Keera's POVWe sat under the tree with Eric in silence after I told him about not wanting to leave the island.Neither of us said a word for a while, my mind was filled with a lot of possibilities of what could happen when I returned...And for a moment I just wanted to stay here on this island and never return.I wanted to ask Eric about my family but refrained from asking because am not sure what I even wanna know about them...All these were going through my head and I didn't know when I fell asleep...The next thing I know was I woke up with my head leaned on Eric's shoulders.I don't know if I did while I was asleep or if Eric was the one who tilted my head to rest on his shoulders...This position is not as comfortable as you'd think, on the contrary, it's horrible now my neck feels like it's carried tons of heavy boxes...I raised my head and looked at Eric, his eyes were closed and I thought maybe he was asleep so I tried to get up cautiously so I don't wake him up but then he
Keera's POVEric and I went back to the cave after catching some bird that looked like a hawk but I don't know if it's really a hawk.When we entered into the cave, Eric kept our game on the ground and started to make fire. He had already removed the unwanted part at the site of the hunt so all that's left to do was roast it.I watched with keen interest as he made the fire and roasted our dinner like a professional, which made me wonder how long he'd been here for.We were both quiet, none of us made any attempt to say anything, Eric only concentrated on making our dinner ready, while I just watched him silently.After a while, Eric brought down the meat and cut it before handing me a piece, and we both ate it in another wave of silence.After we finished our dinner, Eric stood up and asked if I wanted to come outside with him, I then got up and followed him.We went outside and sat down beside the lake, we sat not too far from each other. I raised my head and looked up at the night
Eric's POVwhen I woke up this morning keera was no longer on the bed I thought she had left the cave but later heard the sounds of splashing water from the hot tub.I usually don't sleep in but I did today maybe because I slept late last night. I couldn't fall asleep after what happened.when Keera left after we kissed, all realization dawned on me. like what the fuck was I thinking when I kissed her, I know I'm not in love with her and I probably would never be so why did I do that? I asked myself a thousand times while pulling on my hair.I don't want to hurt her she deserves someone better than me someone with fewer issues and someone who can love her with the whole of his heart and not just part.I know I was attracted to her that I'll admit to, but love is on a whole different level which would be hard to attain because it drove me here...I know I still love jade even with everything that happened, and part of me knows no matter what I will still love her, and that kills me eac
Keera's POVWhen Eric apologized for the kiss last night, I immediately felt flustered, I couldn't even imagine how my face looked with the way my blood drained completely from it. I was so dumbfounded that I couldn't even find any words to say to him, so I just fled angrily and went to the only place that came to mind and I wanted to be was on top of the hill...I believed climbing up that hill would help me calm down a little bit, but it didn't, if anything it made me more furious than I had already been, I kept on planning ways to murder Eric in my head and live alone here or die of boredom.I was still unable to come up with a valid plan, and before I knew it I was at the top of the hill. Even amid all my furiousness, I couldn't help but notice how dried the hilltop was something I had failed to notice the first time I came up here with Eric...Which made me confused as to why the top of the hill was dried if the waterfall was right beneath it.I could hear the sound of the gushin
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 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
