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's POVWe went back inside, and I sat in one of the chairs at his dining table while I watched him set the tables. Even though Eric had been busy all this while, he still made sure I ate a full course meal and a delicious one at that.Just when I was about to start eating, the doorbell rang, and we both turned to look at the door at the same time...I noticed Eric's expression darkened, and that made me wonder who was at the door...Eric then turned back to look at me before asking me to go upstairs.He asked me to go with my breakfast. I wanted to ask him who was that and why he was asking me to go up the stairs, but I remembered the conversation we just had outside, and I realised he probably didn't want anyone to see me here.So I picked up my remaining sandwich and my mug with hot chocolate before heading up to the room I was staying.I was tempted to go peep to see who was here as the only other person I've seen after Eric, ever since I got out of the island was Drew, but t
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 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
