Thank you for reading.
“Why are you quick to agree when I haven't told you where I’m going?” Diego said as he tightened his hold around Yolanda. “What if I sell you? How can you trust me so blindly?” Yolanda chuckled. She pulled away from the hug and looked into Diego’s eyes, saying, “I know you wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. I'm safer with you.” “What about your job?” Diego asked. “Didn’t you recently sign a contract with Mrs Ford?” Yolanda sighed. She replied, “I can always postpone it and come back later-” “We might never return…” Diego claimed and Yolanda’s eyes widened to the size of saucers. “Did you get in trouble for rescuing me? Are we going to be on the run?” 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, “I had to get rid of those thugs to rescue the women and children. So, I'll always have enemies out to get me.” “Y-You killed them?” Yolanda’s 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. “What?” Heather gasped. A sharp pang of pain shot into her heart and tears stung her eyes. “Are you saying my husband is engaged to another woman? And that woman is Chen Wei?” She couldn’t believe it. Sure enough, she knew something was off when Henry didn’t give them all the information and insisted they travel instead. However, it didn’t occur to her that her husband who had lost his memories had somehow stumbled upon Chen Wei and they were even planning a wedding. “The 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,” Henry said. Roxanne rubbed Heather’s back and asked Henry, “What’s 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
“Hahaha!” Oliver laughed, looking at Adrian. He said while giggling, “Uncle Adrian, you're so funny. Of course, you’re baby Aria’s Daddy!” Oliver was a child and didn’t 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 Heather’s arms and his mouth dropped to the floor. He asked, “I-I’m the father?” 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,
"So, that's how we met. But... We didn't fall in love instantly. I probably crushed on you first," Heather chuckled at the memory. "I even made the first move." "I don't think so," Adrian replied. "I may not remember but I think I liked you first." They were seated in Heather's room as she told Adrian everything that he wanted to know about their relationship. Heather smiled. She said, "I was just kidding. We both liked each other and then fell deeper in love after spending more time with each other. It was love at first sight." Adrian returned her smile. He remarked, "I can't stop looking at you. You're so beautiful. I swear, I'm lucky you're my wife. I was so jealous last night when I saw you talking to another man." "I just stuck around because I was equally jealous and wanted to watch what you were doing. However, I suddenly felt dizzy and you know what happened next," Heather responded, recalling how she almost ended up spending a night with another man. "Yeah... Henry sai
Just when Heather thought she would get hit by the car coming in her direction, a gunshot went off and the car swerved, hitting the lamppost on the side of the road. She gasped, holding the left side of her chest as she tried to calm her racing heart down. A few men in black came out of nowhere and sought out the driver of the car. They were Henry Ford’s bodyguards who had been following them quietly. Suddenly, Heather was engulfed in a hug and lifted off the road by Adrian. He placed her down after crossing the road and held her shoulders before looking into her eyes. “I remember, Heather. God, I thought I would never see you and our daughter again,” he said and pulled Heather into a tight embrace. Heather’s heart skipped a beat at Adrian’s words. Her eyes widened as she asked, “You recovered your memories? You remember me now?” “Of course, Tigress. I remember… when I saw the car heading in your direction, I suddenly felt this fear that I would lose you and then, the memorie
Since Adrian was famous, it didn’t take long for his scandal to blow up. His fans especially played a huge role in sharing the news about his plane crash and how Chen Wei from the Royal group lied to him and tried to get married to him despite knowing he was married. When Adrian pressed charges for being drugged and attempted murder against Chen Wei, the internet was in an uproar again. Despite the positive response that led to the political influence of the Royal group to back off from the case, Adrian got some backlash from his anti-fans. They flooded social media with posts about theories of what they thought transpired between Adrian and Chen Wei. "So, y'all believe Adrian Carter had lost his memory and was manipulated into staying with another woman? Do you think this is a movie where the male lead gets amnesia? The dude probably just cheated and after he got caught, he pushed the blame on the poor woman. We know how it goes." "He married an ordinary woman and had a chan

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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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. “Are you impressed with your son and husband?” Heather’s voice snapped Roxanne out of her trance. “They look so cute… I swear, Henry is a great Dad and Oliver adores him,” 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
