Becky took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, "Well, whatever! I'm not forcing you to believe me. I'm just doing my duty until you recover," she said flatly. Hearing James said those words made her heart ache even though she knew he was just speaking his mind and didn't mean it.

Doctors and nurses came, taking James to the MRI room for a thorough examination while Becky waited in front of the room, clapping her hands together and praying. She wished James a speedy recovery. That was all he hoped for. Not because she wanted to force herself to return to him but because she couldn't hold back the guilt that filled her chest.

While she was busy muttering prayers, suddenly, her cell phone rang. From Andrew West, ''Mr. West,"

"Evening, Miss Beckett. Are you in the hospital?"

"Yeah, um, I'm in front of the examination room, James still inside. What happened?" asked Becky curiously.

    "Nonsense! There's no way he's my son! How old are you?" James asked Marshall with an annoyed face."Twenty-two years," Marshall said dryly."Look! How can a thirty-three-year-old me have a son as big as him? Come on, use your wits!" he snapped, glaring at Becky."Yeah, James's right. He only met Nora at fourteen or fifteen. It's a bit unlikely that Marshall was his son," muttered Becky as if she'd just realized it."Forget about it and focus on more important things, Marshall. Would you like to testify for us in court?" interrupted Detective Thompson impatiently."Yeah, of course, I told you I would," he said a little curtly. He leaned back, and then looked out the window, which gave a view of the bustling streets of Los Angeles."My mother sexually exploited me since I was twelve, not only me but other boys as well, she is a devil and should be sentenced to life in prison..." Marshall hissed with eyes bloodshot with anger.Becky felt very touched. She felt sorry for Marshall, he mus

    Hours later, they landed in New York safely. As planned, Becky chose to stay in a motel for a few days until she found a place to live that suited her taste and budget."Guys, we have enough money for a good meal. What do you want to eat? I'll order delivery," she said as she put the suitcase in the corner of the motel room, which wasn't too big.Alex dan Phoebe chuckled. "Is that so? I was just in the mood for some Casserole. Can you order it for me?" asked Phoebe.Becky smiled as she nodded, "Okay! Would you like some apple pie too?""Sounds delicious! I want one!" said Alex cheerfully."Okay! Just get some rest. I'll wake you up when the food arrives," she said as she typed her order on her cell phone. Secretly in her heart, she felt so empty and numb.The next day she started walking around to see the apartment that she saw in the advertisement on the internet, and after hours of searching, she finally found a place that perfectly suited her taste and budget.

    As if moved by an invisible force she rose to her feet and clapped her hands once,"Okay! You can go! When is the last date for registration? I'll get you money for the plane and your supplies," Becky said steadfastly."Um, it's today..."Her spirits faded slightly, "Today?" she stammered."Yeah, today is for full scholarship recipients. If we go through today, we have to pay in full," said Phoebe a bit timidly. She knew her sister might be angry because they were in too much of a hurry.Becky loosened her collar, feeling a little hot from being too surprised by Phoebe's words. But in the end, she just nodded, "Okay, how much does the registration form cost?""For the scholarship test? It's free! If we pass the test today, maybe we should fly to Europe next Monday," said Alex carefully."Next Monday? Do you mean in four days from now on? What about the Visa?" Becky's eyes nearly popped out of place. Alex and Phoebe just grimaced, but they have certain reasons why they are so eager to

She felt so alone and lonely even though there was Nina, who sometimes came to accompany her, and there was a busy life in the office that was always waiting for her to finish."Are you going back to the office?" asked Nina when they were in the airport lobby."Yeah, I can't take time off yet. I only have half a day off. I'll drop you off near your house so we can take a taxi together," Becky said, trying to sound cheerful."Are you okay?" asked Nina, studying Becky's dim eyes. Becky shrugged. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just missed them already..." she said in a choked voice. Nina rubbed her back gently, "They will be great people. You have to let them pick up their dreams, let them fly as high as they can," she said, trying to cheer up her friends, who she considered family."Yeah, you're right, I can't get in the way of their dreams. There's a cab. Come on!"After dropping Nina off on the main road to h

    "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 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

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

    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!

    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
