Anderson glanced at the time, his level of patience searing as he brought his gaze to his phone which had just beeped silently again.

"Are you okay, Mr. Riecke?"

"What?" He jolted, staring up at the projector.

"You looked lost for a moment," Liliya, a representative from a business organization in Ukraine, revealed.

"Oh, I-I'm fine," Anderson pulled on a slight smile, adjusting in his seat. For a moment, he had forgotten he was in a web conference. He exchanged glances with his father and got a blank stare in return.

Anderson thought of mumbling an apology but he pushed it aside and faced the projector again.

His phone beeped, a text from Horatio.

*You told me you could do it*

Anderson wet his lips before texting a reply, *I lied. I'm sorry*

"You can go on now, Mr. Riecke," his assistant diverted his attention.

"Right," Anderson cleared his throat, reaching for his file.

"I'll take it from here. Anderson has somewhere urgent to be, I hope you all don't

    ***"Localized dissociative amnesia?" Anderson repeated. "Yes, something like that. From the CT scan and the few examinations we did on her, we discovered that she never suffered anything like it in the past, but she had some emotional traumas that possibly triggered the condition, coupled with the accident. Currently, she cannot remember the event around these traumas and will act as though they never happened. Like she did before these activities took place." "A memory loss?" Xavier asked."Exactly. It might take a while for her to regain these memories, days, months or even years, it depends on the amount of treatment she gets and how serious her condition is." Anderson nodded, now realizing why she addressed him in that manner. She forgot they were divorced. "What about the baby? Will she not remember it too?""Yes, possibly. She will once she starts to get her memory back. For now, you all shouldn't make her feel weird or act like she's passing through a memory loss. Whatever

    Anderson felt beside him with his hand but touched the silky sheets instead. His eyes went open and he realized Katherine wasn't beside him anymore. After taking her meds, she had insisted they slept together and he had no idea how she slipped off without him being triggered to wake up. He sat up and saw her standing in front of the dressing table, staring at her reflection in the mirror. He climbed off the bed and walked to meet her, she didn't notice him until he got to her and he discovered she was staring at her stomach. Her hands were running around it and he noticed an emotion resting in her eyes even though he couldn't tell exactly what it was."Hey," he whispered, hugging her from behind. She giggled, the look in her eyes disappearing. "You're awake." "How long have you been up?" "Just now," she smiled. "What are you doing?" "I'm not sure, just.. just looking at myself. I see changes, and it feels like a part of me disappeared," she rubbed her stomach again and giggled,

    ***Katherine walked out of the bathroom to find Anderson almost dressed up for work and knotting his tie in front of the dressing mirror. "Ready to go?" She asked, taking the towel off her hair and swaying it. "Almost. I was hoping you'd leave before I do." "I was busy in the bathroom," she reached for a kiss and he planted a peck on her lips, pulling away before he got overwhelmed. "Should I pick you up at your parents'? I don't plan on staying long at work." "I don't think so, I'll be meeting Hope later on," Katherine revealed. "You remember Hope, right? We were high school and college buddies." "I do, I met her already. When we first met, at that bar, she was with you. I recall meeting her there first before we even started dating." "You remember!" Katherine appeared amused. "That's so sweet. I love you.""I love you too," he snuck his arms around her waist and pulled her close as he kissed her. Katherine pushed her fingers into his styled hair, going to deepen the kiss whe

    *** Katherine walked out of Yvonne's room, leaning on the door for a moment as she reminisced on her words. Even though Yvonne kept assuring her, Katherine knew she wasn't lying to her. She lowered her gaze to the floor; although Yvonne didn't say more, Katherine couldn't help but wonder what must have led to her and Anderson getting a divorce. She was unconscious for just two months. Just how many memories did she lose? "Katy?" She jerked slightly before turning, "Oh, it's you." "Yeah. You good?" Hope questioned, studying her with her gaze. "Sure," she pulled on a grin. She sprinted towards her and grasped her in a hug, her confusion dying for a moment. "Let's go seat, there's so much to talk about!" _"What does he want?" Anderson spoke into the phone, withdrawing his gaze from his monitor for a moment. "I have no idea, sir," Shania's voice answered. With a sigh, he uttered his permission. "Let him in." Plastering his gaze back on his laptop, Anderson moved his legs as

    ***"Can we stay just tomorrow in the Bahamas, Hope is leaving and I want to be there with her at the airport on the day she leaves," Katherine said. "Or if it's too much trouble, we can just postpone the trip. Can we do that?" Anderson nodded, "I'd have preferred a postponement but the arrangements can't be left lying there or closed up as it's a one-time setup, they'll have to be destroyed and it'll be a whole new process restarting it for the vacation. But if you want, I can have them do that.""No, it's okay. Let's go for a day. Thanks," she looked up from his chest, sighing. "Now, I see why you've been sighing all day.""She's been around for the two months that I was unconscious and I missed all the time we could have spent together. I haven't seen her in forever and when I do, she's leaving." "You know you can go visit her wherever she is if you want, right? Anton is always ready to fly you out if you wish.""You'll let me use the helicopter?" She pushed her head up. "Anyti

    ***"I feel something!" Katherine exclaimed, adjusting in her seat. Anderson quickly stood up to her and they pulled the fishing line out of the water. Her excitement seared when she found the hook empty but the bait was gone. "These creatures are smart. It managed to eat the worm without getting hooked," her smile returned. Anderson sighed before returning to seat next to her. It was midday so the sun was less intense and they were seated under it, warming their bodies up. "I'm sure we'll get something before nightfall." "I don't want to stay here until nightfall," Katherine refused. "I'm not particularly interested in catching any fish. I just love the sight and it keeps my mind from thinking." "Does it disturb you?" "A bit." "What kind of thoughts?" She shrugged, "The memories I lost. I wonder if they're really important and something that would have changed what today is like for me." Anderson lowered his gaze, "you don't like how today is? Is there something I did wrong

    ***"Can we go home now?" Katherine asked Anderson, meeting him at the exit of the airport. Even though she couldn't understand why she felt that way, she knew she didn't like it. "Sure," he placed an arm across her shoulders. While she sat in the car, he went to say goodbye to his friends and Katherine watched from the window. When her gaze landed on James, she felt a cold shiver run down her spine. She pushed her gaze ahead, sighing and rubbing her temple. Why was she receiving comfort from James and why did she feel that way? Does it have something to do with the divorce? Could Anderson have fallen out of love with her and she resorted to James' comfort? But why James? She heard the car door open and she turned to find Anderson getting into the car seat beside her. The ride started and she once again got lost in thought, unaware of Anderson's peering gaze on her. He scooted close to her and placed his palm on her fiddling fingers, "how about we go to Hope's for our next va

    ***Katherine stared at her phone when she heard it beep, *I'm sorry I can't pick you up right now, honey. The meeting is going on longer than I assumed. Will you give me some minutes more?* *Oh don't worry about it, just send Tony. I'll wait for you at the restaurant.* she texted him back. There was no response and Katherine knew it was time to return to work. He must have taken a few seconds' break to send her the text. *This is Tony, I'll be there right away.* a response from Tony came. "Here you go," Katherine looked away from the phone and collected the coffee from Patty. "Thank you." "I bet you'll be leaving soon," she asked, going to sit opposite her. "Oh yes, just waiting for the car," Katherine replied, taking a sip from the warm liquid. "You said the constant headache was normal, does it mean I'll be getting it frequently?" "Not really, but when you get a memory it might come with some pain. That is normal." Katherine sighed, lowering the cup. Her phone beeped, it

    "When did you arrive?" Jude asked after handing her a cup of coffee. "Two hours ago. Would have arrived earlier but there was a little trouble with the flight." "I hope it was nothing serious. You're okay, right?" "Oh, not at all. And I'm fine," Hope smiled. Jude lowered his gaze to the ground like there was something interesting there and an awkward silence fell between them. "How have you been?" Hope broke the silence. He started with a slow repetitive nod, "Good. Really good. You?" "Same," Hope nodded. "I was driving to Dad Xavier's to pick up Katy's kids, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi since I was close. You'll be at the party, right?" "Yeah, I'm all dressed up for it." "Oh good," Hope breathed out, wrapping her palms around the mug. As much as she didn't like how silent they were, she expected it. It's been seven years and she suddenly appears in front of him without a word. She had hoped to ask him to accompany her to Xavier's or probably expected him to su

It's not like you attended the previous ones. How long do you plan to distance yourself? They're your niece and nephew!" "Do you have to keep calling me every year for the same thing? I have work to do, if I slack Anderson wouldn't take it lightly. You know how he is. I can't stand him," Renard fused. "Even Marcus will be there, you think you're the only one who has work to do? Besides we both know Anderson wouldn't trouble for missing one day." Renard grumbled, taking the gift off his thigh. "If I go this once, will you stop calling me concerning it?" "I'll give you a break for the next two years." "Four," he bargained. "Three years. I can't believe we're bargaining this! It's not even supposed to be this serious." "You're making it serious, Mom.

    ***"Careful," Anderson cautioned, his palms resting on her bare baby bump. They both giggled as she successfully sat on him, her weight falling on him. She touched his chest to support her balance, and Anderson quickly adjusted to the weight. Katherine began moving her waist in circular motion and riding him slowly. Amidst the waves of pleasure, Anderson's eyes remained plastered on her, fearing that she might fall and ready to grasp her if she did. "Do you really have to do this?" He asked, guiding his hands to her waist. "Yes," she answered. "Relax and enjoy. I'm fine," she said, leaning slowly to kiss his chest. Anderson threw his head back, the pleasure slowly grasping him more than he could control. "About Marcus-Anderson sighed, "is that what this is about?" "No," Katherine denied, moving her hands to his chest and teasing his nipples with her fingers. "Fuck Katy, this is so goddamn good," he groaned and she smiled, loving how she gained control of him in a short space

    ***"200 meters is just perfect, if there are any changes I'll let you know beforehand," the client stood up."Please do, sir," Leila stood up with him. "Until then, we'll have the garden ready for you and yours " He smiled, "Perfect. If you're available, please attend." With that, he slipped an invitation card into her hand. "Oh," Leila hesitated, "I'll see what I can do." After a handshake, Leila picked up her stuff and walked out. In her car, which she managed to get back with her earning, Leila made a happy dance. She was elated and above all, she was glad she was finally doing something that would make her boss pleased with her again. After losing a rental deal a week back, Leila had tried to make up for it. She noticed Jude's unwillingness when she asked to be in charge of this project, but he eventually handed it to her. Amongst the twelve clients, ten were willing to patronize them, one was going to think about it and the last person already booked elsewhere. Leila coul

    ***Jude didn't miss the discontented look on Bianca's face when he walked in with Leila. "Hey," she forced a smile, "I didn't know you were bringing someone with you. We didn't discuss that." "She's my secretary and will be in charge of the meeting. She'll answer all of your questions and explain to you what to expect if your father's corporation partners with us." "Oh secretary," Bianca emphasized, relaxing. "I don't mind." "Where's your father, I expected to see him here with you." "Oh he's not coming," she winked. "He wants me to talk to you first and if I like what you're proposing, we automatically have a deal. So it's all in my hands now." "Okay," Jude shrugged, "so let me start with-"Hold on," Bianca's leaned over the table to touch him. Jude jerked away from her hold, glaring at her, "Why don't we eat first? It's a dinner date remember." "Not a date," he reminded. "Right," she chuckled softly. "Over here, waiter." A waiter approached their table at once, "What are y

    ***"Leila-" The door went open and she quickly turned away, wiping the tears from her eyes while trying to gain composure of herself. Jude's brow narrowed as he opened the door wider and walked in, his gaze first landed on the skinny tall man in his secretary's office and then on Leila whose back was at him. "I need you to make me some coffee," he said. "I'll be there, sir. Please give me a second," she answered, trying her best to give a straight response despite the sound of her voice. "Who is he?" Jude asked, staring at the unknown man that wore a frown. He didn't plan on interfering but the atmosphere in the room was something he didn't want any of his guests to meet. "H-he-" Leila stuttered. "I'm her husband," the skinny man replied, darting a cold stare at Jude, "you must be the boss." "Alex, please leave.." Leila tried to interfere. "What? I can't meet your boss? You said you were scared, should I tell him on your behalf then?" "No, get out!" Leila snapped, her voice

    ***Jude walked into his office, he turned around only to find Leila stirring his coffee as she spoke on the phone. Her body was in a different direction but her hand didn't stop moving the spoon in a circular motion. She was carried away and seemed to be pissed with whoever she was talking to on the phone. Jude noticed this and paused, watching her multitask. It was her first day without Ria's assistance and she was already giving him an idea of how berserking she could be. "I told you I'm fine, I don't need your money. Please stop calling me, you could get in trouble," She hassled. "Stop talking to me, I don't want any more problems between you guys." "Please don't say another word to me, Mom. You know I'll never agree to it. I can't move back in, don't you understand?...The other words strolled off his hearing. Mom? She was arguing with her mother? Jude squinted his brows. "I'm hanging up, please don't call me again. I'm fine and I don't need your help. I'm not worth losing yo

    ***"Sir?" Jude looked up from his computer to find Ria, his secretary walking in. "I brought the monthly accounts for the three hotels in Northridge. I already reworked them and piled in the conclusion. Please check and tell me if there's a problem." Jude took the papers from her and went through each page briefly. Knowing her capabilities, it didn't take him a lot of time before he started nodding in satisfaction. She had worked for him for four years and had proven countless times to be competent. Left to him, he wished he could make her stay. "What do you think? Is it good, sir?" She asked when he dropped the file. "Yeah. All good." "Really?" He shot her a stare, "is there a problem?" "Not really but the intern actually worked that out. It wasn't my doing." "Intern?" He looked lost for a minute before it hit him, "Leila?" "Yes sir. I gave them to her two days ago and made my workings too just in case, but checking them I realized she did quite a good job with the balanc

    ***"Oh hey, there Rey-" he grabbed her wrist before she could finish talking and led her out of the hall, scowling. His grip was too strong for her resistance and soon she relaxed and focused on catching up with his long step in her six inches heels. "What the hell," she breathed out when he finally stopped and released her, pushing her ahead of him roughly. "What the hell is right. Now, what the hell are you doing here?" He growled at her. She huffed, crossing her arms. "To see you obviously, who else do I know in this stinking rich organization." Renard grimaced, "I don't recall inviting you, and I cut all ties with Suzy and everything that has to do with her so why the hell are you here?" "Jeez chill, I didn't come to bother you," Anna assured, tucking her hair behind her ear, "You're the only one I could come to because you're the only one I know that knows Suzy." "So?" "I came to drop off her stuff. I'm leaving the country first thing tomorrow and her stuff are in my way.
