Did I scare you?

"What does he mean by that?" Gideon asked me the moment we left the store.

I bit my lower lip. I didn't expect that Martin would say that to Gideon.

"Uh… he accidentally found out that we're going to divorce."

Gideon's expression had been grim since he saw Martin a while ago. His face... reminded me of him before he lost his amnesia. But still, a subtler version.

"Accidentally?"

I cleared my throat. "Kelly blurted it out to Martin the other night. She was drunk so..."

"You told your coworkers that you're going to divorce me?"

I frowned and decided to meet his stares. "Well, it's true, anyway. We're going to divorce soon."

His face remained grim. "That won't happen, Bianca."

I cocked my brow. "Well, I'm confident when I say that I won't fall in love with you. And you only have one month left, Gideon. I'm sure as hell won't fall in love with you by the end of our agreement."

He sighed, his thick brows still in a deep furrow. It looked like he was about to say something, b

    "ARE you free on the twenty-four, Bianca?" Kelly asked me that morning. "That's already next Saturday." "Uh, what's with it?" Kelly put back a book on the shelf and turned to me. "Well, it's Rory's birthday and we wanted to surprise her for dinner. Martin asked for our help." "Oh…" I whispered when I realized what date Rory's birthday was. It was the same date as the anniversary party of the Henry Corporation. "I'm sorry, Kelly. I don't think I could go that day…" I bit my lower lip. "I'd be attending a party with Gideon that day." "It's okay, Bianca." Kelly smiled at me. "We understand. Of course, Rory, too. Don't worry about it." "I'll just hand you my gift to her." "Sure. She likes anything vintage, for your reference." She pursed her lips. "By the way, Martin asked me for your number the other day." "Oh." I blinked. "Yup. He said he's going to text you about Rory's birthday." She smirked at me. "But I didn't give him. I said he should ask you himself." "There's no prob

    "BIANCA…" I heard Gideon say followed by a knock on the door. "Denver was already here. But, take your time, okay?" "Alright," I shouted back. "I'll be out in a moment." I took another scan of my reflection in the mirror before leaving the walk-in closet. I was wearing a long black dress with a sweetheart neckline. I paired it with silver stilettos. I only applied light make-up on my face before leaving the room. I found Gideon on the couch. He stood up when he saw me. I noticed how his blue eyes glinted in admiration as he scanned my look. "You looked extra beautiful tonight, wife," he said, licking his lips. This was the first time Gideon complimented me like this. I knew he wasn't faking it. Those eyes were looking at me as if sucking me in. He had never once looked at me that way before. I felt my cheeks heat up. I cleared my throat. "T-thanks, Gideon. You also clean up nicely tonight." I looked at Gideon. He was wearing a black suit and bowtie. His hair was perfectl

    "Well, you couldn't blame me. My wife's a stunner. I'm a lucky bastard to have her." I felt my face heated with the way Gideon complimented me in front of these people. I was sure as hell that my neck was red as tomatoes. I hope Gideon won't look at me. But he did. He smiled at me before excusing us from Mr. Golding. "Are you blushing earlier?" Gideon asked while we were in front of the food. Gideon asked for truffle pasta. "What? I'm not, Gideon!" I denied. The hell would I admit it to him! "Really?" The corner of his lips curled in a playful smile. "Shut up, Gideon." I rolled my eyes at him as I reached for my glass of champagne. "Hmm…" From the corner of my eyes, I saw him staring at me. "Quit looking at me," I said, my eyes turning into slits. He played with the glass of champagne in his hand. "Why? Am I making you blush?" I could feel my blood going up to my cheeks. "I told you I'm not blushing. Stop insinuating things!" He pursed his lips. "Alright. But don

    "GOOD morning!" I greeted Kelly and Jeff when I got to work that morning. "Morning, Bianca!" Jeff greeted me back. I smiled. "How was Rory's birthday?" "It was fun," Jeff smiled at me. "But it would have been more fun if you were there." I pursed my lips. "I'm sorry again, guys." "Rory liked your gift, Bianca. She said she'd visit here to personally thank you." I smiled. "I'm glad she liked it." I gifted Rory a vintage vinyl player. Kelly went to me. "You're gorgeous last night, Bianca! You looked so elegant in that black dress." My lips parted. "H-how did you know–" "I saw you and Gideon in a business tabloid. Here." I didn't notice the newspaper in her hand. Kelly showed it to me. My lips parted when I saw Gideon and I's faces on the paper. "Henry Corporation celebrates its 30th year in the industry; CEO professed his love to his wife," the caption read. "So, what does it feel like to have a husband like Gideon?" Kelly asked me, her face in a giddy smile. "Gosh, he'

    "DOES he always go here?" Gideon asked the moment we got into the car. "Martin?" "Who else, Bianca?" "No." "Did that man already tell you that he likes you?" He scoffed. "It's obvious, Bianca. He likes you. The moment I first you him that night, I already knew that he likes you." I frowned. "He's just being friendly, Gideon. That's all." I glanced at Denver in front of us. I swallowed before my eyes moved back to Gideon. "Besides, he knows that I'm already married." "Yeah. But that doesn't stop anyone from liking you." He smirked. "And I bet he also knew that you're planning to divorce me, right?" I couldn't answer… because at that moment, I knew Gideon was right. "He's obviously making a move on you, Bianca. And you're letting him." My lips parted. "N-no. I was just being friendly to him. What you saw earlier… he was just helping me remove something on my face." "But do you like him?" My brows furrowed.

    "NO." I shook my head. "That couldn't happen, Helen. I couldn't… I couldn't be in love with Gideon." My lips parted. "I hated him… He's the one person in this world that I hated the most. He… he ruined my happiness. I couldn't be in love with him." "Then why did you kiss him, Bianca? And most importantly, why did you enjoy that kiss?" "I… don't know, Helen." I stood up from the bed and panickedly circled around the room. "But I couldn't be in love with him. I'm in love with Charlie!" "And how are you sure you're still in love with Charlie?" Helen probed. "When was the last time you've thought of Charlie?" I stilled. I realized that I hadn't been thinking of Charlie for the past weeks. He didn't even cross my mind except when Gideon and I attended the company's anniversary party. "I may not have been thinking of Charlie these past weeks, but that doesn't mean I'm no longer in love with him… and that I'm already in love with Gideon." "Really?

    IT was before lunchtime when Penny arrived. I was in the mini library of the house when Gideon informed me of the woman's arrival. "Mrs. Henry," Penny greeted me. The woman was wearing a black and white pinstriped suit. Her hair was in a French bun, and her face was in perfect make up. Like I said when I first saw her, she looked more like a model than an interior designer. I couldn't help but look down on myself. I was only wearing a white dress shirt and cotton shorts. Even my face was bare and pale. Damn. I should have changed before I left the room. But it was too late for that now. I glanced at Gideon who was wearing a polo shirt paired with khaki shorts. I was the only one who looked out of place. "I'm sorry I arrived a little bit earlier," the woman said to Gideon, glancing at her wristwatch. "It's fine, Penny," Gideon said to the woman. "We've been expecting you, anyway." "Do you want to see first the designs I made for this house?" Penny asked. Gideon turned

    "YOU'RE so obvious earlier, Bianca," Hanna said beside me. She volunteered to wash the dishes and stayed here with me in the kitchen while Gideon walked Penny out. The woman said she had another appointment this afternoon. "What are you talking about?" I asked, not looking at her. "You're obviously jealous, Bianca." "Me? Jealous?" I dried up my hands and cocked my head to her side. Hanna raised her brows at me. "It's written all over your face, Bianca. It wouldn't require a genius person to figure that out." She sighed. "Now, are you going to deny that you're in love with your husband?" "I…" I wanted to deny Hannah's claim but my own mouth was failing me. Was I really jealous of Penny earlier? "See? You can't even deny it anymore…" "But how…" I muttered, my voice almost a whisper. "H-how could I fall in love with someone I hated so much?" If I was indeed in love with him, how did I fall in love with the new Gideon when I hated the old him? Hannah's lips curled up in

    "MOMMY!" Andrea said before she ran towards her mother. Gideon slowly turned his head in my direction. My heart stopped beating when our eyes met. His face was serious… his blue eyes were piercing into my soul. My knees felt weak with the way he looked at me. "We'll leave you two here…" Helen said. She went to me and took the grocery bag in my hand. "Talk to him, Bianca," Helen whispered before she turned her back on us and pulled Andrea inside the house. I was left there with Gideon. I looked at him. He looked fine. Except for the small scratches on his arms, he looked fully recovered. His white dress shirt was folded up to his elbows. His hair was already clean-cut. I swallowed hard and faced him."What are you doing here?" He raised his thick eyebrows. "Claiming back my wife. How about you, why did you run away, Bianca?" I looked away. "I already know that you've finally recovered your memories, Gideon. If you're here to talk about divorce—" "What are you saying

    "ARE you sure about this, Bianca?" Helen asked me from the other line. I took a deep breath as I glanced at the plane ticket on the nightstand. "Yeah… I'm leaving, Helen." I heard her sigh on the phone. "Don't you think it's wise if you talked to Gideon first, Bianca? Maybe this is just a misunderstanding." I bit my lower to stop my tears from falling. "How would I talk to him when he clearly doesn't want to talk to me?" It's been two days since Gideon woke up from the accident, and since then, he never looked for me. I remembered how he immediately looked for Diana when he woke up. "Can we go inside and talk to him now, Doc?" I asked the doctor. It was hours after the doctor announced Gideon was already awake. "Are you Diana?" the doctor asked me. I stilled. Diana? "I'm not, D-doc." "I'm Diana, Doc." I heard the woman's voice behind me. Diana stood up and went beside me. "Why are you calling for me?" The doctor turned to Diana. "The patient was looking for you, Miss

    Bianca's POV "BIANCA!" I stood up from the bench when I saw Amelia in front of me. I wiped away the tears on my face and looked at her. "H-he's still in the emergency room." "Oh… my son." Amelia's tears fell when her eyes turned to the door of the emergency room. "What happened?" I was in the house when the hospital called me to inform me that Gideon had been in an accident. The authorities told me that Gideon avoided a dog who was in the middle of the road, and that's why his car crashed into another car. The owner of the other car only suffered from a minor injury… while Gideon was unconscious when he was brought to the hospital. Amelia pulled me into her and enveloped me in her arms. "Hush, dear. It wasn't as fatal as what happened to him before." Amelia tried to calm me down. "I'm sure he'd survive this. I'm sure he'll be safe." I remembered what happened to him before. He was in the ICU for three months. He barely survived his accident. "I can't lose him, Amel

    "I HEARD you're dating a supermodel, Gideon. Is that true?" Mom asked me on the phone. My brows furrowed. "No. I'm not dating anyone, Mom. I'm busy here in the New York branch." I didn't know where my mother got that news, but it's not true. I'm not dating anyone. I only fuck around to satisfy my needs, but I don't date. I never entered a relationship after what happened to Diana. "I hope you stop playing around, Gideon. You're not getting any younger. Just look at Charlie…" I stiffened when I heard that name. We've seen each other a couple of times in the past years. I was civil with him in front of my parents. Well, my parents didn't know that I was the reason he left the house twelve years ago. Charlie didn't tell them. But I didn't care and it wouldn't matter to me if he did. "What's with that brother of mine, Mom?" "Oh, Charlie's already engaged. He said he'll bring home his fiancée after his work trip in India." Engaged? I gritted my teeth as I opened the envelope

    Gideon's POV I glanced at my watch as I waited for the traffic lights to light up. It was two in the afternoon. I canceled my remaining meetings for today and decided to go home early. She was supposed to have had a meeting today with the wedding organizers but she called in sick. When I called her earlier, she told me she wasn't feeling well. Ever since Diana came back, I could feel her worry. I didn't know if she was just stressed with the wedding or if she was really bothered by Diana's presence. She had nothing to be scared about. They might be all telling me that Diana might be my first love, but she was already part of my past. Even if she came back from the dead, my heart already belonged to Bianca. Even if my memory came back in the future, I knew that nothing would change. I remembered my last conversation with Diana the other day when she went to my office. "You made a promise to be before, Gideon. The last time we saw each other before you left for New York th

    "GOOD morning, Mrs. Henry," the maitre d greeted me when I entered Il Fornaio. I was meeting Amelia at the Italian restaurant for lunch today. She would hand me the proposal that Tyra submitted to her. My brows furrowed when instead of Amelia, it was Diana who was waiting for me at the table. "Where's Amelia?" I asked her as soon as I occupied the seat across from her. She smiled and handed me a folder. "I was with her earlier. But she had an emergency so she asked me to meet you and give you this." I cleared my throat. "Thank you." I looked at her. She was wearing a peach halter dress. She had makeup on her face. Her nails were nicely done. "Are you going somewhere?" I asked. I knew the woman didn't like me. I feel the same way toward her. She was just being nice because of Amelia… and Gideon. "It's okay if you don't join me for dinner." "No, Bianca. I really want to talk to you." My eyebrows moved a bit. "What do you want to talk about?" She looked at me. "I was wi

    "OH, you brought Pluto with you," Amelia exclaimed when she saw Pluto with me when she welcomed me in their mansion. She invited me that afternoon because she wanted to talk about the wedding. "I already invited Tyra Hopper's team, Bianca," Amelia said as we walked inside the house. Tyra Hopper is the wedding organizer that she hired for the wedding. "Hi, Bianca." I stilled when I saw a woman on the couch. Diana. She's here. She was wearing a white simple dress and fluffy slippers. Her long curly hair fell on her shoulders. "Diana, you're here…" I managed to smile at her and tried to hide my surprise. "She's staying here, Bianca," Amelia said. "She said she was staying here in LA for a month so I offered one of my guestrooms. Diana's a dear friend to us, after all." "I heard you're planning for a second wedding?" Diana asked when I settled on the seat next to her. Amelia left us and went upstairs. "Yeah." I tried to smile at her. I didn't know why I felt uncomfortable w

    "DON'T you find it weird?" I asked Gideon that night. We were already home from Gideon's surprise dinner celebration. "What's weird, sweetheart?" "Diana…" I muttered in a small voice. "Diana?" "How she suddenly appeared… just in time for your birthday?" I remembered what happened earlier. "What happened to you, Diana?" Amelia asked the woman we all recovered from the shock. "How are you alive? Everyone thought you were dead. You were declared dead." "It was a long story, Amelia," Diana started. "You all know now that I really didn't die. I was saved by an old couple in a small town. They said they saw me on the shore. They brought me to the small hospital. But when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything. I didn't know anything about myself… The old couple decided to keep me with them. For seven years, I lived with them, until finally, my memory came back… The first thing I did was go back here to LA. But I found out that my family wasn't here anymore." "Well, one year

    "GOOD afternoon, Mrs. Henry," Thalia greeted me when I went to Gideon's office that afternoon. Gideon and I had been back in LA for three months now. Darwin was in Russia to supervise their new business there so Gideon was forced to go back to LA. It was fine with me. Way back in New York, I was already thinking of taking a break from work to focus on the wedding preparations. The other day, Amelia talked to me. She planned a birthday surprise for Gideon. Today is Gideon's birthday! Gideon didn't know about it because of his amnesia. I've already informed everyone in the office not to greet their boss. We wanted to surprise him later. "Don't forget later, Thalia," I told her before I walked past her table. She smiled and gave me a thumbs-up. "Bianca?" Gideon's eyes widened when he saw me. I smiled as I walked to his table. "Hi, are you done with your work?" I asked, glancing at the laptop on his table. "Yeah. I'm just reviewing these reports for tomorrow." He pla
