Keera's POVI sat By the waterfalls silently, the previous event replaying in my head for the umpteenth time more, before I got uncontrollably bored, I later concluded that I could not change what had happened.So I stood up, not wanting to go back to the cave just yet, so I decided to play around for a while, before going back in. Hopefully, Eric's gone from the cave by then, as I don't think I'm ready to face him yet.I went to the field of lilies and picked up one, apologizing to the poor flower for plucking it, I then proceeded to put it in my hair after using my hands to comb through it.My hair was so much better than the tangled mess it was yesterday, as it cascaded down my back in form of messy beachy waves, so I'm sure the flower doesn't look too out of place.I looked up at the sky using my right hand to shield my eyes from the sun, and the sky was a pretty shade of blue and at that moment, I forgot all about my embarrassment and all I felt was pure happiness.My happy state
Keera's POVWhen I went back onto the cave, I went straight to the bath tub after picking up clothes for changing, I then stripped off my dirty ones, and discarded them on the floor before proceeding to take the long-overdue bath...After taking my bath I put on one of the sweatshirts and one of the boxers Eric's brought for me, while wondering why he had given them to me.I'm sure they were Eric's boxers though they looked like they were new, and I don't think he's ever worn them... I thought involuntarily as I checked the clothes...The sweat shirt was a little too big and I had to fold it's arms a little. But the boxers on the other hand was not big at all because it hugged my curves perfectly, almost like a second skin but the sweat shirt was long enough to cover it...I then proceeded to put on my snickers, before going back into the main cave, Eric was not there just as I hadn't expected him to be...I decided to sit down and try to remember my past... I mean I'm not sure it wor
Eric's POV,I was laughing so hard at keera's bewildered expression when I said, she'd probably cost a few million dollars if I decided to sell her...She must have thought that I was serious because the look on her face matched that of fear...I wanted to play along, make her think I was really serious but I just couldn't stop myself from laughing.Ever since keera got here, I've laughed more than I ever did my entire life and for some odd reason am glad I told her to come back to the cave... I was bent over while laughing, so I didn't see keera getting up from the rock where she was sitting.The Next thing I know is that I was falling, I grabbed onto the only thing I could reach, which happens to be keera's hand to stop myself from falling, which of course was a frail attempt considering my built body, and keera's small one...So before I knew it we were both on the ground.Oh, well I was on the ground, keera was sprawled on top of me...I groaned when my body made an impact with t
Eric's POVNow, I really regret suggesting to play this game, as I stood there in just my boxers...Okay, my regrets were not because I was standing in just my boxers, my regrets were because Keera also stood a few meters away in just the boxers I brought her and her pale blue almost transparent Lacey bra...A part of me knew nothing good was gonna come out of playing *strip or dare.A few minutes earlier"Yes, yes what's the game, and what are the rules?Keera said while bobbing her head like some 3-year-old...After racking my brain for a few minutes, keera continued to stare at me like a 3-year-old waiting to see a magic trick, I finally came up with the idea of playing strip or dare..." Okay...what are the rules," keerah asked excitedly."Well basically I dare you to do something, and you pick either to do the dare or strip. No cheating, plus you can't dare someone to take off their clothes or mimic a person's dare," I explained and she appeared to think of it for a while, before
Keera's POVI woke up this morning terrified of the nightmare I had.I was so confused about it. What made the dream terrifying was the fact that it felt like a memory, it felt so real like I've lived that same moments before...I was covered in a cold sweat when I opened my eyes, I quickly sat up after realizing it was all a nightmare.I was sitting on the bed for a while, trying to catch my breath and also remember what exactly the dream was about, but for some odd reason, I can't seem to remember.All I know is that I was terrified and I certainly hope it was not a memory.I looked to the other bed and saw that Eric was no longer there, he must have gone to take his bath.I stood up from the bed after discarding my blanket I went outside the cave...The air was a little bit chilly today, I guess it would soon be Winter...I hope we find a way to get out of this place before Winter begins fully Because if we don't then we would probably die before winter ends.I went to the waterfal
Keera's POVWhen Eric said he couldn't tell me anything at least for now, I didn't want to pry, he has a point though I mean, I'm a stranger he just met...Maybe he will someday when he learns to trust me."That's ok man," I told Eric while patting his back...Eric just turned and said"Trust Keerah to always turn a serious situation into a joke"And we both laughed..."Hey wanna see something fun?" Eric asked. "of course, what is it?""Follow me," he said and started to go in a direction that was as if he were going around the cave.We kept walking, the road was becoming hilly, and I started to doubt Eric's definition of fun...Like can climbing up a hill be defined as fun?"Seriously Eric is this what you call fun? Climbing a hill? You should have told me it was a hill climb and then I would have definitely passed on the offer,"I complained for the umpteenth time."Patience Keerah you'd see it was all worth it" Eric tries to persuade me."I doubt it would though," I mumbled back wh
Eric's POVWhen I asked keera if she wanted to hear a secret I didn't know which of the secrets I should tell her first.I contemplated on whether or not I should tell her about the fact that I know who she is, or should I just tell her what really made me come here?I later settled with telling her we have a way out of here...We can go home before winter starts, I said while looking at her to see her expression...Her face was blank for a few moments before she realized what I just said and looked at me with eyes as wide as saucers..."Are you serious? How did you find a way? Did you contact a rescue team? How long before they arrive?" She asked all at the same time."Shit! keera calm down, which one of these questions do you want me to answer first?" I asked while smiling at her confused state..."All of it if possible..."She said back probably eager to hear the whole story..."Well for starters I came here on my own with a helicopter, I needed to get away from reality even if it
Someone in Vienna's POVI was sitting in my office when drew came in."Boss, there's no news yet.""And Why is that?"I asked anger lacing through my voice."Am sorry boss we searched everywhere""What do you mean by you searched everywhere?So you mean he vanished from the face of the earth?"How can the best of my men not be able to carry out a simple task? I thought out loud..."And what about the girl did you find her? ""No boss "Find them I said, my voice thundering in the whole room.And he hurriedly left my office after saying "yes boss"I've been trying to find two people who vanished the face of the earth.One was someone who needs to be found and the other someone who needs to be punished.It's either they both are so good at hiding or my boys are beginning to slack off. If it's the latter I'd have to do something about I can't afford to let slackers work for me.*****Eric's POVThe ear-piercing sound I heard, caused me to start running in the direction I heard the sound f
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
