Chapter 27

Alexis

I slept well, and I even drooled a bit, haha!

And my pillow is so soft! I hugged it tight and I wanted to sleep again.

"I think you're abusing me, baby," Zac's voice said.

I looked up, and there was Zac! Oh no! I still had drool on my face.

"Huh? Zac, why are you here?" I asked, confused.

"It's our bed. It's only natural that I'm here," he replied, his tone indicating he wasn't in the mood for questions.

"Ah, yeah, right. But what I mean is, why are we sleeping next to each other?" I asked, puzzled.

"Tsk! Who was scared of ghosts last night? And please, get off my arm, I've gone numb already," he explained.

Right! I'm forgetful nowadays.

I got up and Zac's arms felt relieved. But his arms still seemed numb. I could see the pain on his face.

"Sorry, Zac. Should I massage it to get rid of the numbness?" I asked and immediately began to massage his arm.

"Ouch! No, thanks. You might make it even worse," he said, brushing my hands away.

Exaggerated!

Good thing Zac Woke up! "What happened?" he asked, still sounding sleepy. Don't fall asleep again, Zac!"Manong is acting like a demon! And look at the road! This isn't the way home anymore, huhu," I replied tearfully. Zac immediately looked at Manong, and in an instant, he pulled out a gun! This is turning into an action movie again! What's happening to my life, huhu? I'm going to faint, and I'll drool.Not again!No, I must be strong. It's embarrassing! Zac's hands moved swiftly, and he grabbed the gun from Manong. Without hesitation, Zac pulled the trigger, and Manong's head jerked back!I felt like vomiting, but I held it in. I must be strong! Our car screeched to a halt, but Zac quickly grasped the steering wheel and stopped the car at the side of the road. He threw Manong out of the window.

He's even got a big belly. Am I going to faint again? Never! I'll keep fighting!But honestly, I'm getting scared. I feel sorry for Debbie, who won't stop crying and is shaking with fear. Hang in there, Besh! I looked her straight in the eye, hoping she'd understand. "Don't hurt her!" Grandpa shouted, but we're getting close to them."You're so sweet, Night. It seems like just yesterday, you were crying uncontrollably over Amanda's passing. I just can't believe you replaced her so easily." The ugly man was still smiling, but then a glimmer of sadness flashed in Granpa's eyes. He looked like he was about to cry. Is Amanda my grandmother? Poor Grandpa, if she's gone. And that ugly, stupid man is just smiling."Shut up! It's because of your evil son!" Grandpa shouted. And to make matters worse,

I clung to Zac, and suddenly, he moved! His hand stirred. I sit down and look at him. Slowly, he open his eyes. Hallelujah!Thank God Zac is finally awake."Zac?" I asked joyfully. And due to my overwhelming happiness, I hugged him tightly. But he immediately pushed me away!Damn you, Ugly. "Who are you?" he asked, furrowing his brow. Oh no, don't tell me? The door opens, and the doctor and Grandpa entered!"Zac, you're awake now!" Grandpa exclaimed with extreme joy. "Mr. Night? What are you doing in here?" Zac asked, puzzled. It's unfair! He recognizes Grandpa, but I'm a stranger to him. "Hey, Doc, what happened to him?" Grandpa asked seriously. The doctor examined Zac before answering the questions on our minds."He's experiencing temporary amnesia. And all he can remember is his past. But don't worry,

He had been betrayed before and didn't want it to happen again. So, he just said whatever came to mind to Debbie. But he didn't expect to fall for Debbie's beauty and sense of humor."So, what's going on, Hector? Or maybe that's not even your real name?" Debbie asked, her voice laced with frustration.The bubbly, lively, and loud Debbie had been replaced by a serious and unenthusiastic one. Who could blame her? She was deeply hurt when she found out Hector was married, but she continued the relationship because it was the first time she had fallen in love."Babe," Hector said softly. "Don't call me that. What about your so-called wife? What's your term of endearment for each other?" Debbie asked angrily. "Fine, I'm sorry. I have no wife, and I've been hiding my identity," Hector said seriously.

But, to be fair, I have Italian blood, haha. Oh, I'm so beautiful! "We are the most powerful and famous Mafia Group, not just in Italy, but in the entire Mafia World!" Grandfather began. My popcorn is taking too long! I had it cooked especially for Grandpa's storytelling. "Wait, Grandpa! Let me get my popcorn first, hehe." I said, scratching my head.He just laughed at my craziness. I quickly ran to the kitchen. The popcorn is already cooked. I took it out and sprinkled a generous amount of cheese powder on it. Grab one wate

"Zac, we're just going to get some fresh air outside, okay?" I said, taking my leave. "Go ahead," he replied curtly. But Debbie slipped out of my grasp."Wait a minute, girl," she quickly walked over to Hector. And kissed his lips! Debbie, you're so shameless. Zac seemed unfazed, so I looked away, trying to avoid the awkwardness. "We're stepping out for a bit, babe," Debbie said sweetly, after devouring, I mean, kissing Hector's lips. "Take care," he replied and gently held her face."Ahem! We're just going outside, not to Canada, haha. Let's go!" I pulled Debbie away.

    Chapter 36AlexisThis is it – we were all at the airport, and it was time to say goodbye to my family. I felt an overwhelming sadness wash over me. I'd been crying in the car earlier, clinging to Mommy as we hugged tightly. I will miss her, and Daddy too, despite his constant scolding. And Grandpa... who would cook chicken soup and call me "little princess?"The thought of living without them, even though I can still see them, is unbearable. I don't think I can handle it."Shh, show them you can do it. Don't show them you're weak. They'll just worry more," Zac whispered, holding me close. Thankfully, his amnesia had brought out this side of him, and I had him to lean on now. He'd been my rock these days, always there for me and being sweet. But what would happen when the real Zac returned? Would he still be sweet to me? Probably, but as a friend and little sister, not as...more. Why was I even thinking about that now? Don't get too attached, Alexis! Shut up, brain, you're a
