Ergon had just arrived home to pick up some stuff. He had decided to be at his secret hideout with Adrainna for a while. He had a great plan up his sleeve, and apart from avoiding Valeria's son, he also didn't want her to find out about his plans. Ergon decided to see Valeria and explain things to her before heading out. He went to her room and knocked on her door, but no one replied. Ergon got confused when he heard no response. Valeria was either in her room or around the mansion where he could see her. "Valeria, are you in there?"No response still. Ergon quickly turned the door knob and went into her room. He got surprised even more when he discovered that the bed was well arranged but no one was in the room. He quickly walked out of her bedroom and headed to the kitchen. He didn't find Valeria but just the chef, named Anton. "Have you seen my wife recently?""No sir, she should be in her room," the chef said.Ergon didn't bother to ask the chef further questions because the c
When Valeria saw Ergon, she was shocked out of her wits. He seemed like he had come in search of her. Good thing she went shopping as soon as she left Noah. It was as if she knew Noah might suspect her. She had quickly branched through some stores to get some things which would be needed at home, just in case she finds Noah at home and he asks her where she has gone to. The last thing she ever wanted in a situation like this was to be suspected. But then, she never expected to lie to him. When they got home, she thought Noah would stay over for dinner, but he told her he wouldn't be able to make it since he had things he was working on. Honestly, she was beginning to get suspicious of the whole thing. He hardly stays at home, and ever since their son came, he had never spent time with him. All of this got her thinking about what Noah had said earlier. It can't be that...Valeria quickly shook her head, she didn't want to feel her head with nonsense. "Mom, aren't you sleepy yet?" Fr
Valeria and Shiella, including their kids all went into the eatery together. Valeria could have easily left, but leaving at that moment when she was already getting into the eatery would look too suspicious, plus the fact that she was dying to find someone who knew of her past and could help her with her memory. Though, she doesn't plan to ask Shiella such questions. Too many questions were only going to make her probe into suspicion, and that was so not what she wanted at that very point in time. "Uhm, Valeria? I remember back when we were in school, I used to envy you a lot."Valeria raised a brow, but was discrete about it, so, the lady wouldn't read the meaning of her reaction. "Really?""Yes, I'm serious," Shiella replied. Just then, she heaved a long sigh. "Valeria, there's something that has been bugging me over the years, ever since you left school without a trace. I have been carrying this guilt inside of me for three years now. I know it's been more than five years ever
"Yes, let's meet up." Valeria stared at the phone screen wide-eyed. She thought it was going to take like an hour for him to respond,but surprisingly, he applied a minute after she sent the message. She began to wonder if he had been waiting for her call ever since she shook her head, believing it was all her thinking. There was no way he was waiting for her message. She was sure the phone was just with him at that moment in time. The moment they arrived at the hospital, Valeria looked around to see if she would see Noah or his car around, but from the look of things, he hadn't been there yet. Well, that's no issue, she was going to wait for him anyway. "Mom, let's go already...." Fred whined. They went to the flower shop to get some flowers for Mrs Shiella. "Okay son, let's go see grandma." They both hurried into the hospital and went directly to miss Shiella's room."Grandma!" Fred called the moment they walked into the room. Mrs Shiella, who was watching a documentary on televi
Valeria looked around the place, and found just a few people who were walking in and out of the place. It was a portable restaurant with a few people in it. "So, this is the place you think will be safe for us to talk?""Yes,I specially chose this place for us because I know we will be safe here, unlike the mall."Valeria went wide when he talked about the mall. "Did you perhaps -""Do you mean if I saw Ergon?"Valeria blinked, while staring at him, demanding an answer. "Well, as soon as you left, I decided to chase you. Boy, then, I saw that you had gotten into a mall to get things. I decided to wait outside the mall as I didn't want to cause a scene.While I was waiting for you, I suddenly spotted someone whom I recognized as your driver."Valeria couldn't believe what Noah was saying. She was utterly speechless. "My original intent was to make sure the driver didn't see me, because I suspect he might inform Ergon about it. While I stalled, still hoping for a chance to see you,
Mrs Rita had missed her daughter for more than five years now. Her health had deteriorated greatly because she thought her daughter had died somehow. She had been sad about the sudden disappearance of her daughter that she had given up. She believed if her daughter was still alive, she would have come home a long time ago.Valeria would never leave her to worry about her. She was a good girl who loved her so much. Her daughter was her world, and her life. For the years Valeria had been absent, she thought her world had ended. She just lived by, waiting for the day death would come knocking. Just like that, it became six years, and still no news about her daughter. Mrs Rita's health began to deteriorate. Her friend, Helena, had been the one caring for her and always tried to reach her or visit her. Not a day passed that she didn't think about her daughter. "Just then,she heard her doorbell ring." Mrs Rita thought it was her friend, Helena, because Helena had been the only one who ha
While on their way back to the hospital, Noah noticed that Valeria had been utterly quiet. He didn't want to pry at whatever discussion she must have had with her mom. He gave them space, so the mother and daughter could bond. But then, they were going back to the hospital, and that would be the last time he ever laid eyes on her. Who knows? So long as she was still with Ergon, there was always the possibility that he might not be able to see Valeria for a long time or never, even. "Val, when you saw your mom earlier, did you, perhaps, get any memories?" That was a fair question for him to ask. "Uhm, I did, but not much. I remember her, but I don't remember the events which took place when I was fifteen. I only remember the times I spent with my friends and family.""Uhm, that was a good start, I must say. Because the fact that you still remember your mom, shows that there's great hope for you getting back your memories, Val.""I know, that was what I thought too. Uhm, Mr Noah?" V
***********Noah drank heavily. He wasn't drinking to pretend, he was drinking to drown himself in his sorrows. Valeria wouldn't come back to him, he couldn't help her, she didn't even want him to help her. What was he supposed to do, in order to get his woman back? Plead with Ergon? Will that even work?"Babe, why are you drinking this way? Don't you think it's too early for this?""It's not early, by the way, I'm just happy. You have no idea just how happy I am.""Wow, this is new. I'm glad to see you this happy, but may I know why you're this happy?" Because, I don't have to worry much about Valeria, she's living her life and I'm truly happy for her.""Really? This is great!" Adrainna exclaimed happily."This is exactly what I've been hoping for. Hearing this from you is the greatest thing I've ever heard. But...how did you come about making this decision?"Noah stared at Adrainna, skeptically. The only best reason he wanted her around was to find out some information from her, an
