~ OCTAVIA'S ROOM ~

"Are you being serious right now?" June asked excitedly, She couldn't believe that Keir asked Octavia to marry him, she had imagined them getting married but she expected them to date first before Keir would pop the question, but it seemed the young man was full of surprises.

"I swear I was so fucking shocked, you should have seen my mouth wide open without words to express myself."

"So, what did you say? tell me everything...details please," June smiled sitting on the bed next to Octavia, Due to the stab wound on Octavia's leg it was difficult for her to work around so she was forced to stay in bed even though she had just been discharged.

"No."

"What the hell do you mean by No?"

"I was shocked Okay, how many times do I have to say that I know I love him and all but I had not envisioned us getting married, like the question to me off guard," Octavia explained and she was being honest. After Keir had asked her to marry him, she was dumbfounded an

    ~ HYDRA COMPANY ~~ KEIR'S OFFICE ~Keir signs the paper in front of him as he goes through the other page while his new assistant stands beside him explaining the details of each file to him to her best knowledge. She placed her hands behind her and at intervals adjusted her glasses to see properly as her vision wasn't that good."Mr Cooper thinks it will be a good idea for...""I already said we are not going to accept any offer from that brand, I believe I mentioned it in the last meeting we had with the shareholders, are you not taking notes of relevant information like this miss.. miss..""Madeline," she replied nervously. "Sorry about that sir."Keir stared at her and then back at what he was doing on his desk, his mind was so still occupied with the thoughts of Octavia rejecting his marriage proposal that he didn't have time to address the idiot who decided not to employ a professional for this job but an amateur who was not even willing to learn.He still didn't know why Octav

    Octavia smiled when his lips left hers, she bit her bottom lips as she sipped her wine."How is your leg feeling?" Keir asked, he had been worried about her."Hurts like hell, have you gotten any lead yet on Sandy?" Octavia asked, That experience had been traumatizing for her and the only thing she could hope for right now was for them to find Sandy and lock her up for good, She was happy to have Keir all to herself but the fear of Sandy kidnapping her or trying to kill her was giving her sleepless nights."Is this the part where you tell me that you told me so?"Octavia laughed at his words, She had been looking forward to telling him that she was right all along about Sandy being shady but she thought it was best to say it much later when Sandy was actually arrested and locked up. "I did tell you so," Octavia said it regardless as Keir laughed with her."She is not out of the country because we would have gotten a report on her trying to leave the country but we don't know where she

    ~ HYDRA'S MANSION ~~ LIVING ROOM ~Octavia walked in with the help of June, The doctor had suggested she use a walking stick, even her mother but she didn't want to, she felt it would make her look like some old lady. June wasn't even supposed to be here but because she required her assistant to move around she invited her.It wasn't like she wouldn't have offered to invite her, but if not for her leg June wouldn't have attended. June wasn't the social butterfly, she enjoyed her company more than others."My love," Keir smiled as he saw Octavia coming in with June, he walked up to them planting a kiss on Octavia's cheek and offering his hand as support. "Thank you," he said to June for her to let go of Octavia."Sure," June said letting go of Octavia and standing beside her."Octavia Cosmo," Alex smiled raising his wine glass, he had arrived sooner than everyone, so Keir offered him wine while they discussed their business and Keir's new love.Alex was shocked to hear that Keir and O

    "Could you all excuse me? I have a call I need to make," Keir said rising to his feet, he leaned in and planted a kiss on Octavia's cheek who was already looking at him with a worried look, how was she going to keep the conversation going if they asked yet again about their relationship."I just need to make a call to James," he whispered into her ear as he peeked her on the cheek."Alright," Octavia smiled as Keir walked out."You are so lucky to catch one of these handsome men," Gina pointed out dropping her spoon and reaching for the wine glass in front of her."Yeah," Octavia smiled. "So, Clara are you now seeing someone?" Octavia decided to change the conversation, She could have asked anyone of them a random question but she chose Clara because she knew how talkative Clara could be, it would at least buy her enough time before Keir came back."She is still hellbent on Hardin fucking her and making her his woman," Alex answered in an irritated tone."Oh shut up Alex, at least I k

    ~ BALCONY ~After June had left them, she went to retouch her makeup in the bathroom and adjust her dress properly, she was about to go back to join them in the dining when she overheard them talking about her and how it was weird that Octavia would be friends with her.She decided to go to the balcony on the top floor to enjoy the view, She hadn't been to the balcony before but Octavia had told her about how beautiful the view was up there, it was a good thing she had a good memory when it came to details so she was able to remember the secret passage to the balcony.She was sure they wouldn't even miss her presence, and if Octavia eventually realized she was not there, Clara would bring up a topic to keep her locked in her seat, she wasn't pained by their attitude. It was understandable for them to find it odd that she and Octavia were now friends after her previous assistant had tried to dupe the company of her huge amount of money but she ended up in jail when they found out about

    Hardin stared at the lady, he had been able to successfully get her out of the water and on the shore but she was currently in an unconscious state, he ran his hand through his head and breathed out from the cold. "Fuck this," it wasn't like she was going to think about any part of him trying to rescue her.He placed his lips on her lips trying to pass air into her mouth and then he applied pressure to her chest as much as he could, he tried to stay focused on reviving her than the fact that his hand was currently touching her bare chest and her nipples were pointing upward apparently from the cold.He repeated the process, his lips locked on hers and back to his hand applying pressure on her chest, The only time he had seen someone trying to drown themselves was on the television, he had not experienced it first hand but it was a good thing he knew how to do this, he just wasn't sure if he was even doing it the right way because so far she wasn't responding.Her body didn't seem to b

    "Here you go," Hardin said offering her a bag, after they left the beach, he called his men and they brought them back to the hotel where he had lounged in, he was currently in town because of some business and he didn't want to stay with any of his friends so he decided to lodge in a hotel. Well, the hotel was his father's and technically going to be his one day.He had left her in his room while he went to a boutique to get her a new pair of cloth, when he came back she seemed to have taken her bath and was now typing a white robe over her naked body."Thank you," June appreciated collecting the bag from him, it wasn't right for her to be here in a hotel room with a total stranger and having him get her a new pair of cloth but she really didn't have anywhere to go and she had foolishly disposed of everything she had into that water because she thought she would die and not have to worry about it.On their drive back to the hotel, she had been quiet in the car just thinking about how

    ~ COSMO'S COMPANY ~~ OCTAVIA'S OFFICE ~Octavia stared at June as they walked on their laptop sitting opposite each other, June seemed engrossed in what she was doing but she could see her eyes wandering and getting lost in thought at the interval, she had thought June was upset at her for forgetting about her but now she doubted that was what was upsetting June."Is everything alright?" Octavia muttered stopping what she was doing and looking over her laptop at June with a worried look, June had also missed the proposal, Keir had asked her again in front of everyone and she just couldn't resist this time around, she just had to say yes with Keir's reassurance that they were not getting married immediately, but the moment the ring slide into her finger she imagined it in her head what being his wife would be like."Yes," June lied, apart from what had happened between she and Hardin on the rooftop she also had something she wanted to discuss with Octavia and she didn't know how to pu

    - MONTHS PASSED - - HARDIN’S MANSION - “Where are you going to?” Hardin asked, reaching out to June on the bed as he embraced her tightly from behind, planting a kiss on her ear. “Octavia is going to kill us if we don’t attend her baby shower,” June muttered. “Why does her baby shower have to be today?” Hardin groaned. After Conrad was arrested, they spent months going to the station, talking to the police, and going to the court to provide evidence and act as witnesses to make sure Conrad got locked up for good. Finally, the judge ruled in their favor and Octavia decided to put her baby shower on the one day that they needed to rest. Why? “We are not spending the whole day in her house remember,” June smiled, understanding Hardin’s frustration and his desire to spend the whole day with just her. She turned around and placed her hand on his cheeks. “We could leave early.” “Early? Once I see Keir I don’t think early is going to come to mind, those two are still in their honeym

    “What are you talking about?” Hardin asked."I need to show you something," June said, grabbing Hardin's laptop from the dining table and bringing it to the living room. She inserted a flash drive into the laptop and placed it on the table. Hardin sat down next to her, already repeating what she had said again in his head, ‘I have been faking it’. His eyes widened slowly as it dawned on him what June meant, but she showed him the video already playing, interrupting his thoughts. - VIDEO RECORDING -Emma places her phone on the top shelf. She goes back and looks around to check if the camera is showing. She rushes back to sit on the office chair in the library. Soon Conrad steps in, discussing something over the phone. His eyes flare up at the sight of Emma sitting in his seat in his library. “What the hell do you think you are doing sitting in my seat?” Conrad asked, disconnecting the call and placing his phone back into his pocket. “I thought it best to come and play with my hus

    An hour later, Conrad arrived at Hardin’s house, and Hardin felt anxious when he opened the door and caught sight of him.He glanced at June and noticed how she was nervous to see Conrad. He wondered what she was up to. “I’m glad to see you, June,” Conrad whispered. He walked over to June, about to give her a hug, as Hardin stopped him by raising his hand to his chest and shoving him off. “Don’t touch her,” Hardin warned. This meeting was already taking a lot from him to endure. If he touched her, he wouldn’t hesitate to take him out.“We should all sit down and talk,” June asked, like she wasn’t aware of the tension between the two men.Hardin and Conrad stare at each other for a moment, both trying to contain the resentment they held towards each other for June’s sake. They finally sit on the couch and June sits next to Conrad instead of Hardin. Her action doesn’t go unnoticed by Hardin, who eyes flare up, but he allows it. “This should be a private conversation. He shouldn’t be

    Hardin was furious and bewildered by June’s desire to meet Conrad. He understood that she had lost her memory and couldn’t remember Conrad, but wasn't that enough reason for her not to want to see him?He ran his fingers through his hair as he got to his feet, pacing around, trying to process her request. “June, I don’t think this is a good idea. Look, you don’t know the kind of person Conrad is. I mean, he is not the person you think he is.” Hardin voiced out, hoping June would back down.“Allow me to see him, Hardin.” She said, with a straight face.Hardin sighed heavily. This was the last thing he wanted. “Why can’t you listen to me, June? I just told you he is not the person you think he is, and he doesn’t love you. "He's nothing but a liar," Hardin muttered through clenched teeth.“Why do you think so, Hardin? Just allow me to meet him. You don’t have to be so stiff about it.” “Stiff?”“I want to meet with him. I don't remember anything. You make it sound like I do and I am int

    Hardin held June in his arms for almost five minutes until he realized she had fallen asleep and stopped crying.He lovingly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as he kissed her forehead. "I promise to protect you from any harm," he whispered, carrying her in his arms.He got up on his feet and laid her gently on the bed, covering her with the duvet. He smiled at her. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. He could watch her this way without being tired.His mind finally drifted to that call Maria had placed. Something must have caused June to act like this. A frown suddenly fell on his face at the thought of Maria probably doing something to trigger her. Seething with anger, he stormed into the living room, “Maria! Maria!!” He called out to her as she rushed from the kitchen into the living room, bowing her head down. “Maria, what did you do to her? I specifically instructed you not to stress her out,” Hardin bellowed, his voice filled with frustration.Maria, her eyes dow

    June stumbled back, her head pounding with confusion. She couldn’t remember who this man was, and it left her feeling disoriented. “Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.Conrad looked hurt by her question. He took a deep breath and said, “June, it’s me, Conrad.”“Conrad?” June muttered. In the hospital, she remembered uttering that name, but couldn't piece it together. “I- I am sorry, but Conrad, from where? I don’t know you.”“You do. We’ve been dating for over a year now. How can you not remember me?” Conrad lied.“What?” June questioned. That couldn’t be possible. Hardin was her boyfriend. His mother was here just now to confirm that they were indeed dating, and she wasn’t pleased about it."I was in a car accident, which is why I couldn't reach out to you earlier," Conrad explained, stepping towards her, but June stepped back.“Please Sir, leave,” Maria finally spoke up, seeing the distraught look on her madam’s face.“Who are you?” Conrad asked, but Maria didn’t reply to

    "Mrs Scott?" June said. Hardin had mentioned his mother but he barely said much about her, he told her he would explain better today but now here she was. How did she know Hardin was here?"Where is my son? I want to see him," Mrs Scott asked looking behind June to see if Hardin was there."I told you Ma, he is not here," Maria replied angrily, she had been repeating over and over again that Mister Hardin wasn't around but Mrs Scott refused to believe her. "Will you shut up?" Mrs Scott yelled at her."He is not around at the moment but if you want to wait for him you can," June said in a low voice."No Ma'am, Sir said she shouldn't come in," Maria shook her head not accepting what her madam was saying."It's fine Maria, I will handle the situation, you don't need to worry about it," June reassured her seeing the terrified look on her face, it seemed Hardin had given her strict rules to not allow anyone inside including his mother.But why his mother? Was he hiding something from her?

    By nighttime, June decided to take her bath and get some rest. As she took her shower the scent of the bathing soap felt familiar in her nose as she scrubbed her body trying to remember anything but she couldn't.She emerged from the bathroom afterward, her freshly washed face glistening under the soft glow of the vanity lights. Dressed in her cozy pajamas, she climbed onto the bed, preparing herself for a good night's sleep. As she settled under the covers, the door creaked open, and there stood Hardin. He held his pajamas, ready to freshen up and join her in bed.He dropped the pajamas on the bed and went to take a quick shower when he came back he had a white towel over his waist. June stared at his body, his raven-black hair was slicked back, water droplets glistening on his chiseled chest and strong shoulders. Her choice of boyfriend wasn't so bad she smiled to herself, he was not only handsome but also sexy. A smirk danced upon his lips as he caught June admiring his post-show

    June felt her heart leap out of her chest at Hardin's words, her lips parted as she tried to say something but there was nothing coming to her head. That kiss had done something to her and she knew deep down Hardin could see it in her eyes.They both remained still staring deep into their eyes but that brief moment of blissful oblivion was shattered when the maid unexpectedly entered the room.Startled by what was going on, she quickly averted her eyes and mumbled an apology, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I didn't know you had company, Sir." Her face turned crimson as she hastily headed back inside. Hardin and June exchanged a sheepish glance before breaking into a light chuckle. "It's quite alright, Maria" Hardin reassured the flustered maid stopping her on her track as she turned around bowing her head to them. "June, this is Maria, your new housekeeper."Maria nodded, still blushing, and extended a polite greeting, "Nice to meet you, Ma'am. If you need anything, don't hesitate to
