Honey.

“Then be my girlfriend.”

He said it with all seriousness, I wasn’t sure if he was joking or not. But I knew Lorenzo wasn’t one to joke around with such things. What he had said was so out of concept. So sudden that it left me feeling confused and lost.

When he noticed I didn’t say anything. He looked down at me with impatience. “Say something, Honey.”

“What will change if I become your girlfriend?”I asked the most important question. “Will I still be locked up here and restricted like a slave?”

His eyes looked distant as he thought of what I had just said. I’m sure he hadn’t meant to ask me to be his girlfriend. He just wanted a reason to make me stay here with him and he found one.

“You won’t be restricted and if you need a break from here, you can go whatever you want.”

“I want to go back home.”

His chin clenched. “Except from there.”

“Then what is the point of asking me to be your girlfriend if I don’t have my own freedom?”

“Honey, you can’t go home now. You can go anywher

  • Knots & Tie    I Have Been Patient With You.

    The living room was very spacious and filled with many luxurious interior decorations. Even the floor was made of glass. I looked around the living room in disbelief. How rich was Lorenzo for him to afford all these expensive things?He had told me he owned a pharmacy, but was that enough to get him everything he owned?“I looked back at him and said, “Your house is very beautiful. It has a lot of nice stuff.”He pulled me close to him and smiled down at me. “Our house,” he corrected. Then, he looked around and shrugged. “You were the one who chose the decoration.”My eyes traveled from the furnace to the posh furniture to the beautiful artworks that were hung on the walls and blinked. “I decorated this place?”“Yes, you did,” he said. “It was going to be our first time living together as a couple so you wanted it to feel like home.” He looked at me and asked, “Do you still like its interior design or should I let you go through others?”I furrowed my brow at his question. “Will you l

    Lorenzo had stayed with me throughout the day. He was attentive to all my needs and didn't let me do anything. At one point, I felt bad for not remembering him. Although I was his wife, he was a stranger to me.In the evening, I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Lorenzo had gone to see the doctor regarding a signature on some documents. I was left alone and had the time to think through everything that had happened so far.I could remember most of my life, but it was in an inadequate sequence. There were some things I mixed up. Each time I forced myself to disentangle my memories, it caused my head to ache.I sighed and clenched my hand by my side. How long will I remain like this?The door opened. Lorenzo walked inside. He looked concerned when he saw that I was still awake. He tried to coax me to sleep, but my mind was too messed up to give in. I turned in bed and looked at him. “It is hard to fall asleep,” I pointed out as he patted my head. “Something about being in a hospital

    After the doctor left, the man came close to me and held my hands. He rubbed his thumbs gently on the back of my hand and looked at me. “Don’t worry about it. We are going to get through this, trust me.”I furrowed my brows and looked down at our intertwined hands. “I don't even know your name, how do you expect me to trust you?”The man nodded. “I’m sorry for not introducing myself properly. I’m Lorenzo, your husband.”The name sounded too familiar to my ears. It was like knowing the rhyme of a song without even knowing its lyrics. But now wasn’t the time for me to dwell on why his name was familiar to me despite not recognizing him. The doctor had said my memory was distorted, that must be the reason why I couldn’t recognize him.“You said I had a car accident and that was what landed me here. What happened before that? Why was I in that car?”He blinked, looking like he was thinking of how to answer me. After a long pause, he said, “You were going to meet someone."I frowned. “Who?

    He slowly dropped his hand and rested it on his lap. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed. After what felt like a long silence, he finally spoke up. “We are married.”I shook my head. There was no way I would be married and wouldn’t remember that. “You are lying,” I replied. “There is no way I’m married.”The man exhaled deeply and picked up my hand resting on the bed. He nodded, looking sad. “It is okay. I understand that you are confused. You just woke up not quite long after a fatal accident, it is okay if things get wired up.”“Fatal accident?” I repeated, my eyes looking lost. “How did that happen? Is that why I was admitted here? I nearly died?”“Yes,” he answered. “But you survived it. You have always been a strong woman. I know you will survive this too.”I shifted backward on the bed, feeling overwhelmed with everything I was hearing.“What happened?” I asked. “Did anyone else die in the accident? What about my parents?” I looked around, feeling scared about their well-be

  • Knots & Tie    Part Four: Veils & Lace.

    Honey. The breeze blew gently through the window, glazing softly against my skin. My eyes fluttered open, taking in my environment. I was in a room that seemed much more like a hospital ward.Confused, I sat up on the bed, the slight movement shooting pain in the back of my head. I observed the ward. Every single thing seemed strange. I couldn’t place a thing together.Why was I here?While I was gathering my thoughts, the door leading to the room I was in opened and a young woman wearing a blue scrub walked into the room. She smiled warmly at me. “I’m glad to see you are awake,” She said and looked at a file in her hands. “How are you feeling?”I furrowed my brows, not understanding what she was talking about. “Who are you?”She looked at me awkwardly. It was like she didn’t expect me to ask that question. She blinked before replying. “I’m a nurse, I am here to check on you.”She paused.“Wait…” She dropped her hand, focusing her attention on me. “Do you remember what brought you h

  • Knots & Tie    Was This The End?

    Honey.I stood before the mirror, admiring my reflection. I smiled as I brushed my hands along the soft fabric of my wedding gown. Today was the day I was going to be married to Lorenzo, and if you ask me how it felt, the honest truth is that it still felt like a dream. We had been through a lot. Fought through the storm and here we are still standing. Together.The door leading to my room creaked and I turned to see Lorenzo walking into the room. He smiled when he saw me. His eyes swept across my dress. He walked up to me and cupped my face. “You look so lovely in this dress.”I smiled and brushed my hand along the collar of his three-piece suit. “You look great too.”He looked at my hand and held it gently. He patted it and looked at me. “How do you feel?”I shrugged. “I feel like a conqueror. I mean I finally get to become the wife of a vicious man like you.”He laughed and shook his head. “You know I will never hurt you again, right?”“Of course, I do,” I said. “Why do you think
