Chapter Four

"Thank you for joining me and my husband for breakfast dear sister.." Delilah flashes a smile at her sister. Fiona snarled quietly but then composes herself. "How could I object, food was involved.." Fiona shoves a piece of pancake in her mouth. "I'm surprised you booked a simple diner serving pancakes and call this breakfast." Fiona hissed.

Delilah shrugged and leaned to give Dimitri a quick peck.

"Dimitri told me this was where we had our first date." Fiona rolled her eyes and puts on a pretense of vomiting because of the PDA Delilah and Dimitri were initiating.

"So basically this is my punishment then ? Couldn't you just frame me for murder and have me killed instead.." Fiona rolled her eyes, Delilah chuckled.

"If that's what you want ?" Delilah snickered. The atmosphere was filled with tense silence, Delilah and Dimitri chatted quietly while Fiona got lost in her thoughts while eating.

"Fiona??" Fiona jerked almost immediately. "Are you deaf ? " Delilah hissed furiously. "Sorry I decided to get lost in my thoughts than look at the both of you." Fiona says, Delilah smirked and pecked Dimitri.

"I have to get to work, Dimitri offered to take you home after he's done with his pancakes, be a good girl okay." Delilah picks her purse and exits the diner in disguise.

"Look at you, thinking you've made it, I got to hand it to you Dimitri you and Delilah are made for each other.." Dimitri chuckles at Fiona's compliment, he places his palm under his chin flashing his delinquent smile. "Really ? What sparks that belief."

"Both of you are tactical and cunning, you managed to catch my sister's eye, charm her and prove you're worthy of being her husband." Fiona says, her smug smirk she had disappears, her face turned emotionless and her eyes fixated on him.

"Unfortunately, Delilah is three times of those two I mentioned so no matter how hard you put on that facade, me and you both know what happened that night.." Dimitri glares at her but still slowly chews his pancakes. "Just imagine if Delilah finds out what almost led to her death, she'll never forgive you." Fiona says.

"Same with you.." Dimitri fires back.

"Don't compare our circumstances, who will Delilah have a soft spot for, the twin who is legitimately her blood and  the only family she has ? Or the ungrateful bastard she picked up from the streets ? It's clear who she would pick.." Fiona simpered.

Dimitri grins conceitedly. "Of course, it would be none of us, so I'd worry about spilling information about what happened that night.."

"Are you threatening me ?" Fiona investigates putting on a disgusted look.

"If you want to put it that way go ahead, I'm just making sure you rethink before you make a big mistake.." Dimitri says as a man in black yells Dimitri's name but he ignores, he notices a tear escapes Fiona's eye, he smiles realizing he was getting through her.

"What do I have to loose, you're not the one on probation." Fiona hissed trying to hold back her tears. "You said she lost her memories, this is all your fault..." Fiona yells jerking up from her seat.

"Fiona Ekalot.." the same man called our Fiona's name but she was too upset to realize he was walking in with his phone, the manager of the diner quickly chases him out, locks the diner's  door and apologies to both Fiona and Dimitri.

"I told you she lost her memories of me, your parents and Vlad, there were others too but I didn't pay attention to a word the maid said after Vlad was mentioned." Dimitri said. "Then why are you still with my sister if she doesn't even remember you ?" Fiona yells at the top of her voice getting attention from the staffs of the diner.

"She said she wanted to give us another try, I couldn't oblige.." Dimitri whispered with a dull expression mixed with guilt.

"Stop with the bullshit, stop talking like you have a conscience, your words might work on Delilah but I'm not that fucking gullible.." Fiona screams as her face carnates crimson red.

"I guess you can talk now, the last time your face was this red you could barely swallow." Fiona immediately slaps him, picking her purse, Dimitri gets up to follow her but she stops him.

"I need to drop you off at home remember ?" Dimitri says.

"I'll take an Uber." Fiona hissed at him. "What would Delilah say when she finds out you didn't get home on time after refusing my offer." Dimitri cooed at her enough to make her blood boil.

"The same thing she'll say when she finds out we spent a drunk night together." Fiona whispers looking out to seeing a small crowd of people at the door.

"Is there another exit I can take ?" Fiona asks.

"The back but.."

"Take me there, I want to be out of here before I make headlines with this bastard." The staffs nodded quickly directing her to the exit at the back. Dimitri smirked looking as Fiona struts away aggressively.

                     ••••

A day after the breakfast incident, the Ekalot name went viral and was number one on every news station and social media headline.

It was at the tip of everyone's tongue, Delilah Ekalot lost her memories as a result of the coma and Dimitri Adams instigated they stay together to deceive the public.

Dimitri hisses on the sight of the news, it was obvious Fiona leaked the news and the media decided to have fun and exaggerate part of it.

"What are you reading ?" Delilah ask strutting over to Dimitri

"Nothing.." before he could exit his tweeter Delilah quickly snatched his phone away from him, she looks over the phone and then back at him. "Why are you hiding this from me ?" Delilah asked with a frown. "I've seen this already." She tossed his phone back to him and walks out of his sight.

"It's just they're not wrong, you did lose your memories of me." Dimitri said. "I don't even remember my parents, I wake up to find my parents and Vlad my elder brother who I completely forgot are dead." Delilah argued.

"Even if people find out you lost some of your memories, I'm still painted as the one that made you stay despite the rumors.."

"That I cheated ?" Delilah cuts Dimitri off almost immediately, Dimitri looked liked he seen a ghost. "I don't know if the rumors about me cheating are true, but if I did cheat I understand why you took your time to visit you were still healing, I'm sorry for hurting you Dimitri.." Delilah face fell to grave look. "There's nothing to be sorry about." Dimitri says planting a peck on Delilah's lips.

"That coma happened so our love could blossom stronger, the old unfaithful you is gone." Dimitri says.

"But what if one day I get back all my memories of you and start cheating again ? I haven't thought of cheating on you ever since me made our promises on the boat." Delilah pouted gripping tightly on Dimitri's hand. "Doesn't that mean you were the problem ?" Delilah says in the most syrupy voice ever, it didn't sound like a threat.

It couldn't be a threat, Dimitri thought to himself.

"I don't understand.." Dimitri speaks up.

"Make me love you so even if I get my memories I'll have eyes for no man." Delilah says, gently squeezing Dimitri's hand.

"I will my love.." Dimitri says kissing her palm. "Where are you going ?" Dimitri asks paying attention to Delilah's formal wear.

"I'm off to the mansion, I'm still not used to living in this place even though you said I moved out of the family mansion and moved into our very own house. Besides my office is at the mansion and Nathalie spoils me." Delilah explains with a smile on the mention of Nathalie.

"You always talk about Nathalie, I spoil you too." Dimitri tease. "Not as much as Nathalie, she gets me snacks and arranges my office when I sleep off in the middle of work, she acts like my P.A sometimes." Delilah yawns. "Well I'm off to work."

"I'll take you to work, we can go to that weird expensive cafe you always like." Dimitri chafes at Delilah.

"Their ice tea are amazing for your information.." Delilah turns her back, the bells rings. "I'll get the door, you get the keys.." they both parted, Delilah went to get the keys while Dimitri heads to the door, he swings it open to see a familiar face, Dimitri immediately frowns.

"How did you get past security ?" Dimitri asks.

"Nice to see you too Dimitri, looking shiny as ever, Delilah has really been polishing you to perfection, I almost forgot you were the one who married to the rich." The stranger says walking pass Dimitri and into the house.

"Still upset Delilah didn't you Theodore ?" Dimitri cooed expecting a reaction like always but Theodore smirked and turned around.

"Where is your wife anyways ?" Theodore asked.

"I'm here Theodore." Delilah says arranging her purse, she didn't pay attention to the warm expression on Theodore's face, he had the same expression same as when he first met her in college.

"You look beautiful Delilah." Theodore compliments.

"Thank you, what are you doing here, we were going to meet at my office?" Delilah questions.

"I didn't come here for you, I came for Dimitri.." both Delilah and Dimitri share each other confused looks.

"I don't remember us having anything to talk about ? And what were you two going to do at the office ?" Dimitri asks.

"He's the private investigator I hired to investigate Fiona's spending, he's also investigating about the accident before my coma."

"Why are you having him look into that ?" Dimitri asked like he's seen a ghost. "Because I believe someone wanted Delilah dead but didn't succeed, I love a good mystery so I thought it would be fun." Theodore says.

"So you think what Delilah passed through is just a fun game ?" Dimitri hisses. "Don't get mad at Theodore, you know how he treats most of his cases they are all a game to him, though I believe my accident was wasn't a murder scheme, he'll give up eventually." Delilah says walking over to Dimitri and tucking his collar.

"We're actually going out, but we're stopping to get drinks before we finally get to the cafe, if you have something to say to Dimitri you can say it to both of us.." Delilah tells Theodore who nodded bringing out a small box that was wrapped. He hands it over to Dimitri.

"Here's your wedding gift.." Theodore addresses Dimitri who looks stunned. "Theodore our wedding was five years ago." Delilah says.

"It's never too late for a wedding gift, anyways I'll see you at the office.." Theodore says and exits.

"What's in it..." Delilah asks her husband who looks like he's seen a ghost, he opens it to see a watch, Dimitri smirked, "Oh it's that watch you keep talking about, I was going to get you one, how did he know you wanted one ?"

"What did you expect, he's a private investigator, they know everything."
