Aviana didn't leave the mansion immediately. She was searching around for Stanley. Hayden told her that butlers knew so much about their masters, which is why she was looking for him. Though, sometimes they could be a little secretive, she didn't know if he would tell her anything but she had to try her luck nonetheless. Aviana was still looking around when she saw him standing in the garden giving instructions to a few of the servants who were working there. He was done giving them instructions and wanted to leave. She called out to him immediately as she ran to him. "Sir! Sir, wait up!" At that instant, the butler stopped in his track. He turned to look at her and pointed a finger to himself as he asked, "ME?" Aviana reached to him. She said, "Sir, can I have a minute of your time if you don't mind? You see, there is some important information I need, and you're the only person who can help me with it." "Yes, sure. Whatever information you need from me, I'm willing to tel
The next day, Aviana left work early. The day before, she had suggested to Stanley that he allowed her to cook for Old Mr Urkel for a starter to winning the old man's heart. It was like they said; A father's weak spot is his stomach, so she wanted to win his heart by cooking for him. Lucky for her, Stanley had agreed without hesitation. Aviana got into a cab outside the building and left immediately. Twenty minutes later, the cab stopped at the gate and Aviana climbed out of the car. She strode inside and was welcomed by Stanley who walked her to the kitchen. "Here were are, this is the mansion's kitchen, ma'am. I've asked the maids to find something else to do. All the food stuffs are inside the fridge, others on the counter. I'll leave now so you can start working. If you need any help, call one of the maids to assist you. Please excuse me." Stanley walked out of the kitchen and left Aviana to familiarize herself with the kitchen. Aviana thought that the kitchen was very huge,
Jayden propped the door open and walked inside the room. The lights inside the room were low, and there were cords hanging down for the nurses call button and the IV solutions. An electric machine sat on a cart with odd wires leading from it, a privacy curtain hanging from a track on the ceiling. The window had a mini blind on it, and a view of the roof of an adjoining building. The room was awfully silent apart from the beep beep sound that indicated Chloe was alive. She had wires glued to her chest and coming up through the neck of her gown, a gauze bandage wrapped around her head. Jayden made his way to the bedside where his beloved sister lay, unconscious. It had been a week since they landed in LA and Chloe was currently admitted at Kindred hospital. She hurt her head badly when she fell and lost so much blood in the process. Jayden teared up seeing the condition that she was in, and he blamed himself for it. If he listened to her pleas and never sent her to Japan, she would not
James walked back to his office, tired, and slumped down on his chair. He called Ethan on the phone immediately. "What happened, James?" "Chloe is awake, Ethan. She kept calling your name, I think you should drop whatever it is you're doing and come over to the hospital. She isn't the same, she needs you, Ethan," James told him. "Right now, I can't come. I have important matters to attend to at the moment. I'll visit her tomorrow," Ethan said indifferently. "Are you talking about the surprise plan? Bro, this is your childhood friend we are talking about. The plan can always wait because you'll have more time with her in the future, but you don't have much time with your friend," James said. "Stop insisting because nothing will change my mind. I'll visit her, but not today," James sighed, "Alright, it's your call. I just thought I should let you know. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to attend to other patients." He kept the call afterwards. Chloe heard someone open the
Aviana felt her muscles tense when she heard Ethan's words. She never hated Chloe, and she was glad that she was doing okay, but why did she want Ethan to visit her at the hospital? Aviana didn't want to be one of those jealous girlfriends who felt insecure about their boyfriends visiting their ex's or their female friends, but at this point, she could not help it. She felt insecure. She felt really uncomfortable. She had a bad feeling about it. "James called me this morning and asked me to come to the hospital today to check on her. Jayden came to ask the same thing, too," as Ethan spoke, he was keen to notice that Aviana seemed uncomfortable. "I told him that I wouldn't go today. Tomorrow, I will find time and visit her," he added. Ethan delayed visiting Chloe because he wanted to inform his woman, first, and get her opinion about everything. Aviana didn't hate Chloe, he knew. She couldn't possibly hate anyone because that was her personality. She had a kind heart. Still, he had
Ethan frowned slightly. Aviana, on the other hand, was extremely confused. James noticed their confused faces, so he decided to explain to them. "The doctor said she lost her memories. Not all, but only those from a few months ago." 'Well, that explains why she didn't remember me. I wonder what she will do when she finds out that I'm Ethan's girlfriend now,' Aviana thought. Aviana introduced herself to Chloe, as she smiled at her politely, "My name is Aviana Cole, ma'am. It's nice to meet you, and I wish you a quick recovery." She had her hand stretched out and open for a handshake. Chloe sized her up in a churlish manner and deliberately ignored her hand. She said in an unfriendly tone, "Don't call me, ma'am! I'm not old! Place the fruits on the table, I'll eat them later." Aviana felt embarrassed as she took her hand back to her side. She sighed inwardly, 'She is still antagonistic towards me even without her memories.' Aviana started walking towards the table as instructed b
Aviana sat between Chloe and Ethan. The two reminisced about their childhood memories, at one point they laughed and Aviana forced a smile. That very moment, Aviana felt left out in their conversation. She felt like she didn't belong. And, she blamed herself for it. She failed as Ethan's girlfriend. All the while she had spend time with him, she never bothered to ask him about his childhood. She practically knew nothing about Ethan, except that he had a step brother and a step mother and he was the CEO of the largest company in LA, something that every person in LA knew, and it made her like everyone else. The more they continued to laugh, the more sad and left out she was feeling. At that very moment, Aviana felt like time just froze and the world was spinning fast and everything around her disappeared except the sounds of their laughters. Aviana felt an intense tightening in the chest and a sudden hunger for air. She felt like she was going to suffocate if she continued to sit ther
Aviana hurriedly walked out of the room. She walked down the hospital hallway heading to where she didn't know exactly, with getting as far away from them as possible as the only thing running through her mind. She couldn't stop crying and her body trembled as tears of sorrow fell from her eyes like a river. She placed a hand over her lips to stop the strangled scream that was about to escape from her mouth. Several emotions – Sad. Insecure. Anger. Fear. Jealous. Were expressed through her tears. She was sad because Chloe guessed all the questions correct. The questions were so simple yet she didn't get even one right!? She? She was the girlfriend, Chloe was the friend. She guessed wrong all the questions, Chloe guessed them right. How ironical that was? Now that Chloe was back, Aviana couldn't help but feel insecure. Yes, she was Ethan's woman and he loved her. But, Chloe was the girl he was engaged to, and the bond they shared together seemed strong, it could not be broken. Moreo
