Thank you for reading.
Adrian Carter was feeling confused. He didn't understand why he was naturally so cold to his fiancee and a part of him doubted if they used to be in love. Their chemistry was off and he often felt like a thousand ants were crawling up his skin whenever Chen Wei tried to touch him. However, she had shown him proof of them being together and a video of how he proposed to her in front of a lot of people. 'If I proposed to her, it means I loved her, right? But how come she creeps me out now?' Adrian questioned himself. Attributing his confusion to his memory loss, he felt guilty for treating Chen Wei coldly and avoiding her as though she was a disease. She had been good to him so far, the least he could do was be kind and treat her well. When he woke up, he wanted to apologise for the way he shoved her to the ground the previous night. But before he could do that, Chen Wei walked up to him with a request. She was smiling so gently that Adrian wondered if she wasn't hurt by what
Location: Unknown Time: 10:00 am Yolanda Nicholson had been in captivity for two days. During her time in the damp, dimly lit cellar, she experienced what it was like to live in hell. She was huddled in a corner, her hands bound tightly behind her back. The thugs who brought her in didnât give her any water or food and she had been kept awake for two days by being splashed cold water over her head every one hour. Still, she couldnât dare compare her condition to the women and children she found in the cellar. They all wore tattered clothes, the women looked like they had been violated and beaten by the thugs whilst the children looked starved. Every hour that passed, the thugs would pick five women and drag them out, never to return. After some time, five new faces were brought in to replace the ones they took. The cellar was cramped with about fifty to sixty people and there was no space to move or stretch one's body. All Yolanda could hear was a cry for help from the fre
Before Diego and Augusto could start off to save Yolanda, Augusto received news of a rival trying to take advantage of his absence to take over the Montero territory. He glanced at Diego regrettably and said, âIâm afraid I canât go with you on this mission. However, you should know brother that you have my support. When you save your woman, handle your affairs before coming back.â Augusto then commanded his men. He yelled, âAssist my brother with everything he needs. From now on, heâs your second in command.â âYes, boss!â The men shouted in unison. Augusto patted Diegoâs shoulder and warned, âWhatever you do, donât kill Enzo. He has a lot of allies. I donât want them hunting you down for revenge.â However, Diego merely scoffed and stated, âIâll do whatever it takes to make sure that prick never harms my woman again.â It took Diego two days to find Yolanda. This was because she wasnât being held in the place that Augusto said she was. It was as if they knew who Diego was and
âWhy are you quick to agree when I haven't told you where Iâm going?â Diego said as he tightened his hold around Yolanda. âWhat if I sell you? How can you trust me so blindly?â Yolanda chuckled. She pulled away from the hug and looked into Diegoâs eyes, saying, âI know you wouldnât do anything to hurt me. I'm safer with you.â âWhat about your job?â Diego asked. âDidnât you recently sign a contract with Mrs Ford?â Yolanda sighed. She replied, âI can always postpone it and come back later-â âWe might never returnâŠâ Diego claimed and Yolandaâs eyes widened to the size of saucers. âDid you get in trouble for rescuing me? Are we going to be on the run?â She asked, fear creeping into her. Diego sat on the bed and pulled Yolanda on his lap. He wrapped his arm around her waist and answered truthfully, âI had to get rid of those thugs to rescue the women and children. So, I'll always have enemies out to get me.â âY-You killed them?â Yolandaâs eyes almost popped out of their sockets
On the other side of the world, Roxanne and Heather had just checked into a hotel and met Henry Ford. From there, Henry told Heather the truth about her husband, Adrian Carter's condition. âWhat?â Heather gasped. A sharp pang of pain shot into her heart and tears stung her eyes. âAre you saying my husband is engaged to another woman? And that woman is Chen Wei?â She couldnât believe it. Sure enough, she knew something was off when Henry didnât give them all the information and insisted they travel instead. However, it didnât occur to her that her husband who had lost his memories had somehow stumbled upon Chen Wei and they were even planning a wedding. âThe engagement is fake⊠Adrian is not in his right mind. Chen Wei must have been there when he woke up so of course, he would believe whatever she says. She's taking advantage of his condition,â Henry said. Roxanne rubbed Heatherâs back and asked Henry, âWhatâs the plan? How are we going to make them meet since Chen Wei is follo
Chen Wei stood a few meters away from Adrian and Heather as she observed their interaction. Seeing how Adrian didn't seem to mind having Heather within proximity and how he let her touch his body, Chen Wei clenched her hands into fists, intense anger flaring through her. She scoffed, thinking, 'He can't remember us both but he can tolerate Heather's touch?' "Ma'am, what should I do with the drinks-" "Follow me," Chen Wei said to the waiter she had brought with her after her meeting and approached Adrian who was heading her way. She plastered the sweetest smile she could think of on her face and remarked, "Adrian, baby, there you are. I've been looking for you." From the corner of her eyes, Chen Wei could see Heather glancing at them. She asked Adrian who he was talking to and when he said it was no one important, Chen Wei secretly shot a smug look in Heather's direction. "Why don't you join me for a drink? I would like to toast to the new business deal I just sealed," Che
It was all Chen Wei's scheme. She had spiked Adrian's drink so that they could spend a steamy night together. At least if they slept together, he wouldn't reject her after recovering his memories. However, Heather would always be a stumbling block so Chen Wei wanted her out of the way. Thus, Chen Wei arranged for Heather to spend the night with someone else too. She hired a man and had him spike Heather's drink with an aphrodisiac. Later on, Chen Wei proceeded to Adrian's hotel room. The lights were turned off and they never went on when she tried to switch them on. She was about to leave the room to have the lights fixed when a hand grabbed her and pulled her to the bed. To Chen Wei, this was Adrian succumbing to the drugs so she willingly let him touch and make love to her in the dark. When morning came, Chen Wei opened her eyes and a satisfied smile curled her lips upwards. She turned and wrapped her leg around the man sleeping next to her, saying, "Last night was incredibl
âHahaha!â Oliver laughed, looking at Adrian. He said while giggling, âUncle Adrian, you're so funny. Of course, youâre baby Ariaâs Daddy!â Oliver was a child and didnât really know what was going on so he spoke with no filter. The adults left him like that so that he could help Adrian recall some things. Adrian was stunned. His eyes rounded at the baby in Heatherâs arms and his mouth dropped to the floor. He asked, âI-Iâm the father?â Heather nodded and replied, "Yes. This is our daughter, Aria Carter." Adrian's heart skipped a beat. He took a few steps forward and glanced at the little baby. A sense of familiarity washed over him. His heart swelled with warmth at the sight of the baby. However, he still couldn't recall the memories he had when his daughter was born. Suddenly, a tear rolled down his cheek and he felt his chest constrict in pain. He searched through his brain, desperately trying to remember but his head ached instead. He groaned and rubbed his temples, saying,

Three years later... Henry Ford woke up very early. It was the month of love and a few days before Valentine's Day. As usual, he wanted to do something special for his wife as he asked her to be his Valentine. They had been married for ten years and he always asked her days before the actual day in a special and romantic way. Since this was about them, he wanted to do everything himself. He filled up some red balloons with air and scattered them around the sitting area downstairs and the dining area. After getting busy in the kitchen, he whipped up some breakfast for Roxanne- heart-shaped pancakes drizzled with syrup and strawberries covered in chocolate. He had seen this recipe from a trending video on t-i-k-t-o-k and thought his wife would love it. He then got the roses he had got for her and put them in a glass vase before placing them on the dining table. When Roxanne woke up and looked for her husband, she woke up to the transformed living room and dining room. She
Five years later⊠It was a Saturday and the Fords were hosting a family braai for their son, Oliver Ford, to celebrate his new age. Roxanne sighed as she glanced at Oliver who was helping his father, Henry Ford. They stood by the barbeque grill stand, flipping meat, sausages and chicken kebabs. Oliver didnât want a huge party on his fifteenth birthday⊠he just wanted to spend time with family. However, Roxanne had invited Claire Hamilton and his other friends, Liam Kent and Jake Norton. They had all grown and were now teenagers. Running around playing tag like the younger kids didnât interest them at all. Claire and the two boys sat at one of the tables. While Claire was taking pictures of Oliver, his friends were busy playing games on their phones. âAre you impressed with your son and husband?â Heatherâs voice snapped Roxanne out of her trance. âThey look so cute⊠I swear, Henry is a great Dad and Oliver adores him,â Roxanne replied, glancing at her husband dreamily as he
Diego and Henry rushed to the mansion in less than twenty minutes as if there was an emergency. Henry looked for his wife when he entered the mansion, yelling, "Roxy? Baby, where are you? Let's go to the hospital!" At the same time, Diego followed after him and called for Yolanda, "Princess, let's go to the hospital. The earlier the better!" They both paused when they found their women in the living area laughing and chatting with Larry Ford and Kenneth Smith. Henry furrowed his eyebrows. He remarked, "I thought you said you're not feeling well. You look fine to me..." Larry Ford glared at his grandson. He scolded him, "Son, if your wife says she's not feeling well, then find out what could be wrong with her first before concluding. Should I teach you everything?" Henry scratched the side of his neck. He tried his best to be a good husband but there were times like this when he had faults. Being human, he was bound to make mistakes or maybe say something wrong. He wasn't perfe
Two months had passed since Yolanda and Diego got married. Although they were happy, Diego had noticed that his wife missed her job. Yolanda was an independent woman who loved working for her own money... Of course, Diego provided for her but he could see that she wasn't used to staying home and shopping only. It would even affect her mood sometimes. Diego thought about a way to have his wife get back to her job. Quite alright, it would be dangerous for her to be in the spotlight with all their rivals targeting them but that was why he was around, right? It was his job to protect Yolanda and ensure her life didn't change just because she fell in love with him. So, before he could bring it up to her, he met with his brother and requested to move back to Brentwood City. Augusto glanced at Diego after he made his request, his brows furrowing as he asked, "What is it? Is this place not up to her standards?" "No... it's not that. I just want her to be happy and if doing her job mak
Yolanda's heart was galloping like a racing horse. Diego's promise echoed in her mind, making her look forward to what he would do to her. She tilted her head up, asking for a kiss and Diego didn't disappoint. He connected his lips to hers and kissed her hard. They began to move towards the bed and Yolanda fumbled with Diego's buttons as she tried to undress him. Meanwhile, Diego was busy deepening the kiss with every second that passed. He grabbed the back of her head while the other hand reached between them and he stroked her core, rubbing her clit with every movement of his fingers. Yolanda moaned against his lips. She failed to get rid of Diego's suit and instead, wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped on him, coiling her legs around his ripped torso. In that position, Diego held Yolanda's ass and began grinding his massive erect shaft into her bare core... Despite it being hidden by the branded pants he had on, Yolanda could still feel the tip of his rod, digging at he
Diego carried Yolanda into the cabin. Yolanda's eyes grew wide as she looked around. If she thought the outer form of the cabin was dreamlike, the inside was like paradise itself. The wooden cabin wasn't big. It was like one big room with a small kitchen in the corner, a huge bed in the center, a bubbling hot tub on the left near one of the windows and a bathroom on the right side. The bathroom area had an enclosure for privacy. Not only did they have several acres of land to themselves, but they were surrounded by maple trees with fiery red leaves which could be seen through the huge windows. The whole place was giving "leave the world behind vibes". It offered a perfect blend of romance, peace and refreshment for the newly married couple. "Are we still in our family's estate?" Yolanda asked and Diego smiled. He loved especially the way she used the word 'our' in her question. Sliding an arm around Yolanda's waist, Diego pulled her closer and then put her at his front bef
Diego Montero realised something. He loved Yolanda with his all. Whether he waited weeks or months to propose, she would still be the woman he would want to spend the rest of his life with. Yes, they didn't know what tomorrow may bring. But who ever knows? Everyone jumps in without knowing the obstacles they will face in the future. If there's anything he learnt from his former boss, Henry Ford. It's that as long as you had your loved one by your side, any other problem felt like a passing breeze. After talking to his brother, Diego asked the housekeepers to help out with the proposal. Of course, the housekeeper who had helped Dahlia was fired. In the Mafia, loyalty was everything. Diego instructed the bodyguards to control the drones he had shipped over earlier before they travelled. Augusto helped too. He stood downstairs near the drones, waiting for midnight so that they could control the drones to help Diego propose. Yolanda woke up and they had dinner outside on the balc
Diego didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Dahlia and asked, "Why did you come back? If you had stayed hidden, at least I would have had good memories of you... but now... you disgust me." "D-Diego... that's not true. Your brother forced himself on me. That's why I faked my death. I was so ashamed-" "Shut up! Aren't you tired of scheming? Do you think I can believe you over my brother? My brother came from the same womb as I... we may fight and not speak to each other for years, but I know he would never do anything to hurt me," Diego's words sliced through the air like shards of ice, cutting Dahlia's words in the middle. "That's not true... why did you leave? It's because you hated your family!" Dahlia answered confidently. She wasn't convinced that Diego had moved on. He loved her very much and could do anything for her... how could his love for her end so quickly? Diego shook his head. He replied, "I left because I was hurt that they didn't want to avenge yo
