"Leah, I'll explain everything..."
Suddenly, Adrian took Leah's wrist and bring her to their bedroom. As the door shut, the sounds of people talking and laughing were gone. Leah took her hand off Adrian and moved quickly to the giant glass that the curtain was wide open. She could see the hustle and bustle of Manhattan below her."What do you want to know?" asked Adrian, somehow Leah could hear the fatigue in his tone that made her offended. She turned her body, "You make it sounds like I'm the one who brought the problem here!"Adrian rubbed his face, he exhaled violently, "Leah, come on! Please, don't make it difficult for me, the only reason I hid that fact was that I don't want you to be reacting this way! You'll be too sensitive and jealous without a reason," he said. Leah snorted, "So now it's officially my fault? Perfect! I know exactly that the past is past! But I demanded your honesty! Talking about jealousy, even you acted that way every time you sawLoud applause greeted Leah as she walked into the studio. She sat across the host in her beautiful black dress. She felt a little bit nervous, but she could handle the situation.The host lifted her hand, made the audience silent. "Leah Parker, first, I would like to thank you personally because you dare to write your story to the world through your novel, I read it by the way, and it's just very mind-blowing!" said the host which was a beautiful middle-aged woman named Katherine. Leah smiled, she put her hand on her chest and mumbled, "Thank you, Kate," in a whisper."So as we know this book is a novel which written base on a true story of the author herself, my question is, how do you manage to stay alive after all those horrible things your ex-husband did to you? I mean, even before this novel launched everyone in the U.S. might already hear the news about your experience, we know how miserable your life was..." asked the host, Leah could hear empa
Right before her eyes, Suzy, Luke, Donna, Mandy, Henry, Esmee, Vivian, Charlie, Mia, Granny, Kate, and even all the people from the publishing company came to surprised her."Oh my God, you guys are the best!" whispered Leah, teary."Owwww, come here!" Vivian moved forward to hug her. She turned her gaze to Adrian who grinned widely to see her wife cried happily.*****"So he won?!" yelled Mia when Leah told her the story about that rock, paper, scissors game that she and Adrian played at the Dr. Philips clinic. Leah nodded, "Yeah, so, I have to wait till the delivery to know the gender," said Leah lightly. Mia chuckled.Suddenly their gaze bumped into Suzy and Luke who were looked very romantic, Leah felt bad for Mia, but she knew Luke would never like Mia. Luke hated rich people."How do you feel about that guy right there?" asked Leah, moved her chin to where Luke was standing. Mia snorted, "At first I'm in pain, but now
A nurse in a white uniform was about to change a bag of intravenous fluids when she accidentally noticed the slow motion of a patient's finger, which had been lying there for almost two months. That patient's name was Leah Abigail.Leah opened her eyes slowly, dazzled. It took a few minutes before she finally got used to the light that dazzled her eyes.The scent of lavender poured into Leah's sense of smell. She looked around—a large room, a heart monitor, an IV pole—as if she were in a hospital. Leah couldn't remember anything. Everything felt empty in her head. Shortly thereafter, a middle-aged male doctor appeared along with two nurses and a young doctor. They smiled at her while she was staring at them with a hollow gaze."Wow, it's a miracle!" exclaimed the middle-aged doctor named Theo in a friendly manner. He was checking Leah's bodily functions from head to toe, and a nurse recorded the doctor's remarks on a clipboard with quick movements.After that, Dr. Theo stood beside her
3 Days Later,"Hi Leah, how are you doing?" Suddenly Jerome appeared in Leah's room carrying a bouquet of red roses that looked very beautiful. The red roses that Jerome brought were beautiful, but indeed, Leah prefers Carnations. Could it be that Leah's taste had changed?"Thank you," said Leah while receiving flowers from Jerome. "How are you?" asked Jerome, his eyes staring at Leah with his warm gaze. Leah shrugged and shook her head, "I still don't remember anything, everything is stuck in 2016," replied her. She felt empty now."It's okay Leah, I'll try to help you slowly restore your memories," Jerome said softly. Leah nodded, she secretly studied the character of the man in front of her. Jerome looks very perfectionist and somehow Leah gets a narcissistic impression on Jerome, who is far from Leah's ideal type, well at least the old Leah used to think that way."The doctor said your body and head scans
"Honey, wake up," a soft voice evoked Leah's deep sleep. Leah opened her heavy eyes, she sat up immediately when she found Jerome standing with a half bent over her face."What the hell are you doing ?!" Leah yelled in a slightly defensive tone. She pulled off the blanket and covered herself tightly. Jerome looked surprised, "I just wanted to wake you up, it's dinner time," replied Jerome in a slightly annoyed tone.Leah stuttered, "Sorry, I'm not used to it. If you don't mind, you should start knocking on the door first before entering this room, I feel a little uncomfortable ..." Leah said frankly.She did want to try to accept the facts of her marriage to Jerome, but everything needed a process. Leah had to digest it all slowly.Jerome shrugged, "Well, if that's what you want. Okay, next time I'll knock on the door before I go into your room," Jerome said, his face grim. Leah felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry Jero
A woman with a luxurious appearance half ran and embrace Leah warmly. "So glad to have you back Leah!" She exclaimed cheerfully. Leah smiled awkwardly, this person must be Amy, last night, Jerome had mentioned her name and said that Amy was quite close to Leah."You must have forgotten me, right? I'm Amy, we are close friends!" exclaimed Amy while grabbing Leah's hand. Leah nodded, "Yeah, last night Jerome said that too..." said Leah who didn't remember anything about Amy."Sorry, do you have a picture of us together?" asked Leah, still a little doubtful about their friendship. Judging from her appearance, Amy was not the type to be Leah's best friend at all."Of course I have, wait," Amy quickly opened her expensive bag and took out the cell phone. She searched the gallery for photos of herself and Leah on her cellphone. "Well here it is!" snapped Amy, showing a picture of them smiling at the camera. To be honest Leah looked more l
"Remember Leah, don't trust anyone easily! You have a lot of enemies there," said Jerome before dropping Leah down in the lobby of the VICAR tower. Leah smiled and nodded slowly only to make Jerome stop saying the same sentence he had repeated many times since this morning."Call me if you want to go home, I'll tell Tom to pick you up later," added Jerome, somehow Leah caught the tense expression on Jerome's face. Was he worried about Leah that much? Or he is just afraid that Leah will get new information in VICAR? Now it felt like suspecting everyone was quite normal to Leah.VICAR is a large investment company that already has a good reputation internationally. Even the funds managed by VICAR already up to $ 5000 billion. A very fantastic amount that makes VICAR the largest investment company in the world.Leah stood in the busy lobby of the VICAR tower with an uncertain feeling. People seemed to be passing by in neat suits. Some
Leah walked down the sidewalk in a slight daze. The base of her leg started to hurt because of the stilettos she was wearing. When she found a lawn chair, Leah stepped aside and sat down. She bent over to examine her leg, there was a small, bleeding wound there. Leah's frowned, usually the shoes that caused this kind of injury were the new ones.Suddenly Leah remembered that everything in her wardrobe looked like brand new stuff, she could tell by the smell of them. A question mark and big suspicion began to appear again in Leah's mind, especially since she heard the latest facts from Adrian. Could it be that Jerome was manipulating her?Before Leah had time to get up and look for a taxi, a sudden downpour of rain-drenched Leah's body entirely. Leah hugged herself, feeling completely miserable. Why did everything feel so messed up, who should she believe?"I told you not to trust anyone, lots of people are happy to mess up your mind
