ChapterA few days later in the house at the Himalayas, Mark feels immeasurably blessed as the days get closer to the wedding.The man in question straightens from his reclining position, slowly getting to his feet from the chaise lounge he was sitting in.It's already noon and Mark wants to see Leia. It's ridiculous how much he can Miss someone who is barely five kilometres away.'She's just in therapy. Get a grip on yourself.' But even as he scolds himself he still heads to the entrance that would lead him to where Leia and her doctor are.Leia's therapy session is taking place in a tranquil room overlooking the breathtaking expanse of the Himalayas.The soft sound of flowing water from an indoor fountain created a soothing ambience. Mark takes a second to bask in the serenity of it all before moving towards Leia who is beside the pool.He hides himself behind one of the pillars and drinks his fill of the woman. His eyes rake over her bathing suit-clad frame and linger on her wet
The night was calm as Mark and Leia drifted off to sleep, their bodies warm and tucked into the warmth of the sheets.It had been a little awkward at the beginning minutes of the night to find a position that was comfortable for both of them but the couple managed it with little fuss.The soft moonlight spills into the room, casting a gentle glow on their peaceful faces. Soft snores and breathing lingers in the room, filling it with serenity. But as the hours passed, an unexpected turn of events was about to disrupt the tranquillity.In the dead of the night, Leia's eyes flutter open. The lifeless eyes were directed at the ceiling until the woman lifted herself from the pile of sheets wrapped around her body. She seems impervious to the cool air that washes across her bare arms, raising goosebumps along her flesh. With a blank expression, she clumsily tugs the blankets from her legs and slowly rises from the bed.Leia stumbles as her bare feet hit the cold floor, her steps tethering b
Chapter"Leia.." Mark whispers with dread filling his being. He can do nothing but watch as the woman drags her fingers over the dress, now free of the extra lace that hid its resemblance to her former gown.Mark felt a knot form in his stomach. He had hoped that Leia's amnesia was a clean slate, a chance for them to build new memories together. To let her forget her last and keep her here with him. But now, with her memories resurfacing in this unexpected way, he knew that the past could come crashing back into their present.He swallows, his throat feeling suddenly parched."Hgn.."He is broken out of his thoughts when he hears the sound of a tiny whimper. The Man snaps his eyes to Leia's face and watches with disbelief as she clutches at her head."Leia?." He says tentatively, watching with bated breath as she squints her eyes at him.She's awake, Mark thinks, elated even as his stomach sinks.'I wonder if she remembers anything.' he thinks frantically Leia groans again, her hands
A day later, Mark sat Leia down in their living room, holding her hands gently. "Leia, I have something to tell you."She looks at him, a mix of curiosity and concern in her eyes. "What is it, Mark?"He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. "I noticed that your wedding dress has a few more issues. So I sent it in for some minor amendments," he explains with a small frown.Leia gapes at him in surprise. "What! What happened to my wedding dress?!." She yells with a strained voice.Mark brushes his thumb across her knuckles to calm her down."It's nothing much. Just a few loose threads." He assures her.Leia breathes a sigh of relief at this, her eyes falling shut."Oh thank goodness. I'm so glad it's not that big of an issue." She says before looking up at the man, an impish grin on her face."For a moment there I thought my dress was destroyed." She says with a small chuckle.Mark feels his back stiffen in apprehension even as he forces himself to chuckle at her words."Well
"She's almost seven months pregnant! How could she escape from full-grown men!." Mark shouts into the phone, his rage increasing at the incompetence of his staff."We- we-were so very sorry sir." The voice on the line stammers. Mark was sure that the man was probably pissing himself where he stands.Mark scoffs In derision. "You will be." He promises darkly before hanging up. He presses his hands to his aching temple, his thoughts whirling around in his brain at breakneck speed.Rebecca has escaped and at this rate, he knows that she won't come back and by now it's probably too late for an abortion."Damnit!." He curses before throwing his phone at the wall. The screen cracks before breaking into little pieces but he gives no thought to that right now.His mind races as he tries to process the implications of the information. The maid they had been searching for, the one who had abruptly left after Leia's accident, was still pregnant and on the run. Mark's heart sank at the realisati
Leia knows that something is wrong from the moment Mark steps into the room.She swallows as she takes a look at his strained expression.Leia's heart races as Mark silently approaches her. "Leia," he begins, his voice lacking the confidence he was known for, "I know we were supposed to get married in four days, but I think it would be better if we pushed the wedding forward a bit."Leia's eyes widened in surprise. "Pushed forward? But why, Mark? Everything's been planned for today." She says incredulously.Mark takes a deep breath, looking into her eyes earnestly. "Leia, I've been talking to the doctors, and they think it would be better for you to take your medicine a little longer before the wedding. It's for your good. We want you to feel your best on our special day." He says gently, his hand lifting to brush along her cheek.Leia's shoulders slump slightly at the thought of her medication. She understood Mark's concern but She didn't see he needed to take it. To her, she was p
The doctor's voice on the other end of the line was calm, but Mark sensed a hint of confusion. "I see. This is certainly unusual. Her subconscious mind may be resisting the medication, causing these episodes. Her emotional state might be exacerbating the situation."Mark's frustration is palpable. "But doctor, She's been taking the medication as prescribed. How can her subconscious be fighting it?"The doctor sighs softly, if a bit shakily. "Sometimes, the mind can react in unexpected ways. Stress, anxiety, and even subconscious fears can play a role. I know this is incredibly challenging, but we might need to adjust the treatment plan."Mark's patience was wearing thin. "I can't see her like this anymore, doctor. I can't keep watching her suffer. We were supposed to get married today, and now I don't even know when she'll be well enough for that."There was a pause on the other end of the line, and the doctor's tone shifted. "I understand your frustration, Mark. It's a difficult sit
The joyous atmosphere that had enveloped the wedding vanished in an instant, replaced by tension and uncertainty. Guests whispered among themselves as Mark paced frantically by Leia's side, his heart heavy with worry.While he was distracted someone must have called the hospital because, Within moments, the venue buzzed with activity. Medical professionals rush to Leia's side, assessing her condition. The officiant, now flustered, tries to explain the situation to the bewildered guests.As the doctor examines Leia, Mark's patience wears thin. "What's happening? Why did she collapse?" he demands, his voice trembling with anger.The doctor, a middle-aged woman with a calm demeanour, met Mark's gaze. "We're trying to figure that out, Mr. Johnson. It's important to stay calm."Mark's fists clenched, his knuckles turning white. "Stay calm? How can I stay calm when the woman I'm about to marry is lying unconscious?" His voice wavered, desperation creeping into his tone. "If she doesn't wak
