Stella's POVas soon as he stood up to pick the call, I felt another presence. "who's there?" I asked as I peered through the back which was mostly decorated with balloons and the 'welcome to your lovely evening date' banner. "Is anybody there?" I asked again as I wiped my tears and sniffled. I wondered if it was a worker who fell asleep and was too terrified to ruin the date with their presence, "it's okay, you can leave now," I said and walked towards the banner. I sighed and was ready to walk back after getting no response when I heard a ruffling sound and two balloons bursting simultaneously. it started me for a moment, but also encouraged me to further investigate. Anything was worth distracting me at this point so I wouldn't have a second thought by the time Lawrence came back. I walked to the back of the banner and got distracted with the darkness that blinded me for a second. it was late already and except for the street light down, most of the lights in the office buil
Lawrence's POV"why is she acting so weird? Did she really lose her memory? all or half? when will she recover? I'm willing to do absolutely anything to make sure she gets better," I told the doctor who was sitting across me. "I'm sorry, but I can't say for now we'll have to watch her to be able to determine which type of amnesia she has. But for now, she shouldn't be triggered, at least until we complete the treatment with her spine," he said and I sighed. this was simply disastrous. our date had turned into a death sentence and if not for her land on the trash bags loaded by the side of the building, she would have fallen to her death and there would have been more than just a slight fracture.I closed my eyes and face palmed. "who did this? I'd catch them and kill them with my own hands," I hated that things like this had to happen. "if it's as you suspected, I'm sure the police would find the person behind this mischief and bring justice upon them," the doctor tried to comf
Stella's POVI woke up one white afternoon to a broken spine, a cracked skull and no memories of my life at all. everything just felt so wrong. They said I used to be a models but no matter how many articles or social media posts I went through, I still wasn't able to remember a thing. I forgot everything except my traumatic childhood that no one else seems to be aware of. "What do you say we watch some of your Paris fashion walks. You were really proud of those moments," Kitty said as she wheeled me "It's no use, didn't that handsome guy say I seemed weary and even dropped my resignation letter on that day?" I asked and she nodded. "Plus his name is Lawrence and if anything, your were in love with him, can't you at least address him with his name instead of this lame nickname?" she asked, but I shrugged. "I don't remember, what's the need? Do you know why I wanted to resign though?" I asked, but she paused and shook her head, "it bothers me anytime I think about it." "I had no
Stella's POVThe plain ride back to where they called my home country was smooth and comfortable, considering all the private treatment I was given. However, there was the headache of having to move on a wheelchair and with do much pain in my legs. "I think you should rest some more since we just landed," Lawrence said. "I think so too, but I can't take myself up the stairs," I whined as I watched the spiral staircase go up. "No issues with that, there are three different rooms downstairs and you can use either one of them. my room will be beside yours, so if you need anything," he pushed me towards the so called rooms and opened the door from behind me, causing my breath to seize for a moment before he straightened up. "And if you want, we can discuss sharing the room with you. I honestly won't mind," he said and while I considered it, I had to refuse. "Right, but I'll pass thank you. I just want to sleep away this jetlag for now." "If that's what you want, I'll leave you to r
Stella’s povI hated being wheeled!“Bestie!” Tina ran up to me as Lawrence helped me out of the car and placed me on the damned wheelchair.I looked in her direction. Her eyes were swollen and she had big dark circles underneath them but she still maintained a smile and had her hands spread for a hug before suddenly stopping wide eyed and dropping her hands as Lawrence adjusted my legs on the wheelchair.“What's going on? What prank are you trying to pull? This is not a funny bestie, she said as she had her eyes fixed on my bandaged hand.A dislocation I got after falling off the bed, because I wanted to get off myself. I winced at the thought of it as it was both embarrassing and painful because I was awfully pressed.“I'm sorry for your loss, tina. It's so sad that you're losing your mom so early to such a disaster,"I said and lowered my head to offer my condolences. After All, it was only natural to greet the briefed about their loss.“Thank you?” she cocked her head to the side a
“Im sorry, i haven't introduced myself properly, i'm stella's boyfriend and my name is lawrence. She had an accident recently and hit her head really badly. I really apologize for her actions.” he said."Boyfriend? Is that why you got cocky all if a sudden?" Tina paused."Sweetheart calm down. She looks a little different, maybe we could get some information from this boyfriend guy," Carl held her hand and gave it soft strokes before she sat down. But while doing that, his eyes were glaring daggers at me.I couldn't help the disgusted face I made before mouthing, "you're ugly," at him and he visibly recoiled in shock. "You eventually got yourself a boyfriend uhn? Stella the Virgin?" Her father said as he looked at me and tried to maintaining eyecontact and when he finally did, he smirked. I furrowed my eyebrows. "Is everyone in your family weird bestie?" I blurted out, because it didn't make any moral sense for her father to ask that type of question. "Or was I close to that man? H
"I'll remain with her," Lawrence said in a final tone. "How about pictures?" A lady joined in as she walked down the stairs. "Sarah, you were listening?" Tina's dad asked as he turned to her. Everyone had turned to her as she stepped down the stairs in a white flowy gown. As she neared us, I noticed that it was almost transparent. "Who is she trying to seduce? Cover your eyes Lawrence," I said as I raised my hand to his face. "Yes, I was but I couldn't join in earlier as I was busy arranging the room." She said, but I'd never seen a smile as conquettuish as her. And what was more enraging was how Tina's father was gladly accepting it. His wife hadn't even been dead for two months. "Stella, do you remember her? She's Sarah, dad's secretary. We met her a few times when we called dad," Tina said but I shrugged. "I don't even remember my bestfriend." "Touche," Sarah said as she sat provocatively beside Tina's father. "I don't remember anything and your family is really weird,
Lawrence's POV"Did you really have to go that far just to leave the house?" I asked as we waited in the VIP room of one of the chain restaurants I owned. "Hmm," she scoffed and folded her hands, "I told you but you wouldn't listen in the first place," she said stubbornly as her stomach growled. After her sudden outburst, her best friend had had enough and asked her to leave saying she was welcome anytime. But even a child could feel and hear the sarcasm in her tone. The family was oddly at peace despite their recent loss and they seemed to be recovering too fast which had gotten on Stella's nerves. I glanced at her again as she kept the stubborn look on, but the slight furrow of her eyebrows had me concerned, however, she told me all was well all times I asked her what was wrong or whether she had recovered her memories. It was an hassle I wanted to have dealt with immediately, although her hungry stomach came first. "Here is your food," the waitress entered with the manager of
