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
Eric's POVToday was officially our last day on the island, and I noticed that Keerah has been looking gloomy for the past few days, I knew she was probably like that because she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that we are going to leave.So when I woke up this morning, I thought I could at least go out of my way to do things that might leave an unforgettable memory about this place to her. I left the cave very early, after deciding to fix a picnic for us. I didn't really know what I would do to boost her mood like I don't even why I cared about making her have an unforgettable memory about this place. I know I wasn't planning on staying for long after we leave, not even if I wanted to, I can't stay with her knowing I might never be able to love her. So I only planned to let her stay with me until she is okay with returning to her family.But I just had to go out of my way and prepare a clumsy picnic with the blankets we had, and I also remembered how she loved the flowers so
Keerah's POV.I woke up very early today because I couldn't sleep last night. Today was the day we leave this place, and I've been feeling too anxious about everything.I looked beside me to see Eric still asleep which was a rare sight because he's mostly up and gone every morning before I woke up.I got out of the bed gently, not wanting to wake him up. It was still too early, I could barely even see clearly inside the cave, but I still managed to put on my shoes and left the cave to go outside.I wanted to do everything I knew I'd miss after we leave the island and the list wasn't that long so I figured I'd be able to get them all done, probably before Eric wakes up.The first thing I wanted to do was go to the field of roses and lilies.So I walked slowly in the path that leads to the field. However, before I completely left the cave's entrance, I looked back at the cave, at the beautiful weeds that had grown around the cave wall acting like wallpapers.I also saw that the rare flo
Eric's POV.We were finally out of the island, and I was feeling a little bit nostalgic at the fact that we were out of that place.I had been the one who continuously teased Keerah when she was sad about leaving, but I myself was now feeling the same thing she felt.After we landed at my families small-sized private airport, I picked up my car keys that were in the copter and got out of it. I and keerah walked towards the car that was parked at the far side in the empty field.It was the same car I left about a month ago. We got into the car and I looked towards Keerah to ask her why she has been silent science we left, but the look on her face only made me take her hand and gave it a little squeeze.She looked so nervous but I knew it was only a matter of time before she becomes a costumed with everything she finds new until her memories fully return.I couldn't help but think that Keerah was strong for someone whose nature appeared to look a little too weak.And honestly, I don't k
Keerah's POV.After we entered the car, I tried my best to remain calm, but I couldn't. I couldn't stop imaging the scenarios that could possibly happen now that we were back in the city.Our ride was eerily silent, but Eric held on to my hand and squeezed it nationally, while he drove with his other hand.I was nervous about everything but the moment we hit the road I couldn't help but be in total awe at the view of the city. When we landed, it was almost nighttime, but everywhere was still bright.I looked out the window as we passed a few tall buildings which were looking a little old but they still managed to appear beautiful.Some of the buildings were painted a pale white, while others were looking grey from how old they were.I looked from side to side, and only a few people were walking by sideways. Some of them had their hands to this ears holding their phones, probably on a call with someone.Some people were holding up plastic cups as they hurried down the road. Nobody see
Third persons POV. **Duke Walter's mansion**In a grand living room that was elegantly decorated with onarments like it was a day of celebration, stood a lady who looked to be in her early 40s as she continued to sob quietly into the broad chest of her husband.She had been going through thousands of emotions for the past few weeks. She had gone from being shock, to being confused, and then becoming angry to being sad to feeling miserable.And now all she felt was emptiness, a large hole was dug into her heart, and no matter what she did, she couldn't fill up the emptiness."All my life, I thought money could buy anything," the woman complained into the chest of her husband.And then she classically blew her nose into the rag that was handed to her by a lady that stood a few meters away from her.Even though the lady was sad, and felt miserable, she still managed to cry elegantly."Please, calm down honey, I'm doing all I can to find her, " The woman's husband spoke, but her shoulder
Keerah's POVStaying at Eric's place wasn't that different from staying at the Island, well except I couldn't enjoy the hot spring, or watch the waterfalls, but other than that, I think his place is also great.His garden of flowers kind of reminded me of the field of flowers back at the Island, and also the fruit farm. Just that it was all in the same location unlike back at the island where the fruits farm was in a different location with the field of flowers.I loved being at the garden in Eric's place, but at times I get discouraged by the little creatures that kept crawling around.Today was our second day back in Vienna, and Eric had been nothing but nice. He would occasionally ask me if I was okay and if I was comfortable with staying here, and I would always answer back with an I love it here while adding a broad smile.Eric was a great cook, I could still remember the taste of the food he made us the first day we arrived.It was some kind of soup, although it looked like a ca
Eric's POV, Today was the third day after we left the Island, and I've been trying to dig in to find out what really happened to Keerah and how she actually came to be in that island with no memories at all.A few days ago, I found her pictures all over the internet as a missing persons photo, and I knew keeping her with me was a huge risk on my part, because if she's found with me then I would become the sole culprit.I found a news about her disappearance online, "Truth behind the Duke Walter's daughter's disappearance," the news read, so I clicked on it to be able to read the full news.I read it silently, for a while, and I didn't know if the news was from a reliable source or not, but what the person wrote in the article, was that Keerah had been in an accident just a few days before she was kidnapped by an unknown man from the hospital.Apparently, the man took out the guards by her door before taking her away and no one has seen her or the man ever since then.The news also re
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
