The young woman was sprawled across the pavement unconscious attracting attention from the many people around.

“Someone call an ambulance.” A middle aged woman suggested, shaking her head in pity as she watched her however no one did a thing. They continued to whisper in hushed tones. But suddenly a young man emerged from the crowd, paving his way through.

A bold frown was etched across his face as he swayed gallantly in his dark blue coat. “What are you all doing? Is this some sort of TV show?” His thunderous voice boomed across the crowd but no one gave a response, one by one they began to disperse.

Behind him was a beautiful woman in stilettos, unlike Peter who seemed to show empathy towards the unconscious woman, Helen did not give much of a damn.

“She can go to hell.” She says while chewing on her bubble gum aggressively with her hands folded.

Peter turned to face her in protest but she was quick to silent him, “before you try to lecture me I’d like you to know that I don’t g

    I woke up with a loud bang like as if an explosive had gone off in my brain although I was unconscious tearing my eyes open proved to be a great task. My brain was awake yet my body refuses to move an inch, it felt like my limbs were glued to the bed where I was lying and something heavy was pressing me down. I had never experienced this feeling before but I knew what this was, I had heard about it before, although I couldn’t remember where but it was truly scary as the rumors said.After moments of struggling the curse was finally lifted and I managed to peel my eyes open, though it felt like someone had taken their time to squeeze out every ounce of energy in my system, I felt utterly drained. The first thing that came to view was white ceilings, as I struggled to move my head I heard someone say. “Don’t move, I’ll get the doctor.”It was a male voice however it appeared unfamiliar, as I was struggling to decipher who this strange voice belonged to, I was hit with a sudden question

    I was discharged on the same day, I learned that his name was Peter. The doctor said that I had gotten in an accident before this however I had no recollection of such. There was still no way to locate my family members or figure out my identity, it seemed like no one was even searching for me. I knew my guess must be right. I was deep in thoughts when Peter walked over stealing my attention, “I just paid the bills, we can leave now.” He said with a bright smile. I found it hard to express my gratitude in words that the only thing I could do was stare.“You don’t have to thank me.” He said breaking eye contact, “it’s the right thing to do.” “Thank you.” I managed to say.“I’ll find my way from here.” I started to walk away when he pulled me back, “and where do you think you are going?”“No wait, let me rephrase that, do you have anywhere to go?”The answer to that question was quite obvious however I didn’t want to burden him further. It was hard to respond to his question because

    I couldn’t help but poke my head out through the window in astonishment as the car came to a stop, “does this whole place belong to you?” I asked curiously. The mansion before me was extremely huge and beautiful.“Yes.” He replied in a proud tone, kicking the car door open. While I was too busy looking around, he walked over and opened the door for me and I walked out shy, tucking a loose strand behind my ear.“After you.” He said, gesturing for me to walk forward which I did, we both trailed in with him walking behind him.I did not expect to find a woman by the door as soon as I walked, there was a look of anger on her face but it soon turned to shock as she laid eyes on me. I didn’t fail to recognize the look of disbelief on her face. Turning to Peter, “are you out of your mind? You even had the nerve to bring her home.”This must be the younger sister I concluded, however she was the stark opposite of what Peter observed. I’d say she hates me, judging from how she seething towards

    Cameron’s pov It’s been a week since Avery got missing, although I appear to be fine on the outside, I can’t lie it’s starting to get to me. I can’t even focus on anything, she is all I can think of. I keep praying for her to be safe, if truly something bad has happened, I won’t forgive myself because it’s clear that I’m the one who drove her out. I regret my words and actions now, but it’s too late already. Because of Cecilia I can’t search for her openly, but that doesn’t mean I’d sit still. Unfortunately there hasn’t been any traces of her, no matter how hard I search. Avery is nowhere to be found, where could she be? “You have a call sir.”My secretary Diana interrupts causing me to look up from my desk in a sudden, trailing my eyes to the telephone on the table I see it vibrating, I didn’t even realize it was ringing. Grabbing the phone off the table, I bring it close to my ear breathing a soft hello into the speakers. “Now you know how to pick my calls.” Cecilia’s angry ton

    “So this is where you are and I’ve been looking all over!” I shouted causing her neck to snap my way, I watched her eyes open in shock but then it soon transformed into confusion, she parted her lips to speak but then Peter stepped in front covering her completely from my view. He wore a sinister smile that let me know he was up to no good.“Why are you here making a scene, don’t you think it’s improper?” He spoke.Looking around, I could see people whispering in hushed tones while staring at us but I couldn’t be bothered about that. The sight of their two together upset me greatly, what got to me more is that she just sat down there like as if she had no idea who I was. “I’m not talking to you.” I hissed, “step out of the way so I can speak with my wife.” After all, we were not officially divorced yet, and Cecilia was right about one thing. I’m indeed stalling time while looking for ways to rectify the situation because I truly cannot bear to part with her. I know for sure that in t

    Cameron’s povThere was a strange silence in the air, although I wanted to explain to her I couldn’t find the right words to say. How exactly do I explain? Where do I start from? Peter took that as cue, stepping forward with confidence he spoke, “I’m sorry I kept this hidden from you, actually I’ve always wanted to tell you. But I didn’t know where to begin from.” Instantly I knew he was about to spin a web of lies, but Avery looked expectant, eager to hear what he had to say while I couldn’t even get my lips to move staring at her like a dummy!“He is indeed your husband, yes you are married but before you start to rejoice I want you to know that he not as he appears to be at all, Cameron is cruel and heartless and he has caused you many sleepless nights, you both were at the verge of divorcing before you lost your memories.”I gripped his tie in a sudden move yelling, “shut the hell up, you know nothing!” He was just an outsider, how could he ever know the things that happened betwe

    She had a creepy smile on her face, this made his heartbeat even faster. But Avery kept her eyes fixed on Cameron, tapping her fingers impatiently. “You haven’t answered me.” Her voice had a deep undertone.“She’s my ex-girlfriend!” He admitted with a sigh.“And why were you together?”The young man was rendered speechless once more, “we had business to take care of.” He finally said after a long pause, his face was hard as a rock. “What’s that paper in your hand, you’ve been holding it for a while now.” It was the divorce papers, he immediately became tensed trying to hide the contents but squeezing a little harder but it was too late as she had already taken a peek earlier. “You don’t have to worry about that.” He rolled it into a ball and threw it out the window.“Correct me if I’m mistaken but we are married?” He nodded in response, “do we have children together.”“Yes,” he smiled, “two of them.”Pausing for a moment, she cast her gaze outside the window whispering to herself.

    Cameron pov Finally, Cecilia cleared from our path satisfied with my promise, little did she know I had no intention to honor it. Avery remained calm behind me and this upset me more than I showed it, in the past we would’ve exchanged a few words but now she seemed way too calm, unconcerned about the matters that concerned me. “Where did you find her?” Mom appeared looking worried, but then quickly readjusted her composure facing Avery with a harsh look.“You,” her tone was the complete opposite of the one she used earlier, “where have you been?”Avery looked dumbfounded, “she’s my mother.” I quickly whispered to ease her tension. “I’m sorry but I don’t remember.” She faced mom with a smile, “I think I got into an accident while running an errand.”Mom gasped utterly shocked, I could see in her eyes that she worried about her safety, but she did not dare show it openly. Just then a babies cry reached my ears. “That must mine!” She exclaimed running forward but soon came to stop lo

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an

It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies? What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say

    For the longest time possible, I restrained myself from looking back. However, it soon became unbearable, and I was forced to retract my decision much to my dismay. When I turned around Cameron was no longer behind me. I don’t know why, but this made me upset. I had no strength in me to move further.With my heart rapidly, I leaned against the wall, hoping to catch a break. I spotted two couples walking down the sideways hand in hand, jealousy clouded my vision as I struggle to look awayWhy am I so thirsty for his love? I honestly don’t understand it.I had to gather all my strength to say those words to him and right now I’m the one who is in pain although he didn’t seem to take it too well either I know a man like him won’t be heartbroken for long after all doesn’t he have a mistress back at home?Images of them in bed flash through my brain, and I could not bear the hurt.

    I can feel the pain in his voice, his messy appearance further adds to my strain. I want to embrace him and say all is fine but I can’t seem to move my feet, deep down I’m still upset but I find myself feeling bad for him.What is this called? No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now. I want you to leave me alone at the same time I don’t.” I say truthfully even though my heart is racing rapidly, I crave for him to be closer. As if reading my thoughts, Cameron steps forward closing the space between us. He gazes upon me softly, In that moment my world goes still and it feels like there’s only two of us under the vast sky. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it off causing me to shudder, but I don’t push him away secretly enjoying it. Even though my face shows no hint of happiness, because my heart is heavy. “I didn’t realize it back then but what I did

    I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth? Did Cameron really treat me that way? If truly he doesn’t love me why is he running behind me looking like a mess.Though I don’t dare to turn back I feel his eyes on my back, I know he is chasing after me. A part of me wants to stop and confront him on what I’ve heard and another part wants to keep running, too ashamed to face him. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my knees causing me to slip and fall, it doesn’t take seconds for Cameron to catch up to me. “Are you okay?” He quest

    Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec

    “I don’t think it’s just for you to accuse him like that.”Even though I couldn’t remember, I had a feeling that Cameron wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t resist the urge to defend him. Didn’t I hate him a while ago? What’s happening now. She drew in a deep sigh, “you’re so stupid Avery I can’t believe we are friends.”“Says you,” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t even know who you are, do you think it’s right to accuse my husband in such a manner.”“I’m only trying to help you, what don’t you understand!”“Well if you’re trying to help me stop accusing him without having concrete evidence.”She paused for a moment rolling her eyes through me, “I can tell you don’t believe me, but look into your heart, the memories are in there somewhere.”“I don’t care about those darn memories!” I screamed out loud. Right now the only person I want to see is him, even though he’s one of the reasons why I’m miserable. It feels like only he can alleviate my pain right now.“Listen to me woman!” Kylie grabs my s

    Jake drove us to a fancy hotel in town, as the car came to a halt I alighted ready to walk in when I saw the words CMN boldly written ahead. Turning to face Kylie, “isn’t it Cameron’s?”She smiled back at me and replied, “indeed it is but it won’t be for long.”However that was the least of my concerns right now, even after learning that Colton robbed my family of everything we owned, reclaiming the stolen properties was the last thing on my mind right now. What I desire is to lock him behind bars forever. “Don’t you think it’s risky staying here? What if he finds me? Also I have no money, I can’t afford a place like this.” Pausing to look at her, “and I don’t think you can either.”I only took out little from what Cecilia had given me, the rest was carefully tucked away underneath the bed. Who knew that the motel would catch fire and everything would burn to ashes, now I’m cashless with two mouths to feed. Going to the bank isn’t even an option when I can barely remember my own d

    Just as I was preparing to attack I heard a commotion outside which created a distraction as both men craned their neck to the direction the sound had emerged from while the woman continued to focus of the babies, I couldn’t help but notice how tender and soft she was with them.She didn’t look as bad as the other two, I made a mental note to say a word of gratitude when I finally made it out of here. “Go check what’s happening.” Chubby said to skinny who seemed a bit reluctant but eventually turned walking towards the exit.As the man walked away, he turned to face me, I could see the warning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare attempt anything funny, now tell me where you have hidden the documents.”As I opened my mouth to speak there was a loud bang resembling a gun shot, he quickly scurried to the ground for safety while the woman hid away in a corner. There came another shot, I knew I couldn’t just seat still and wait for them to get to me. Without much effort I easy broke away from t
