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
Third-person POV,Bang! Bang!! bang! bang!!!The sound of someone harshly banging their fist on the front door to Eric's house, made him narrow his eyebrows."Who the fuck is that, can the person not see the doorbell at the door," Eric yelled from up the stairs before walking to the front door.He checked the screen that shows the CCTV footage of his doorstep, and a frown settled on his face, with his forehead knitted together due to the fact that he was frowning so hard."What is he doing here, and since when did he start delivering peoples anger," Eric asked before throwing the door open.The moment the door opened wide enough for the person outside to walk in, a hard fist came flying across Eric's face, which he tried to dunk away from, but was too late because he was caught unaware, making the fist connect with his cheeks."What the actual fu-" he started to say but another fist flying his way, made him halt, not completing the words he was about to say.He was able to avoid the s
Keerah's POVI know if Eric would have to pick between me and Jade his ex girlfriend, then he would probably be picking Jade, because he probably loves her and not me, plus she was carrying his baby, so I'm clearly not an option.Although I know that was the exact same thing that was going to happen, there was a tiny bit of my heart that wants to believe that what we shared, which was nothing compared to a 2year old relationship, should be at least a reason enough for him to choose to be with me.However,I know those were all nothing but my own wishful thinking. Because no matter how much I would wish for that to happen, I know I don't stand a chance not even the slightest bit.Jade already has all the odds in her favour, one of the biggest ones amongst it was the fact that Eric loves her, and I know he still does.I could still recall the look of hurt on his face whenever he was speaking about Jade, or whenever he mentions her name.I could still recall the first day I had met her, a
Keerah's POVI guess this is where my journey with him ends. I thought what we had would last forever, but I guess forever isn't a real word.Maybe I shouldn't have expected anything from a relationship that didn't feel like one I the first place. The feelings were not mutual, to begin with, however, I still wanted to believe it would grow mutual with time.I think had high hopes of that happening because of how he seemed back at the island.Eric felt like a completely different person ever since we left, or maybe I just felt that way. Either way, I couldn't find the serene feeling I felt back at the island, because he was either busy with one thing or he was busy with another.But I had tried to be understanding. Thinking that he needed to settle the things he had left in attended to while he stayed back at that island, but I guess I was wrong.Eric never really thought of me as anything but a girl he could steal a kiss from whenever he felt like it, and this was why he didn't even t
Eric's POV.I left after the conversation I had with Keerah and went to my room.I stayed seated on the bed with my head in my hands, while my mind kept running thousands of thoughts all at the same time.I wanted to stop Keerah from leaving, but I know that was not an option because things have become even more complicated than they ever were.I tried to lay down and get some sleep, but that didn't work, so I went over to my study room and decided to do a few detectives works.Maybe if I tried to busy myself by trying to catch the people I've been looking for, then the things in my head might lessen.I walked over to the room and decided to check what was in the flash that I had gotten from Park Min's room.I opened the door, the room was dark but I didn't bother to turn on the lights as the darkness depict my current plight.So many things seemed to have been going on with my life since I returned from the Island all at the same time like they were all perfectly planned and waiting
Keerah's POVWe stopped in front of the large gate, as someone questioned Eric probably asking why he was here.I watched how he spoke to them telling them he was here to bring me back home. The person he was talking to was a man dressed in a black suit who had dark shades on.The man looked towards me and he abruptly took a step back and bowed at me. I furrowed my eyebrows at this, as I couldn't understand why he was bowing.I didn't know how to react to his bow, because it felt awkward, so I just gave a small nod of my head before he stepped aside and I saw him press his ear before speaking some incoherent words, and the large gate started to slide open.Eric zoomed off the moment the gate was wide enough to let us in.At first, when I saw the large gate in front of us, I thought it was a gate to a small City or an estate, but when we drove inside, there was no house in sight, just a long road that looked endless.We drove for a while before I saw a building by the left-hand side of
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
