June left the restaurant immediately after getting the text message, it was already late and she felt disoriented by the message, she was about to start the car when she got another text.

She checked her phone quickly wondering if it was from Hardin but it was from Octavia.

[I thought to check on you, how is it going?]

[Hardin is nothing but a jerk.] She replied switching off her phone afterward, she knew if she didn't Octavia's call would follow next and she wasn't in the mood to pick up calls right now.

How could Hardin do something like this to her? If he knew he wasn't coming, he could have just said so rather than making her waste her time in that restaurant looking like a fool.

The waiter didn't need to say anything but she could see it in his eyes that he suspected Hardin wasn't going to show up, maybe this wasn't his fault but hers.

Wasn't this what she wanted? For him to stop chasing after her like a mad dog. Yet, it didn't sit well with her as she thought about it.

    "Hey, is he awake now?" June asked as she stepped into the front desk to find Octavia, Keir, and an elderly lady sited. Octavia rose to her feet to hug her, "No, he is still unstable.""Oh," June frowned. While driving to the hospital, the anger she had once felt for Hardin about standing her up at the restaurant and the marriage news washed away when Octavia messaged her that the doctor just told them that Hardin was still unstable. "This is Hardin's mum, Mrs. Scotts but we call her Jules," Octavia smiled."So sorry Ma," June said to Mrs. Scott, it was the first time she was meeting Hardin's mother, merely looking at the woman she could see where Hardin had gotten his looks and eyes from."Thank you," Mrs. Scott nodded her head."Come," Octavia motioned for June to sit next to Keir and her. "Hey," she said to Keir. "He will be fine," Keir reassured her noticing the gloomy look on her face as she sat down. "I hope so, how did the accident...""Oh, Hardin," a loud cry suddenly int

    "It's fine, you should get some rest," June's lips curled into a smile as she stared at him but Hardin didn't seem satisfied by her answer. "June I.." Hardin groaned as his hand touched his stomach."You should rest," Emma interrupted him. "Let him rest," she said removing June's hand from Hardin and placing hers in his. Hardin stared at the both of them, he wanted to say something to June but he felt himself blacking out as he fell into an unconscious state. "We should all let him rest," Mrs. Scott suggested staring at her son. "Emma will you be able to stay here while I go home to sort out some things, the doctor said he might not be able to use his legs so I want him to be comfortable.""Of course Mum, you know I will without you asking me to," Emma smiled."Thank you," Mrs. Scott nodded. "Thank you all for coming to see him," she said to Keir, Octavia and June. "He is our friend, it's the least we can do," Keir replied. "June should also stay back since he requested to see her

    Emma stared at Hardin taken aback by his reaction, "Is something the matter? We talked about this in your car remember, the wedding proposal and I said yes." "I was telling you what my mother suggested not asking you," Hardin pointed out with a puzzled look. His mother had informed him to get married as he wasn't getting younger, he knew what his mother was driving at was for him to have a child. He had mentioned it to Emma as a joke and even chipped in that his mother had mentioned her name in the conversation. Emma had joked about how they would make a lovely couple since they were childhood friends and how their wedding would be the talk of the town but it was just a conversation so why was she acting this way and in front of June? His eyes darted from Emma to June, "But we kissed afterward, and when I told you I love you, you said okay," Emma frowned touching his face and tilting it away from June to hers. "Did I do something wrong Hardin? If I did just tell me so I can apol

    One week later,June opened the file in front of her as she scribbled some notes beside an error her secretary had made on the file, since the incident at the hospital she had not spoken to Hardin. She thought it best to keep her distance but she hoped he would call or send a message but neither happened over the week.News of the wedding was still online and more pictures of Hardin and Emma were popping up on all social media platforms, the news didn't anger her, it was the comment left by viewers that angered her.They were looking forward to the wedding and hashtag #HardinandEmma was trending online. She flipped the page trying hard to concentrate as a knock fell on the door followed by the landline phone on her desk ringing."Come in," she ordered before receiving the call on the landline. Yes, she said."Ma'am, I just wanted to inform you that Mr. Hardin Scott is heading to your office now, he insisted and in his condition

    "We are having the date at your house?" June questioned as Hardin's bodyguard opened the door for her to step in. "Thought it did be better for us to have an alone time," Hardin said. "Plus you said you didn't want to go to the restaurant.""O-Okay!" June muttered as she stepped into the living room, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in the enchanting scene before her. Petals were scattered delicately across the floor, forming a lavish pathway that led to the center of the room. The air was heavy with the scent of candles, their warm flickering providing a soft, romantic glow.Unable to contain her astonishment, her hands flew to cover her mouth, She couldn't believe Hardin had decided to go through great incredible lengths to transform his ordinary living room into a space of enchantment. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips with each step she took, and her heart swelled, appreciating the thought and care that had been put into creating this intimate setting. The pet

    Hardin turned to stare at June, she had her eyes closed but the moment they opened, he could see the reluctance in her to say it back, "You don't have to say it back, it's not a question.""You knew this was going to happen," June said diverting from the discussion, turning to face him she grabbed the duvet over her naked body."It was bound to, you are also on contraceptives, right? Just to get that out of the way," Hardin asked because he had been in too deep to get himself to pull out on time. "Not really," June replied. She wasn't really active sexually of late but she could just get the pills when-"I got some pills here," Hardin said getting out of bed as he walked to the fridge in his room, he took a bottle of water and handed it over to June before walking to the drawer to get the pills. "So, you just have this in your room or you fucked someone yesterday and-""No, I wasn't with anyone. It's just being safe like having a pack of condoms. Some ladies tend to forget theirs an

    "Oh, my goodness!!!" June gasped hugging Octavia, she couldn't believe her eyes. "I am so happy for you.""I haven't told Keir yet, I plan to over dinner tonight," Octavia smiled."I am sure he is going to be excited about it," June grinned."I am so nervous and can't wait to see his reaction."* * *Octavia set the table for the third time, she was nervous about telling Keir and she didn't know why. She had planned to tell him over the phone but she thought it best to set up a dinner instead.She checked her wrist watch wondering why Keir was taking so long to come home tonight, she finally heard the maids greeting him as her lips curled up in a smile."Welcome," she smiled when he stepped into the dining giving her a hug and a peck on the cheek."Thank you, my love," Keir smiled."Come and sit down," Octavia said holding his hand and leading him to the seat, "I prepared dinner.""Really?" Keir smiled sitting down as Octavia sat next to him. She took his plate serving him quickly as

    "They came around and I couldn't send them off, but since we are all here we can all get acquitted," Mrs. Scott said going to take her seat."I am sorry about this, I wasn't aware," Hardin whispered into June's ear placing his hand behind her back. "If you want us to leave just say the word and -""No, we shouldn't," June said. She wasn't happy Emma was here, especially after their last discussion, she and Hardin joined them on the dining sit next to each other. The maids walked in on cue serving everyone as were about to start eating, "We should pray or don't you?" Emma smiled breaking the silence but June could sense she was up to no good. "And when did you start praying Emma?" Hardin asked raising his brow. "Shall we all eat," Mrs. Scott said digging into her food. "Hardin you didn't introduce us," Mrs. Watts said staring at June. "June, this is Mrs. Watts, Emma's mother," Hardin introduced reluctantly as he dug into his food. "Nice to meet you Ma," June nodded staring at Mrs

    - 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
