I can’t believe I have been living a lie, at this point I really don’t know know who to trust. It completely make sense why Josephine is pressuring me to push the wedding date forward but at the same time, I knew I had to make a decision and try to regain my memory.

I told Amelia and Delle to meet me at one of my personal penthouse, I don’t even know why I bought the house but it seems very special and dear to me which was why I didn’t inform Joe about it.

“Wow, you have this type of house and didn’t inform me” Delle said while admiring the house.

“Can we get to the point?” I asked and she scoff.

“Scott is on his way” Amelia said.

“Am here” Scott said while walking in.

“Why did you invite him?” I asked.

“He is part of the group right?” Delle said.

“I feel offended dude, you were going to cut me off” He said with an annoying look as if he had been betrayed.

“Anyways, we have to get to know if my mom and Joe are working together and why……..”

“Isn’t that obvious? To kick Amy away from the family” Delle said while interrupting me.

“If you didn’t interrupt me, you will know my plan. As I was saying, we have to try and gain some sort of evidence against them and be able to cut off the wedding”

“Right, I thought you loved her but not just ready to get married” Scott mocked and I glared at him.

“As I was saying, after that we need to help me regain my memories” I said.

“How exactly do we plan on doing that”Amelia asked.

“Try and show me and do stuffs we use to do together, one might trigger my memories” I offered.

“And Ladies and Gentlemen, they are about to make us feel single in one million ways again” Delle said.

“Will you stop with the jokes?” I said while glaring at Delle.

“And by the way, Amelia, you have to move in here” I said.

“Say what!!!!!!!” Delle and Scott screamed while Amelia stared at me as if I had grown another brain.

“In case you guys have forgotten, she is supposed to be dead” I replied.

“She can stay at my place” Delle offered.

“No, am only going to be rest assured that she is safe when she is where there is maximum security”I explained.

“Whatever you say” Scott said while moving towards the kitchen probably to ransack the whole place.

“While we are on this matter, I have something to tell you” Amelia said and I gestured for her to continue.

“I have a son” She said.

“This is going to be interesting” Delle said while smirking while Scott starts to whistle while walking into the living room with a bag of chips.

“Am literally confused, you have a son with who?” I asked.

“You” She replied while pointing at me. It is official, I am going crazy.

“So you mean to say we…..I…..ehmm…..sort of have a son and you didn’t think it was okay to inform me that I have a child”I said.

“And would you have believed anything I have said…… think about it…..you would have thought of me as a gold digger or something and let’s not forget the fact that your mom wants me dead. Imagine if she realizes that I have a child for you, I can’t even begin to imagine what she is going to do. So yes, I didn’t tell you because I care a whole lot about my son” She said.

“Sorry” I said.

“Did you just apologize?” Scott asked.

“He is whipped” Delle said and I ignored them. It is better that way.

Amelia and her son are moving in today and am kind of shitting myself because am meeting my son for the first time. How am I suppose to act? What am I suppose to say? What if he doesn’t like me?

Okay………STOP……….It is not a big deal, am just meeting my son for the first time……..it shouldn’t be a big deal……….maybe it is a big deal………And why in heaven’s sake can’t I tie my tie.

I got to the penthouse and realize that Amelia was already outside waiting. I approach her and saw a young boy sticking out his head hiding behind her. Is he scared of me?

“Hi there” I said hoping he will try and talk to me.

“Hi, am Daniel” he said in a cute manner.

“How about we settle in first and then we can do the talking” Amelia offered and I nodded.

We went inside the house and started unpacking, mostly it was just Amelia trying to make everything look perfect.

“Momma likes to make everything be in the right order” Daniel said when he noticed that I was staring at Amelia.

“Really? What else does she like to do?” I asked hoping he will open up to me.

“She hates reading because she thinks it is boring, she loves watching Korean dramas, she hates whenever the house is dirty because it stresses her and she loves legos” He said.

“And what do you like?”I asked.

“Hmm…..Car racing, reading and eating” He said while grinning.

“Momma said you are my dad, Is that true?” He asked and I replied with a yes.

“I won’t understand if you tell me why you were not around but promise that you are going to be around from now on”He said.

“I promise”

“YAY” he screamed.

“Dan, keep it down” Amelia warned from upstairs.

“Sorry mom” He responded and I smiled at the exchange between the two.

I might have missed some important parts of his life like his birth, his first word, when he first learned how to walk, when he started going to school but everything is going to change now. Even though I don’t remember who Amelia is and what we had had together, I am willing to make this work…

“Should we check on her?”Daniel asked when we heard a noise that sounded as if she has broken something.

“Yes” I replied and we entered the room only to meet Amelia rearranging the room the designer had already done.

“Is there a problem with what the designer did?” I asked.

“No but it doesn’t feel right” She said while arranging Daniel stuffs into his closet. It is official. Remind me to always make sure my room is sparkling clean.

“Okay, suit yourself” I said and she nodded.

I woke up early and got ready for work. I entered the living room to see Daniel trying to wear his socks.

“You need a help with that buddy?’ I asked and he nodded.

“So, where is your mom?” I asked.

“She is making brea……”

“Food is ready” Amelia said before Daniel could finish his statement.

We ended up eating breakfast and for once in a long time I feel complete.

“Am going to drop Daniel at school, just text me the address” I tell Amy.

“OK, no problem” She said while me and Dan prepare to leave.

“Bye mom.”

“Love you” She said to him and we left.

“Take care of yourself” I said to Dan as I drop him off. He nodded while waving and saying goodbye.

I got to work and with a good mood, I can’t believe I could feel this complete.

I was actually enjoying myself and going through my work when Josephine walked or should I say barge in.

“Can’t you at least knock?” I said in annoyance.

“Am in my fiancee’s place of work, I don’t think I should do that kind of rubbish, now would you care to explain why you weren’t home yesterday” She yelled.

“I was busy, now can you kindly get out”

“What’s wrong with you? Ever since I mentioned that I was pregnant, you have been acting strange, more than usual” She said. OK…….. Calm down Ethan………you have to just play along even though you wish to strangle her.

“I am trying to wrap up work so that I can have time for you and the baby when we get married” I said

“You should have explained that, I would have totally understand and not try to kill myself with crazy thoughts” She said and I nodded.

“Can you leave now, I have a lot of work to attend to” I said.

“No problem, Are you coming home early today?” She asked.

“No, I have to attend a meeting and from there am travelling to California to sort out some businesses” I said. No way in hell was I going to Joe when I have Amelia and Daniel.

“Alright, I love you” She said and I hummed.

I seriously need to find a way to get closer to the truth……………………

I was halfway done with work when my Secretary called that Jeremy wanted to see me. This should be fun….After what Delle and Scott explained about what they think about Jeremy and my Secretary’s involvement in my accident, I am currently contemplating whether I should be involved in a murder or not. My best friend of 14 years was somehow involved in my accident and to think I trusted him the most aside from Scott.

“Hey dude” He said while walking in to sit in front of me.

“You never visit me at work”I said.

“I want to talk to you about something, I thought about it and decided that our friendship was worth more than anything else in this world” He said and I frowned.

“What do you want to talk about that is so serious?” I asked.

“About what really happened when you had that accident” He said……… OK……This is serious………..
