled in the dark alleyway.
Agents in dark suits and sunglasses stood by the vehicles, creating an impenetrable perimeter.
Ana recognized the lead agent standing by the middle SUV.
It was the same man who had pointed a gun at her head in the ER.
He pulled open the heavy rear door of the Suburban and gestured for her to get in.
Ana looked back over her shoulder.
Hayes stood in the doorway, giving her a slow, encouraging nod.
She took a deep breath, her chest tight with dread, and climbed into the back seat.
The door slammed shut behind her, sealing her inside.
The interior of the SUV was pitch black.
Sitting across from her was a woman with sharp features and cold eyes.
"I'm Agent C. J. Stone," she said.
The motorcade accelerated smoothly, merging into the D. C. traffic.
C. J. handed Ana a thick stack of papers.
"Sign this Non-Disclosure Agreement."
Ana squinted in the dark. "I can't read this. I need to see what I'm signing."
C. J. leaned forward, her voice devoid of warmth.
"If you don't sign it right now, this vehicle will reroute to an FBI interrogation facility."
Ana's hands shook as she took the pen and scribbled her name on the last page.
C. J. snatched the papers back.
She pulled out a metal detector wand and ran it aggressively over Ana's body, followed by a harsh, invasive pat-down.
Ana's cheeks burned with humiliation, but she kept her mouth shut.
She looked out the tinted window.
The illuminated obelisk of the Washington Monument flashed by.
The motorcade turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue.
The imposing white columns of the White House loomed in the night.
The gates opened, and the vehicles pulled up to the West Wing.
Ana's heart hammered against her ribs.

I worked three double shifts at the garage just to buy a velvet-boxed cake for my wealthy girlfriend, Arleen.
But when I pushed open the VIP room door, I saw her lover kissing her bare leg.
She didn't push him away. Instead, she laughed and swirled her martini.
"I only forgot Finn because I knew he would stay. He is a poor boy from Queens who follows me around like a loyal dog."
Later that night, her lover intentionally crashed a Porsche to scare me, sending a piece of jagged metal into my skull.
Lying in a growing pool of my own blood, I watched Arleen crawl out of the wreckage.
She didn't even look at me. She threw herself at her uninjured lover, screaming for a medic.
"He just got scraped by a piece of plastic. He is faking it. Deal with Jaquez first!"
When I woke up, I wasn't free. Arleen had locked me in a private hospital wing with 24-hour security, planning to isolate me and keep me as her broken, captive toy forever.
My blind, pathetic devotion finally froze into absolute disgust.
I looked at the heart monitor next to my bed and grabbed an IV needle.
I severed the sensor wire to trigger a flatline, slipped out the fire stairs while the nurses panicked, and burned my identity to ashes.
This time, I was going to disappear to London, build my own empire, and watch hers burn.

Alina was the eldest daughter of the prestigious Padilla family, but everyone mocked her as a defective dud who couldn't cast a single spell.
The moment she woke up, her father and younger sister Karina barged into her room, demanding she sign a transfer agreement to the Aethelgard Order-the most brutal faction on the continent.
It wasn't just a transfer; it was a legal disownment. In her past life, Alina didn't realize Karina was also reborn. She had dropped to her knees and begged to stay. Her reward? Her magic was violently drained from her veins by her own family. Her fiancé drove a blade through her chest, and her sister stood over her bleeding body, smiling. She had ruined her hands making potions for them, only to be discarded like trash.
The phantom pain of her chest being ripped open still burned behind her ribs. Looking at the hypocritical family waiting for her tears, she felt nothing but exhausting disgust. Why should she ever be their stepping stone again?
"For the honor of the family, you leave today."
Her father sneered as she calmly bit her thumb and pressed her bloody fingerprint onto the contract. This time, Alina didn't cry. She packed a single bag and walked out the door, heading straight for the deadly Aethelgard Order to show them what a true monster looked like.

Clara came home from a fourteen-hour board meeting to the sound of a piercing scream in the playroom.
When she rushed in, she found her husband, Chadwick, kneeling on the floor in a panic.
But he wasn't looking at their five-year-old son, Leo, who had a massive bleeding welt on his forehead.
Instead, Chadwick was trembling as he held the nanny's daughter, Autumn, who barely had a microscopic scratch.
"She needs ice. And antibacterial ointment," Chadwick snapped, carrying the nanny's daughter away and leaving his bleeding son behind.
From that moment, the nightmare only escalated.
Chadwick ordered Clara to cook a three-hour meal for the nanny's kid, threw away Leo's favorite toys because Autumn sneezed, and even secretly took the nanny and her daughter on Leo's promised Disney trip.
The final humiliation came at the Met Gala.
Right before their sponsor speech, Chadwick received a frantic call from the nanny claiming Autumn was having a panic attack.
He abandoned Clara in front of hundreds of flashing cameras, sprinting out of the ballroom.
Clara stood completely alone, the humiliation eating through her veins like acid.
She couldn't understand how a father could call the nanny's kid his "little princess" while watching his own son cry.
Why was he treating his own flesh and blood like garbage just to play savior to another woman's child?
Suddenly, the blinding camera flashes were blocked by a massive shadow.
Erasmo Chase, the heir to New York's largest financial dynasty, stepped out of the darkness and shielded her.
"A man like that is unworthy of your grief, Ms. Best," he whispered, pressing a silk handkerchief into her trembling hand.
Looking at the sharp profile of the powerful man beside her, Clara's shock hardened into a lethal, cold fury.
She was going to dump her family's shares, crash the board, and make Chadwick lose absolutely everything.

For three years, I scrubbed tables as a "wolfless runt," hiding my identity as the Lycan King's daughter.
It was a test for my fiancé, Alpha Connor. I wanted to see if he loved the girl, or just the crown.
He failed spectacularly tonight.
His mistress, Jaden, deliberately knocked a tray of drinks onto me during the dinner rush.
The liquid wasn't alcohol. It was concentrated silver.
My flesh hissed and bubbled as the poison ate through my skin, blocking any ability to heal.
I fell to the floor, clutching my melting hand, while Jaden faked tears and claimed I attacked her.
When Connor finally answered the video call, he saw my mangled hand. He smelled the burning flesh. He knew it was silver.
But he didn't help me.
He looked at his watch, annoyed that I was interrupting his business meeting with investors.
"Apologize to Jaden," he ordered, using his Alpha Command to crush me into submission.
"On your knees. Now."
The pain was blinding, but the betrayal cut deeper. He was forcing his Fated Mate to bow to the woman who tried to maim her.
My knees bent under the pressure, but my Royal blood refused to break.
I looked straight into the camera lens.
"No," I whispered.
I reached into my apron, bypassing the notepad, and pulled out a black satellite phone I hadn't touched in years.
"Code Black," I said to the King on the other end. "Send the Guard."
Connor thought he was disciplining a waitress.
He didn't know he just declared war on the Royal Family.

Chelsi was down to her last fourteen dollars. After a humiliating job rejection for being "too low-class," the threat of eviction forced her to try live-streaming. Terrified of her exhausted, tear-stained face, she cranked the AR beauty filter to the max, morphing into a bizarre plastic alien.
She was immediately dragged into a forced streaming battle with Kamron, the platform's most arrogant top streamer. Seeing her distorted filter, Kamron sneered, unleashing fifty thousand fans to flood her chat with toxic insults.
Kamron set a ruthless penalty for her inevitable loss.
"You're going to take a bar of soap, scrub your face completely clean, and shove your bare face right into the camera."
Desperate to keep the fifty dollars she had just earned for rent, Chelsi begged for a different punishment, but Kamron coldly refused. With her heart pounding, she walked to the freezing bathroom, her hands shaking as she scrubbed her skin raw, bracing for the cyberbullying.
She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling utterly humiliated by the cruelty of the internet. Why did she have to be stripped of her dignity just to survive? She clicked off the filter, waiting for the tidal wave of disgust to destroy her.
But the insults never came. The high-definition camera revealed a breathtakingly delicate, flawless face that no algorithm could ever replicate. The chat went dead silent, Kamron was so stunned he dropped a ten-thousand-dollar virtual yacht, and a silent war between two mysterious billionaires was about to begin.
