Molly’s POV…

My eyelids are so heavy. I try but can't open my eyes. Someone appears to be pulling my eyelids down. My head is also heavy. I have the distinct impression that a sack of bricks has been placed over my head. I wince and move a little. The tightness around my limbs causes me to frown.

I forcefully open my eyes and am terrified to discover that I am tied to a chair.

"Again? No…" I grumble and wriggle to break free. But my struggles are all futile.

I cannot understand how I ended up in this situation. I was on my way home, excited at the prospect of meeting Lance soon. Then how did I come here?

As I mull it over, I remember our car losing control all of a sudden and zigzagging across the wide road. The driver pulled the brakes, saving us from a major collision. He got out of the car to investigate what had happened.

Two motorbikes rushed over out of the blue and threw something inside the car. A cloud of white smoke spread in an instant, and I passed out soon.

It turned out

    Lance’s POV…Anger sparks within me the moment I notice Edward’s car rolling in through the gate. My fists tighten on the sides. I scrunch up my face and hurried over.The car stops on the side of the driveway, and Edward jumps out. I charge over and punch him in the face.Edward staggers a little. He tilts his head as he looks at me, wiping the blood from his nose. He has a smirk on his face, which irritates me even more."This is not the time to fight, Lance. Let’s go rescue Molly first."I only clench my teeth. I swear I would have thrashed him more if I had not been in a hurry. Right now, my priority is Molly. I want to reach her before Ruby can hurt her.We get into the car, and Edward takes the wheel. My men are following us in two cars.Several minutes later…Edward abruptly applies the brakes in the middle of an empty road.I look around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Thorny shrubs cover both sides of the road. No one is around. I take a quick look at the two cars behind us.

    Inside the doctor’s chamber…"What is going on, doctor? She was talking about an incident that happened three years ago. Why is she saying she doesn’t remember anything after that?"I am so anxious that my fingertips turn cold."I can't say anything for certain. I need to conduct some additional tests. As of now, it looks like she is suffering from partial memory loss. She cannot remember a thing that happened in the past three years. Again, I need to examine her before I give the final report."I suddenly feel heaviness in my stomach. My skin tingles with discomfort.‘Partial memory loss!’ I am in a state of stupor.Molly doesn’t remember anything that happened in the past three years. That means, she doesn’t remember how we reconciled or how we were happy with each other. She still thinks I don’t love her."But, but… she is pregnant. Does she forget about that too?""Quite possible.""N-No… H-How can she forget about our baby? This is not true, right?""Mr. Stevens… Take it easy. He

    I blink the tears away but cannot stop my voice from shaking. "You are saying he is concerned for me. He just left. He is not considering sitting beside me and checking if I am okay.""He is distressed," she murmurs. "I have seen how worried he was. He has changed. Lance is no longer the Lance you know.""You are saying this! Daisy… You always told me to distance myself from Lance. Now you are taking his side! Are you for real?"I look at her skeptically, wondering what causes her to change her opinion of Lance so abruptly. My head hurts, but I cannot stop talking."Have you forgotten about his and Ruby’s relationship? Are you asking me to forget everything and take him back just because he is distressed after seeing me like this? I wouldn’t have been in this condition if he had shown little care for me. He pushed me to the point of deciding to go away from here.""Molly… You need to calm down now. Your injuries have not healed yet. Don’t stress yourself."Her skin is becoming paler.

    Molly’s POV…I wake up from my slumber when I hear Lance and Daisy conversing. Daisy's pleasant conversation with Lance astounded me. She appears to have no issues with him. Her enraged remarks about him appeared to be phony. That means she has been pretending to be upset and angry with him all these days.I am distressed.My best friend actually turned out to be his good friend. She is supporting him, consoling him, and asking about Ruby.This is unexpected from her side. I cannot digest the whole thing. Anger is coiling inside my tummy. I curl my fingers and clasp the bedspread.I am disappointed with Lance, but I am furious with Daisy. She advised me to take the job offer and go to Boston. In reality, she was helping Lance and Ruby get back together, sending me away from here.I was about to chide her when I heard Lance say, "I don’t want to leave her alone. I am scared."I am stunned yet again. Am I hearing things because of the head injury?Lance is scared of losing me! Isn’t it

Bad premonitions hit my heart.I quickly get the phone and swipe the screen."Yes…""Lance… Come quickly."The air leaves my lungs when I hear her panicked voice. "What is going on there?" I ask as I rush into the closet."Molly passed out. Her heartbeat was dropping. It is stable now. But she is not waking up. The doctors are attending to her. They are not allowing me to enter the ward. I am scared, Lance.""I am coming."I quickly change my clothes and hurry out. The tightness in my chest is causing my breathing to be short and fast. I jump into the car and drive straight to the hospital.A sheen of sweat forms on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. I am jittery. I am driving faster than usual, but the speed seems not to be enough. I wish I could reach her right now.I finally drive into the hospital parking area several minutes later. After parking the car, I jump out and dashed in.Daisy

    I am stunned. "What? Why would I force you? How do you come to think that way? We made love to each other.""Don’t lie," she yells, and the next minute she grimaces, wailing."Are you okay? I am so sorry. I shouldn’t have kept talking to you." I cup her face, looking at her gauze-wrapped head. I am not sure what to do. "Relax. Take a deep breath."I fill my lungs with air and then exhale loudly.She scowls at me. "Are you attempting to comfort me? Or are you just trying to relax?""What? Erm… No… I am… ahem… stop talking, okay?" I am at a loss for words but will try to show her my annoyance. "You should relax. It is good for you and the baby. Close your eyes now."She decides not to obey me and keeps glaring at me."I will ask the doctor to give you a sedative if you don’t sleep," I warn her."You, moron," she frets, clenching her teeth.

    I furrow my eyebrows. I have never seen this man before. But his words indicate that we have already met. In the last three years, a lot has happened. Unfortunately, I have no recollection.At first, I hesitated a little before taking his hand. Then I thought I couldn’t be impolite to him."Hello, Mr. Brookes." I shake hands. "Sorry, I cannot remember you.""Uh… There is nothing much to remember about me," he says casually. "I don’t mind if you cannot remember me. We will create a new memory." He glances at Daisy, who rolls her eyes and turns aside.I frown, assuming Daisy has some issues with this man."But, but… you need to remember everything," he says, looking back at me. "Specifically about Lance.""Lance, are you guys intending to keep standing there?" Daisy snaps. "Call the manager and ask to serve the food. I am starving."She rolls her eyes and goes back to the table. She sits down beside Adam.I am taken aback. Daisy looks quite comfortable with Adam.‘Are they seeing each o

    I am somewhat taken aback as I notice the quick change in her expression. Then I realize her distress is because of what Edward did to me."Look, I have nothing against Edward." I hurriedly try to explain. "What he did is undoubtedly wrong. But it is also true that he kept me safe from Ruby’s torture. He had some misunderstandings. The moment he realized his mistakes, he released me. So, don’t be sad. Okay?"Daisy has a bitter smile on her face. Honestly, that smile doesn’t look good on her. If I had not been injured, I would have held her hands and comforted her.I can only say, "He is not perfect. But he is not bad either.""I know," I hear her say when I am about to say more. "I know him well. I am not sad because of him. Basically, it was not his fault. He was only looking for the woman he had a crazy one-night stand with. It was me who was trying to hide from him. It was I who remained silent when I realized he had mistaken you for me. I could have told you everything, but I didn

I will deal with this bitch later, and I swear, I will teach her a good lesson."Take her to the dungeon," I command. "Make sure you will treat her well."Treating her well entails not allowing her to sit quietly, and the guards understand exactly what I mean.I turn to leave."Lance…"I pause at the doorstep and look back at her."Don’t be so cruel. It is me, Ruby. I love you, Lance. Whatever I did was for you. All I want is to be with you. Please, don’t let them take me away. Consider the time we spent together. You like me. Didn't you say you would always look after me? Didn’t you say you would be grateful to me forever for saving your life? You cannot forget your promises. Please, Lance. I beg you. Take me back. I swear, I will not hurt Molly."I glare at her. I can see right through her mind. How pretentious she is. She is capable of outperforming Oskar-winning actres

    I dodge the attack and turn swiftly aside, pushing her away.Ruby stumbles, the knife slipping out of her grip.Before she can get on her feet, I pick up the stool and throw it at her. The stool collides with her back as she attempts to stand up.I don’t have time to check if she is able to stand up or pick up the knife. I turn around and flee to the door. It is shocking that I cannot open the door. I twist the knob again and again, but I can’t unlock it.What the hell is going on? Did the lock get jammed?I still try to unlock the door, twisting the knob repeatedly."Hahaha…" Ruby’s laughter resonates inside the room.I freeze and turn to face her."Oh, Molly… you are too naïve," she says between the laughs. "Do you think I am also stupid like you?" She gets to her feet, her expression darkening. "I won’t come here without preparation, risking my life. I have been waiting for this day to meet you again face-to-face. And it is the best day to kill you on your wedding day."She bends a

    A month later…Molly’s POV…This is our wedding day. It is a grand wedding that any woman will dream of. The hall, which is decorated with various flowers, is packed with guests. The media is also present.I have a feeling that I have suddenly become a celebrity. My wedding gown is designed by a well-known designer. It looks so pretty.It is a strapless ball gown that fits snugly around my breasts and widens from the waist, hiding my slightly protruding belly.After holding my hair in a messy bun, the makeup artist completes my makeover.I check myself in the mirror and smile shyly."You are glowing," the makeup artist says. "Mr. Stevens will not be able to look away from you today."I blush to hear her compliment."My bestie is the prettiest one," Daisy chimes in as she walks into the powder room. She inspects me, holding my shoulders. "You look gorgeous. Your and Lance’s photos are going to make headlines tomorrow.""Has the groom arrived?" The makeup artist asks, beaming with a smi

    Lance returns after some time. I am relieved to see his wound is properly bandaged."We are heading to the restaurant for dinner," says Edward. "Are you coming?""No." Lance denies his offer, his gaze lingering on me. "I will ask the room service to deliver the food here.""As you see fit. Shall we go?" Edward nods at Daisy.Daisy hugs me and whispers in my ear, "Enjoy your meal with your husband, and let me enjoy my boyfriend’s company."I smile in response.They walk out. Now, I and Lance are alone in the room. We continue to stare at each other silently.Lance has told me many things today. He has been honest with me. He has cleared many doubts in my mind. I now know that he genuinely loves me. I also understood why he always took care of Ruby.He was only trying to repay her favor.Favor?I am still perplexed as to when Ruby saved him and how. I cannot help but say, "I’d like to know how she saved you.""I will tell you everything." Lance holds my hand and takes me to the bed. "It

    Lance’s POV…My heart aches when I recall Molly’s sad look that evening. I was confused and apprehensive at the time and couldn’t reveal it to her. I wanted some time to think about it before concluding anything. So, I didn’t tell Molly anything about it when she asked me.That was another mistake I had made. However, I don’t want to repeat the mistake, so I decide to disclose everything to her."The doctors said that there were some complications in her pregnancy, and the fetus was weak. He recommended bed rest. Ruby often called me while I was at work and cried a lot, saying she feared her baby would suffer from cancer just like she did. I pitied her and used to go to her to console her."I pause when I notice her suspicious look. I know exactly what she is thinking. I clasp her hands. "Believe me, I only intended to console her. I owe her this life. She saved me once.""She saved you!" she exclaims, a look of disbelief spreading across her face.I nod. "Yes. I am taking care of her

    I cannot stop crying. I feel so guilty.Out of anger, I came so far away and put myself in danger. Because of me, Lance got hurt. I shouldn’t have acted impulsively. I could have stayed at the resort and questioned him."Sorry." I apologize to him again."Stop crying," he consoles me. "Listen up. The rain is getting heavy. We need to take shelter somewhere."I don’t know how far the village is from here. Since it is getting dark and raining, nothing is clearly visible. Furthermore, I don’t know how the people will be. As I look down at the three people lying motionless on the ground, I cannot help but shudder.I don’t want to put my trust in the villagers. I’d better head to the next bus stop."There…" Lance pointed to the right. "I can see a building there. Let’s go."I also spot a building-like structure in that direction. But I am reluctant to go there. I tug on his wrist and stop him."I'm not sure what danger lurks there. What if we come across more goons like these?" I nodded to

The driver asks me to get down since it is the last stop.I hesitantly get off the bus and take a look around. The area is deserted and looks scary. I don’t know where to go. At this moment, I regret acting recklessly. I shouldn’t have come so far away from the resort.It is started drizzling now. I have to get to the bus stop shed quickly. I take my phone from my purse, thinking to call Daisy."Oh!"I am stunned and disappointed at the same time when I see no signal on the phone.I dejectedly sit down on the bench and look at the road dazedly, hoping the next bus will come soon.Maybe a taxi.I remember Lance running after the bus. I wonder if he is still looking for me."Will he come here looking for me?" I murmur in a trance."Are you waiting for the bus?"I almost jump when I hear a husky voice.Three men are coming toward me, smiling vilely.I immediately know I am in danger. I stand up

    "Molly, you are getting it wrong," he says. His nervousness is clear in his demeanor.Why is he so nervous if he has done nothing wrong? What is he trying to hide?I scowl at him suspiciously."Yes, she was here. Believe me, I didn’t call her. She came here on her own." He comes in closer and holds my hands."And you met her secretly," I add, my heart tearing apart.He hangs his head down and nods slowly."Why?" I snarl, withdrawing my hands. My fingers are shaking in rage. My insides are clenching in agony. I get emotional, and I cannot say a word.All the bitter memories from the past rush into my mind, making me feel that he can never forget Ruby. He always preferred her and rushed to her whenever she called him. I am sure he might have done the same thing."I met her because she was depressed. She was…""Depressed?" I scoff before he can finish speaking. "She is always depressed… pitiful. You always go to her. Why, Lance? If she needed you, I wouldn't have stopped you from going t
