Elisa wasn’t expecting Janet to express eagerness about their meeting.She wanted to run upstairs and meet her, but she knew Edwin wouldn’t appreciate it.So, she waited till everyone was asleep.Only Ben knew Elisa was meeting Janet secretly.Elisa slowly opened Janet’s door and, as she expected she was still awake.“Waiting for me?” Elisa asked while she slowly closed the door behind her.“Why so sneaky?” Janet couldn’t understand.“Edwin would kill me if he knew I was here,” Elisa said with a mischievous smile.“Why? Is he a violent type?” Janet was curious.“Not violet. But I am not ready for an earful. He can sometimes get too handful.” Elisa said, and Janet nodded.Even if he is, would Elisa tell her?She wasn’t expecting her to truthfully tell everything about Edwin. But Janet could take every piece of information and judge according to her.“Do you always live together? I mean your brother and husband. Don’t it get awkward?” Janet asked.“Edwin, letting me stay with him? You mu
Janet couldn’t sleep the entire night thinking about what Elisa told her.William had never informed her about her past life.She had a mother living somewhere maybe crying in her memories, and Janet was unaware of that.If she knew, wouldn’t she have returned beforehand?Janet wanted to meet her but feared disappointing her as she couldn’t remember anything.On the other hand, she was surprised to notice Elisa's confidence in her words when she talked about Edwin’s love.Did he love her this much? Was the love still alive?It’s been so long and people can change.She had noticed his care, but love and care were two different things.Janet was feeling a headache while thinking about this and wanted to drink some coffee.So, she walked downstairs.The house was silent and calm.Janet could see there were only a few lights on, maybe for security.But she somehow found the kitchen effortlessly.The same thing happened to her that day.When she opened the kitchen cabinets, she somehow kne
Edwin was silent hearing her demand, maybe trying to find out if she was joking.“What, you don’t dare?” Janet asked, making Edwin smirk.“There is nothing in this world that Edwin Wilson doesn’t dare,” Edwin said. Janet gasped when Edwin picked her up, and she could only hold his shoulder to balance herself.Edwin walked up the stairs and Edwin chuckled, thinking how she wasn’t used to these things.How many times have they done all this? It wasn’t bad to make new memories, too.“I can walk, why are you holding me like a child?” Janet wasn’t expecting her words would trigger him like this.Now she was the one lacking confidence.“Don’t worry, I won’t drop you,” Edwin said with a chuckle.When they reached their room and Edwin dropped Janet, then Janet could sigh in relief.“Get some rest, I will take the couch,” Edwin said while walking toward the bathroom.Edwin was already glad she wanted him close, he wouldn’t try his look and do something stupid.Janet didn’t know what these feel
Elisa was sitting with Janet and talking happily.It’s been a week since Elisa started telling Janet about her past.She slowly told her everything, and everything she told her was about what she and Janet used to do.Elisa wasn’t aware of how Janet and Edwin fell in love, so she would rather let Janet remember it on her own.She was telling her how they met and it was Janet who made her realize that money can also buy happiness when you make others happy.How Elisa turned into a social worker from a shopaholic princess.Elisa told her the story of her opening new facilities that can help poor people.There were two orphanages, one school, an old age home, and a hospital.Elisa also told her how Ben and she fell in love.“Is it true?” Janet was surprised after hearing her love story.“Of course. Even I can’t believe how our story started. I was so scared when Edwin directly asked me whether we were in a relationship. I admitted it impulsively and then there was a fear of how Ben would
Janet didn’t know how to stop her when Elisa was so adamant about leaving Edwin’s house.Even Ben admitted defeat over her stubbornness. Ben understood Edwin’s words had hurt Elisa, but it wasn’t the right time for them to fight.Janet was still sick, and they could only help her if they worked in unity.“Elisa, you know he didn’t mean those,” Ben was still trying his best to stop her, but she had already packed her luggage.“Elisa, don’t leave. How I will live here alone?” Janet pleaded.“I am sorry, but I can’t stay anymore.” Elisa had her self-respect.She wouldn’t stay there because she cared for him.She was hurt as he had shoved her away when she only wanted his well-being.If he wanted to be like this, Elisa didn’t want to intrude anymore.If he thinks of her nuisance, she would happily leave.She wasn’t a homeless beggar he had given shelter to.Elisa took her luggage and walked out, Janet and Ben following behind.“Elisa,” Janet called her, but Elisa stopped when she noticed
Edwin who was looking at her with his drunken look didn’t realize Janet was having an attack.But when she fell on the bed unconscious something sparked out in his brain.“Janet,” Edwin called out.He kept the bracelet back and slowly approached her.“Janet, what happened?” He pulled her head up and placed it over his lap.He became sober slowly and when he realized what he had done, guilt consumed him.How could he act so carelessly? She was sick, and he tried to make her remember her past.“Janet, wake up. Please, don’t scare me.” He slowly patted her face, but Janet wasn’t ready to wake up.Edwin picked her up and put her on the bed while calling the doctor.He was so anxious that he felt helpless, and though he wanted Elisa to stay away from Janet, he called Ben.Elisa hearing that came running.The commotion not only woke everyone in the villa; even William got some news and came to see what was going on.“How could you get so selfish? Didn’t you say you loved her? How could you
“Rebecca, you are suffocating me,” Janet didn’t expect Rebecca to hug her so tightly.But she was reluctant to leave her.“Rebecca, move back,” Edwin was worried Janet would suffer. So, he walked forward and pulled Rebecca away from her.“Doctor,” Edwin called the doctor and when Rebecca noticed him, she moved back.“Let him check her; you come with me,” Elisa said to Rebecca. Though she wanted to spend some time with Janet, she walked out.The doctor gave Janet some medicine, making her sleepy, and she fell asleep.Rebecca was sitting with everyone on the living room sofa while the doctor was treating Janet.“When did you find her? Why did no one inform me?” Rebecca was anxious.Janet was here, she didn’t know for how long and they didn’t bother to inform her once.Didn’t they know how desperately Rebecca was searching for Janet, too?“It’s almost a month. Edwin and I went on a business tour. There we found Janet,” Elisa confessed and Rebecca looked at her with a terrible expression.
The doctor had already assured Edwin that Janet's condition wouldn’t worsen if she slowly remembered her past.Despite that, they shouldn’t overdo anything as it can put pressure on her brain and she can faint like today.Her new type of amnesia was her withdrawal symptoms.She could remember everything anytime.Edwin was sitting beside Janet, holding her hand, when Janet slowly gained consciousness.One day had passed already and Janet was unconscious till evening.“You are awake?” Edwin said, smiling when Janet looked at him, but Janet noticing him touching her pulled her hand away.“Where is Rebecca?” Janet asked as she still couldn’t remember him.She even lost memory of the last few days, too. So, she was feeling unsafe with a stranger man.“She is resting in the guest room,” Edwin said and Janet nodded.She removed the cover over her and was getting off the bed but Edwin stopped her.“You should rest. I will call her here,” Edwin said and Janet agreed.She was still feeling dizz
“Hello, everyone. Welcome to the grand wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Let’s welcome the bride and congratulate them for completing 25 years together.” The announcer announced while the door opened and there the beautiful bride was standing, wearing a beautiful mermaid-style wedding gown.She was holding a bouquet of White Lily’s with both hands tightly.Janet walked forward while Eric, and his younger brother, Ezra, were escorting her to the aisles.Erica and Edith, Janet’s third child are standing beside them holding the rings.Janet’s children have grown up and even though with time they had become busy and Janet forgot about Edwin’s promise to give her a wedding, Edwin didn’t forget it.So, on their Twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, Janet was walking the aisle though her children were close to marriageable age.Janet was at first shy and denied Edwin’s idea, but Edwin was adamant and finally persuaded her somehow.“Mom, feeling nervous?” Janet’s youngest child, Ezra, whispered in J
“How are you feeling now, Elisa?” Janet asked while serving her a plate filled with food.Elisa was in her advanced days of pregnancy and with time she was feeling uncomfortable every day.“I am good,” Elisa said while taking the plate.Janet served plates for Rebecca and her and sat together.They came for a picnic in Edwin’s farmhouse where they wanted to spend some quality time.Edwin was standing with Rabecca’s husband and Ben. They were, as usual, taking about some business matter while the ladies were sitting together.Eric and Erica were running in the field as they had already finished their lunch and Rim was looking after them.Eric’s grandparents were also there and sitting in the distance while watching the children enjoying their time.“Why did you serve so little for yourself?” Elisa asked, noticing Janet’s plate.“I am not feeling well for some days,” Janet said, and this made the environment tense.“Have you informed Edwin about your condition? He will take you to the
“When did you remember everything?” They have returned home and sitting on the living room sofa.Edwin was lying on her lap while Janet was caressing his hair.The TV was turned on, but they were only busy with each other.“The day I woke up in hospital,” Janet said and Edwin stood up and looked at her with a frown.“And you are only telling me now? That’s why you were behaving abnormally?” Edwin was taken aback by her revelation.Janet knew her reason was useless, and she was worrying unnecessarily.But she had suffered a lot through these years, and she was feeling insecure when she woke up.That’s why she didn’t know whether she wanted to tell anyone about her health.“Why?” Edwin didn’t understand why she hid it for so long.It’s been a week since Edwin brought her home.Why she was telling him the truth now?“I was thinking useless things. It’s not important anymore,” Janet said but Edwin wasn’t having it.He wanted to know what was bothering her.“Nothing related to you can be u
Edwin didn’t know why Janet had returned to the same sea beach, where they had always loved to come together.They have spent the best times of their life here and those memories were precious.But she didn’t remember their marriage, so there was no way she remembered that beach.But Edwin didn’t know a big surprise was waiting for him.When he got off the car it was already the time of sunset.He ran toward the beach as Janet’s location was showing there.After walking for a while, he noticed that familiar figure he was running after.She was standing there facing the sea and her beautiful long hair was flowing beautifully in the breeze.“Janet,” Edwin called, and Janet turned to look at him.Her face looked so peaceful, and when she turned completely, Edwin noticed she was holding a red bouquet in her hand.What was she doing here, Edwin was wondering, but looking at her Edwin was feeling a distinct feeling.She was looking at him like she used to do before.Before Edwin lost her, s
Edwin didn’t expect he would find Janet unconscious when he returned.He anxiously called the doctor and this time the matter looked serious.Janet’s condition was unstable, and the doctor advised to move her to the hospital.The doctor was confused as to why her health condition deteriorated so much when they were getting good results, but they could only try their best to cure her.Elisa was taking care of the children while Edwin was anxiously waiting for any good news.The doctor took a while to come out after checking Janet and Edwin knew the news wouldn’t be good.“Mr. Wilson, her vitals are good and everything looks normal, but it was like she went into a deep sleep. You can say she was in Comma, but it was not like there was anything wrong with her health, she was just unwilling to wake up,” The doctor's explanation was confusing.“What do you want to say? When would she wake up?” Edwin was only concerned about one thing.He wanted her Janet back, even if she never remembered
Janet was sitting with her children while they were playing on the living room floor and Edwin was doing something on his laptop.“Mommy, look we have made our house,” Erica showed her the makeshift house that she made with Lego.“Beautiful,” Janet said with a smile, though the house looked anything but house.“Dad, look,” Eric called Edwin to show him his house.Eric who was always ready to get appreciation from Edwin asked for Edwin’s confirmation.Erica was always the princess of Edwin and Janet, but Eric got connected with Edwin the most and always tried to ask his opinion on every tiny thing.Maybe it was the boy's things trying to connect with his father.“Nice, just you need to…” Edwin got up from his place and sat on the floor to help him renovate his house.Erica also ran toward him to get some help and Edwin helped her to make a pink house for her doll.Everything was so perfect yet Janet didn’t know why Edwin was still keeping his distance.Edwin returned to his work after
“Do you think he is impotent?” Janet asked and Elisa almost spitted her coffee out of shock.“What the hell? Where did this thought come from?” Elisa asked laughing, and Janet frowned.“Otherwise, why won’t he touch me?” Janet asked and Elisa couldn’t stop her laughing hearing her reason.Janet and Elisa were sitting in the Wilson group cafeteria and drinking coffee when Janet started this conversation.Edwin had brought Janet to his office as promised, and Elisa was giving her company as Edwin had an important meeting.“Though I hate this conversation, I can assure you he is not,” Elisa said and Janet was confused.“Why are you so sure?” Janet asked and Elisa sighed.“Janet, are you sure you need to discuss this matter only with me? He is my brother and I shouldn’t discuss his sexual life, at least. It’s so creepy,” Elisa said with disgust and Janet understood.This conversation must be making her uncomfortable.But Janet didn’t know who to talk with other than Elisa when this matter
One month later,Edwin was slowly getting back into his usual life.He was going to the office regularly and Eric and Erica had joined a school in Sydney.Everything was getting back to normal.Eric and Erica had gotten used to their life here and though they sometimes ask about William, they weren’t as much concerned as Edwin had thought they would be.Maybe they also think of him as a replaceable part of their life, which was a relief, because he would never compromise about this matter.William was a dark chapter in their life and he made sure he would never get a way back to their life.Edwin was trying hard so that they completely forgot that horrible person.Children’s memory is limited and someday maybe they would forget someone named William existed in their life.Janet was sitting on the bed while waiting for Edwin.It’s been more than a month since she had got consciousness.Though she didn’t remember about their marriage or anything about Edwin something was bothering Janet
Edwin was sitting in his office, and Ben entered with a file.“Did you get any news?” Edwin was impatiently waiting for any clue about William.He was still in Sydney because Edwin had blocked all the airports and the bus stops for him and unless the earth had engulfed him or the sky had hidden him, he couldn’t hide for long.“Yes, he was hiding in an old abandoned building. He thought we wouldn’t find him there,” Ben said with a scoff, and Edwin laughed mockingly.“He had underestimated our power. If we weren’t that ignorant, we would have found Janet early,” Edwin was so regretful about that.He thought Chesley wouldn’t keep Janet in the country, so they neglected this part, Janet could be anywhere nearby.Only if they have searched carefully.But William wasn’t lucky this time.“Our men have taken him to the warehouse, what do you want to do? Should I call the police and inform them of his whereabouts?” Ben asked, but Edwin wasn’t ready to show him mercy.He dared to touch Edwin’s
