Kylie's POVI struggled to open my eyes. I wanted to stand up, but I couldn't; there were so many wires and things attached to my body.My hands were weak, but I managed to move them, and some people in the room noticed.“Miss just opened her eyes. Call sir and the doctor,” one of the hefty men around me said, and the other one ran out of the room.What was this? Why was I in the hospital? What was going on? Soon, a doctor and some nurses came inside the room, and they did some checkups before removing all the wires on me.“Kylie,” Mika jumped on me and engulfed me in a tight hug.I looked around the room but someone was missing, who was that? “Where is Ryan? Why isn't my husband here?” The name felt weird coming from my mouth.“Huh?” Mika looked at me with surprise, “Ryan?”My eyes fell on a young man looking at me emotionally, I watched in confusion as tears rolled down his eyes, “Why is she asking about Ryan?” the young man asked.“Mom, please call the doctor,” Mika asked Mom and s
Kylie's POV“I will show you to your room,” Mrs Scarlett said with the brightest smile on his face and I followed behind her.I left the choice in mom's hand and she chose Mr Zephyr's house for reasons that are best known to her.I entered the room; it was beautiful, it was purple, but there was one odd thing, the room had my pictures, from when I was small till I was grown up.“Why didn't you take the pictures down?” Mika asked furiously. Who were these people? How were they related to us?“How do you have these pictures?” I didn't even remember having childhood pictures growing up.“Baby,” Mother held my hand with a smile on her face, “This was our house before we moved to our other house, so make yourself comfortable.”I looked at Mother, then Mika, “Sure, I will,” I looked around; someone was missing, “I haven't seen Charmaine since I woke up.”“You remember Charmaine?” Mika asked excitedly.“She is my daughter, why wouldn't I?” That was a dumb question. Even if I forget the whol
Jaylen's POVKylie losing her memories, Kylie forgetting me but remembering her husband she hates wasn't on my bingo card.In all of these, I found it weird that when Rex arrived at the hospital, Kylie had a panic attack and became scared of him, something must have gone down between them.“Sir, the little one is hungry,” Sam informed me. Mika had asked me to take care of Kylie's daughter for a few days and she has been here for three days now.“I will prepare something for her,” Rex smiled; I nodded my head, and he excused himself.“Sam, get me Rex's call history and if you find anyone suspicious, get the call record from the telecommunication company, do what you must to get it, even if you have to wipe everyone out, do it and I will take responsibility,” I didn't mean to suspect Rex but I was and I just needed to clear it.“Yes, sir,” Sam excused himself.I found it weird that Rex was still loyal and by my side despite knowing I was responsible for his sister's death. It didn't sit
Kylie's POVFor the past few days, I have tried everything to remember my past, but I couldn't remember anything.I couldn't move on from Mika and Anna's argument. Was I really a killer? Who did I kill? I hadn't been allowed access to any device or even the news.I had people following me up and down, and it was pretty exhausting; even in this shopping mall, they were wheeling the cart, and I was putting the item inside the cart.“Sorry,” A man bumped into me on purpose.“Mr Vegas, can you please step away from Miss Kylie,” One of the bodyguards said politely. I think they knew him.“Don't be like that,” Vegas smiled as he wrapped his hand around my waist.I tried to pull away, what level of disrespect is that? “Get your hands off me,” I gritted.“That's a rude thing to say to your ex-lover,” Vegas removed his hand from my back, “Anyway, see you around,” he winked and walked away.What…..what… does he mean by lover? Did I cheat on Ryan? That's impossible, I would never do that to Ryan
Kylie's POV“Thank goodness,” Vegas let out a breath of relief as I sat up on the bed.I looked at him and the gun was still in his hand, “Are you planning on using that on me?” I nodded my head towards the gun with him.Vegas hurriedly dropped the gun inside the bedroom drawer, “No, no, I would never,” he shook his head.I didn't feel happy to see him, “Please can I have your phone.”Vegas brought out his phone from his pocket and handed it to me. I took it and searched for my name on all platforms. I needed to know what was going on, but surprisingly, there was nothing; my name and my pictures were no longer on the internet.“Vegas, what happened?” I showed him what I had searched on his phone.I cleared my throat when he didn't give me an explanation, “Mr Zephyr took care of it; I have one question: is he really your Father?” Vegas was waiting for me to answer, and all of a sudden, his eyes widened, “You have regained your memories, that's good, now who caused the accident?”“I wil
Jaylen's POVI had decided to make Rex pay for his crimes legally. I removed all the bugs from the house and broke them in everyone's presence. I had secretly installed cameras in the house to know Rex's movement, and the only people aware of the camera were Sam, Anna, and I.I hadn't seen Kylie for the past few days but her sister Mika has been coming in and out of here because of Charmaine. Charmaine had gotten fond of me and she always came to my house whenever she got the chance.“What do you want us to do today?” I asked as I wore my shirt. Charmaine was sitting on my bed playing with my phone.“Let's go to the mall and shop from my siblings in Mom's tummy,” A smile appeared on my face.“Sure, let's do that,” I picked up my perfume and sprayed them. I was careful enough not to spray the harsh ones because Charmaine was here.“We are matching,” Charmaine pointed out our outfit and I nodded my head. I didn't even know that we were both wearing a beige top a, royal blue trouser, and
Kylie's POV“Miss Kylie,” I looked up to see Sam, what was he doing here? My eyes scan around his body for any bullet wound, “Did ... .did…Jaylen send you to do this?”“No, no, Don Jaylen would never kill his brother,” Sam said, “Let's take him to the hospital.”What was I thinking by suspecting Jaylen?Sam placed his hand on Vegas' neck then he looked at me and redrew his hand, “What's the problem?”“Hmm… we can't go to the hospital; we have to take him to the morgue,” Sam lowered his gaze, and I cried out.“No, no, Vegas was just fine, do something, he was doing fine, I promise,” I cried out. Sam removed my hand from Vegas' chest. He carried Vegas to the car, and I followed behind him.When Sam was driving, I brought out Vegas' phone and called his mother.She picked at the first ring, “Ma, it's Kylie,” I was trying to talk when I started crying again.“Where is my son? Why are you with his phone? Put Vegas on the phone right now,” From the way she spoke, I think she could feel so
Kylie's POV“Rex, please, please drop the gun,” Jaylen pleaded, “She is pregnant.”“That, that's exactly the reason why I hate her so much,” Rex pointed the gun at my tummy, “Thaila was also pregnant with your child when she killed her.”“Rex, whatever you told me that day was wrong, very wrong, Thaila and Jaylen had an argument, he strangled her but she was still alive when he left, she was with me when she died,Thaila and I had an argument, and that was when I hit her with a vase; she wanted to kill me, and in self-defense, I stabbed her; Jaylen and Asher came in, but they didn't do anything.”“That bastard Asher messed up the scene, he destroyed evidence for you!!” Rex yelled, I was a bit scared for my life.“Don't you dare speak my brother's name!!” Anna warned.“Or what?” Rex smirks, “Asher, I wonder how he is rotting away in hell.”I need to end this situation now, “Rex,” to our surprise, Jaylen went down on his knees, “It's my fault, I'm sorry, please let my family out of this
Do you, Selena Lee take Jaylen Noire Adryan as your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asked with a smile on his face.It's been a year since the court hearing, Kylie had gotten custody of her children, and Jaylen went for therapy.“Yes, I do,” Kylie said with a smile on her face.“You may kiss your Bride,” The priest said and Jaylen wasted no time in claiming Kylie's lips. Everyone clapped with a smile on their faces.After losing custody, Raya decided to go on a long vacation so she could feel Vegas' presence around her.“Everybody to the reception hall!!!” Sam yelled over the microphone.“First, let's go pay a visit to Kylie and Vegas,” Jaylen suggested. While the guests were moving to the reception hall, Jaylen, family, and friends moved to pay their respects to the memorial Jaylen had built for Kylie and Vegas.Everyone began to drop flowers at the door and say one or two things, some began to cry.“Thank you for being alive,” Jaylen whispered into Kylie's ears with a smile on
Selena / Kylie's POVFather had chosen Jaylen as his business partner and I understood. Jaylen's company was an actual investment but I was practically working for his company.“There is a business plan back in New York I want you to handle,” Father said in the living room as he drank out of his morning coffee.“Father, I just returned,” I whined, “I just can't go back.”“Aurora,” Father called my birth name, “It's okay to let go sometimes; just go to the branch in New York by tomorrow morning.”“But…”Father waved me off, “Just do it; I don't want to see you hurt; he told you he won't divorce her; the world already knows you are dead, so please don't bring yourself out.”Here I was again, obeying Father's request, “Book the flight for tomorrow afternoon.” I understood Father; he did so much to make sure my name and face were off the criminal record, all social media platforms, newspapers, magazines, and so many more, and that's the only reason I'm agreeing to leave everything behind
Jaylen's POV “What's this?” I asked as Raya dropped a document on my desk. “Divorce paper and 50% custody of our kids,” Raya said and I laughed out in amusement. “Are you sober now?” I opened the paper and read through it, “A divorce and a custody of my kids? Hell no, that's never going to work.” “I will inform the press of my extra marital affair,” Raya threatened. “I'm lost here, I'm supposed to be the one using it to threaten you and not the other way around,” I laughed. “Why?” Raya sat on the chair opposite me and crossed her legs, “I would tell the press I had an affair three years out of our ten years of marriage because you neglected me and were still in love with your ex-girlfriend. I will also show them the documents you made me sign; trust me, the headline would be crazy: Don Jaylen Noire Adryan maltreated his wife because of his late girlfriend; what do you think about it?” “What?” What was the mad woman up to? “I will also tell them how you pushed me down the stai
Selena/ Kylie's POVI had purposely arrived late to the dinner I had asked Mika to set; I arrived after they had eaten and had enough to drink; I had expected Raya and Jaylen to come but not Charmaine.“What is she doing here?” I mouthed to Mika and Mika shrugged her shoulders.“Mrs Selena, fancy seeing you here,” Raya greeted with a smile on her slightly red face. I could tell she was already tipsy.“Same here,” I hugged and kissed her on the cheek, “I don't see your husband anywhere,” I asked after looking around the living room.“He is in his ex-girlfriend's room,” She smiled sheepishly.Jaylen was in my room? What was he doing there?“Oh, that must hurt a lot?” I felt bad for her; I wouldn't want the man I was in love with to be in love with someone else.“Oh please, it doesn't hurt at all,” she giggled; she drew closer to me and whispered into my ears, “I don't actually give a fuck; he is just my husband on paper; we don't love each other.”I looked at her with amusement and led
Selena/Kylie's POV“Your drugs,” Mother Scarlett passed me my drugs and a glass of water. I took it from her hand and drank it.“All done,” Mother Rachael removed the IV from my hand, “Are you okay?” I nodded my head with a smile on my face, “Kylie, Charmaine is waiting for you in the living room.”When I was at Jaylen's house, I couldn't breathe, so I passed out, and I was brought to Mr Zephyr's house.“I will go meet her downstairs,” I stood up and went down to the living room.Charmaine was sitting down and was doing something on her phone. I smiled emotionally; I have always wanted to hug my daughter, and I have always wanted to meet my daughter in these ten years.“Charmaine,” I called, she turned to me and dropped her phone on the chair.“Mom,” Charmaine stood up and hugged me tight, “Mom, I miss you, why didn't you call,” I felt her tears touch my skin.“Baby don't cry, mummy is here,” I pulled away from the hug and wiped her face.“I was scared, I was very scared when I didn'
Selena's POV“Did you really have to wear that dress?” Mika hissed as she took a glass of champagne from a waiter.“Why? It's a beautiful piece,” I smiled and took a glass from the waiter, “I didn't think you would come.”“Today is my niece and nephew's birthday, so I wouldn't miss it for the world,” Mika winked, “Your dress reveals your butterfly tattoo and the writing on your hand is obvious.”“Aunty Mika,” A young girl ran and hugged her.“My Charmaine,” Mika hugged her back, “You are a young woman, your mom would be so proud.”“Mother wouldn't be proud of some of her decisions, even dad and mom aren't proud of them,” A small girl hugged Mika.“What decisions did she make?” Mika asked while giggling.“Her boyfriend, oh I hate that man,” a young boy said dramatically.“Aurora and Zayn, slow down; we will talk about it later after your birthday,” Mika hugged the two of them tightly.“Sadly, we won't have enough time; Mom planned a respect party for mother Kylie,” The little girl, Aur
Selena's POV“Ma’am, what do you plan on doing for your husband's death anniversary?” My secretary, Nina, asked while looking at the tablet in her hand, and I sat up on the bed.“Mr and Mrs Noire Adryan has invited you to the birthday celebration of their children,” Andre, my bodyguard said, he passed me a glass of water and my medicine.Ever since my accident, I have been on depression and anxiety drugs and injections. My accident affected my life; It left me unable to walk for two years, and my life was halted for two years. Those are the two years of my life I wanted to forget badly but as long as I'm back in this country and especially this town, those memories will stay with me.“We will be hosting my husband's anniversary tomorrow, but for now, let's attend the birthday of Mr. and Mrs. Noire Adryan's children,” I drank the medicine, gave him the cup, and stood up from my bed to get ready.“Ma’am, the apartment you wanted, Mrs Raya Adryan has put it up for sale,” Nina handed me
Jaylen's POVTen years later“Dad, my boyfriend will be dropping by later,” Charmaine gave me a kiss on the cheek, “Do you want me to get anything when coming back?”Charmaine is all grown up, she wasn't the eight years old child I met ten years ago, she was now eighteen.“No, I'm fine, you don't have to wait up late, I would be back late from work,” I kissed Charmaine's head, “Are you dropping your siblings off at school or I should tell the driver to.”“I will drop them off at school,” Raya offered with a smile on her face.“You don't have to, I'm free and I will do it,” Charmaine forced a smile on her face.“I want to go with Mummy, I don't like your boyfriend's car,” My son Zayn said while eating from his bowl of cereal.“I want to go with Mummy, I don't like your boyfriend's shirt,” My daughter Aurora pretended to gag.Zayn and Aurora were twins, but they were opposite, they didn't like stress, and they loved Raya so much. But Raya on the other hand tells them a lot of stories ab
Kylie's POVI opened my eyes when I felt cold water being poured on me. I tried to move, but I couldn't, I was tied to a chair, and my mouth was tapped.“Finally, you are awake; I thought you died or something,” Rex dragged a chair from the far end of the empty building to my front, and he sat on the chair.It was an uncompleted building, it looked like it had been abandoned for years and we were on the last floor of a sixteen story building.“You are always yapping, why aren't you yapping today?” Rex furrowed his eyebrows then burst into laughter, “Oh, I forgot your mouth is gagged.”“I will remove the tape from your mouth when I'm done talking with your husband,” Rex put my phone near my face and it opened, “What did you save his number with?”He waited for me to answer, this lunatic, how could I answer when my mouth was tied and when I didn't answer he said, “Nevermind, I will just dial it,” he dialed the number and burst into laughter, “You saved it as your husband? You both aren'
