Chapter 7

Emily was confused on her spot, she didn't quite understand what was going on, but she understood the part where Lucas dug about her parents' debt.

He had no right to do such a thing, and how dare he outline a contract for her, was this some kind of joke or something?

‘Who does he think he is anyway’

Emily threw the paper away and stood up from the sick bed.

“I have told you the truth already, if you don't believe me, then it's your choice? So what if my parents owe a debt of a hundred million dollars, I will settle my issues myself, who are you to meddle into my affairs!”

She raised her voice.

“You are just a stranger that I met today. What gives you the right to outline what I must do? In fact, I am not selling my gallery to you again. I will find somebody else and don't come close to the building again, or I will call the cops on you”

Emily turned leaving, but Lucas' words stopped her.

“You are the girl on the video, I have never been wrong in my life, and I believe you know that I am telling the truth”

Emily eyebrows pushed together, yes, she was truly the girl on the video, but she didn't know how she ended up there, and what day it was, she had no idea about anything that happened in the video.

It could be editing, perhaps Mr. Lucas here is a scammer, a high-level one.

“So what if I am the girl in the video, I don't remember anything”

Emily turned to face Lucas with a deadly expression.

“That could only mean that you edited the video, this could get you in trouble if I report it to the police”

Lucas picks the paper on the floor.

“Miss Emily, the video wasn't edited, you are truly the girl on the video”

Lucas straightened up and faced Emily fully.

“Like I said, what I offer you will benefit both of us. I know you don't want to sell your art gallery, so I am offering to pay the debt while you keep it”

Emily eyebrows slowly raised to her forehead as Lucas continues.

“In turn you will do anything I ask you to do without complaints. What I will be demanding from you is simple. All I want is for you to follow the doctor procedures on how to retrieve your memories”

Lucas hands Emily the documents.

“I don't want you change your mind halfway that's why I drafted this contract so none of us loses”

Emily stares at Lucas, he sounded like a predator that had never missed a prey.

It was true that she didn't want to sell her art gallery.

She had many young artists under her, waiting to explore the world of art, She vowed from the beginning that any artist that would sign under her gallery must become famous.

That was why she hesitated for a long time on selling the gallery but the time to repay the debt was drawing closer, and she didn't have the personal money to pay for it.

She came herself because she wanted to make sure the buyer continued with her plans for the art gallery for the next two years, that was why she came to the country, but things had turned out differently.

Apart from other artists' work, the majority of the works there belong to her, she doesn't ever want to sell it.

Emily took the document from Lucas' hands. Lucas sounded.

“Everything is stated correctly and won't be changed after you sign, if you refuse to obey my instructions, you will have to pay a billion dollars”

“What if I don't remember anything”

Emily sounded as she carefully looked at the rules and conditions. She would have to obey Lucas' every instruction, and his instructions would be aimed at assisting regain her memory. She has the right to refuse if Lucas instructs her on anything outside the doctor's procedures.

“One Month”

Lucas sounded, Emily faced him, and he continued.

“If you don't remember anything in the expand of thirty-one days, this contract would be void, and I will pay your debts as a compensation of wasting your time”

Emily went through the contract again, recovering one's lost memory might be a rough experience, but she was willing to try, she had nothing to lose, whether she remembered the memories or not, she would still be paid a hundred million dollars.

She finished going through the documents. How rough would one month be? She would rather do this than sell her gallery. She still has thirty-two days to repay her parents' debt, so everything fell in place.

Emily took the pen Lucas was holding and signed the three documents.

“Thirty one days it shall be”

She finished signing the three documents.

“I will keep one, and give one out to my lawyer”

Lucas took the three documents and handed one to Emily.

Emily took the document from him and put it inside her bag. She brought a mini bag with her to Lucas' office.

“I really need to be at home right now”

Emily turned to leave.

“We haven't exchanged contacts”

Lucas and Emily exchanged contact and Lucas sounded again.

“I will take you home”

Emily paused for a while before she agreed to his words, Lucas has the power to boss inside her private life, and show up unannounced if he has anything that will help with her memories, and she has no right than to follow him immediately or try out whatever method he discovered.

Lucas took Emily home, this time he wasn't driving a luxurious car, but it was a little eye-catching.

He didn't want to cause any trouble for Emily that was why he didn't drive his car, and now that he had discovered the girl who holds the truth to everything, he planned to keep an eye on her and protect her 24/7.

They arrived at Emily's home, Lucas and Emily came out of the car at the same time, Emily pointed at her home.

“This is my place”

Her aunt helped her secure this two-bedroom flat back when she was outside the country. She gave it to her aunt because she doesn't plan to stay in the country, so this is basically her aunt's place.

The door opened and two women and a little girl came out from the house.

“Mom!”

Mia rushed to her mother and hugged her legs.

Emily faced Lucas.

“This is my daughter Mia, she is five years old”.
