Becky shook her head,

"No, I can't..." she said, half-chocked.

James's eyes darkened, "What about one step at a time?" he replied almost in a whisper.

"That's not included! We could make it last time! You don't need those stuff, we could still have fun!"

James breathed out heavily,

"What if I said I faked it?"

"What?" she glared at him in disbelief. "No, you didn't fake it. I could feel it! Just don't make things more complicated, please..." she begged, teary.

She could see the disappointment on his face, he didn't say anything and just left her like that. She plopped down on the floor, she thought everything would go back to standard quickly but the words 'one step at a time' seemed not relatable anymore. When she was busy with her thoughts suddenly her cellphone rang, and she got up to pick it up.

"Nina?"

"Hey, my aunt said the bracelet is worth one hundred and fifty-three thousand dollars, what do you say?"

"Well, send one hundred to Dr. Debbie Scott, she was expecting that number

    "Where are you going?" asked Timothy, he barely dare to look Becky in her eyes."Kitchen, I need to see Nina," she answered flatly. Timothy nodded his head, "Congratulations!" he said lightly."For what?""You and Mr. Miller," he sounded so sarcastic when he said that.Becky just stayed silent, she wanted to confront Timothy about what happened in Hawaii but her mind had too much to think about, she didn't have time for that so she just leave him alone.She walked fast to the kitchen, not even looking back. There where she found Nina sitting on the stool with a cup of coffee in her hand, she looked so sleepy but she tried hard to stay awake."Becky, what happened?" Nina stood up as she saw Becky show up. Becky couldn't help herself but cry, "We have to go..." That's all she could say.Nina glared in shock, "Oh God! What now? You guys fight again?" she looked so panicked."He's not ready yet, and maybe he would never be ready, we have to go back to New York...""To the apartment that r

    The sunshine peeked through between the curtains making Becky squint, she opened her eyes and felt empty out of a sudden. She remembered that she broke up with James last night, not broken up though because they haven't started anything. But the fact that James gave up on himself was hurting her so badly.She took her cell phone and was surprised to see a message from Dr. Debbie Scott telling her that she has received the money and will do an interview with some of the TV stations tomorrow.She let out a long sigh, at least people would have a different point of view about James Miller and not judge him without proof.She stretched out her hands, she had to move to Nina's room, but she needed her morning coffee. She walked out of the room and didn't expect to meet James because he should be gone to the office already. But she was wrong, he was there, right in the kitchen."You woke up already?" he said, while his hands were busy putting up some waffles on the plates. Beckky fell silen

James lifted his hand, wiping her tears. "I hope that's enough, I've never shared any of those stories with anyone before, I didn't know how to start, I felt like I was lost for words every time I wanted to speak..." said James looking away from Becky's eyes."So you've tried to speak to someone before?" she asked curiously."Yeah, once, I talked to the psychiatrist in some hospital when I was a kid..." he shrugged.She took his hands, looking at him with a meaningful gaze, "I'll embrace everything, all your past, and all your flaws, I won't ask any question ever again..." she said earnestly. James didn't say anything, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly."Give me some time, I can't promise anything but I assure you, you're the only woman I have ever fallen in love with..."Becky w

    That Woman"Becky? Say something!" yelled Phoebe with her teary eyes. Becky gulped nervously, she took a deep breath and sat in between Alex and Phoebe."Listen, none of those words are true, he's lying to you..." she said looking at them in turn."All of them? Including about your slavery thing?" asked Alex in disbelief.Becky sighed,"Look, it's a very long story but everything is fine now! Okay?" she nodded her head."No, it's not okay! Just answer us! Do you work as a slave for him? I mean Mr. Miller," Phoebe demanded an answer.Becky turned her gaze to Nina who just shook her head because she didn't know what to say. She could just lie to her siblings but she knew they would find out about that soon or later. She leaned her back, hugging her knees."Our Dad, he used to work as one of Mr. Miller's bodyguards, he betrayed him, and stole something precious from him, and that drove Mr. Miller mad. Dad ran away and Mr. Miller got me, and you know what? It was Dad's idea to pawn me to

    Me Over Her?She walked tiptoed behind the giant pillars and stopped right in front of the library which was surrounded by a giant glass window. She squinted, examining what James Miller and that woman did inside, they seemed just casually talking but the way that woman holding his hand was something that bothered her so much. She was just watching them for minutes before finally, she saw them hugging each other tightly which made her stomach churn in jealousy, were they still in a relationship?She hid and crouched down on the floor when they stepped out of the library, if James saw her, he would be disappointed and that was the last thing she wanted to happen."You know you broke my heart, James..." said that woman with her hoarse deep voice that somehow sounded very sexy."I know, but you know this gonna be happen someday Nora," replied James, he looked down at the floor, there was no longer the confident James Miller that everyone knew, he looked different when he was around her

    Becky breathed in and breathed out heavily, she has to make her decision to stay or to leave. She should live with pride, how could she voluntarily let James Miller hurt her like that? She didn't say anything and just walked away from the library hurriedly.'She has to leave that place, that's all! After that everything will be easier, one step at a time! Yes, Becky, that's what you should be doing right now...'"Stay..." but she could hear that voice from behind her head, she was sure it was James. She didn't know why but she stopped, hesitating to turn around."I don't know myself anymore, yes I've lost my mind but I couldn't lose you, Becky..." said James, his voice so weak and hoarse.Becky closed her eyes, frowning her face. She was so confused, her pride as a human being? Or her love for the 'unhinged' man behind her. But she turned around, at last. Right there before her eyes, she saw James's sad face, a face that he never show to anyone but her. She walked fast to him, and hug

    "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."Yes, once she knew

    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

    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. There were so many people putting harsh comments on every picture she uploaded.'She's marrying James Miller just to satisfy her shopping habit. She does not feel guilty after what her father has done to him! Such a bitch!''I bet she's not that pretty in real life.And many other nasty com

    "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. "Come on," he said as he stepped back and invited Becky to enter first."How did you know about that? I mean, how do you know how to enter this room?" she aske
