Keerah's POV*Previously*I searched the site for a few shorts and tops, I found some super cute ones that I selected and then I went to the inner wears section and started to select a few panties remembering that I only had one which I had thrown away after we left the island.I picked a few lingerie too which had a pair of bras just like the other panties I picked, and I was thankful that Eric had gotten up from there if not I wouldn't have been able to buy those in his presence.I knew they would be packaged before he gets to the mall, so he wouldn't know the whole of the things that I had gotten.I had finished shopping by the time Eric finished his call and came back downstairs to meet me."You done"? Eric asked after sitting down, and I just nodded."Did you get everything you needed," he asked again. "Yes, I did, and now I'm bored, I wanna go out," I said with a scrunched up face."We could go out-" Eric started to say and I cut him off mid-sentence."Really, can we really go
Eric's POV,After Molis Rick left, I went up to meet keerah and apologized for making her eat upstairs, all alone but she seems to understand as she wasn't too sad about it, but she was a little gloomy."Hey, you okay"? She asked me because when I came in, I didn't say anything."Yeah, I'm fine, sorry you had to come to eat up here alone," I apologized with a forced smile.I tried so much not to let how I felt after my encounter with Molis Rick show on my face.I hated the fact that he had that much effect on me. I had promised not to be botheSeeing him only brings back memories I try hard to forget, but he doesn't give a damn like always. Family is nothing to him, all he cares about and would only ever care about was his business. The shitty things he does for money.I tried to rid myself of all those thoughts, as I didn't want to have to tell Keerah what was really going on."Didn't you say I needed some shopping"? Keerah said sounding excited like she was trying to lift my mood. M
Eric's POVWhen I got home, I walked in with my hands filled with shopping bags and some were still left inside the car.When I walked on, I didn't notice the shoes at the door until I went back to get the rest of the bags."Who's here"? I asked Keerah and she pointed towards the kitchen while saying "oh, your mom is here."My face hardened immediately, it can't possibly be who I was thinking because if it was I'm afraid Keerah might have to see my dark side.I knew only one person who could play such pranks, and that person doesn't even deserve to be called human.I took fast strides into the kitchen with a hard face, but it softened immediately after I saw who it was. It was just Ms Maya. I introduced them to each other and then I asked keerah to go try on the clothes we had bought upstairs in her room.We went upstairs to her room and she picked up the blue dress I asked her to get and went into the bathroom to change into them.While she was in the bathroom my phone rang; it was H
Keerah's POV,After watching Eric's reaction to the blue dress I wore, I felt I loved the dress instantly, so I went back into the bathroom and changed into one of the shorts and a tank top that I picked selected.I came back out and went to lay down on the bed close to Eric, and then put my head on his lap because I was feeling bored.I wanted to go out somewhere but I don't know if I can. Apparently, living a life where everyone knows you is the same as living a hard life because no matter what you do everyone is going to be excited about it.While shopping for clothes, I saw a few news pops up with my name on it and a picture of me wearing a dress that was taken as if I was unaware of the picture, had the words "Rumours that Akeerah Duke Walter is not missing she's just hiding away from her families."I was taken aback when I saw the news at first, and I was even tempted to open and read the full news, but then I didn't I just exited the site and continued my shopping not wanting t
Keerah's POV,Ms Maya didn't say anything about me so I was guessing she probably doesn't know who I was.I was about to ask her something else when I a shout suddenly erupted from my mouth."Oh, dear what is it, are you okay," Ms Maya shouts all at once while rushing to me.My hands instantly went to my abdomen, which felt like it was being stabbed from within.I couldn't answer Ms Maya as all I could focus on was the pain I was feeling in my stomach. I couldn't even stand properly as I crouched down while pressing hard on my stomach.I heard Eric's rushed footsteps down the stairs as he rushes to come to the kitchen. He must have heard my shout from where he was because the way rushes towards me while asking me if I was okay."What happened to her, " Eric asked Ms Maya and I heard her say, "I don't know, one moment she was fine and we were having a conversation, and now she's on the floor holding her stomach," Ms Maya said confused.Eric made me get up and picked me up bridal style
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
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
