Alex's Pov The next day I clasped my hands together as I leaned forward on my desk. I continuously tapped my foot. Why did she smell so good? Why did Damien leave? How is my sister even alive? And why....just why...whenever I'm around Miss Smith, I feel complete and satisfied, but not fully. I buzzed the intercom to call in my secretary, Kim. She's a bit older than me but she's smart, she knows she can't try anything on me. Kim is professional, but it doesn't mean I fully trust her or anyone with my secret, except Damien. "Is there anything I can help you with sir?", Kim asked as she held her hands behind her back and her posture was straight. "Hire Miss Smith, bring her in next week for the job, and look for Damien, see if he will talk to you.", I demanded. "Yes sir.", she nodded before leaving my office. I exhaled, ran a hand through my hair, and walked towards the glass window that gave a beautiful view of the city. Just then, I spotted someone who looked directly up at the b
Alex and Zoey walked in together into Steven’s winery. “Welcome guys!”, Steven exclaimed as he greeted them with open arms. He walked over to Zoey and kissed her knuckles gently, Alex clenched at the site but he couldn’t understand why. Steven then gave him a man hug. “And who may this be?”, Steven asked as he looked over to Zoey who was now looking around the place amazed. “Zoey. Is my assistant.”, Alex emphasized her name which grabbed her attention. “Zoey, why don’t you wait here and check out the place while I discuss business with Steven?”, Alex asked which sounded like a command, not giving her room to argue. She nodded. As soon as Alex and Steven left, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. “Devil…”, she muttered under her breath and decided to take a look at Steven’s finest wine collection. Zoey walked passed all the collection but something caught her attention, making her stop and turn her head. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Huh…”, she muttered under her breath. Z
Zoey’s Pov I leaned in with my head in my hands with was against the desk. I used one hand to play with my pen. What the hell is wrong with him? One minute he’s okay, the next minute he’s so cruel! I wonder how Damien managed to deal with this crap, I feel sorry for him now. Oh shit! Damien! I forgot about him and Alexa, I need to find him quickly. Just then, the alarm on my cell phone rang. Good. It was finally time to go home! I started to pack everything quickly and silently after my long day of work, avoiding my husband, heh. As soon as I finished I held my bag and stretched my arms out while walking to the elevator, yawning. Just before I could press the employee's elevator button, I saw an arm reaching from behind me and pressing the button. I turned around in shock to see that it was Alex. What the hell does he want from me now? I internally groaned in frustration, anger, and tiredness. This is one shitty day… He looked straight ahead, not daring to meet my gaze. As soon as
Zoey’s Pov I walked out of the office in confusion. The way Damien looked at me…he clearly remembered, but how? It doesn’t make sense at all. I decided to go to the restroom, I leaned against the sink and looked at my reflection, clearly, the shock was seen on my face, I just hope that Alex didn’t catch me. I opened the tap and sprinkled some water on my face, then I used a handtowel to wipe it off, luckily, the makeup didn’t smudge. I need to figure out what the hell is going on. Before I could leave the restroom, I heard the door opening and it is locked by someone. I turned my head to see it was Damien. I waited for him to talk first, in case he might not remember me. “Don’t worry, Zoey. I remember you.”, he stated. “Thank goodness…”, I said as I sighed in relief. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. He seemed hesitant at first, but he hugged me back. “How have you been? How do you remember? I don’t understand what I did anymore, it’s all getting confusing.”, I said all in one
Zoey’s Pov I yanked my hand with a strong force from Damien after our encounter with Alex. “What the hell, Damien?! Why did you do that? Do you know how it’s going to reflect on me? I’m not going to be able to get Alexa back for you if you keep interfering.”, I yelled at him. But all Damien did was keep his head down and he was silent. Then I puzzled it up together and covered my mouth in shock. “T-that….wasn’t a lie….was it…?”, I asked softly as I could feel tears trickle down my face. “It's not…I’m so sorry Zoey-” “NO! You don’t get to act like that! I..I…I can’t live without Alex! How long did you even know this for?”, I questioned him as I wiped the tears off my face and cut him off from talking. “After you erased memories….you reset the bond again too…”, he said. “Wait…’reset’? What the hell…are you telling me that we were-” “Yes, Zoey. You’re my mate, that’s how I was able to remember everything, because of the bond.”, Damien huffed as he ran a hand through his hair. I
Alex heard Sabrina’s voice and tried to hide the trace of Zoey quickly. He wanted to sort out one problem at a time. “Hey honey!”, Sabrina exclaimed as she gave him a hug and slurred her voice. Alex rolled his eyes while they hugged. “Sabrina, we need to talk.”, Alex stated as he pulled away from the hug. “Sure thing, honey.”, Sabrina stated as her eyes landed on Zoey’s chain that was left behind. Alex ushered her to sit down. “I want to cancel this engagement.”, he stated. Sabrina’s eyes widened in shock. “It’s because of that stupid personal assistant of yours, isn’t it?”, Sabrina scoffed and walked into Alex’s bedroom. “Where is she?!”, she yelled. “She took leave for the rest of the day.” But Alex just sat there on his couch and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Look, I’m really sorry about all of this Sabrina, and it’s not because of that assistant, I think I’ve just rushed into the marriage process. I need to clear my mind, there’s too much going on right now.”, Alex sa
Zoey’s Pov “What will you choose?”, Edward questioned Zoey. I remained speechless until I finally had the courage to speak up. “Fine…you caught me. I would like to work would you guys to take these monsters down.”, I stated as I stood up. “Great. Let’s get you ready.”, Edward stated as he stood up. Edward started to walk in a direction that seemed like an elevator and he pressed the button while Sabrina decided to stay behind. “Follow me.”, Edward said to me as the elevator door opened. I quickly followed Edward into the elevator before it could close on me. “So where are we going?”, I asked curiously. “We’re going to see your new suit, are you ready?”, Edward stated. I nodded with a bright smile on my face. I had to hide the fact that I was terrified, I can’t give in to Edward and let him know how I feel. The elevator doors slid open and they exited the elevator. I stepped outside before Edward could so I could seem excited. I kept walking forward until something interesti
“Argh…”, Zoey grunted as she opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes adjusted to a bright light and voices around from everywhere. “Easy, ma’am. Do you know who you are?”, a man in blue scrubs and a white coat to complement the look “Wh-what’s going on…?”, Zoey questioned as she woke up slowly and held her head in her hands. “Ma’am, you have been in a car accident, it’s best if you take a rest after answering some questions for us.”, the doctor stated. Zoey nodded. “Do you know what your name is?”, the doctor asked. “Of course, I’m….”, Zoey frowned as cleared her throat. “I’m Zoey.”, she stated. “Good. Do you know where you are at the moment?”, the doctor questioned. “Yes, I’m in a hospital.”, she said. “And lastly…do you know which year this is?”, the doctor asked. “Yeah, it’s 2015.”, Zoey said confidently. The doctor and the nurse exchanged worried looks. “What’s going on…?”, Zoey asked. “Well…you’ve been in a car accident, there was a truck that hit you while you were drivin
