Chapter 58
SAMUEL rushed to Mara immediately when she saw her carrying the crates of wine on her own. He got it from her and took it inside the warehouse.
“You’re not supposed to do this alone, Mara. And this kind of work is not for you,” he told her.
She just smiled at him and dried his sweat with her handkerchief.
“Y-you don’t have to do this. I—”
“Samuel…” Mara said somberly.
“Mara, please… we talked about this—”
She exhaled deeply and shook her head.
“Just tell me why you couldn’t love me back, Samuel….”
Mara was sweet and caring. Not only that, but she was also very thoughtful as well. But he could not love her. He could not allow himself to do that until he did not know who he really was. So, until his memories were not coming back, all he could offer her was friendship.
“I…” he ran his fingers thr

“HAPPY birthday to you… Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday, dear Angel… Happy birthday to you….”Everyone cheered as her daughter blew the candles on her birthday cake. They gave her a round of applause afterwards.“What’s your wish, sweetie?” Kate asked as she planted a kiss on her daughter’s temple.Angelique clasped her hands and looked at her with dreamy eyes.“Will you make my wish come true?” her daughter asked with a wide grin plastered on her face.“Hm… it’s negotiable,” Fernan butt in.He even wrapped an arm around her waist that made her straighten her back. If only there were no guests around them at that moment, she would distance herself from him. She felt quite uncomfortable, for some reason. Kate diverted her attention to her daughter instead of thinking about it too much.“Tell us your wish,” she told Ang

“OH, here they are….” Jan’s father beckoned them to come closer.He was with a bunch of businessmen close to the family.Fernan wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Of course, they had to act lovey-dovey in front of everyone. Kate immediately forced a smile. If only it was Jan… she did not have to do that.“So, this is your soon-to-be daughter-in-law?” one of the guests asked.“Well, technically, she was her daughter-in-law from the start,” the woman beside Jan’s father countered. “Don’t you know that she’s Jan’s wife?” There was this smug look on the woman’s face that she tried so hard to ignore. “And now after he disappeared, she’s to marry his brother. Perhaps she’s after something—”“Excuse me,” Fernan cut the woman off. She felt his grip tighten on her side. “I don’t th

“THIS island is the perfect getaway. If we acquire this property and build an exclusive private resort—”Winona raised a hand and beckoned her secretary to stop talking.“Miss? Is there something wrong?”She did not respond to the question and remained looking at the man unloading crates from a truck a few meters away from them. The man looked like Jan! She was unsure if she was seeing it right or her vision was playing tricks on her.Winona was aware that there could be a slight chance that a stranger may look like someone she knew. However, her instinct kept telling her that could not be wrong. She had been friends with Jan for a long time, and she had feelings for him. There was no way she would not recognize him. Winona would recognize him by just seeing his back and the way he walks.“Miss?” Her secretary grasped her arm. “Are you alright? Do you want me to get you something to drink?”

FERNAN watched Katherine and Angelique play in the garden. What a sight to behold. How he wished he could watch that scene his whole life. He heaved a sigh as he sat down on the bench in the garden and continued to watch them.It had been years since he started playing the role of a father to Angelique, and he quite got fond of it. It brought him joy. It gave his life a new meaning. However, Fernan knew that everything he had was just temporary.“They look beautiful, don’t they?” his mom said as she sat down beside him.“Yes… of course,” he said without taking his eyes off Katherine.“Angelique looks like her mother in some angles, but she sometimes resembles your brother.” His mother heaved a sigh and held his hand. “Fernan… do you really love Katherine, or you’re just bluffing to save our family’s ass from the—”“It’s true that I love her, Mom.

WINONA welcomed him with a tight hug when he arrived at her hotel suite. He hugged his friend back.“How have you been?” he asked when he distanced himself from her.“Fine. I’m doing okay,” she said, beaming. But her smile did not reach her eyes.Of course, he already had an idea. What she saw must have bothered her.“Winona.” Fernan held her friend’s hands and squeezed them gently. “Tell me what happened.”“Come, let’s have a seat.” She tugged her in the direction of the couch.They sat down there, facing each other.Winona heaved a deep sigh, but it seemed that she could not start speaking. She was out of focus, in panic. She rose from the couch afterwards and sauntered towards the minibar.Fernan leaned on the couch and took a deep breath while watching his friend sip her whiskey. After a few moments, Winona turned to face him, holding the glass wi

“WHAT did he say?” Mara asked with furrowed brows when he returned home after meeting the guest who came to the vineyard.“He told me that he’s my best friend.”“And you believed in him?” She breathed exasperatedly.Samuel turned to face her. Something in the tone of her voice tells him she has doubts about his friend.“Mara, I—”“How can you trust someone when this is the first time you saw him—”“I think you’re forgetting something here,” Samuel said in a low tone, cutting her off. “I have amnesia. I had no choice but to believe what he told me because I couldn’t remember anything. I just… followed my guts. I didn’t feel anything bad towards him.”Samuel knew better. She must have been opposing the idea that the one who came was a friend because she was afraid that the time had come for him to leave them. He

KATE was just curling on the bed day and night for a few days now. She was crying and not talking to anyone, even her nanny. If not for her daughter, she could have done something to hurt herself. It kind of felt like she lost her will to live anymore.She heard the hinges creak but did not pay attention to it. Whoever went inside the room must be someone who delivered her food. But after a few seconds, she felt the cushion move. Someone climbed up on the bed.“Mommy! Mommy!” said her daughter’s sweet little voice.Angelique then removed the duvet covering her face.“Baby… come here.” Kate immediately wiped her tears and pulled her daughter for a hug. When her little arms wrapped around her neck, she could not help but cry. “Oh, God…”“Why you are crying, Mommy?” Angelique kissed her cheek, drying her tears. “Are you sad? Did someone make you cry?”She wiped her

HE opened his eyes, and he was greeted with a room painted in white. He already had an idea what happened and where he was—hospital suite.He looked around and found that no one was inside the suite except him. He sat up and cupped his forehead.He knew something had changed in him. He remembered something.His name was not Samuel. He was called by the name Jan. He remembered that before he lost consciousness from a terrible headache. It must be the reason why he was rushed to the hospital. Aside from his name, he also remembered another name—Katherine. But he was not sure who she was. It kept echoing at the back of his head, making him feel dizzy again.He turned in the direction of the door when he heard it open and closed. Mara came in carrying a bag. He could not help but worry about her. What would she feel, or how would she react if she learned that he was slowly regaining his memories?“Samuel! Oh, thank God, you’re a
