Chapter 40: All connected

Charlotte’s pov

No answers, all this running around, and still no answers.

“You shouldn’t lose patience so soon,” Sebastian said, and I looked at him.

“I am not losing patience; I am losing hope” I replied and sat down in my office.

“Why are you here?” I asked him and he sat down as well.

“Everything has been indicating that the answers are in your past. I am your past; I am where it all started” he said, and I nodded.

I know that more than anyone but why is he telling me?

“There is one person in this world who might have the answers” he added.

Who?

He doesn’t know much except for the love story he told me about.

Not that I don’t believe him, I don’t think he is lying.

But I do think that Scarlet hid a lot of things from him, which is why he doesn’t have the answers.

I know he doesn’t know much about the blood mark so who else would?

“You do, you know everything and only you can find the solution to this” he answered.

“I know that, but for the past few years I have been trying to regain all my memories but no luck,” I said to him.

Actually, what I told him was merely a brief of what my father and I did.

We used all the memory spells we could find, all the portions we could concoct.

And every time nothing worked, no matter how hard we tried nothing worked.

It was as if my memories were locked away and someone else had the key.

Or that person might have thrown the key away.

As for Sebastian, he doesn’t even know for sure who casted the blood mark.

“You haven’t tried everything; I know a way,” he said, and I looked at him.

“I am listening,” I said, and he smirked.

“We can do all the things we did back then, they will surely revive your memory,” he said and winked.

For some reason I found myself blushing a little at this.

I don’t remember at all but for some reason his words made me blush.

I looked at him, “keep talking, but get your head out of the gutter” I said, and he nodded.

“There are things that we liked doing back in the day. The food you liked, so If we do that then maybe your memories will slowly come back” he said firmly.

After I agreed to his plan he left and a few hours later an Alpha Prince walked into my office.

Royalty is surrounding me on both sides, is this life a curse?

“I want to talk to you about something,” he said, and I gestured that he sits down.

He is hiding something from me, I don’t know how but I can see it in his face somehow.

Like there is something he didn’t tell me, it’s been like that since that day.

After that, he didn’t even let me use the link to look into the old memories.

I found nothing useful there except for the fact that I had the same feeling even then.

Even then I felt like he was hiding something, I mean that Reene had that feeling.

As if he was hiding something big like he had questions of his own and was looking for answers.

But what?

“I think I can help you remember the past, you said that you must have created the link because you remembered something important right?” he asked me, and I nodded.

I can’t think of another reason why I would do such a thing.

 I knew back then before I died that I had a cursed fate.

If I truly loved Ryder, and I know that I did love him back then because I could feel the love in Reene’s memories.

It was only a few memories, but I felt their connection, Reene really loved him deeply.

So, she wouldn’t want to tie him to her who is cursed to run and die young.

The only reason that could make sense is that I found out something before I died.

 Why else would I do something like that to someone I love?

Tie him to me knowing very well the results that would wield.

I wasn’t that heartless back then, right? Or was I?

“What if we spent time together? then maybe your memories will return slowly” he suggested, and I smiled.

“Well, I guess great minds think alike, Sebastian also got that idea,” I said to him.

He frowned, “why? We are sure that it’s connected to my past and not his,” he said, and I shrugged.

“But whatever I remembered in your past probably has something to do with his past. It’s all connected you see” I said, and he sighed.

Everything so far seems to be connected but how?

How is Logan connected to all of this?

I mean he is connected to Reene but how is Logan connected to Scarlet?

Is there a connection there or does it end only at Reene?

Does it begin with Reene and is it supposed to end with me?

I don’t know but I feel like I have been planning something all this time.

From what Sebastian told me about me, the Scarlet me is that I am a planner.

Somehow I was led here, somehow even Logan and Sebastian are both here.

They are people I now know for sure that I shared a past with.

“So, what do you say? I saw that you, I mean Reene and Ryder liked painting. Do you want to paint with me?” he asked me, and I smiled.

“Why not?” I replied and he gave me a big smile.

I need to find answers no matter what, if this is the only way then I don’t mind doing this.

I know that it might hurt both of them because I know the real reason they are trying to help me.

They are hoping that I will fall in love with them in the process.

I know its selfish for me to do this knowing very well the results, but what else can do?

This is the only way, I cant think of another way, can you?
