Eric's POVWhen Keera asked if we could stay a little bit longer, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow not sure if she meant it or if she only said that to pull my legs since she always seems to be joking, but when I asked her why, what she said and how her face looked so down, which was totally the opposite of the jovial person she was just a couple of seconds ago, and that made realization dawned on my face.I was only thinking about myself, I didn't consider if Keera wanted to leave just yet. I mean I remember her saying she doesn't want to leave just a few days ago, I should have known she'd be scared to face the outside world, completely oblivious of whom to trust out there.And that reminds me of my thoughts on how I'd planned to let her stay with me and gauge the situation before letting her go back home because I needed to be sure that she is safe to be back home. I wanted to tell her we might be able to stay a few more days, but I had to check a few things first before I do
Keerah's POVwhen I woke up this morning it was from a nightmare as usual but today something was different, I remembered. I remembered what happened in the dream and it felt so real like I was living that exact moment.In the dream, I was somewhere high and someone was trying to push me, a lady to be precise. she appeared to be someone I know, but I'm not sure what kind of relationship I share with her.I was struggling to fight her off as she tried to push me off from the high place, it looked like some rooftop of a building. I held onto her arms as I tried so hard not to fall off but she seemed a little stronger than I'm as she forcefully yanks my hands off from mine, and then pushed me off.As I fell from a place that high, the fall was endless, and I didn't just feel scared from the fact that I might die from that fall, I felt a terrible heartache from the feeling of being betrayed by someone I completely trust...I woke up right at the moment I had hit the ground and I was compl
Keera's POVwhen I recalled the fact that we were set to leave this place in a few days, I couldn't help but feel sad as I realized I do not want to leave this island anymore. This is a life I've come to love and this is a life I honestly want to keep living.I don't know how I felt about facing the outside world without any memories of myself and I'm also completely frightened by the fact that I might not really be able to trust anyone.Even though Eric had asked me to trust him, I don't know if it only meant for as long as we were here, I could trust him or if he was also indicating that I should trust him even after we are to return to Vienna, Austria...The fear of what I might find outside this place, coupled with the fact that I might lose Eric as soon as we were back in Vienna, forced me to say what I did next..."Can't we just stay here-" I paused, before adding "forever?" I asked Eric worriedly, as I couldn't keep the worries bottled up any longer.Eric watched me closely befo
Eric's POV,When keerah proposed we watch the sunset, I only agreed to it because I didn't want her to feel lonely.So we sat there silently letting our thoughts run wild, but then I realized I hadn't gone for the hunting I was supposed to which meant we had no dinner for tonight."Shit!" I exclaimed while getting up from my sitting position and Keerah did the same."What, what is it Eric," she asked worriedly."There's no dinner for tonight," I announced as I run my hands through my head a few times."How could I have forgotten that," I said after a while, and then Keera looks at me with furrowed eyebrows probably confused about my sudden plight for the lack of dinner."How could I have forgotten to go hunting," I mumbled to myself."Why are you so disturbed though, are you that hungry?" Keerah asked while staring at me. When she said that, I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows before asking her if she wasn't hungry."I'm not that hungry, and even if I were, we could just eat some
Keerah's POV"I see you wanna be my dinner tonight," Eric said his voice sounding extremely low, while he blew a small air into my neck, and I felt my body completely stiffen."Relax Kee, you're not gonna die from being my dinner, you're just gonna be screaming in pure ecstasy," He said into my ear.And I felt blood rushed up to my cheeks, which I'm sure had become as crimson as they could ever be."Come with me," Eric said and started to tug my hand and I reluctantly moved my feet and followed him."But it's not yet time for dinner," I mumbled but I didn't try to stop him from taking me inside the cave."What better time could there be to having dinner than when the sun just went down," Eric said, with a smile, even though I couldn't see his face but I could tell from his voice that he has that beautiful smile of his on his face, A smile that I never wanna stop seeing.Eric stopped abruptly, when we entered the cave, causing me to come crash into him because I was staring down at my
Keerah's POVThe suns reflection on the lake made it looked like they were diamond studs inside them. I hugged my arms to my body while watching the lake, trying to let off all my negative thoughts into the freezy air.I was still standing by the lake trying to let go of all the thoughts but they just wouldn't leave. If I managed to stop thinking about one, another one just pops up.I had been able to stop thinking about how all this might mean nothing to Eric. But then thought of the dream I had two days ago, came playing in my head.I couldn't help but wonder if the dream meant something, or if it had something to do with what happened to me, to make me lose my memories.I tried to think about the face of the person that pushed me, but I couldn't picture it in full detail.I was so lost in the world of my thoughts, that I didn't even hear footsteps because the next thing I know was that I felt two arms wrapped around my small waist and a gentle kiss was placed on the crown of my hea
Keerah's POV,At the hunting grounds, I watched how Eric skillfully used the shotgun to fire shots at the sight of a bird, but the bird escaped."Where did you learn how to shoot," I asked Eric watching how he tried to focus on aiming at a bird that was on a tall tree."From Drew," he said and continued to focus as if I'm supposed to know who Drew was."Your older brother?" I asked, but before he would answer me, he fired at the bird which came falling to the ground after the bullet hit it."He's like one to me, but he's more of a friend most of the time," Eric said before turning to ask me if I wanted to try learning how to shoot.I was feeling a little bit reluctant at first but then I decided to give it a try, not because I really want to, because I know I'm not going to be shooting any animal, or anything for that matter, but I agreed to it because I wanted to feel the warmness from Eric's chest as he stands behind me to teach me how to fire a good shot.Eric was standing behind m
What if Eric leaves you after you leave the island, that annoying voice in my head offered.And even I though tried so hard to remain optimistic, but I just couldn't because I know the voice could be right, because everything that happened to me here on this island seems to all look questionable.Eric could have been lying to me for all I know, and it would be easy for him because I have no memories whatsoever of what happened to me, or how exactly I got here.The biggest part of my heart believes Eric has nothing to do with what happened to me, but there's still that tiny part that just wouldn't give in. The part that solely believes all I think Eric is, was all just nothing but a facade and that he was just like this just to make me feel at ease about being taken by him.Even though it's just a tiny part of me that thinks Eric isn't what he appears to be, it still has so much effect on my sanity, and at that moment I wanted nothing more than to just get back my memories and be clea
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
