"I was fifteen when I met her..." James started his story.

Fifteen? She held her breath, not ready to hear the continuation of the story.

"She was a thirty-three years old woman back then, I remembered that day very clearly, I was lost in the middle of the city after some gangster robbed me and left me with nothing but a pair of shabby shoes..." he let out a long sigh before continuing his story.

"I was so hungry, cold, and exhausted, I almost fell asleep on the pavement when suddenly an expensive car stopped in front of me and a woman stepped out from inside it, she held her hand to me and told me to come with her to the nearest restaurant to have a dinner with her, and that woman is Nora Johnson..."

Charlotte bit her lip so hard that it turned pale instantly while her hand was gripping the wine glass tightly.

"And after that? She took you to her house?" asked her, choking.

James sipped his wine slowly, staring at the marble floor blankly then he nodded his head.

    Then she faintly heard the sound of something hard hitting the floor. The sound came from James's bedroom which was also hers.She walked hesitantly towards the bedroom, the closer she got the voice became clearer and clearer.She slowly opened the door, but no one was there. Following her instincts, her eyes suddenly fell on the white metal door, James's secret room. She was sure the voice was coming from there.It was only when she reached the white steel door that she realized that the door was slightly ajar, that's the reason why the sound came out even though the room was soundproof. Maybe James forgot to close it...She pushed open the door slowly, then walked timidly inside.There, on the white carpet, he saw he bent over backward and stabbing something into the canvas blindly.She walked closer, she covered her mouth when she saw several torture paintings scattered on the floor. A different painting from what she saw before.She rushed to her knees and hugged James from behind

    "We promise to meet every 4th of July, and I just tried to keep my word, I know it doesn't make any sense to you but between me and Nora, there's this invisible bond that made me so difficult to cut her off," said James that made Becky even more jealous."You kept repeating those words, what are you trying to say? So are we going to set all the boys free or not? Or are we going to talk about that invisible fucking bond all day long?" she snapped in annoyance, she couldn't last hear James talking about the same thing.James looked down at the floor,"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...""It's okay, forget it! I don't care about the reason why you still meet that old lady, so do you have a plan in your mind about how to set the boys free?" asked her curtly."We have to set her up," he said almost in a whisper.Becky frowned,"What? How?" asked her in curiosity."Feed her what she wants and catch her when she is unaware,""What? Do you mean we have to put someone's life in danger just for the

    Pay BackBecky was dumbfounded, she accepted the belt and gripped it tightly."James, please get up..." she begged desperately."No, give me what I deserved Becky, I'm a sinner,""You just did what you have to do, I mean my father almost killed you, I deserved all the pain and you don't have to feel guilty..." she tried to look for an excuse."No, it's your father, not you, I should have punished him, not you," he replied, his jaw tightened.Becky breathed out heavily,"Whatever, I'm not gonna do this stupid thing," she decided, throwing the belt on the floor."Then I'll ask one of my bodyguards to do that! Maybe, Timothy,!He hasn't left yet and he hated me, that's a good start," mumbled James casually, intentionally making Becky worried. She stopped and bit her lips, didn't know what to do."Right, I'll call him right now," said James again, taking his cell phone out of his pocket and looking for Timothy's number."NO! STOP!" yelled Becky, she walked back fast and took away the cell

    Becky put her ear on the door, trying to listen to their talk but she couldn't hear anything. She let out a long sigh and then walked away to the living room, should she listen to what James said to her before? To forget everything about her father and move forward without having closure? But her siblings needed an answer! She walked back and forth, confused.Suddenly, she heard the door open, and before long James and Timothy showed up, both of their faces looked intense as if they just argued with each other. She looked at James and Timothy in turn,"So? You're leaving now?" she asked Timothy, her jaw tightened."Yes Ma'am," answered Timothy politely.Becky gulped nervously,"So what are you going to do to him?" she asked James, no matter how bad her father was, she still cared so much about him."I'm not a murderer Becky, I'm just going to take what's mine," answered James a little bit offended. Everything was too much, especially after what he has been through that day."I'm sorry

    "Where are we going?" asked Nina curiously with Alex and Phoebe around her, they were already at the main door of the mansion."Strolling around the city, James allowed me to!" answered Becky, intentionally raising her voice so Gregory would hear her."Get in! I'll drive!" she jumped into the car and sat behind the steering wheel."Miss Beckett, are you sure you don't want me to drive you to your destination?" asked Gregory, standing next to the car."No, Gregory, I'm fine," she replied lightly. She hurriedly locked the car door and drove away from the mansion."So where are we going right now?" Phoebe asked after the car was far from the mansion."I'll drop you guys in rodeo drive and pick you all up after that, I have something to take care of," answered Becky in a serious tone that made Nina frown. "What are you up to Becky? Are you hiding something?" asked her curiously."No! It's just between me and James, but nothing serious about it so you don't have to worry about anything!" s

    Against The TwinsBecky turned her head to the window and found James, standing right there, staring at her with dark eyes. Nervously she pushed the power window down, "Hey, you here?" she said, her voice trembling. She didn't know how to react, she felt angry, jealous, and embarrassed at the same time."What are you doing here?" asked James examining Becky's expression that made it difficult to lie and create some excuse."I'm looking for you," she lied, and those words were the only idea that crossed her mind. She should change the subject and make herself a victim to calm him down.James breathed out heavily,"Why? Just go home, I haven't done with my plan yet and you know what? Your appearance here might ruin everything," he said too honestly that it hurt Becky instantly."What are you up to?" she asked shakily."I can't tell you now, but you'll find out later, just go home before Nora realized that you came..." said James, patting her shoulder once.Becky felt very angry all of a

    "Yes, it's me, why? You don't like to hear my voice?""Oh God, Becky! I missed you so much, baby!" shrieked William in excitement."Stop calling me baby, what do you want? Don't act like you don't have any mistakes! I'm so done with you! Just stop calling Phoebe or Alex! They don't need a father like you!""Becky! Please don't do that to me, if only your mom is still alive...""Stop bringing that poor lady into this conversation! Especially after you decided to marry Amalia Benuchi!" snapped Becky impatiently."What are you talking about, Becky?""I know everything about you and her! I still remember exactly how you hurt Mom back then by bringing that woman into our house, you two killed her!"Alex and Phoebe looked at each other in surprise,"Becky? What are you talking about?" asked Alex in a choked voice.Becky fell silent,"Just stay away from us," she said at last. She pressed the red button and gripped the cell phone tightly.

    Becky didn't remember anything after that, the last thing she remembered was when her body was suddenly lifted from the barstool and taken to a place she didn't know because she was too lazy to open her heavy eyes.She was awakened by the smell of cooking that entered her sense of smell. She winced, feeling pain all over her body. She slowly opened her eyes and she glared in surprise when she realized she was in an unfamiliar place.She looked around her, a cabin room with a unique boho design. Where was she?Her brain began to busy rearranging the sequence of events that she had experienced since that morning. She remembered going to Nora's mansion, meeting James in that place, fighting with Alex and Phoebe, and getting drunk in a bar...Yeah drunk in a bar! And who brought her to that cabin after that? What if it turned out she was kidnapped by a crazy psychopath?!She stood up limply, her ears could hear the sound of the waves crashing clearly. That means she was not far from the b

    Becky's question was left unanswered. That day James took her back to LA, which confused her, he asked him, but again her question remained unanswered. They landed safely at LAX and continued to James' mansion, which gave Becky a goosebump when she looked at it, recalling the chaotic day when that tragedy happened."Okay, that's enough!" Becky stopped her step and snatched away James' hand, which was holding her wrist. "Can you at least tell me what's going on here? Why are you flying to LA when our wedding is just days away?" she raved, her chest heaving. "I know it's a fake wedding, but I don't like that you changed the plan without my approval. I mean, am I that insignificant to you?"James stopped. He exhaled long and then turned around at her."Those media attention is the last thing I wanted to get right now. I'm canceling the wedding at the Plaza. We're moving here," he said firmly.Becky gulped, "So I'm going to stay here until you don't need me anymore?" she muttered, staring

    "Can you please leave me alone? I need time..." said Becky without looking at him. James nodded. He walked away from her and stopped right at the door."Everything will be fine. You don't have to worry," he said, staring at the back of her head with a warm gaze. Becky didn't say anything. She buried her face between her knees, sobbing. She didn't know that James was standing still behind the door, confused about how he could help her go through that situation.After he left, she dared herself to activate her cell phone. Since she was not famous, people might not be interested in her story. She shouldn't be over-worried, should she?So she swiped the screen, opened her social media, and was shocked.

    "Are you kidding me? Why would you come with us?" asked Becky, who finally canceled to go to dinner with Alan. James shrugged, "I just wanted to join in,?" he said lightly. "Oh really?!" she rolled her eyes, then turned her face toward the window again. They were in the car, just out of The Plaza area."Where are we going?" she asked nonchalantly."Home," he said."Okay, drive me to my apartment. I really need some me time," she said bluntly."No, we're going back to my penthouse," he said undeniably."Excuse me? We're not married yet! We don't have to live together! I want to go back to my apartment!" raved Becky, she didn't know why but she felt like staying in her apartment alone to clear her head from all those sudden things that happened to her.James pulled the car over,"Look, I don't have time to fight! The wedding is only days away! You think it's easy to arrange a sudden wedding?!" he said annoyedly."I never wanted a fight. It's you who always started it! It's difficult for

    Feeling better, she rushed to wash in the bathroom and got dressed. There were far more critical things to consider, like how she would announce her sudden wedding plans to the public. They must have been shocked, especially her siblings. But things might be more difficult if they discovered that James hadn't returned his memories.Let's say the marriage happened, at last, then temporary happiness will soon be created, and years later, all will end sadly because of a divorce that was supposed to happen. She took a deep breath, feeling guilty that her father's sins had resulted in her getting involved in a fake marriage to someone who should be her husband and who loved her the most.Thirty minutes later, she was ready with a knee-length casual dress in brick red. She let her long hair down. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks would turn red with embarrassment whenever she remembered what she had done with James earlier. Suddenly she could hear someone knock on the door."Y

    With an annoyed face, Becky returned to James's penthouse. She still couldn't accept the trap she had set. If she had known from the start that her shopping expenses would be deducted from her own money she would not have spent that much!"Follow me," he said, climbing the stairs to the second floor."We're not going to sleep together, aren't we?" said her curiously. He snorted in laughter, "What did you just say? Do you think I'm willing to sleep with you? You may still be unable to forget what happened to us back then but trust me. I don't remember any of that. I even forgot how you tasted!"Becky didn't reply. However, she lost her virginity to him, which bothered her quite a bit. She stepped ahead of James with a shopping bag in her hand. James looked at her back. He understood what was happening in her head but wasn't lying when he said he didn't remember anything about her."I forgot which one is my room?" asked Becky when they were on the second floor, she looked around the ro

    Becky grimaced. She looked at James with an annoyed look. "We accidentally bumped into each other. How about you? What are you doing here?" she asked, trying to sound cheerful. James looked at her and Richard alternately, "Accidentally bumped into each other? What is that supposed to mean?" he muttered with a raised eyebrow.Richard cleared his throat softly, "I'd better get back to the office, Becky thanks for your time!" he said as he rose to his feet, nodded once to James, and then hurriedly left them. He knew something terrible might going to happen."Are you following me?!" Becky said, her eyes squinting at James suspiciously. He chuckled, "Following you? Do you think I don't have anything else to do? Why would I follow you?! I wanted to pick up something I left in Michael's office, and I accidentally saw you with that annoying guy!""That annoying guy you said? You don't even know him! How can you call him like that? You're even a thousand times more annoying than him! I mean th

    "Um, Richard, nice to meet you. I have to go now!" said Becky, shaking Richard's hand awkwardly."Let's go this way!" said Michael West, leading James and Becky to his office. "Bye!" said Richard, smiling warmly before Becky disappeared from the hallway."What? You like him?" muttered James coldly."Haha, so funny!" replied Becky with a sarcastic tone."Remember you are someone's future wife, don't flirt with other men or...""Or what?" she challenged him."Or you'll get the consequences," hissed James in a serious tone that made Becky shudder in horror, remembering the torture she once got from him.While Becky was busy with her thoughts, James suddenly pulled her hand away."Are you going to keep thinking about that guy, or are you going to focus on settling my life back?" he whispered in her ear.Becky sneered, she looked up at James, but she didn't say anything. It sucks! A relationship with someone who didn't love her back hurt her so much! She couldn't imagine living years with

    Too ShockedThey stared at each other in silence, then the images of what they did a long time ago swirled in Becky's head as James buried his face between her thighs. She could remember everything clearly, all his sighs, touch, kisses..."Rebecca?!""Hey, Rebecca Beckett!" James waved his hand in front of her face and brought her to her senses. She hurriedly pulled herself away from him and cleared her throat nervously."Are you thinking something dirty? Why is your face red like that?" he teased with laughter.Becky's face turned even redder, "You're so annoying!" she snapped, stomping her feet and then walking fast, leaving the kitchen. James held back his laugh and followed her behind. They stood next to each other without speaking. Becky kept cursing herself for being unable to forget everything that had happened. She even felt something warm between her thighs. Gosh! What a shame!"Rebecca, wait!" yelled James running after her. "Arrgh!" suddenly, he stopped, holding his head in

    "I know, you don't need to remind me," said Becky curtly. She turned her face to the window, secretly smiling because she missed James so much. It's just that she didn't want to show her longing for him. One-sided love was tough...James's penthouse was on the 100th floor of a luxury apartment building in Manhattan, New York.A driver opened the car door for her while James waited impatiently beside her. "This way," the bodyguard said, showing her the way to the private elevator that would take them to the 100th floor.She didn't say anything at all and was still trying to digest it all. She tried to fix her life and focus on her siblings, but James's appearance changed everything. She didn't know what would happen after that...James scanned his eyes at a small box located near the entrance. Soon after, the door was wide open.
