She’s mine

A growing unease

Alessia's eyes never left Dr. Lee's face as he worked to stabilize her mother's condition. She couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something he wasn't telling her.

As the minutes ticked by, Alessia's unease grew. She didn't know what it was about Dr. Lee that seemed off, but she couldn't ignore the nagging sense of doubt in her mind.

Uncle Marcus seemed to sense her tension. "Alessia, trust me, Dr. Lee is the best," he repeated, his voice soothing.

But Alessia's instincts were screaming at her to be cautious. She didn't know what was going on, but she was determined to find out.

As Dr. Lee finished his examination and stepped back from the bed, Alessia approached him. "Dr. Lee, can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked, her voice firm.

Dr. Lee's eyes locked onto hers, his expression unreadable. "Of course, Miss Berry," he replied, his voice neutral.

Alessia's heart skipped a beat as she followed Dr. Lee out of the room. What was she going to find out?

Alessia followed Dr. Lee to a quiet corner of the hospital, her heart racing with anticipation. What was she going to find out?

Dr. Lee turned to her, his eyes locked onto hers. "Miss Berry, I think it's time we had a little chat," he said, his voice low.

Alessia's instincts screamed at her to be cautious. What did Dr. Lee mean?

"You see, Miss Berry, I'm not just a doctor," Dr. Lee continued, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'm also...an old friend of your family's."

Alessia's eyes narrowed. What did Dr. Lee mean?

Dr. Lee smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Let's just say that I've been keeping an eye on your family for a very long time," he said, his voice dripping with intrigue.

Alessia's mind was racing. What secrets was Dr. Lee hiding?

Suddenly, the pieces clicked into place. Dr. Lee wasn't just a doctor - he was also a spy,

Dr. Lee's eyes seemed to bore into Alessia's soul as he revealed his true identity. "I've been working for a government agency," he said, his voice low. "My mission was to keep an eye on your family and report back any suspicious activity."

Alessia's mind was reeling. What kind of suspicious activity could her family possibly be involved in?

Dr. Lee's expression turned serious. "Your family's business dealings have raised some red flags," he said. "We've been investigating possible connections to organized crime."

Alessia's eyes widened in shock. Organized crime? That was ridiculous!

But Dr. Lee's next words sent a chill down her spine. "And then there's the matter of your father's disappearance," he said, his eyes locked onto hers.

Alessia's eyes blazed with anger as she confronted Dr. Lee. "You're a spy?" she demanded, her voice low and deadly.

Dr. Lee's expression remained calm, but Alessia detected a flicker of unease in his eyes. "I prefer the term 'observer'," he said, his voice smooth.

Alessia's laughter was cold and mirthless. "Observer?" she repeated. "You've been lying to me, manipulating me...and you call yourself an observer?"

Dr. Lee's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze intense. "I've been trying to protect you, Alessia," he said, his voice low. "Your family is in danger...and I'm not the only one who's been watching you."

Alessia's heart skipped a beat. What did Dr. Lee mean?

Suddenly, the hospital room door burst open and Uncle Marcus strode in, his face pale and worried. "Alessia, I need to talk to you," he said, his voice urgent.
