The cold breeze brushed against my skin. I shivered a little as I had no jacket on, but I didn’t mind.I took a deep breath before gently tracing Mom’s engraved name on the tombstone and then Dad’s. I shifted my gaze to both of their graves.“Mom, Dad. I’m really confused. I don’t know why, but I feel like Stephen is connected to my past. If by any chance he was part of the group that attacked us before, I hope he wasn’t. Because if that were the case, I don’t know what I would do.”It was Saturday, and I decided to visit my late parents. I had a lot of questions for them, too. They knew about my past, which I still couldn’t remember.But no matter how many times I asked them, I knew I wouldn’t get any answers. So, I secretly prayed that maybe I would meet someone—just one person who was part of that past—to tell me more about what happened back then. Someone who could shed light on the events.I forced a smile. “But don’t worry about me. I’m in good hands. I have kind people taking c

Third Person’s POVNATHALIA still couldn’t believe what she saw in the photo. So, she picked up the fallen photo album once again, and with trembling hands, she looked at the pictures inside one by one.She felt as though her breath was being taken away when she saw that she was included in all the photos. Even though she couldn’t remember the children she was with there, she was certain that Stephen and his friends were among them.She bit her lower lip as she noticed that the young Mads, Damon, Harold, and Albert were also with them in the pictures. She had visited their house a few times and seen some of their childhood photos. Thus, she couldn’t be mistaken.“What the hell? What’s their connection to a past I can’t remember?” she quietly questioned in her mind.She blinked and tried to hold back the tears from escaping her eyes. She quickly closed the photo album and held it tightly.She needs to hide this one until Stephen comes back. That way, he won’t have a chance to avoid her

Nathalia’s POVI know that the time will come when Aries and I will see each other again. But I didn’t expect our paths to cross again in this manner.My attention shifted to Cole as he suddenly got out of the car and quickly walked towards my position. He opened the door and firmly grabbed my arm before dragging me out of the car.My mouth gaped open, unable to believe it, as I looked up at him. This is not the Cole that I used to know.The Cole I know is sweet, caring, and gentle. He likes to crack jokes, even if they’re corny, and sing, even if his voice isn’t in tune.“C-Cole, what’s happening?” I was interrupted as Aries suddenly interjected.“Oh, come on! Big brother! You don’t have to be so harsh on her,” he said before he sighed and his expression turned somber as he glanced at me.My eyes widened at what I heard. Surprised, I shifted my gaze between the two of them. “Big brother? What did he mean?”Cole’s gaze was coldly fixed on me. It wasn’t like before, when his eyes seeme

Stephen’s POVDamn this piece of shit! How many of Aries’ lackeys are there?I quickly swerved the car as I noticed that two of the occupants in a white van were pointing guns at me. I can send them all to hell right now if I fucking want to. But I shouldn’t waste a single minute dealing with them. I need to see my wife as soon as possible. That’s all that matters to me right now.I grabbed my cellphone and immediately called the head of the mafia guards accompanying me. “Clear my way and back me up! Make sure to kill all those motherfuckers!”“Yes, sir!”I hung up the call and threw my phone onto the dashboard. I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I noticed my men systematically taking down the enemies ahead. As they were finally eliminated one by one, I quickly sped the car away.I glanced at the side mirror and saw my friends swiftly following me. Meanwhile, our men had successfully fallen behind. They’re blocking the enemy’s way.“Rhyz, did you already tell Amelia to foll
