Damon. I opened the door, and seeing Elysia shake with nervousness made me feel funny. It was strange seeing her want to make an impression on the same people who hate her guts. I didn't have the mind to tell her that she was wasting her time and it was never going to work out between her and my parents. That relationship sailed a long time ago, I figured it would be fun to watch her sweat it out. My mother would make her uncomfortable, that's the least they could do. I itched to grab her hand and assure her that everything would be fine but that would be me caring and I wasn't supposed to care, no matter how nice she was being. The door opened and I was floored. My mother’s warm welcome made me smile as I made my way to my Father’s study. I worried about leaving Elysia with my parents knowing their history but I figured she would be fine, I felt nostalgic coming back here, the pictures on the wall and my mother’s signature cooking called to me. I trailed my finger on the pictur

Elysia I sighed with contentment as his hands ran through my back. I couldn't remember the last time he showed any affection. I was careful not to utter a word, I didn't want to ruin the moment. He was sure to pull away from me if he felt rattled. The hand on my back stopped its movement and I almost hissed. The disappointment was clear as day on my face but he couldn't see it. I could hear his heartbeat and for some strange reason, the sound and rhythm of the beating soothed me. It made me calm, a feeling I wasn't accustomed to since I lost my memory. I heard the rumble when he cleared his throat. He muttered something, I wasn't sure what but he repeated it. "I want to adopt Zara's child." I felt like a cold bucket has been poured on me. Suddenly, the hug made sense. He was preparing me for this. I couldn't lash out, that would make me look childish. I untangled myself from the hug, choosing to look at him. I was in shock. My heart was racing, my hands were shaking, and I co

Elysia. I woke up groggy and disoriented, staring at the sterile white walls of the hospital room. I stared at the connecting wires attached to my arm, the steady beeping of the heart rate monitor. I tried to sit up but a hand held me back. "Careful dear," the familiar voice penetrated my thoughts. I turned to the voice immediately and my mother's worried face was the first thing I saw. I held her gaze for a long time and I saw a familiar emotion that seemed strange coming from her. Pity. I immediately burst into tears. She held my hand and stroked my hair. "You are going to be okay. Shhhh" she comforted me but it did nothing to soothe me. It made me even cry harder. My body racked with sobs as it trembled. I was exhausted. "Mom, I am so tired.," I whispered, my voice shaking with fear. "What do you mean, honey? You will be fine," she replied, looking at me with confusion and concern. "I can't, Mom. I just can't. I can't face what happened there. I can't go back to that p

Elysia I ran out of the house, tears streaming down my face. I hunched down, out of breath as I felt my heart break over and over again. I didn't know if it was my brother blaming himself, or my parents letting me go into an arranged marriage. Or the worst of it all, my husband. The cold expression on his face whenever he looked at me came to mind, he regarded me with such contempt that it felt like I was an intruder in the marriage. I wondered what I did to make him hate me this much, he saved my family's company and how did I repay him? I had no idea. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, but I was too hurt and confused to calm down. I had never felt so alone in my life. It was like I was being punished for the sins I couldn't remember for the life of me. No one understood the battle I was fighting, internally and externally. As I walked down the street, I replayed the conversation with Damon over and over again in my mind. His words echoed in my mind like a neve

. Damon I woke up to the shrill sound of my ringtone. I hissed as I flung it somewhere on my nightstand I would look for it later. It kept ringing and it started getting me irritated. I blindly searched for it. I fumbled for the phone on my nightstand, answered it, and was greeted by the voice of my father-in-law. "Hello?" "Damon? Can I speak to Elysia?" Her father's voice boomed over the phone. "She isn't here," I said. I couldn't care less about where she goes or what she does. "Oh, I...I thought she was with you." His voice trembled, a dead giveaway that something was wrong. "No, what's going on?" I asked, instantly awake and alert. "She never came home last night and we can't find her anywhere." His voice cracked at the end. He didn't finish the statement when I was already up from bed, my snide comment was biting me in the ass. A chill ran down my spine.

I felt ecstatic that Damon finally allowed me to move back in but furthermore I was happy that he was willing to work through our issues. I had my things moved and I was back in the house the same night. My lips thinned when I remembered that Zara was going to be living with us. I wasn't comfortable with that and I made it clear to him. He promised to figure something out until she decides to leave. I woke up early this morning, eager to start my day. I was determined to make breakfast for Damon and myself, hoping to surprise him with my cooking skills. I decided to make omelets with ham and cheese, accompanied by a fresh fruit salad and a warm cup of coffee. As I cooked, the sizzling of the eggs in the pan and the aroma of the coffee filled the kitchen, bringing a smile to my face. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I placed the plates on the table, admiring my work

Elysia I sat in Macy's office, feeling overwhelmed with emotions. She had just told me about the journal and how I write in it whenever I am sad. Curiosity getting the best of me, I decided to take a look. I opened the safe where she kept it, and began to read through the pages. As I flipped through the pages, I stumbled upon a section dedicated to my ex-fiance, Jackson. My heart sank as I read my words, filled with pain and confusion. I wrote about visiting his house and finding him with a pregnant woman. The thought of him cheating on me was devastating. "I went to the house today, to see how Jackson was doing, but he was with a pregnant lady, who seems to be due in a few months. How is that supposed to happen when we only just broke up two months ago? Did he cheat on me? If he did, now I will never know. I guess it's better this way, maybe I wasn't destined for happiness" How come I don't remember this? It was obvious now that Damon forced me into the marriage, but why? I coul

Zara and Damon were shouting at each other, their voices echoing through the living room. "I can't take this anymore, Damon! You're always belittling me and making me feel worthless!" Zara exclaimed. Damon just stood there with a smirk on his face, not caring about the hurt he was causing. "You can't just leave like that!" Damon was saying. "Watch me!" Zara shot back, her voice high and angry. I frowned, trying to understand what was going on. Then, Zara noticed me and her eyes narrowed. "I can't deal with this anymore," she said, grabbing her bags and marching past me. "Zara, wait!"
