The girl walked by casually, putting on her headset after asking a question in Spanish that made Grey realize she wasn't Keyara.But a woman resembling Keyara was in this European. How could that be? Her features were strikingly similar to Keyara's. Where did she live? How old was she now? Thoughts like these raced through Grey's mind rapidly and with great intensity. Grey had to contain his adrenaline rush due to the overwhelming excitement.Grey's heart raced, torn between excitement and a strange sense of joy he felt. Could this mean something when he set foot on this land and felt the unusual vibrations earlier?Grey slapped himself on the head, wondering why he was momentarily frozen, and didn't quickly ask for the girl's name. Not every day he encounters a girl who resembles Keyara so closely.As the girl walked away, Grey finally shouted to call her. However, she was already gone, leaving him behind.Grey suddenly realized that some pedestrians were observing him. They looked
Keyara Says :"Your temperature is high, 38.4°C. You need to be taken to the hospital immediately!" I exclaimed with a panicked tone. Just this morning, Catalina seemed fine; she even cooked breakfast for me. But as noon approached, Catalina started feeling unwell, making me anxious. Catalina said her condition would improve with rest, but the opposite happened. Catalina was attacked by a high fever and kept restlessly moving on the bed. Her body trembled, and she complained of feeling cold, despite me giving her two thick blankets. I even resorted to using cold water to cool her forehead and reduce the fever. "At this rate, you won't be able to go to work tomorrow, Cat," I said while applying the compress to Catalina. She was worried about her condition, which didn't seem to improve even as the evening approached. Suddenly, Catalina grabbed my hand, and as I looked at her, she stared back at me with a pleading gaze, leaving me confused. Her eyes were teary due to the heat. "You ca
Oh my God!Grey couldn't control himself. His eyes shimmered with enthusiasm and disbelief. A girl on a bicycle! Yes, she was a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Keyara and stood before him with astonishment. It was truly extraordinary. Imagine how many people would have the opportunity to meet when it seemed impossible.Grey couldn't even stop his jaw from gaping momentarily as he gazed at the woman who would work with him as an interpreter. He observed every inch of her body. His eyes scanned her like a laser scanner, detecting every inch of Keyara's body.Indeed an incredible coincidence.Grey didn't know how he could regain control. He had just suppressed his desire to search for that girl, and now it seemed like a miracle had returned. The girl stood before him, looking awkward and uneasy.Especially when Grey stared at her intently, she wore a blue blouse made of soft fabric, paired with a scarf tied at the top button. Furthermore, her black denim pants made her look like
Keyara's mind;Truly unsettling. Why does he keep staring at me with that awkward and uncomfortable gaze? Is he a playboy, womanizer, or... oh God, the worst, a maniac! I can even feel my uneasy heartbeat warning me.He's a businessman named Grey, which I know means "gray" in English. Is he called that because of his grayish behavior? I can't stop thinking negatively about this man because he won't stop staring at me.Please, stop. It's making me awkward.And then something even more unsettling happens. He extends his hand for a handshake.What do I do now?I feel uncomfortable shaking hands while wearing these rubber gloves. He must think I'm being impolite.I don't know what to do for a moment, and then an idea pops into my head. I place both hands in front of my chest, gently clasping them together. I give a slight bow to show respect.At that moment, I see the man's eyes widen in surprise. He didn't expect me to greet him like that. I know it's uncommon for some people, but some c
Ares had never had a nightmare since he found Keyara and brought her to Spain; now, his nightmares had returned. It had been two years since Ares' nightmares ceased, and now it seemed they had returned. Ares never expected to wake up with sweat pouring down his forehead and chest, his heart pumping abnormally. He could even feel intense vibrations lingering in every joint, indicating that the dream had stirred fear deep within Ares' subconscious.In the dream, Ares saw Keyara being coiled by a snake and taken to the depths of the most bottomless abyss, and he failed to reach out or save her.Can you imagine how panicked Ares was, even though it was a dream? Sweat flooded his body. Ares felt fear pulsating through his veins. He didn't want Keyara to be ripped away from his side in the worst possible way. So, covered in sweat, Ares stood up and called home in Valencia, Spain. However, despite several attempts, I still waited for someone to answer.Restless, Ares then called Keyara's cel
Grey gave instructions to Keyara regarding the purpose of their upcoming meeting. As he spoke, Grey tilted his body to face his translator. Occasionally, his eyes swept across the woman's face with a gentle gaze that left Keyara conflicted and mesmerized.Halfway through their journey, they discussed work-related matters while the other half was silent. Now and then, Keyara could sense Grey throwing glances that he swiftly retracted when she turned to look.Keyara felt a mixture of unease, fear, and a strange fluttering in her chest. She had never paid much attention to the intricacies of her emotions when meeting a man, except for worrying about her illness flaring up or accidentally electrocuting someone with her static electricity. She fears that her static electricity might harm the man before her. Keyara felt a tinge of reluctance to end her time with a man who created warm excitement in her heart and a creeping sense of pain. It was odd.Why should Keyara feel both sad and happy
"Miss Catalina, could you adjust your work schedule?" he asked, causing me to tilt my head in confusion. I didn't have to wait long because Mr. Grey completed his sentence, "I intend to take a trip to Spain. Today, my schedule is only for meeting Mr. Andreas. I've been considering visiting the beautiful places in Spain that Mr. Andreas mentioned earlier. So, would you like to be my guide? Don't worry, I will personally pay you, not through your company," Mr. Grey explained.Guide? What did he say? He asked me to be his tour guide. Oh no, what am I going to do? I want to leave and return home, especially since Ares called earlier. He'll call the house later, and if he doesn't find me at home, he'll be furious and unleash his anger on Catalina. Last time he got angry, the whole house was a mess, and now I'm afraid Ares will book the first flight and cross oceans to make sure I'm safe at home.Ares is so protective of me, and sometimes it's scary.But I can't simply refuse the request
Keyara's Say :Once again, Mr. Grey touched his hand against my skin. Once again, I didn't feel the powerful jolt of electricity that usually surges through my skin, capable of shocking anyone, as long as they are adult males. Without fail, the electric current would flow through my body, delivering an appalling sensation to anyone who touched my skin.But this didn't apply to the man standing before me. He effortlessly showed no signs of surprise, unlike most people.He was the only man I had known for the past two years who didn't evoke the static electricity effect. It was as if my body had been waiting for his touch for a long time. It was as if my defenses fell asleep when faced with this man.Why?Unconsciously, I couldn't stop uttering the question, which escaped my lips in a mumble directed at the man before me."Why are you unaffected?" I asked, causing Grey to raise an eyebrow before furrowing his brow and narrowing his eyes."What?" Mr. Grey asked, looking at me with confus
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
