~TWO YEARS LATER~ ~DAHLIA~ I let out a squeal as I sat up on my bed. I stared at my phone with a huge smile on my face. “Dahlia, are you okay?” Damian uttered as he barged into my room. I rolled my eyes at him. He was so overprotective, it was getting annoying. I jumped out of the bed and wal
~DAHLIA~ “So he finally let you go?” My best friend, Anastasia asked from the other side of the phone. “Yes and I'm all packed up and ready to go. I hope you're ready as well, you'll be following me in his private jet” I murmured and she shrieked. “We are arriving in New York in style! Have yo
~DAHLIA~ I inhaled as I walked out of the airport then exhaled with a smile on my face. “Can you smell that, Anastasia. That's the smell of freedom” I murmured. “Miss, the cars are ready” One of the guards uttered and I turned towards where the cars were and my eyes widened. Two black slick R
~DAHLIA~ “Dahlia!” The other man rushed towards me and immediately helped me up from the ground with Anastasia’s help. “I’m sorry, he's just a little grumpy today. Are you okay?” The man answered and I turned to him with a frown. “I’m sorry, do I know you? How do you know my name?” I questione
~KADE~ After our run in with Dahlia at the restaurant, Axel was pretty pissed off so he didn't want to remain at the restaurant. We were on our way to the penthouse and I couldn't stop thinking about Dahlia. She hadn't changed that much in two years. The only thing that was different was that
~DAHLIA~ “I’m not going back!” I yelled into the phone before hanging up and throwing my phone on the bed. Damian has been bothering me ever since he heard about what happened at the restaurant. I had begged all the guards not to tell him but I guessed their loyalty was to him not me. Anyway,
~DAHLIA~ I immediately tore my eyes away as I scurried off to my office. “You won't believe who our boss is, Anastasia” I muttered as I sat down in my stall which was next to her. “Who?” She was questioned but before I could answer, the woman who had led us here walked into the office and ever
~AXEL~ I couldn't understand what I was doing here and why this woman had captured my interest but she had,more than I wanted to admit. When I saw her at the restaurant they say,I had been star struck. She looked exactly the same as the woman that frequented my dreams every now and then. I th
~Dahila~ (Three years later.) "Mummy, Mummy! We've got a surprise for Daddy!" Hannah, my energetic three-year-old, exclaimed, waving a giant lollipop in my face. Her twin brother, Huxley, was hot on her heels, also clutching a colorful lollipop. I could tell by the mischievous grins on their fac
~Axel~ Overwhelmed, I stumbled out of the hospital into the night air, my hands shaking, my heart racing, and my mind reeling with worry. The cold wind buffeted me, but I hardly felt it, my thoughts consumed by Dahlia's plight. Self-blame and helplessness washed over me like a wave, leaving me fe
~Damian~ I've been taking care of Dahlia for two weeks now, despite her constant tantrums. Ironically, she's been supportive in her own way, eating and drinking enough to sustain her energy for daily door-banging and screaming sessions. As I waited for her food, my phone rang, and I saw Kade's na
Damian lingered, trying to persuade me to eat, but I remained silent, unresponsive. Eventually, he surrendered, scooping me up in his arms and placing me on the bed. He covered me with the duvet, his sigh heavy with concern. As he left the room, the lock clicked into place, a vivid reminder of m
~Dahlia~ As we drove, I could feel Axel's gaze on me, but I refused to acknowledge it. I was determined to maintain my silence, no matter how long it lasted. The car's engine hummed smoothly, a complete difference to the tension between us. I had overheard him arranging for my brother to pick me u
~Dahlia~ Axel gently set me down on my feet inside the cabin, and I couldn't help but look at him, my face growing warm with emotion. He was so attentive, so caring... I was captivated by his presence. "I'll get a fire going," he said, his eyes never leaving mine. I nodded, taking a seat on the
~Axel~ Feeling drained, I headed to the kitchen to grab a refreshing glass of water. As I walked, I heard a faint rustling sound, making it clear that Kade was still in the mansion. I wondered if he had returned to fetch some documents. Curiosity got the better of me, so I made my way to the offi
~Dahlia~ I was very perplexed when Anastasia took me to the mall. We had a blast together, buying loads of clothes we didn't really need, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The highlight of my day was meeting a girl named Alisha. She was incredibly kind and friendly, and we hit it off inst
~Kade~ I paced around the room, feeling frustration and worry build up inside me. This was a disaster! A real disaster! Axel and Dahlia had no memory of each other, their past experiences together erased. Yet, they still seemed drawn to each other. Why?! How?! Ever since Axel had Dahlia’s boyfrie
