Keerah's POV#Previously..."Well if that's what you want to do, then I can't stop you, however, I don't think that's smart at all because you still don't know who was trying to kill you, and they might try to harm you again if you go back completely unprepared," Eric said and paused to hold my hands before he continued to speak."And about the fact that you want to be able to go on dates freely with me, I'm afraid you might not be able to do that because like I said, you are like a freaking celebrity, and you got eyes on your every move, and that is going to make it hard for us to meet in public places," Eric finished saying before looking at me.Eric had been looking down at our hands while he spoke, and I kept staring at him while thinking that somehow, he must have been trying to avoid eye contact with me.When Eric finished speaking, I felt a pang in my chest because I knew what he said was probably true and that made me feel sad, but I tried to smile through it not wanting Eric
Third person's POV.Jade watched Drew, silently anticipating his reply to what she was asking, but he was quiet.When Jade saw how his face was and how quiet he had been she decided to apologize while realizing what she was asking of him was not plausible.She knew she was only been selfish, she was trying to use him even though she knows that might not really work out well."You know what, just forget I ever asked you for that," Jade said quickly after realizing she would rather be alone than burden another person with her personal life matters.Plus she knows she'd rather be with Eric than be with anyone else, so she decided that she was going to tell Eric about it and she would do anything to make him believe her.She no longer cares if the baby would be the only reason why he is going to stay with her, because so long as she could be with him, then she doesn't really care what the conditions may be.***After jade said those words, she knew there would be repercussions, but she th
Eric's POV"Find out everything there is to know about Mel, without leaving out any tiny bit of details. Every single detail is just as important as the rest, please don't leave anything out," I told him and he nodded his head before saying he would get to it and then he left.After Karl left, I decided to watch and see what the flash I found back at Park Min's room held, but then I remembered how Keerah had left the sitting room, just a little while ago, and I know she was probably feeling bored while staying up there with nothing to do, so I left the study and went over to her room.I opened up the door slowly and peeped inside to see if she was in there which I know she probably would, because I hadn't seen her go out of the house in a while.However, when I looked inside the room, I found the room empty and that made me think that she was probably in the bathroom or the toilet, so I tried listening for any sound, but every where was quiet with no sounds coming from any where withi
Third person's POV, She wasn't even looking at the place she was going, she just allowed her feet to take her to the place she was going, so she kept walking in a straight line, and shifting whenever she senses someone in front of her.Her head wasn't faced downwards, but she was only staring ahead although her mind was elsewhere.Sia felt someone walking directly towards her, but she did look to see who it was, she only shifted to the side to allow the person to pass through, but the person also shifted to the same side as her.Sia shifted to another side too still not looking at the person, and the person still did the same, and that was when she decided to take a look at the person trying to disrupt her peaceful walk to the kitchen.When she finally snapped out of her world of thoughts, she looked up to see that it was one of the butlers who probably had a crush on her.Sia sighed heavily when she saw who it was because she wasn't ready for his useless talks now that she had so ma
Eric's POV..."I'm not here because I'm expecting you to take responsibility or anything of that sort, I just wanted you to know that I'm carrying your child. And if you feel you don't want to be part of it, then you don't have to be, don't hide behind that disgusting piece of crap that you hold as the truth." Jade added before turning swiftly and leave.I can't believe she actually had the guts to compare me with a man as evil as Molis Rick.Recalling her words sent a damn strange pain right through my heart. I thought the worst feeling of pain an betrayal I could ever feel was the one I felt months ago after I saw the disgusting sight of them kissing, but I guess I was wrong, because the thought that she just compared me with Molis Rick, only made the pain I fell right now double two folds.I was so confused as to what to do as I stayed rooted on the car bunkers thinking hard about everything that just happened.What I'm I supposed to do now, I thought to myself slowly as I ran my h
Third person PovFew other officers went into the warehouse to check, and they were all mind blown by the stench of the inside of the building, that they had to take steps back the moment they set their foot in the door.They didn't prepare themselves for the smell that hit them right in the face.They pinched the bridge of their nose and turned on their touch lights before going inside.The flashed the light at every corners of the building, while looking wearily at the peeled off paints from the wall that were littered all around the floor of the insides of the building.They tried to move their flash lights around, while walking gently, taking cautious steps as they all tried to avoid the black puddle of water that was almost everywhere in the building.They continued to walk into the vast empty space until their flashlight landed on something black.Although everything was black inside the building, what their flashlight landed on this time was black body bags.Not just one, about
Keerah's POVI watched with wide eyes how Eric stood static the moment she said those words, and I was also static because I was just as shocked as Eric to find out about this.I mean who wouldn't be surprised that her boyfriend's Ex-girlfriend shows up to announce they are pregnant.I didn't make any move from where I was standing, because I didn't want Eric or his girlfriend to know I was there, not because I wanted to eavesdrop, but because I didn't want to interrupt their conversations.I watched silently with hitched breath how Eric turned slowly to look at her, before asking her what she meant by she was pregnant."What do you mean by you're pregnant, what does that have to do with me," Eric asked her, his face straight as he started at her with a hard face, but she was quiet she didn't say a word, although she looked like she was about to say something, but Eric spoke before she did, so she closed her slightly opened mouth and watch Eric as he spoke."Should I congratulate you
Third person's POV...The detective pulled out all the documents that were available for the axe murder case and started to study it closely to monitor all there is to know about the case before he takes the case head-on.He was halfway through the files when his phone vibrated inside his pockets, and he brought it out to check who was texting him.When the detective saw who the text was from, he decided to ignore it because the matter at hand seemed more pressing to him, but before he would put his phone back down, the phone started to ring."Hello," the detective said pressing the phone to his ear even though he wasn't looking forward to speaking with the person calling."I sent you an article just a few seconds ago, can you please check its validity?" Damien; the person on the other end of the call told the detective who was still going through the files as he spoke."Okay, I'll take a look at it after the call," the detective announced, before dropping the call.***The detective d
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
