Ellie’s POVKeeion and I arrived, along with Tedson and Arya at the venue with me still holding his hand. Keeion had his palm on his stomach and I, in turn, inserted my left hand into his elbow. Tedson and Arya looked the same when we arrived at the open field in front of the mansion. But now, there is this big tent where we take shelter, along with the other people we meet today.When our presence was noticed, the waiters and other workers we met greeted us one after another. They go in and out of the mansion because they are currently serving out other freshly cooked dishes. The staff and organizers assist the hacienda staff.“Good Morning, Miss Keeion. Good Morning, Ma’am Ellie, Miss Arya and Sir Tedson.”We return their greetings with a smile. By doing so, they also feel better. Especially since they are in charge of this big event all night. Some of them didn’t really sleep because last night the meat was cooked. I heard that some cows, pigs and chickens were taken to the farm to
Ellie’s POVEver since Keeion and I arrived here at the venue, he hasn’t let me get stuck next to it. I was with him to greet the guests who were coming. After a short talk, the waiters behind us would lead them to their tables."I never thought you had so many relatives!" I spoke to Keeion after the waiters accompanied the last relatives he spoke to.I can't count how many families have entered the venue.After all, they are just two brothers, Señor Alejandro and Señor Sebastian. I thought the little family was already in their race. Looks like I made a mistake. Maybe only Keeion's family has a small family member.I really wondered why Keeion was the only Son. That is why Señor Alejandro lived even though he had a dozen children. So is Señor Sebastian who will have only two children. Do they not want to multiply their race? What a beautiful race they are by chance!“Only Grandpa and Grandma's family has a small number of family members. But to the siblings of Lolo and Lola on both s
Ellie’s POVI don't know why the room I'm going to enter is a big deal to Señora Keilah. This is the room that has been given to me since I lived here in their mansion. So how come Keeion's room is what she's pointing out now as my room?“You should be with Keeion. You should only be in one room. If you have a misunderstanding, then fix it. You won't get to the point where you have to separate the room.”My forehead furrowed.I don't understand anything.Did the Señora explode?Why would Keeion and I be in the same room? Not because I'm his personal assistant. I am because we have always been together even in sleep. What is that? Is that one of the requirements of being their personal assistant?Señora no longer waited for me to speak. She stepped closer to me and stopped for a moment when she was honest with me. "Fix that, okay?"No words wanted to come out of my mouth so I just nodded. I was confused by what she said but I just pretended and acted like I understood her.She finally
Ellie’s POVAfter Keeion entered the bathroom, I went straight to where he was sitting earlier. This mini living room set is on the side of the glass window of its bedroom near the balcony. Even though the sliding door was closed there, I could still see the extent of that balcony because the door was made of glass. Its bedroom is far more spacious compared to the room I am staying in. It looks like a master’s bedroom.My attention was focused for a moment on what it was watching on the 75 inches flat screen tv glued to the wall. I don't know if it's a movie or a series but I'm only sure of one thing, action is the genre it's playing now on the screen.He loves the action genre.I was not interested in the action genre so I immediately got bored with what I was watching. I'd rather watch historical-fantasy movies than this with a plot and shooter. I can't change what I'm currently watching because I'm not a decision maker. Keeion opened this tv so he should also kill. Also, I was in h
Keeion’s POVI couldn’t sleep again after I saw Ellie writhing in a headache. I woke up to its loud moan. I was so nervous when I saw her fall to the floor holding her head. With so much pain she feels, she almost tweaks her hair. There were also a few tears streaming down her cheeks.I quickly got up from the sofa. I touched both of its shoulders. I tried to stop her from tweaking her hair.Concern engulfed me. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how I can alleviate the pain he feels. I don’t know how I can help her."Ellie, w-what's going on?""My head… it hurts!"Her every moan in turn gives me intense nervousness and panic. It was as if I could feel every pain she felt. My heart aches because of her condition. I can't bear to see her in this state.All I could do was hug her.I held her in both my arms as she writhed in pain.Somehow she calmed down. She buried her face in my chest. I can still hear her sobbing. I feel even heavier.“I’ll call Doctor Gutierrez,” I uttered.I hug
Keeion’s POV"Keeion!"I turned to the person who mentioned my name. I am currently cooking soup that Ellie will make for breakfast this morning when she wakes up. I was in the kitchen when suddenly a familiar voice rang out in the room.I was surprised because it didn’t even knock. I still instruct everyone, including Tedson, Arya and Aunt, to knock first and wait for me to open them when they know I'm inside.I wiped my wet hand on the apron I was wearing for a moment. I just finished washing the ingredients that I will mix in the soup.I walked to the door.I didn’t expect the person to come inside.“Dad?”He sneezed as he glanced at the sleeping Ellie. Fortunately, it didn’t wake up to Dad’s loud voice. He was still sound asleep because it was still six in the morning.Dad stepped onto the balcony. He motioned for me to follow him which I immediately did. I didn’t care what apron I was wearing. Dad probably knew I was cooking. Fortunately, I did not forget to turn down the fire on
Ellie’s POV"I guess you're thinking deeply?"I went back to my trance when Arya placed the juice and cookies in front of me.We are on the veranda and currently airing. Arya had just visited the plantations and immediately went straight to me to join me. I was with Aunt Cora here before but it also went down because she was supposed to be cooking.I was looking into the distance when Arya came to me.I can’t explain why I wasn’t on my own after learning what Arya had reported about my condition. To this day, that’s still what I think."Arya, if my lost memories start to come back, it means that at any time or day I will finally know my true identity, right?"I looked up at her. I still followed her gaze as she sat in the opposite chair.She was just looking at me too. Before answering me, she first pulled her hair out of her ear. This veranda is an open area and the wind is strong here. So it was nice to hang out here at noon because regardless of the sunshine due to the cold and fre
Tedson’s POV"Are you sure Keeion used a bank account?"I can't count how many times I've asked the company accountant about it. But even if I repeat it a hundred times, I will only get the same answer from him. The accountant and the financial manager will not change what they will answer me.Even though this is the answer I expect from them, I still hope that I want to hear what they have to say.That was Keeion’s fake bank account was used. Keeion didn’t take the company’s fifty-five million bucks. It wasn't Keeion who stole it. He can't do that. That thing is unlikely to happen.“Sir Tedson, we also do not expect to see the name of Mr. Keeion in the transactions we traced. It is clear which bank it transferred to and under the name of Mr. Keeion. We also confirmed that transaction with the bank itself and it is true that the transaction happened only last night.”I’m still not convinced by what it said.Keeion won’t do that.Why else would he take money from the company? In the fi
Ellie’s POV"W-What?""I said, '' I don't know you."I could barely move because of what he said. It asked me who I was. Even if I say my name, he still doesn't know me.“Keeion, it’s me, Ellie. I’m Eloise Valencia Ruiz, your wife." I don't know how many times I've repeated it to him but until now, he still doesn't remember me.What the? Seriously?"W-Wait, Keeion, you don't remember Ellie?" Tedson interrupted our conversation. Even he was confused."I'm already married?" her question. "But I can't remember her.""Keeion, I'm Ellie." I almost begged him to remember me.“Sorry, Miss. I don't know Ellie.”Tears welled up in my two eyes. Tedson noticed that so he patted my back."Let's just wait for what the Doctor has to say," he said.I helped him to go to the sofa first. I agreed because he felt weak. Who wouldn't be discouraged if the person you've been waiting for to wake up again doesn't remember you now that his consciousness has returned.Tedson and I sat on the sofa. Keeion left
Ellie’s POV“Ellie, can you come home first? You need some rest. The other day you were here, you didn’t get enough sleep. Come with me now.”I was taken aback when Arya tapped me on the shoulder. She was carrying a large bag in which were placed the clothes we used yesterday and today. It's already seven o'clock in the evening and it looks like she's going home to Keeion's condo to get things back the next day. This was also her routine the other day, the first day Keeion was in the hospital.I sat up straight and faced it. “I'm fine, Arya. I'm just here next to Keeion until he wakes up.”"Are you sure? We will take care of you if something bad happens to you. Keeion will definitely not like it if you feel bad when he wakes up.”I smiled to let her know I was fine. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to me."“Oh, okay. I'll go home first, huh? I'll just come back tomorrow and maybe Tedson will come here later so you still have someone with you.”I just nodded.I followed Arya's gaz
Ellie’s POVI was almost statuesque where I was when my two eyes witnessed firsthand how Keeion fell to the floor. I can not move. I wanted to scream but I was consumed with intense nervousness when I saw it was bloody.We all had no speech.Our brain is now processing what is happening.Until I was forced to shout its name."Keeion!"I avoided saying that again. I felt a series of tears trickle down my cheeks."Damn!" Tedson immediately stepped forward. He quickly supports Keeion. “Keeion, don’t give up. We will take you to the hospital right now.”At the same time as the police rumors, Sydney in turn released her gun. She trembled backwards as it stared intently at her own hand. Only now did she realize what she did. She herself shot Keeion. I will never forgive her in case something bad happens to my husband!"You're an indeed evil, Sydney!" I can't control my anger anymore. I almost killed her with the evil look of what I was throwing. "Look what you did to Keeion!""I-I didn't me
Keeion’s POV“Ellie is in danger right now. If you want to go to her, this is the exact address where she is now. Hurry up because she is in danger.”I stood up in shock and nervousness that I felt after I read the text message from the unknown number. That person just texted and I immediately read it because I was currently holding my cell phone."Keeion, is there a problem?" Tedson asked.Even he was shocked at my attitude. We were currently talking about the company’s operations so it surprised me when I suddenly stood up."Someone messaged me," I said.I don’t know if I’ll believe it right away. This came from an unknown number and messages are widespread today that if not scams or chain messages are pure threats."Oh, what did that person say?" he inquired after he closed the folder it held. He first stopped reporting to me to find out what message I had received."Ellie is in danger right now."He frowned. "What?" he asked aloud. “Who said that? How is Ellie in danger, didn’t yo
Ellie’s POV“What is it, Sydney? Let's stop this. Let go of Ellie and let's stop our plan. The outcome will not be good. This will lead to the worst situation so please, let's end this!”“Are you thinking, Cyfer? Are we going to stop now when we are about to get what we want?”I woke up to the shouting of two people near me.My head was still aching so I didn't get up right away. I could feel what was around me. I also rolled my eyes to every corner of the room where I am now. Its door was open so I could hear the two talking.Where am I?What did they do to me?I remember the last thing that happened earlier. Anger welled up in me when I remembered Sydney covering my mouth with a handkerchief causing me to lose consciousness. I meant what she did to stop me from knowing what Cyfer wanted to say earlier. And what happened next? They brought me here to this place? It’s not familiar to me so there’s probably a chance they hid me here.I was about to get up to leave this place when I was
Ellie’s POV"What are you doing here?" There was a tremor in his voice.Sydney's reaction was startled when she turned to see me. Her eyes widened in shock so she stood up at the same time. She was holding the back of the chair while looking at me.Even its companion could not believe that they were facing me now. They never thought I would catch them here. That in the crowd, they will still see me in this restaurant. Well, I was also surprised. We were both just surprised. After all, I should have been the most surprised of them.I mean, they really have a connection. The reaction of the two of them was not normal. If they have nothing to hide, this is not how they will act. They shouldn't be surprised or even apprehensive even though I've learned from them. Why are they nervous if they have nothing to hide, right? No matter who catches them they know, that’s just nothing. They just prove that my guess is true.“I should be asking you that, Sydney. What are you doing here?” My gaze f
Ellie’s POVEven before they came out, I could see Sydney. It was really the courage of her to kiss Keeion right in front of me. Because she has something in her hand that is important. Without that, Keeion probably wouldn’t have let her do that. I know Keeion how much he respects me. He can’t afford to hurt me, especially right in front of me. But that earlier, I understand because he had to act in front of Sydney as he wished.I didn't follow what Sydney wanted to happen. Yeah, that sounds pretty crap to me. Looks like Keeion ain't for me either. We will not separate so easily. We will not part just for Sydney.Sydney is just having fun now. She was so excited because as far as she knew, she had already gotten Keeion from me. Doesn’t she wonder that it’s just that easy? The day Keeion finds out who the person behind the destruction of his name is, he won’t even hesitate to stay away from Sydney. Keeion didn't say a word about the agreement he had with Sydney. After all, Keeion wants
Keeion’s POVI didn’t even wait for Sydney to speak on the other line. I dropped this call after I said my decision. Maybe she's smiling now because she's got the answer she wants from me. This is exactly what she has always wanted. Now that she has figured out a way to make what she wants easier, this is what she does to me. I’m aware that she’s manipulating me. She uses what she knows to get me. She knows as much as this is my weakness at these times and there is a good chance I will give in to her. What she was planning has already happened.I sighed and put the cellphone down on the bed. I went to the glass window of the bedroom to view the quiet night city where we were. Massive buildings can be seen from below and bright shops that are open 24/7. I stayed there for a few minutes to calm down and be able to think clearly.I don’t like what Sydney is doing to me. I don’t want to do the things she makes me do. But for the sake of clearing my name and saving the credibility of the c
Sydney’s POVAfter I said what I wanted to say to Keeion, I left first. I went out to the coffee shop and left him there. I no longer waited for his answer because I wanted to give him time to think.There's a high chance that he will reject me right away. So I'd better leave him as soon as he thinks carefully about what I'm offering. I knew how much he wanted to get what I told him so I still didn’t lose hope of using that weakness of his.Well, I just told him I knew who the person behind it all was. I know the person who is ruining his name in the company. I know the person who made that transaction in his personal account.His reaction before is still fresh in my mind. He was eager to know who that person was. Perhaps until now, it still doesn’t catch on who it is. Most likely, that transaction was done well and cleanly. They have no trace available there to trace who made it. So he was just so excited when I announced that I already knew this person. But the joy on his face also
