Elysia's Pov

I was angry at Damon for his silly joke, but I tried to brush it off and focus on the trip ahead. After the plane took off, I excused myself and went to the restroom to compose myself.

As I looked at myself in the mirror, I wiped the tears from my eyes and tried to take a deep breath. I thought about what my mother had told me before we left – that this trip was supposed to be about finding myself and getting closer to my husband. I shouldn't try to regain my lost memories, I should focus on restoring my relationship with Damon.

But as I stepped out of the bathroom, feeling motivated and ready to move forward, I was confronted by the stranger – Hector – smiling at me. His presence made me even more uneasy, and I asked him point blank, "What do you want?"

Hector just smiled and touched my shoulder. The touch felt familiar, like we had been intimate before. It sent shivers down my spine and made me even more confused about my past.

"I'm here to help you," Hector said, h

    Elysia's Pov I pulled away from Hector, feeling confused and overwhelmed. "I can't do this," I said, my voice shaking. "I don't know who you are or what you want from me, but I can't just throw everything away without knowing the truth." Hector looked at me, his eyes full of sadness. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice low. "I didn't mean to push you. I just want to help you remember who you were before the accident. I want to help you understand your past and your present, so you can move forward with your future." I looked at him, unsure of what to do. Part of me wanted to believe him, but another part of me was afraid of what I might find out. I knew I had to find a way to get to the truth, no matter how difficult it might be. "How long will it take for you to be done?" Damon asked, his voice cold and distant. "Oh, I guess I took long," I said, forcing a smile. "I heard you scream, what happened?" I was shocked by his question. I hadn't realized that he had heard me. "Oh, that,"

    Damon's Pov I couldn't believe that I was on this plane, flying to Tokyo with Elysia. Just being near her made my skin crawl. I hated her, I hated everything about her. And yet, here I was, pretending like everything was okay. It was all for the sake of our son, Ian. I couldn't bear the thought of him growing up in a broken home, and I knew that if I left Elysia, it would be just that. But it was hard, being around her. Every time I looked at her, all I could see was the pain and suffering she had caused me and our family. I couldn't understand how she could have done the things she had done, and I couldn't forgive her. As the hours ticked by, I found myself getting more and more agitated. I knew I needed to try and get some sleep, but every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Elysia's face, taunting me with her lies and deceit. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I turned to her and asked the question that had been weighing on my mind. "Why did you agree to come on this t

    Elysia's Pov As we approached the entrance to the wedding reception, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. I had forgotten my invitation at home, and I knew that this would cause problems. Sure enough, when it was my turn to present my invitation to the security guard, he stopped me. I looked at Damon, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. I saw the anger and disappointment in his eyes, and I couldn't help but feel guilty. How could I have been so careless? I couldn't believe that I had forgotten something so important. But as I looked at Damon, I saw the hurt in his eyes, and I knew that I had to do something to make things right. Damon took my hand and led me out of the reception, and I knew that we had a lot of work to do to repair our relationship. But I was determined to make things right, no matter what it took. ....

    Damon's Pov As I stood at the bar, feeling angry and hurt, I noticed a woman walking towards me. She introduced herself as Purity, and asked me if I wanted to dance. I couldn't believe that she was hitting on me, especially at a time like this. But I was feeling vulnerable and angry, so I accepted her offer. We started dancing, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to her. She was sexy and confident, and she seemed to know exactly what I needed in that moment. As we danced, Purity leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "I've always had a thing for you, Damon. I know that you're going through a tough time right now, but I want you to know that I'm here for you. I want to be the one to make you feel better." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Purity was telling me that she wanted me, and it was exactly what I needed to hear in that moment. So, I pulled her in closer and we started dancing sexily together, lost in the music and the heat of the moment. As we moved together on the d

    Elysia's Pov As I watched Damon dance on the floor with the woman, I couldn't help but feel angry. I had noticed the way he had glared at me when I was dancing with the party guest earlier, and I couldn't help but sense the jealousy emanating from him. It was as if he wanted to claim me as his own, even though he had made it clear that he no longer cared for me. But despite my anger, I couldn't bring myself to confront him. I knew that any confrontation would only lead to more pain and heartache, and I was already struggling to keep my emotions in check. So instead, I watched from a distance, trying to ignore the way my heart ached as I watched Damon and the woman dance closer and closer. ... I watched in shock as Damon left the party with Purity. I couldn't believe that he would do this to me. As I stood alone, feeling lost and confused, I began to feel the weight the absence of my memories bearing down on me. I couldn't shake the feeling that I might be one who had caused a

    Elysia's Pov I woke up early in the morning, still feeling groggy from the previous night's events. As I got out of bed, I heard Ian's voice coming from downstairs. I quickly got dressed and rushed down to see what was going on. When I arrived at the bottom of the stairs, I saw Ian sitting at the dining table with a young woman. She was wearing revealing clothes and I could see that she was quite young. I walked over to them, confused and asked Ian, "Who is this?" Ian looked up at me with a big smile on his face and said, "Mommy, this is my new nanny! Her name is Rachel." I looked at the woman and asked her, "Who are you?" "I'm Rachel, your son's new nanny," she replied with a sweet smile. I was taken aback, I didn't know that Damon had hired a new nanny for Ian. I turned to Damon who was standing behind me, looking at me with a blank expression. "What is going on?" I asked him. "We talked about it, Ian is still five and needs a nanny till we travel back home. He needs someone t

    Damon's Pov As Elysia's lips touched mine, I couldn't help but feel disgust. I remembered all the times she had cheated on me, and I couldn't bring myself to reciprocate her affections. I pushed her away, and she stumbled to the ground. "Why are you doing this?" she asked, tears streaming down her face. "Why? Because you cheated on me, and now you have the audacity to try and kiss me like nothing ever happened?" I spat out, my anger and hurt consuming me. "I-I don't remember," Elysia stammered, looking lost and confused. "You don't remember? That's even worse! You cheated on me, and you don't even have the decency to remember the pain you caused me?" I couldn't believe she had the nerve to play the victim. "Damon, please, I don't know what you're talking about." Elysia pleaded, her voice shaking. But I didn't care. I couldn't let her play innocent, not after everything she had done. "I can't do this, Elysia. I can't pretend like everything's okay when it's not. You cheated on

I dialed Elysia's number instantly, placing the phone on my ears but it went straight voicemail. I tried again and again, but there was no answer. "I hope she isn't doing this on purpose..." I muttered angrily as I kept spacing around. I could feel my anxiety rising. If there was one thing I'd hate to happen, is for Elysia crossing part with Hector. The thought of it made my insides turned and I got even more anxious and dialed her number again but to no avail. I paced back and forth in the hotel room, beating muse up about who Elysia might have gone to see... That's right, no other than the reason we are here in the first place! Danica! Quickly, I typed Danica's number into my keypads, she is the only one that can convince Elysia to go out. Since she lost her memories, she've become an introvert- "Danica, it's Damon.

    Elysia's pov Damon turned towards me, his expression still unreadable. "If you want to be the CEO, Elysia, you're going to have to work for it. You'll start as my assistant, and we'll see how you handle the job. If you prove yourself, then maybe we can talk about making you the CEO." I gritted my teeth, my fists still clenched. I couldn't believe that he was making me jump through all these hoops just to prove myself. "I don't need your help, Damon," I spat out, my anger boiling over. "I can do this on my own. I don't need you to hold my hand and guide me through everything." Damon's lips quirked up in a small smile. "Is that so? Well, then. I guess we'll see how well you do on your own." He walked towards the door, turning back for a moment to add one final remark. "But just remember, Elysia. This is my company as much as it is yours. And I won't let you ruin it." I watched him leave, feeling a mixture of anger and frustration. I couldn't believe that Damon was making things so

"You know how hard I've worked to build up that company, and now you're telling me that I'm not fit to take over? That's complete bullshit!" Damon's expression remained calm, but I could see the hint of irritation in his eyes. "Watch your language, Elysia," he said firmly. "You're not doing yourself any favors by acting like this." I didn't care. I was too angry to care. "You know what, Damon? Screw you!" I spat, my voice rising with each word. "Screw you and your stupid mother! She've been trying to steal my company for months, and now you're using my memory loss as an excuse to take it away from me. You've taken over my family's company, and now you are doing this to me as well. Well, I'm not going to let that happen." Helen, who had been standing beside Kylian, stepped forward, her face twisted in anger. "You're lying, Elysia," she said, her voice

    Elysia's pov "Take the money and move," he said, his voice shaking. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I took the bag and slowly backed away. The man followed me, his gun still trained on me. As I spun to my right, and I saw his car parked just a few yards away. He motioned for me to follow him, and I complied. We walked in silence, the only sound being our footsteps and the occasional sound of a car passing by. When we got to his car, he opened the trunk and told me to put the bag inside. My hands were shaking as I tried to lift the heavy bag. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I looked down and saw a gunshot wound. I stumbled, trying to stay upright, and the bag fell to the ground. "Come on, hurry up!" he shouted. I struggled to pick up the bag, feeling the blood soaking through my pants. Eventually, I managed to place the bag inside the trunk. I turned to face him, my eyes blurry with tears of pain and fear. But then, something strange happened. The man was lying

    Damon's pov My heart skipped a beat as my father rushed into the room with a gun in his hand. I had never seen him so unhinged before, and it scared me. "Father, put the gun down," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "This isn't the way to handle things." But my father was beyond reason. He pointed the gun at Quincy, his eyes blazing with anger. "You'll pay for what your father did to me!" he shouted. I could see the fear in Quincy's eyes as my father took aim, and I knew I had to act fast. I lunged forward, grabbing my father's arm and trying to wrestle the gun away from him. "Stop it, Father!" I yelled. "This isn't the answer!" But my father was too strong for me, and he pushed me away with a fierce shove. I stumbled backwards, watching in horror as he pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed through the room, and for a moment, everything was still, as my father shot at the roof. I felt sick to my stomach as I realized what had just happened.

    Damon's pov It was morning, and Elysia looked radiant as she sat at the breakfast table, sipping her coffee and nibbling on a croissant. But even as I watched her, something nagged at me, deep in my heart. Had she remembered? Had she figured out what I had done? As she rose from the table and headed upstairs to change, I took a deep breath and tried to shake off my anxiety. But when she reappeared, dressed and ready to go, my nerves were still on edge. I tried to put on a brave face as we headed to the living room, where our son Ian was playing with his toys. But I could feel the tension between us, and I knew that something was off. As I settled onto the couch, my phone beeped with a new message. I glanced over the screen, and my heart skipped a beat. It was from Julius, "Quincy Randolph, is at the transportation company, he held an open meeting. Where are you?" My eyes turned red with anger. How dare he? How dare he try to steal my company out from under me? I stood up, my

    Elysia's pov As I drove down the road towards the beach Helen had picked, I encountered heavy traffic. The cars moved sluggishly, causing me to feel restless and anxious. I kept checking the time on my dashboard, hoping I wouldn't be too late. Finally, I reached the beach, and as expected, Helen was already there. She had parked her car and was waiting with a big bag by her side. As I parked my car beside hers, I noticed that the beach was empty, with no one around except for us. It was just afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow on everything around us. I got out of my car and went over to Helen, feeling curious and a little apprehensive. "Hey Helen," I said, "where are the company documents?" Helen looked at me with a strange expression on her face, and then suddenly went down on her knees. "Elysia," she said, "I can never hand over those documents to you." "What?" I said, feeling stunned. "What are you talking about?" Helen opened her bag, and my eyes

    Elysia's pov We were so excited but then, we excitement quickly fades as I realizes that they will need to open the safe. I takes a deep breath and looks at Macy with a worried expression. "I don't know how to open it. Maybe my fingerprint will work?" I suggests, beginning to stamp my fingers all over the safe. Macy shakes her head, "I don't think so, it's probably not set up to recognize anyone's fingerprints but the owner's." My heart sinks as I realizes Macy's words are true. I give up, tears forming in my eyes as I contemplates the idea of forcing a memory I might not even remember. Macy notices my distress and quickly thinks of a solution. "Instead of that, let's try all birthdays. We'll start with your parents and sister, then move on to Kate's brother, Adam, Damon, and Ian." I nods and they begin trying all possible dates, but the safe remains locked. Frustration builds up as they try over and over again. My anxiety worsens with each unsuccessful attempt.

Damon looks intrigued by my denial, and for a moment, I think he might let me go. But then he shakes his head and releases his grip on my arm. "Fine," he says, his voice cold and distant. "Go." I rub my wrist slightly, trying to ease the pain where his fingers had dug in, before turning and walking slowly out of the room. Once I'm outside, I break into a run, my heart pounding in my chest as I race towards my car. I can feel the fear gripping me as I drive out of the villa and onto the street.

I asked hesitantly. Macy then said, "Actually, Elysia, you secured pictures of Helen with some guys a while ago. Don't you remember?" I shook my head, feeling a wave of confusion wash over me. "I don't remember that, Macy. You know I lost my memories." Macy sighed and said, "That's right, I forgot.
