The Psychopath's Doctor (His cure)

I'll do it

**Anita's Apartment**

**Morning**

**Anita's point of view**

The sun had just begun to rise, casting a soft golden glow through the window of Anita's snug apartment. As the light seeped in, illuminating the clutter of books and the half-empty coffee mugs strewn about the living room, Anita's still-sleepy mind wrestled with the events of the morning. The tranquility was abruptly interrupted when her phone rang insistently from the bedside table, its bright screen flashing the name "Kimberly" accompanied by a heart emoji and a small picture of a youthful woman grinning with enthusiasm.

“Who’s calling?” he asked groggily, pulling on a pair of slightly wrinkled shorts, his expression mired in confusion.

“Kimberly,” I replied, frowning as I watched his reaction unfold. The name seemed to hang in the air heavy with unspoken tension, and I couldn’t help but grimace as I glanced at the vibrant image on the screen, a stark reminder of the complexities in our lives.

“Oh... just drop it back on the bed,” he muttered dismissively, as if the reality of the situation was merely an inconvenience he wished to sweep aside.

My eyes narrowed as I couldn’t help but question the situation further. “Isn’t she supposed to be at the hospital?” I asked, deliberately rolling my eyes at him, feeling an impatient knot tighten in my stomach as I awaited his explanation. The fact that she was calling now, when she should be busy attending to her medical duties, only added to the unease brewing in me.

“She was supposed to be at the hospital by now,” he admitted, his voice lowering slightly as he began to pull on a fitted shirt, the fabric clinging to him in an all-too-familiar way. “She’s got a lot of patients to attend to today,” he continued, his tone losing some of its earlier indifference.

I took his words in, my skepticism rising. “You told me that you were going to break up with her,” I challenged, fixing him with an intense gaze that searched for the truth behind those eyes. “Why the hell is she still calling you? Or... haven’t you broken up with her?” My voice, tinged with disbelief, echoed in the stillness of the room, creating an air of confrontation I hadn’t intended but knew was necessary.

“Look, baby,” he said, his tone softening, almost pleading. “I will break up with her... I just need a little more time.” The words fell from his lips like a promise, but they felt tinged with hesitation, leaving me frustrated and confused, my heart racing with an unyielding mix of emotions. I felt my brows furrow deeply, an immediate frown forming on my face as I contemplated the gravity of his hesitation.

"Please, stop stressing about it, Baby," Nathan reassured me, a hint of urgency lacing his voice. "You know I don’t love her, so there’s really no point in letting it bother you. She means absolutely nothing to me." His words hung in the air, earnest and sincere, as he leaned in closer, his eyes locking onto mine. "I promise you, I’ll take care of this today, okay?" As he spoke, I felt a wave of relief wash over me, and I nodded in agreement, even though a small part of me still felt uneasy.

"Then why on earth are you still dating her if she means so little to you?" I challenged softly, barely able to keep the frustration out of my voice. "You really need to end things with her, Nathan. Otherwise, I swear I’ll intervene and help you break it off myself." My tone was playful, but the underlying seriousness was clear. In response, Nathan leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine, a warm kiss that momentarily distracted me from the tension swirling around us.

"Please, just don’t do anything rash, Anita. Just give me a few more days, and I promise I’ll break things off with her. I really do need to act quickly, though—I have two patients waiting for me, and I’m already late," he said, glancing at his wristwatch as if the mere act of checking the time could somehow erase the awkward situation we found ourselves in.

"Catch you later, Baby," he said with a soft smile, and I hummed in response, my eyes following him as he prepared to leave. As he turned to walk away, he added with a playful eye roll, "I’m definitely going to catch a lot of flak from Felix for this."

"He's such a buzzkill," I replied, chuckling to myself. "Honestly, considering that I’m off today, it’s a relief I won’t have to deal with his annoying face." His light-hearted laughter echoed back to me, a moment of levity amidst the tension.

"Are you going to swing back here after work, or will you head straight home?" I inquired, trying to gauge his plans. Nathan flashed me a teasing grin that hinted at mischief, and I immediately recognized the playful look in his eyes.

"I know that expression," I teased him, shaking my head playfully. "What are you planning?" He simply responded with a cheeky wink, and in that moment, I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of excitement, even within the complexities of our situation.

"I'll come back to you Baby"He said and pecked my lips before taking his phone from the bed.

"See you later, Baby.......Love you"He said and pecked me again before walking out of the room.

"Love you too Baby"I yelled and grabbed one of the pillows hugging it tight. I feel so good having Nathan to myself and I can't wait to see the look on that b*tch's face when she finds out that I've been with her beloved Nathan for more than 3 months now.

I hate her so much and I just wish that she disappears from this planet, I mean why must everyone compare her to me? ,I thought and hissed loudly. Especially that annoying Dr Felix, He was more fond of doing that but thank god my p*$$y sh*t him up. I've got him wrapped around my finger and he does anything I tell him to do as long as I spread my legs for him.

I bit my lips and laid on my back but just then I heard my phone ringing. I picked it up from my bed and saw that it was Tatiana, My bestfriend. She's also a doctor in the same hospital as I am.

"Hey what's up, Baby girl?"I said with a smile.

"I'm good girl, Are you still in bed??"She asked and I hummed with a raised eyebrow.

"Why??, Is something wrong??"I asked.

"Yes Anita, Kimberly has been assigned to be the personal doctor to Donovan Higgins"She said and I sat up immediately trying to process what she just said.

"Excuse..... Can..... Can you please come again"I said with a scoff.

"I said that Kimberly has been assigned as the personal doctor to Donovan Higgins"She said and I scoffed immediately.

"Which Donovan Higgins?,My crush??, Do you mean the son to Antonio Higgins??"I said with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course, Anita, do we have any other Donovan Higgins in the country??"She said and I gulped down my spittle immediately.

"Are...... Are you sure about this, Tiana??"I asked and heard her scoff.

"And why would I be lying to you, As a matter of fact...... This is on everyone's lips in the hospital as we speak. At first I thought it was a lie until Doctor Felix confirmed that it's the truth.......he's parents are in the hospital right now"She said and I bit my lips immediately.

"But that old folk promised me that I'll be the one that'll be assigned to be Donovan's personal doctor, I even had to go extra rounds the last time we had s*x just to make sure that he assigns me as Donovan's Doctor"I said with a deep frown.

"Seriously girl??.,I still don't know why you want to be the doctor to that psychopath, Could you believe that I heard that he had almost stabbed Collins last night when Collins wanted to give him an injection?, I know you're obsessed with him because he's handsome and rich but girlfriend...... I'm going to be sincere I actually don't think you should wish to be the doctor to him"She said but I hissed loudly.

"I don't care if he's mentally unstable Girlfriend, He's got the perfect body and also the perfect money...... Imagine taming him to myself"I said and laughed heartily.

"It Is I that should be assigned to be his doctor and I'm going to make sure that Felix assigns me instead, Infact I'm coming to the hospital right now"I said and stood up from the bed.

"See you later, bestie.....i gotta go get ready so expect me soon "I said and hung up with a smirk.

"There's no way that, that b*tch, Kimberly, Is going to that rich mansion....... I will be the one to treat my Donovan"I said and grinned before walking into the bathroom.

#BACK AT THE HOSPITAL#

Kimberly's point of view

I sighed and finally knocked on the directors office after contemplating for a while. A nurse came to tell me in my office that Dr Felix wants me in his office and somehow...... I'm suspecting that it has to do with what I heard in the restroom,I thought with a sigh. They were some huge well built guys standing by the door and somehow I knew that someone else was in apart from him.

"Come in"I heard and took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

I walked in to see Dr Felix seated on his seat with a man and a woman seating in front of him and they were no other than the alright Mr and Mrs Higgins.

"Good morning Sir, Good morning ma'am"I greeted and they immediately smiled at me.

"Good morning dear, You must be Doctor Kimberly"The beautiful lady who should be in her late forties or early fifties said and I nodded.

"Please take a seat"Dr Felix said and I sat down on the only empty chair in the room.

"You might be wondering why I called you here but don't worry, you'll find out in some minutes. Before I go on..... I would like to introduce you to Mr and Mrs Higgins, I'm sure you must have heard about them"He said and I nodded slowly. I mean who doesn't know the most richest man in the country.

"They need a big favour from us........and we're going to help them. You see...... Their son is not mentally stable and since he can't be admitted in the hospital because of a reason best known to us............. We want you to please be his personal doctor at home"They said and my heart skipped a beat immediately.

"You........ You want me to...... Go live in his house and treat him?, But I heard that he's very violent and has been hurting a lot of doctors sent to him.......I also heard that he had almost stabbed doctor Collins too. What if he hurts me too or worst still....... Kill me"I said and scoffed loudly. I heard them sighed but didn't turn to look at them. They should know that my life is on the line here,I thought and clasped my hands together.

"That's not true, doctor Kimberly, He's not that violent like you've heard"The woman said trying to defend her son.

"Oh really?, Then how do you explain the fact that he had almost stabbed someone that came to treat him"I said and noticed that she became speechless.

"He's not going to hurt you Kimberly, According to what the maid said...... She said that Donovan wasn't really trying to stab The doctor" Mr Antonio said.

"Please help us young lady, I promise I'll give you anything you want......just please help my only son"Mr Antonio begged desperately while I bit my lips.

"My life is worth more than anything,Sir"I murmured.

"I know....... He's...... He's my only son and if you refuse to help us.......How else do you want us to help him?,According to what the doctor said....... We heard that you're the best female doctor in this hospital and we want to try a female this time from this hospital"She said and I raised my eyebrows immediately.

"What do you mean by you want to try a female this time from here?, Has any female doctor been assigned to him before??" I asked and they sighed.

"My sister owns a hospital and that was where he was being treated at......I'm sure you know it. They gave him like two female doctors but they all left soon too..........please help us doctor Kimberly, I promise if he tries to get violent, you can quit"She said and that made me feel relieved.

"Please help us"They begged again and I took a deep breath.

"Fine...... I'll be his doctor but if he gets really violent I'll quit like you've said"I said and they smiled immediately.

"Thank you very much doctor, We're so grateful "They said and somehow I felt bad for them. Can't believe that their only son is a psychopath, I thought and gave them a faux smile.

To be sincere....... I'm not too comfortable with this decision but I'm going to give it a try because I've had really violent patients before and I handled it quite well so who's this psychopath thst I can't handle?, I'm quite a crazy lady and if he wants it the hard way...... I'll give it to him.I thought and smirked.

"I'll arrange for anything you need,Please if you need anything please give us a call"He said and stretched out one of his cards to me but I immediately shook my head.

"You don't need to, I'll take care of everything myself"I said and he smiled lightly.

"Once again thank you very much doctor Kim ,I'm so grateful for your decision"She said and I nodded.

"So...... When will she be starting??"She asked and turned to Doctor Felix.

"His case needs urgent care,I guess she'll start tomorrow,Since he refused the injection...... He needs his drugs the earliest"Mr Felix said and they nodded.

"What about my other patients, Here in the hospital?"I asked.

"They're still some doctors here, Kim, Don't worry we'll take care of them"He said and I nodded.

"I know you said that you don't want my help,but can you at least give me your address so that I'll send a driver to drive you to our house tomorrow"He said and I sighed before telling him my address.

"Thank you so much Doctor, I guess we'll be on our way then...... We've got an important place to be at now"He said the both of them stood up.

"Okay then, See you some other time"Dr Felix stood up too and they shook hands.

"Bye doctor Kimberly, I can't wait to have you at my house"She said and I bowed slightly as I watched them walked out of the room leaving just i and Dr Felix.

"Phew...... That was close...... Thanks for agreeing to be his doctor, Kim"Dr Felix said and I nodded.

"I trust you'll do a good job so I'm counting on you...... The whole of us are counting on you "He said and smiled widely and i almost scoffed. It's obvious that they've given him a lot of money,I thought and stood up.

"I'll be in my office, I need to start preparing for tomorrow, I said and was about to take a step when just then the door barged open as if the person had plans to break it down.......And just then she walked in with a frown glaring at me and I frown deeply too.
