"What do you want from me? I have asked you hundreds of times but you only give me a cold glare." A cold smirk broke on his face, sending chills down her spine.

View MoreAs days passed, Astrid began to adapt to her surroundings. She enjoyed spending time with those around her most especially, her dear husband.He made her happy. These triggered some of her memories to return. Although they were still hazy, she could remember names. However, his name didn't seem to bring good memories to her. Most of what she could remember was her crying and feeling desperate for his attention. During those times she had those flashbacks, she distanced herself from him.She didn't understand why she would feel horrible towards someone who she loved. The thought of being betrayed again frightened her. She wanted to be with Rowan as long as possible. So instead of prying and questioning her taunting memories, she decided to bury it deep in her heart.After all he loves her and that's what matters. She thought that if she pushed the bitter memories of her past behind she would be able to live happily with him.But then, memories like that were hard to forget. “My love.
Astrid cracked up when she noticed Delilah had turned pale from her threat. She couldn't believe that she would react to it thoughtfully.“I am sorry Doc," she said, laughing in between. “What's funny?" Delilah asked still shaken from her threat.“It was a joke. I am not a horrible person to do such a thing to my doctor. You see I received treatment from a doctor who toyed with my brain, switched my medication, and made me think I was someone. I am only being cautious that the same thing won't repeat itself. Please forgive me if I startled you," Astrid muttered with an apologetic smile. She didn't mean to scare the young doctor.But then she didn't want to be fooled by anyone again. She wants to get better, heal from her wounds, learn about her husband again, and remember her memories.Doctor Delilah let out a relieved laugh feeling embarrassed that she had fallen for her patient's prank. She brushed her hair behind her ear and placed the clipboard she was holding on the mini tea tab
"Welcome, Mrs. ...um." Astrid's therapist stared at her patient's chart. She was confused about how to address Astrid since she had two last names. Rowan and Astrid had not renewed their vows after they annulled their divorce prior to the accident. Rowan had plans of rectifying that later. But for now, he wanted Astrid to feel comfortable with him and others. Seeing her struggle with the names, Astrid placed her hand on the clipboard and gently pulled it down."Call me Astrid instead," She said, easing the doctor's burden.The doctor smiled at her and offered her a seat on her fluffy white sofa. Astrid noticed the white interior design in her office especially the russian poreclain dolls that sat on a stair-like shelf."I hope you don't mind the plain colour of my office. I like the colour white," the Doctor muttered when she noticed Astrid's roaming eyes."Not at all. It's simple and lovely." She smiled."Okay, would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" The doctor asked, walking over
Traveling back to the city was one thing and relating with the people you had forgotten was a whole lot for Astrid. She got to meet her parents who couldn't thank Rowan enough for bringing her home. They shared memories with her, took her to their favorite family spots and called her best friends over. Rose and Nelson hovered around her everyday they came to visit, they never left her and made sure she was comfortable. Chef Gladine was overwhelmed to have her back and prepared all kinds of dishes to welcome her. Everything seemed new to her but they made her feel at ease especially Rowan and Noah who were at her beck and call. “No, Mommy. That's not how to make my sandwich. You put the tomatoes first before the Vegetables, I like it that way," Noah instructed, showing her how he liked his sandwich to be made. “Don't put pressure on your Mommy, Noah," Rowan cautioned as he fried some eggs and bacon for breakfast. He had an apron tied around his waist, giving him a sexy daddy appear
Hi, guys. From this chapter, Luna will be addressed by her real name, Astrid. Thank you to all of you who have been following my book diligently. Thank you. I have been overwhelmed with a lot of things happening in my life recently. Please, I need your supernatural motivational power so that I can write this book up to 100k words and publish it on A****n, then start with book two, guys.Astrid was furious, disturbed by the truth she had just learned. The reason for \Scott's actions remained unknown to her. For two good years, the life she was living was a lie. Her memories were still hazy, but then she felt safe around Rowan, connected to him more than she had been with Scott.Especially with the little child sleeping in her arms. They were on the road, driving away from the base. Noah was excited to know that she was leaving with them. Rowan tried not to ask her questions about the situation. He knew she had confronted Scott because he had orchestrated it himself, used Victoria to rev
CHAPTER 85Everything was getting sick and tiring for Luna to bear. She didn't even know who to believe in anymore.She couldn't fathom the reason why it was so hard for her to live without getting sabotaged, bullied, or lied to.After she returned from her morning exercise, she went on to ask her doctor about her health and pressured him for answers.“Please forgive me, Miss Everhart. I tried to take him out of it. But he refused and threatened to harm my family if I didn't comply," the doctor begged, but Luna paid no heed to his cries.She stared at the result she was holding, squeezing a part of it with rage.“You don't deserve to be a doctor. Lying to your patient and falsifying her medication just because of your selfish interest," she muttered through gritted teeth.She trusted him with her health and believed his lies but got stabbed in the back.“You just ruined a person's life. So remember that I will destroy yours, Doctor," She threatened before walking out of his office.Af
Panting through the woods, Luna ran her morning laps. The sun was yet to rise, and the morning breeze was still chilly and moist. Most of the mountain parts were covered in mist. However, the dewy atmosphere was clearer than her foggy brain. After that intense make-out session with Rowan yesterday, her mind refused to return to the present. She kept reliving the hot sensation of his hands on her body, his blazing kisses, and his adoring words. She was overwhelmed and confused about what to believe.Two men with different personalities. One is a liar, and the other is unpredictable.She couldn't think of the words to describe Rowan. All that she could think of was how he made her feel. Which felt so wrong. She shouldn't feel that way, not with a man, not her husband. But the question is, who exactly is her husband?Taking a break against a boulder, she reached for her water bottle strapped to her joggers but found nothing. She let out a hiss, cussing under her breath for being absent-mi
A groan escaped from Rowan's throat as Luna kissed him. Their devastating attraction for each other finally played out as they merged their lips. Their tongues played a game of tag, deepening their kiss to a fiery intensity that burned their senses.Luna fought against her control, but each time Rowan struck his fingers on her bare back, an uncontrollable fire ignited within her, causing her to desire more of him."This is wrong." She muttered breathlessly as she kissed him hard, bringing her body forward."No, love. "You are only reclaiming what rightfully belongs to you," Rowan mumbled inside her mouth, kissing her fiercely as his life depended on it.It had been so long since he last tasted her and now that they were acting on their desires, he dared not to miss the opportunity. He slipped his hands under her black top, caressing her skin with a needy urge to rip the cloth off her body.Thrilled by his sensual touch, Luna leaned forward, wanting more of his fiery hands. She gaped as
The next day, the sky poured down its shower as a morning greeting to everyone at the base. Everything has to pause for the time being due to the heavy rain. While some who could stand the heavy pour, went on their usual morning run. Luna was still stuck in her bed but not asleep. She couldn't even blink an eye last night after what happened between her and Scott or Rowan. The both men flooded her thoughts, confusing her with their unfamiliar behavior. First, Rowan acted like he knew her more than anyone. The way he teased her and made her feel so attracted to him was something she could not understand. Second, Scott is her husband, she could feel his possessiveness over her but not in his words. Whenever she was with him, she felt nothing but uneasy. But doesn't that mean that she feels something for him as well?All these thoughts pondered her brain, making it impossible for her to get a wink of sleep.As she tries to clear off her clouded mind and utilize the opportunity of the
Bustling with happiness and excitement, Astrid prepared her husband's favorite snack. She was informed this morning about his return from the two months business trip he went on. Her heart was filled with melody as she swayed her hips to the rhythm of the song she was humming. It was still seven in the morning and the workers were beginning to arrive for work. The first to return was the head chef, she was surprised to see the madam in the kitchen joyfully preparing a snack. Once Astrid noticed her presence, she turned around with a beautiful smile. "Good morning, chef Gladline," she greeted, her voice soft as a Harp . The elderly woman felt blessed by her pretty smile and responded to her greeting happily. "Good morning, madam." "Oh, Chef Gladline, how many times have I told you not to call me madam? Just say my name," Astrid playfully reminded her and the chef took corrections.
