Chapter 2

"I thought you would never wake again," the man in front of me said, I looked over at Emilia, and she immediately avoided my eyes, well I was already warned by her to not take any of his words to heart because he apparently joked around a lot and some times it's not pleasant but I never expected such extreme jokes.

"Well that explains why everything was passed to Amber, you thought I died," I said while he laughed out loud

"oh, this is the Miss Auclair that I know, I heard you have been acting different but hearing that just proved they were lying," he said leaning in on his chair,

"Good thing you are back because the party wouldn't have been the same without the star of the show," he said handing me an envelope "the investors wanted to meet you, especially do not decline this time"

"Since Amber is a very good friend of yours, she was sure you wouldn't mind that your deals were passed to her" a long silence followed after that statement,

"So is there something the company reserved for her?" Williams asked

"That should be your job, although I doubt any major deal is on the run, a new movie is being discussed as we speak, the more reason you should come to the party," The more I listened to him talk the more I find him suspicious, I wonder the type of relationship she has with this bald-headed man who hasn't stopped smiling ever since he saw me.

"Sir Patrick, isn't it too early to be talking about a new movie, she is still on medication" Williams suggested

"Does it matter, she doesn't need an audition to get the role, she doesn't even need to learn the script beforehand, just show her face like always and besides the movie is scheduled to be released next year so it's okay"  his words weren't surprising to me at all this time, although Demetria is a known actress, she is mostly known for her visual and always criticized for her rather poor acting skills still she is popular and has a large fanbase...

Well because of my supposed memory loss, Emilia suggested we head back home, which I do not feel like, going back to that house where I am alone watching movies and sometimes with a pinch of hope that I might wake up from this dream, I am completely healed and do not need medication any longer but Emilia is hoping that my memories will come back but unfortunately no it won't cause am not her lady.

"Where are the keys?" I asked her while she looked at me confused pausing from curling my hair

"The keys to the... I mean my car" I said trying to sound firm, I needed to go alone and search for what happened to my body, what happened to Rosa.

"uh," she said handing the keys to me

"Thank you, I will call you," I said standing from the chair

"Where are you going, you can't go out alone it's dangerous," she said with a concerned expression

"I can," I said

"Did you remember something?" she asked me

"Maybe".

Thanks to Emilia who handled me a face cap and mask I left the building and to the garage, driving an expensive car isn't much different from driving my poor car, I need to know what happened, and if I need answers I need to visit my best friend, Georgiana.

The drive from Megastar Entertainment to her workplace was approximately one hour and thirty minutes drive but it felt like forever to me, immediately I got to the front desk of the hospital, I grew cold feet, what if she asks who I was? What was my answer going to be?

"Excuse me miss" the nurse at the front desk called out to me

"hi," I said awkwardly " uhm, is Georgiana in today?" I asked while she just stared at me

"Georgiana, a resident or a patient?" she asked while I stood confused for a minute

"Georgiana Goldberg," I answered finally

"You mean doctor..."

"Hello?" I turned around to see the voice that interrupted her and it was Georgiana, she was smiling brightly as she would always do, how much I missed seeing a familiar friendly face, the dark clouds under her eyes showed she was very tired and her hair put into a messy bun, a closer look on her attire, it didn't look like that of a nurse at all.

"I am doctor Georgiana Goldberg, do you perhaps have a reservation with me," she asked me, I was taken aback, Georgiana was a nurse, not a doctor.

"I did not," I said "but I will like to," I said, while she smiled brightly

"You must have been referred by somebody," she said while I nodded

"Well you are in luck I just had my last patient, if you are in a hurry I can take a look at you or you can go ahead and book a reservation if you are not ready yet"

"I will book a section," I said while she smiled yet again

"Tomorrow it is then or next," she said before walking off, what happened and how it happened I can not tell but Georgiana is a doctor!

It feels like a dream, is reality playing tricks on me now? I ended up not booking the reservation as I tried to follow her quietly.

She was just as chatty as I remembered smiling and waving at everybody, especially kids.

"Miss Auclair?" I heard somebody call it was definitely not me because I am fully covered

"Demetria" the voice called again, I was forced to turn over, he walked towards me with a cheeky smile in his well-tailored suit, the cutest boy I have ever seen

"I was so sure it was you and like I thought it really was you," he said while I stared at him confused before looking back at where Georgiana was standing before and she was no more,

"oh fuck" I said trying to run after her but she was nowhere to be found

"Why did you take off like that, you might end up drawing attention to yourself," the young man said, he had run after me too

"What do you want from me?" I asked him, maybe that wasn't what I should say but I can't let him know I have no idea who he is still like Emilia warned me to be careful

"calm down, as excepted," he said with a smile, his golden brown eyes such a beauty to behold, but I could tell he was a player with his flirtatious smile, am sure he isn't important because if he was Emilia would have shown me a picture of him

"I heard you were hospitalized, when did you get discharged?, isn't it dangerous to be out here alone?" he asked me looking around maybe to be sure if I was alone.

"We are not that close for me to let you know," I said hoping I am not making a mistake, I should have really come out with Emilia but how do I explain that am looking for Georgiana who is not in anywhere close to Demetria?

"Now you hurt my feelings, you can't still be angry with me, it's been ages already," he said

"Antonio" the voice came from exactly behind me, sending chills down my spine and forcing me to yet again turn away from the young man in front of me to come face to face with yet a handsome man, his hazel eyes piercing mine, he towered over me with an intimidating stare, he was perfection, took my breath away for a seconds, lost in his presence, as the noise in the hospital faded to the background, felt like it was just us alone in the building till his icy voice broke the silence.

"I can't be waiting for you," he said looking past me to look at the man I was initially talking to, even his voice was perfect, who is this man

"Brother, you won't believe who I came across" The cute boy who I assumed was Antonio said but this man wasn't listening, he took a final look at me and walked off knowing his friend would follow along, he seemed slightly older too.

"We will see again Miss Auclair, you know how he is," the younger said with a smile and left too.

"What just happened" I blurted out in pure bewilderment, do I know that man, what kind of breed was he breed from, to look like that even his cologne lingered as he left,

The phone in my hand began buzzing bringing me out of my hallucination,

"I am on my way now," I said immediately I picked up the phone while walking off to the garage...

Unlike the previous nights when I surfed the internet looking for what happened to the train I boarded and didn't find anything, today immediately I inputted my best friend's name, and she was right there,

"A Neurologist!" I let out in pure confusion, what in the world is happening, I know she always wanted to be a Neurologist but she ended up a nurse, this whole situation is making me crazy, could it be, what happened to me happened to her as well, I mean I was a teacher until two weeks ago, but I have a different face.

A knock came interrupting my thought, obviously, it was Emilia, she was the only person with me.

"I found your other phone," she said handing me a phone with a smile

"This is your personal handphone" I tried opening it with the same password I was told by Emilia and it unlocked, "found it in one of your handbags while sorting out your closet," she said

"Thank you," I said genuinely and without thinking, I went straight to her chats there was no Antonio,

"Do I know any Antonio?" I asked Emilia

"Antonia?" she asked with a raised brow

"Could it be Antonio, the singer?" she questioned herself, "Or the Actor?"

"Emilia" I called her name and she looked at me confused "Have a set" I motioned for her, and although reluctant she eventually sat down

"What kind of person was I before the accident?" I asked her, I needed to know to function correctly,

"You were amazing," she said with a forced smile

"Quit the pretense, I can feel the distance between us, it's almost like you can't stand me sometimes," I said while she visibly inhaled and exhaled.

"We are supposed to be friends right?" I asked her

"No, you made sure I remember my place, I wasn't your friend but your staff, an ordinary assistant that can lose her job at any inconvenience, we weren't friends, we were never friends," she said without blinking living me livid for a brief second, was Demetria that rude

"You weren't the friendliest person to be around, you looked down on people who wanted to be friends with you, your words are sharp like a razor cut and you didn't care who it would cut, not even a single care in the world, the only person who managed to be in your circle was Amber and your ex Boyfriend Carson"  I couldn't even say a word listening to Emilia, did I perhaps get reborn into the body of a villainess who treated people like dirt.

"You lacked empathy and sympathy, you did everything for your benefit, every of your movement is planned, and everybody is scared of you, nobody wants to be in your dark note that explains why everybody at the company gave you the look if it were the previous you, you would have leashed out on them"

"I was a terrible person"

"You didn't see it at that, you said you owed nobody kindness," Emilia said

"You must hate me," I said

"I used to," she said looking at me

"I used to cry at your hurtful words till slowly I began to get used to it, and you would fire me at any inconvenience then hire me back till I also got used to being fired and hired back, slowly I learned not to provoke you, you hated pretense and could tell when am pretending so I stopped pretending and we hardly had problems,"

"Even how horrible you were I couldn't get myself to quit working for you"

"Why?"

"I couldn't live you alone, your family rarely asks of you, you have no one, and the only person you had as a friend ended up being what everybody has been to you, she wasn't a friend, not even your ex-boyfriend" 

It was an awkward silence between us, as I felt a teardrop from my eyes, for the first time since this whole experience I felt something, I was a crybaby I knew about that but not even for once have I felt like crying which was strange but all of a sudden today I am crying,

"Can you forgive me?" I asked her, as I watched her smile deepen just like the first time I opened my eyes at the hospital to see how happy she was, I haven't seen those smiles ever since, til now, she nodded frantically while I pulled her in for a hug.

"I feel alone, it's suffocating me, being surrounded by things I have no familiarity with is exhausting, and I can't be in enmity with you too, you are everything I am not, a kind soul, a good human being, even after everything I did to  you, you remained by my bedside waiting for me to wake when everybody thought I couldn't make it, I am sorry for causing you pain and being a terrible person to you" I cried hugging her tight

"you paid me handsomely, and you didn't owe me kindness," she said causing a smile to leave my lips

"Can we be friends?" I asked her while she nodded with a smile, it immediately felt like a heavy thorn lifted from my heart, maybe the awkwardness between us can stop...

"you know Before, you and Amber would have worn a twin set, you were so blinded by her fake love," Emilia said picking up a set of jewels "The stylist will be here soon," she said smiling

"I suppose I will be seeing a lot of people at the party tonight, Carson would most definitely be at the party," I said somewhat exhausted already just thinking of the awkwardness, I mean I haven't been to high-class occasions but that doesn't mean I can't fit in one, I just wasn't privileged enough to be invited, I hate to say it but thanks to this situation here I am getting dolled up to an exclusive party for stars just for movie promotion.

"you just have to ignore Carson, it won't seem out of the ordinary, he doesn't matter, you weren't close to anyone to start with so ignoring everyone in the party won't be suspected I doubt they would even try to make conversations to start with, well apart from Amber, your supposed Bff"

"My life sounds very sad and peaceful"

"Well to some extent you are not lying, having lots of people that can't stand you means less drama but also means lots of rumors"

She immediately stopped talking when the stylist and makeup artist arrived while I buried my face in the phone I now call mine waiting for them to begin working on me, I went straight to the chat between Carson and Demetria, it doesn't in any way seem like a love relationship.

Constant Nagging from both sides, mostly with her asking him where on earth he is, and his constant morning text messages which ended on the day of her accident...

The car pulled up to the entrance of the venue, which means I have to let go of my team, Without Emilia by my side I feel lost but I can't sneak her in, strictly for the elite, "Just give me a call at any slight inconvenience and remember you can leave immediately you feel uncomfortable, do not leave your drink open, once you leave a table disregard the drink, avoid alcohol" Emilia listed while Williams stared at her confused

"Since when did you take my job," he said with a raised brow while leading me out the door, immediately I stepped out of the car, I was blinded by the fast flash from reporters, it came without warning making me fall back into Williams

"Are you okay?" he asked while I struggled to keep my eyes open, it didn't help that I had on a sparkling dress for the night, holding onto Williams he led me into the hall before excusing himself

"I will be waiting for you," he said before leaving, not even managers were allowed in, I stood lost looking around and from a distance, I saw him, Carson Palmer, I needed no seer to let me know, he had on a smile looking at me from the crowd around him, well Demetria did have an eye for a good thing, starting from her closet to her fleet of cars to of course her man, well ex-man, he wasn't looking away neither was I, and I could hear my own heart beating immediately I noticed he was approaching, but somehow my feet refused to move.

"Hello" a bubbly voice greeted which I was grateful for, thanks to the man in front of me, Carson stopped on his track and retreated on his tracks making me gather back my disheveled breathing, I honestly have no idea what exactly I was scared of, to be discovered?

Well finally taking a look at the young man in front of me, while I was surprised I was also grateful it wasn't somebody else

"Antonio," I said hoping to not sound so different, even forcing my expression to appear mean and arrogant

"You look nothing less than I expected, it's like your beauty outdoes itself every time I see you," he said with a smile, well he wasn't lying, looking at this face every morning makes me realize how much of a downgrade I was, Actress Demetria's beauty is really a blessing to behold, the face of a star.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him quite unsure of what I should say

"what do you mean, you are joking right?" he said smiling

"I am not joking" I followed my instincts confidently

"Well you seemed to forget my brother is the CEO of your company and I recently signed as an actor in my brother's Company which was once my uncle's company," he said

Brand new information, that is true I have no idea who owns the company I work at, in fact, I can hardly remember the name of the Director I met a few days ago and here I am standing with the CEO's brother and not even knowing.

"Don't tell me you didn't know I got signed, come on did you really stop liking him as you claimed, even if you stopped liking him that doesn't mean you should stop being friends with me"

"Liking who?" I blurted out without thinking

"Liking Raffaelle, whom you have been obsessed with for years until well six months ago" he answered with a smile looking at me, he didn't seem affected by my questions but rather thinks am doing it on purpose but truthfully I am confused.

"Oh soon you will ask me who Raffaele is, he is your CEO, whom you blatantly ignored at the hospital the other day"

I couldn't even hide the shock, "What!" I let out.
