"Do you want to have dinner with me?" Leah said hesitantly. Adrian looked at Leah in surprise, "Are you serious?"
Leah nodded several times, she was quite confused as to why she asked Adrian to have dinner with her.Adrian could not help but smile, making two dimples appear on his face. Then he walked following Leah, who had already walked in front of him."Shall we go grocery shopping? I'll cook delicious food for you!" Adrian tried to keep up with Leah's steps. He couldn't hide his enthusiasm. Leah shook her head, "Nope, I've filled my refrigerator with a lot of groceries,""I'm trying as best as I can to not to appear in the public area, Jerome can be anywhere, I don't want him to catch me again, so I've bought everything I need for the next month, like a person ready for war," Leah babbled half-jokingly.Adrian looked at Leah with a pitying look. How could Jerome do all these terrible things to the woman he loved?"Leah," Ad"Did you really forget your way home! Leah, you really took him away from me!" shouted the woman in the light yellow dress, her hands still hugging Adrian from behind.Leah looked at Adrian and the woman awkwardly, Adrian who understood the situation, hurriedly let go of the woman in the light yellow dress. "Leah, you must have forgotten, this is my little sister, Mia," said Adrian, ruffling Mia's hair softly.Mia and her parents looked at each other, they did not understand the direction of Adrian's words. Leah sighed, "Umm, I had a fatal accident that made me lose part of my memory. I can't remember anything after 2016," Leah ventured to explain herself about her condition.She lowered her head, she knew how they would react now. They would surely stare at Leah with pity, and Leah didn't like that kind of look."Leah, I'm sorry, I'm kidding a little too much, huh?" Mia touched Leah's hand softly after Vivian released her hug to Leah. Leah smiled
Leah did not answer, nor did she refuse, she just looked into Adrian's eyes in silence. Adrian lowered his face, even more, his nose almost touched Leah's, just when his lips touched Leah's half-opened lips, suddenly, "Adrian! Are you sleeping? Can we talk for a moment?" Vivian's voice came from behind the door.Leah jumped and released herself from Adrian's hand reflexively. She turned around and cleared her throat softly, trying to shake off the awkward atmosphere that filled the air around them."Yes, Mom! I'm coming!" Adrian walked toward the door without daring to look at Leah, her cheeks flushed red. They were truly like two strangers who had never dated before.After Adrian disappeared behind the door, Leah let out a sigh of relief. She covered her face wit
"How was your meeting? Is there any important thing about Jerome?" Leah asked, turned her head to look at Adrian who was busy with his steering wheel.Adrian nodded, "According to my source, Jerome probably keeps all important data about his fictional company in the Picasso gallery, it's the safest place because no one would suspect an art gallery."Leah bit her lip, thinking. "How about we take a look inside the gallery, maybe we can find out where they saved the file?" Leah suggested which in an instant made Adrian scowl in surprise."Leah, you are the one Jerome is looking for the most right now, how could you possibly enter into the enemy's lair? Everyone will easily recognize you!" without realizing it, Adrian barked at Leah because he was too worried."Nobody will recognize me if I change my appearance," muttered Leah still not giving up. She was already thinking about what she would look like, many ideas flashed through Leah's head.
"Where are we?" asked Leah when she had just opened her eyes after sleeping almost four hours in the car, she turned to look at Adrian with her eyes half-closed. Adrian smiled at Leah who looked still sleepy, "West Virginia," Adrian answered as he kept driving.Leah straightened up, looking around her, the expanse of mountain scenery spoiling her eyes. "Are we going to stay here?" Leah muttered, her hand pressed the button to open the car window.Adrian nodded, "You said it was up to me, so I chose this city, you don't mind right?" Adrian's face looked a little worried. "Absolutely not, anywhere is the same for me," said Leah casually, she didn't care where she lived, because wherever she was she still had to hide from Jerome.Adrian's car turned into a narrow road with trees filling the right and left of it, Leah didn't protest, she just stared at the scene with a much better feeling than before. Being away from the noise of big city life was enough to
Adrian's hands began to move to touch Leah's breasts, he couldn't hold himself back anymore. Leah closed her eyes, enjoying every touch of Adrian's hand on her skin. When Adrian's lips began to fall and kiss her breast, suddenly the memory of the sexual assault that Jerome had done to her appeared and ruined everything. Leah pushed Adrian away, then covered her face with her hands."What's happening Leah? Is there something wrong?" asked Adrian, stunned. Leah shook her head without letting go of the hands that covering her face.Adrian approached and stroked Leah's hair gently. "Leah, tell me, what's the matter? Why do you look so scared? Did I hurt you?" Adrian's voice sounded really worried.Leah opened her hands, then looked up at Adrian with a face that was wet with tears. "This isn't about you Ad, it's about him..." Leah replied in a choked voice. Suddenly the image of Jerome beating her and harassing her appeared in her mind, made Leah feel like t
“Have we ever been to this place before?” Leah asked, gripping Adrian's hand tightly. Adrian nodded with a hopeful glare on his face, "We always spend time in this cabin at least once every month, can you remember anything?" Adrian couldn't hide his happiness. Leah bit her lip, her eyes looked at Adrian with tears in them, “I remember we are sitting here like this, doing the same thing like what we do right now, oh my dear God…” Leah touched Adrian's face, tears started to fall down on her cheeks. "Our memories are real..." Leah whispered still not believing what she was feeling. Adrian touched Leah's hand that was on her face, "Welcome back baby..." Adrian said with a broad smile. "Thank you for making our beautiful memories the first thing you remember, I don't care if after this you can't remember anything else, for
"We almost had a child," Adrian said almost inaudibly. Leah's body was shaking violently, she looked at Adrian in disbelief, but deep inside her heart, she knew, Adrian was telling the truth."What happened?" whispered Leah still confused. Adrian got up from his seat, "Get dressed, I'll be waiting outside," said Adrian, who quite understood that Leah didn't feel comfortable with her naked body wrapped only by a blanket.After Adrian came out, Leah rushed out of bed and put on clothes then she followed Adrian out. She looked around but Adrian wasn't anywhere. "I'm outside!" shouted Adrian from the courtyard.Leah walked briskly toward the yard and found Adrian preparing a canoe by the river for them to board. "Come on! We'll go around in a canoe!" Adria
"Oh my God, all this time I've been looking for evidence of Jerome's fictitious company, it turns out that everything is here!" Leah stared at the laptop screen in disbelief. Next to her, Adrian reacted exactly as Leah did."Are we going to report it now?" asked Adrian, he looked down at Leah who was still busy moving the cursor. "Is this evidence enough?" Leah looked up, her eyes meeting Adrian's.Adrian shrugged, "I don't know, I have to study this file first," Adrian reached out his hand to lift the laptop in Leah's lap and put it on the table. Carefully, Adrian read the files one by one, occasionally frowning. "Do you understand all these things?" Adrian asked Leah, who seemed lost in her own thoughts.Leah nodded, “Well, I don't know, I guess my b
