Eric's POV,"You're gonna stay with me even after I recall my memories, right Eric," Keerah asked making my hands freeze instantly.I know telling her I'll be with her even after her memories are back would be a total lie, because I knew we can't be together no matter how much I might want that, it's just impossible for us to be.So instead of saying yes, I remained quiet for a while, and I tried to think of what I could tell her that wouldn't be a complete lie.Keerah got up gently from my lap, and stared at me for a while probably trying to read my facial expressions, she then reached her hands up to touch my face."Hey, why aren't you answering Eric," she asked slowly while staring into my eyes.I couldn't stare back at her, afraid that she'd see through the conflict behind my eyes.My gaze was down until I was finally able to speak, after contemplating too much about what I could say."I'll be with you every step of the way Keerah," I said finally before staring into her beautiful
Eric's POV"You mean It's Molis Rick," I corrected, that man had long seized being my father the moment he decided to mess up with my life."Yeah, he came to the company a few days ago and sat in the board meeting we had," Harry said.It wasn't entirely a surprise that he did that, because I know he was capable of doing that and even more, but I also know he hadn't been to the company before not even once.This is the first time he did that and that made me wonder why. I know Molis Rick does everything after cautiously planning it out so it wouldn't have been a complete surprise if I should find out that he was there because of their shitty business.I remember him once saying it was a great idea that I thought about setting up my own company because a company that develops games is perfect for hiding dirty money...I had told him to back off my company and he did but I guess he only did that for the time being, while planning on how to make use of it properly some other times."Why w
Third person's POV,***Duke Walter's Mansion.The residents of the house carried on with those activities while acting as if nothing happened, but in reality, they missed their young miss so much.Some of the residents in the Duke Walters mansions are people who had known the young miss Akeerah since she was born.They were also people who watched her grow up and even though she was always rude to them, they couldn't help but feel a form of attachment towards her.Everyone in the mansion wished for her to return in one healthy piece, most especially Sia. Sia was the personal assistant of Akeerah since she was little, she was like the sister she never had.Akeerah was Sia's best friend even though she was rude to her at first, but she was only that way because she hadn't grown comfortable with her yet.However, when she did, she became so comfortable that they became friends.Sia was the only one who felt out of place among all the workers in the mansion. Her job had always been to lo
Third persons POV,"They finally got a lead on Keerah's kidnapping case, I think they are going to find her soon," Damien said to Sia after they sat on the bed.Damien didn't sound too thrilled by the news he was telling Sia, but he knew the news would lift up her mood because he knew just how much his girlfriend loved Keerah.The moment Sia got the news, her face that looked so down and colourless just a moment ago brightened up instantly. She felt a little bit if hope that her young miss was going to be perfectly fine.Sia was about to ask Damien about the lead they found, when Damien's phone started to vibrate in the pocket of his jean trouser, so he brought it out and received the phone."Mrs Walter," he said into the phone after checking who was calling."Come upstairs boy," Mrs Walter said, and that made Damien a little bit disappointed.Damien was used to teasing Mrs Walter by calling her by Mrs Walter instead of the mom he usually calls her and she would play along and laugh a
Third persons POV.Inside a dishevelled looking sitting room, where clothes had covered the top of the only sofa available in the small space, and also, different forms of empty cans laid scattered on the floor of the sitting room.A girl in a tight-fitting clothes laid in the midst of these mess.She didn't care about how the place looked, she hadn't cared about anything for the past few months.All she could do all day was wake up, get drunk, and go back to sleep. But a few days ago, she couldn't bear the smell of alcohol; her only solace.She had to experience the pain she had been trying so much to push out for weeks now. At first she could do that with the help of alcohol, but now that she could no longer withstand the smell of it, things had become even much more messier.The girl didn't know why she couldn't drink anymore, but she thought maybe she had abused it for too long and her body is now rejecting it completely.The smell of alcohol now makes her want to empty the whole
Eric's POV***Previously***When I entered the room I saw that she was lying on the bed with her feet brought up to her chest.So I went to sit beside her on the bed and asked her to get up a d take the honey tea.After taking it, she laid back on the bed and then I told her to put a pillow in between her legs and it might ease her pain.She did what I asked, and I assumed it was working because she then started a conversation."Where did you learn all this," she asked, and I felt a pang in my chest at the thought of the person who made me know all this."From Jade, she used to have intense cramps whenever she gets her period, so I might have picked up a few points from watching her for more than a year," I answered slowly while trying not to grit my teeth."How long did you guys dated for," she asked me."Less than two years, " I answered her with a hard face but she didn't see it because she wasn't staring at me."Why did you guys break up, Ms Maya told me she was a nice person," sh
Keerah's POV,"shit happens sometimes," Eric said, and I remained silent, thinking about what could have caused them to break up, even though I know he was probably head over heels for her when they dated because even now I feel he still loves her from the way he was talking about her."You still love her, don't you, that's the reason why you said you couldn't fall in love with me right"? I uttered in a soft voice, more in a statement like than a question, but Eric remained quiet.His silence held more answers than his words would ever tell, and that made me feel like shit.Even though I didn't want to admit to myself, a huge part of me was silently hoping that Eric would fall in love with me, but seeing how much he still loves his Ex, I don't think I stand a chance I'm just going to remain an island fling to him.The thought that I was just someone Eric used as an island fling to get over his Ex, made me feel a sort of tightness in my chest, a feeling I only get after having a nightm
Keerah's POVThe drive from Eric's house to where we were going was a short and silent one which was not my ideal expectation of what would happen as we went out to have fun.Eric parked his car in the parking lot of a place that had different forms of stuff, which made the place looked like a huge playground.Nobody was within sight just me and Eric and he was about to get out of the car when I quickly reached out my hands and grabbed his stopping him midway to opening the car door.He stared at our hands and then raised his head to slowly stare at me when I called his name slowly."Eric," I said slowly, the way I called his name, making it sound like it was holding thousands of messages within it.The look in my eyes saying thousands of words that I couldn't let past my mouth."I...," I said then paused and took a deep breath before deciding to continue..."I...," I started to say again, deciding to confess how I truly feel about him, but then the words didn't leave my mouth, it's l
Keerah POVThe sound of someone speaking from a far distance was what pulled me out of the oblivion I was in for a couple of hours.My eyes started to flutter open slowly as the sound of the voice kept growing nigher.Since I didn’t open up my eyes all at once, my eyes took the time to adjust to the brightness of the room before it finally opened completely.I turned my head slowly trying to get familiar with my environment, and it looked like I was in a hospital room or something because all the walls were white.I slowly turned my head back to look at the person who’s voice I think woke me up, and that person turned out to be my mom.She was holding up my hand in her two hands, while her head was down, and I think she didn’t realize that I was awake because I didn’t get up, so she continued speaking quietly."Please baby, you need to wake up," she kept on saying."Mom," I called out slowly after I had turned my head to where she was seated.She didn’t respond so I assume she probabl
Eric’s POV,I resisted the urge to punch a hole into the hospital wall, so I looked in front of me at two pairs of eyes that were glaring holes into my head that had been staring down at my feet, and I also glared back at him.I couldn’t help but wonder what his relationship with her was, and I don’t think I’m going to like it when I find out what he was to her, because I know he probably wasn’t her brother since she was an only child.We were there for about a few minutes before her parents also came over to where we were standing."What did the doctors say, is my baby going to be okay," Keerah’s mother’s worried voice filled the empty hallways as she quickly came over to the guy standing in front of me."She’s going to be okay Mom, they are just trying to get a few tests done," he replied and that made me knit my eyebrows together.Does that mean he is her brother, if he is then why did no one know about the fact that Keerah had an older brother I thought, as I continued to watch ho
Eric’s POV...The phone rang for quite a while and she didn’t pick up which almost made me start the car to drive over to her apartment, but just before it would stop ringing, she answered with a quiet hello."Hello, " she asked into the phone a few times, but I was quiet because I didn’t think it was okay for me to talk to her over the phone, not after the last conversations we had."Why did you call if you weren’t going to say anything," she said just when I was about to end the call.I sighed loudly and told her I was coming over to her house to have a real talk about the whole pregnancy issue.While I was still speaking with her, I almost forgot that Keerah could actually be the one in danger and that made me yell a few curse words in Italian before ending the call and starting the car quickly and zooming off to the Duke Walters mansion."Shit!" I kept yelling a few times as I thought of the way I had left her back at her house without a a word.I can’t believe I left like that al
Keerah's POV, #previously"And who was the guy that just left?" He asked pointing towards the doorway with a hard look on his face."Oh that was Eric dear, he was the one who found her and he brought her to us," My mom replied to him patiently."Where did he find her, how do we know he is not the person who kidnapped her," Damien said his voice filled with doubt.My mom tried to narrate the whole story that Eric had told her when we came earlier to him and I watched how he listened attentively to everything she said and when she was done speaking, he also spoke."So let me get this straight." He said and paused for a while before starting to speak again."So what you're saying is she woke up on an island with no memories at all, and that island also happened to be the same island where this so-called Eric was having a vacation, and it was just the two of them on that island for God knows how long, and he claims he doesn't know or have any idea how she ended up there," Damien said, re
Eric's POV,We finished with the funeral after a while and everyone was beginning to leave, but we didn't move. I, Karl and Harry waited behind, but I looked from side to side watching the faces of all the people leaving, and someone among the crowd caught my attention. "Mel!" I grunted and took fast strides but before I would catch up to her, she blended into the crowd.I stopped and looked around but she was nowhere to be found and if not for the fact that I locked eyes with her, then I would have thought that my head made her up, because I was thinking of ways to find her.However, no matter how much I looked around the crowd, I still couldn't find her. At this point, my blood was boiling over. I can't believe she had the damn guts to attend his funeral after what she did."Hey what's going on," Karl asked me coming over to where I was standing. It was the first words he had spoken to me since I arrived."I just saw Mel," I replied still looking around."Yo I don't think she'll com
Third-person POV.Damien left her in the room after a he kept getting a lot of phone calls about the meeting he was supposed to be attending.Although he wanted to continue to stay in her embrace, he couldn't help but go for the meeting because he knew it was important and it wouldn't hold without him.After he left Sia in her room she stayed in bed like always imagining what it would be like after her young miss returns.Although she knew she was going to be extremely excited, she still couldn't help but feel a little anxious that she might still be in danger when she returns.She was lost in those thoughts when a knock sounded on her door."Yes," she answered. "you can come in," she added when the person didn't come in after a while."Hi," the person at the door said slowly with a raise of her hand, it was Joey "I came to return this," she said shaking the hand drier in her hand."Thank you for lending it to me," Joey said before dropping it on top of the bed side table.Sia didn't
Keerah's POVEven though Eric was gone for a few minutes now, I couldn't help but have a tiny bit of the hope that he would turn around even for a split second just to tell me he would be back.But he didn't, I waited and waited and continued to wait all the while ignoring all the questions thrown at me by the guy who was seated on the chair beside me, the same guy who had been hugging only a while ago."Hey, Damien let her be for now," I heard my mom say to the guy who was seated beside me."She doesn't remember anything, " she added."Oh my God, baby are you okay?" My mom asked with a sort of urgency in her voice and that snapped me out of my thoughts."Look, Damien, you made her cry," she scolded the guy beside me.I didn't understand why she said that because I did not realize the tears I had been trying so hard to hold back has rolled down my cheeks until I reached up to my hands to my face and touched the wetness on it.I quickly got rid of the tears and then shook my head slowl
Eric's POV,I smiled at everyone awkwardly before quickly apologizing for cursing out loud, something I'm sure they are probably not used to.I can't believe I had totally forgotten about Park Min. He fucking just died and I'm already too busy to remember the funeral.I couldn't bring myself to spend even a second more in that place, so I got up and left after informing the families that I really needed to leave because something important came up.Keerah's mom even asked if I might need help with anything and I thanked her before declining her offer to help while letting her know it wasn't something I needed help with.I hurried out of the house and into my car, which was still parked at the front door, and zoomed out of the place in a heartbeat.I can't believe I almost missed his funeral, which was the only thing I could do for him now that he was dead and never coming back.I drove the car at a high speed not bothering about the speed warnings at the side of the road since the onl
Keerah's POV.One of the girls walked over to the door and threw it open and then said "Your bath Mi lady."I walked over to the opened door and I was mind blown by the interior of the bathroom.I never thought a privy could be so damn beautiful with marvellous interior designs.I walked inside the bathroom and saw a big bathtub that was filled with bubbly scented water and a few red rose petals in the middle of the gigantic bathroom.The bathroom was as big as my room at Eric's place and I couldn't help but fall in love with every bit of its design.When I was completely inside the bathroom, the girl who had opened the doors for me, told me they'll be right outside the door if I need anything, before she closed the door.Although I wasn't thrilled about taking a bath at first, my mind had completely changed the moment I saw the bathroom, so I stripped off my clothes and entered into the bathtub.I noticed the small tub that was connected to the large bathtub and I assumed that was pr
