Chapter 129. I Want You Back!That night would be long for Richard with all those papers on his desk and the laptop on the search page. His mind was spinning, and the more he looked, nothing made sense. The only question he had was, if he lived through all of that, why didn't he remember?Elizabeth, on the other hand, was in the room with Ailda after Jayden left and made sure of what Richard was doing. When he returned, he had a calm smile on his face."What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked, tense."Since you said he was being poisoned by her, I decided to react. I placed evidence about his past everywhere. Right now, he is in the office checking everything. If he doesn't remember, at least he will have to see evidence of everything he lived through," he said, eagerly."He somehow has traces of feelings for me that he doesn't recognize, so there is still hope," Elizabeth murmured thoughtfully."Let's go out; Ailda needs to rest."Richard stayed until late in his office until Beth appeared. H
Chapter 130, Hidden." She's looking for you!" announced Elizabeth, but Richard placed his hand over her lips, silencing her, while remaining alert." Richard!" she shouted, looking around, then stopped in front of Elizabeth's door and turned the knob.Elizabeth panicked, trying to move, but Richard smirked; then she realized that the door was locked." Don't make noise," he warned, his breath burning her face."What's happening to you?" she whispered suspiciously. "Do you remember?"He frowned and smiled." No... Not even a trace, except when you slapped me, and I didn't like it at all."Elizabeth relaxed her body, lying down, disheartened." Oh... What a drag! For a moment, I thought you remembered me. It seems I'm not that important, actually no one...""I have no memories, but I have marks. My body is marked by your touch because... When I feel you touch me, I briefly recall something familiar, as if I've touched you before. This isn't random, right?""At least now you have doubts
Chapter 131. Did Elizabeth hit a child?Beth didn't interrupt them; she just stepped back, descended a few steps, and composed herself."― Richard..." she called as if she were going up the stairs, and before she could see, he thought, he moved away from Elizabeth, heading towards Beth."We've finished lunch. Don't you want to take a walk in the garden? Have you finished the call?" Beth asked, feeling her chest tighten."Ah... Yes!" he mumbled, swallowing hard.Elizabeth headed to her room, showing indifference. Even though he was close, it was uncomfortable to know that he didn't remember anything.She stayed in her room for almost the entire afternoon and, as soon as she woke up, staggered out upon hearing some laughter in the corridor. The children were running, playing until the youngest stumbled and fell."Aunt!" the older one shouted, scared, when Elizabeth grabbed the other by the arm, trying to help her get up. "How can you push my sister like that?"Elizabeth frowned, still h
Chapter 132. Dead-end Maze.Richard continued following her as he found himself surrounded by plant walls. He had no idea where he was going, driven by curiosity, he became distracted.Elizabeth didn't notice him as she walked slowly."Is she sleepwalking?" he thought, continuing to follow her until they reached a glass structure.He was surprised to find such a place in the midst of this labyrinth.Finally, Elizabeth snapped back to reality and realized someone was watching her. When she turned around, she met Richard's gaze and his surprised expression."What is this place?" he asked breathlessly."Do you like it? You followed me here..." she sighed thoughtfully."I found it interesting, it would be the kind of place I'd like to have.""You have it, you have it and you have me," she murmured approaching him. "If only you remembered who I am, you wouldn't think I would have hurt that child," she murmured, trying to touch his chest, but he stepped back."I don't want to talk about it,
Chapter 133. When the Medicine No Longer Takes Effect.Elizabeth approached him, observing him suspiciously."Are you sure you don't remember anything?"" I do remember, everything, I have a wife and two children...""Go to hell!" she suddenly shouted, losing her patience. He swallowed hard, not recognizing her."And to make matters worse, you have such an outrageous language, Miss LeBlanc, coming from such a wealthy family, have some manners," he reprimanded as she crossed her arms in a fit."I'm going to send you to hell again, just to be clear, you're not leaving here without me, and for that reason, I don't want to hear about your double life!" she asserted in a seemingly ominous tone.Richard just stood up, throwing the juice and the cookie on the bed, and left. She let him go through the maze alone."Uhm... It's been half an hour," she murmured thoughtfully, tempted to look for him while also being annoyed. But her concern won over, so she followed the maze searching for him. Ho
chapter 134. A Born Hunter.He remained there, observing her, and for a few moments, flashes of memory came to his mind, but they slipped away in seconds, and he felt his head spinning, closing his eyes and then coming back to himself.When he opened his eyes, she was looking at him, confused."Are you okay?" she asked, approaching."Yes..." he murmured, avoiding eye contact, but she came closer, extending her hand to him, hoping he would come closer."Why do you insist on this?" he asked uncomfortably."I'm not going to do anything; if you don't remember, it's okay. But I can't help but miss it," she confessed, taking his hand and pulling him under the shower.He closed his eyes, and she removed the bandage from his forehead with an ironic smile."Who would have thought that the man you raised as a son and brother would break you because of a woman? In another time, it would be the opposite; Jayden always pursued me and was against our relationship.""Were we very close?""He is the
Nightfall came and Elizabeth was still in a bad mood, this time Richard himself was preparing dinner while assessing everything they had there."It seems like it's going to be a cold night," he commented as he noticed all the fogged-up windows outside, making it difficult for them to see clearly through them."Hmm..." she sighed, curled up in the armchair as if imitating him, now focusing her attention on a book."I'm not sure what to prepare, but I had a good idea with these meats," he remarked, starting to slice the red meat he had chosen. Elizabeth watched surreptitiously as he demonstrated his knife skills, slicing precisely and then arranging the pieces on a platter, sprinkling spices on top. The pleasant smell filled the small space. He then arranged everything on the plate with some green garnishes, making it look like it came from a fancy restaurant. He organized everything on the tray, along with a bottle of wine and two glasses, placing them on the plush rug on the floor, ne
Chapter 136 Still Leaving?Elizabeth got out of bed, leaving the sheets behind, and realized she was still missing a piece of clothing."But how? Could it be?" she asked herself, thinking Jayden had fetched Richard.She took a quick shower and hastily got dressed to leave. Still brushing her hair, she opened the door to leave when she found Ailda and Jayden waiting for her outside with grim expressions."Who died?" she asked."Are you okay? How did he find the way?" Jayden asked."He ordered us not to enter the room, to wait for you to come out," explained Ailda anxiously."Weren't you supposed to pick us up?" she asked, furrowing her brows."Not at all, I thought you'd stay for at least three days.""So, he remembers now?" she asked anxiously, intending to go to her room, but Jayden held her arm."No, he's not in the room. Since he arrived, he locked himself in the office and has been there since seven o'clock.""But it's already nine o'clock, what is he doing?" she asked confused."
