Chapter Thirty One
Kaya. We had lunch together, but the conversation was stilted and awkward. He would start to say something, but then he would stop, realising that I didn’t know who or what he was talking about. It was like for a moment he would forgot I didn't have all my memories back, which made me feel even worse. “Did you know Shelly and Charlie?”A slow smile slipped over his full lips. It was a nice smile, the kind that could make a girl have thoughts that weren’t altogether Christian. I found myself wondering if it was the smile that made me go out with him in the first place.“I know them well. You took me home with you for Christmas last year and we spent an entire week enduring their questions and crude jokes.”“I think I can figure out which was which.”He laughed, a nice, deep chuckle that came from somewhere deep in his chest.“Shelly really is the complete opposite of you.” I smiled, thinking of my kid sister only twelve in my mind. She was obsessed with that new British boy band, On

Chapter Thirty Two
Ace. I closed the door and left her alone. It was nice to talk to her like this again. I had missed the back and forth we used to share so easily. Before everything changed, it had always been so easy to be with her. I had to believe we were going to get back to that. I went back to the sitting room and poured myself a drink. I stood there and stared at it for a while, thinking about everything that had happened. Had I done everything I should have done? Should I have tried harder to contact her parents? I knew they would be angry when they found out what had happened, that I didn’t try everything I could try to get word to them. But they were the ones who insisted on taking these cruises without their cellphones. They made it clear they didn’t want to be disturbed under any circumstances. But I knew these were special circumstances and they would have come home immediately had they known. And then they would have taken Kaya back to Texas with them. That was the last thing I wante

Chapter Thirty Three
Ace. As soon as Kaya went back to the house, I sat there in silence looking at my phone. In that moment I was glad her memory was not back yet, what would happen if she finally knew, Cyn was the reason we broke up in the first place? She would never forgive me. What was Cyn thinking, asking me for a divorce, who did she think she suddenly was blackmailing me. I had to figure something out and quick. I also could not get rid of Cyn, my father would not take it lightly. As if on cue, my phone peeped and it was my father calling me. I had completely forgotten about our meeting, he had requested my presence and demanded I bring Cyn with me. I had just pissed Cyn off, there was no doubt she won't agree to come with me to my parents house. And even if she did, she might tell them about Kaya, and I could not take that risk. My family and Kaya's family had a history, a bad history and my father used every chance he got to remind me about it. A few years back, my father was in busine

Chapter Thirty Four
Ace. Growing up, I had loved coming to the house in the I grew up in, but that felt like a hundred years ago. Now, as we neared the property, as Cyn sat beside me in the car, everything about her tense. It didn't feel the same anymore. I felt like I was walking into my own crucifixion. Cyb looked beautiful in the flower colored dress she had chosen, her auburn hair piled high on her head, dark eye makeup accenting the almond shape of her whiskey coloured eyes.I touched her knee as we pulled up to the security gate. She startled.“You will be fine. I will stay with you.”She nodded, but the tension kept rolling off her.I hated this. Knew as I waved to the guard and pulled around back to the garage that she was here to be shown around, shown off, a token of my father’s of my family's triumph.I also knew my father had not forgotten how mad I was at him for forcing me to marry her, and he would do everything in his power to have her alone with him so that he can drill the truth abo

Chapter Thirty Five
AceAlice in Wonderland. My mother had loved the story, and my father had surprised her with the fresco. Tenderness was not a trait I associated with my father, but he had felt it. For her, at least. It was almost as though I never knew that version of him though, and in a way, it was sad.My father pulled out the chair beside him. “Cyn.”Fuck. The only other empty seat stood at the foot of the table, as far from her as physically possible, her footsteps dragged, and I had to nudge her forward. As the guests watched, I sat her down between my father and Duke and, hands fisted, I walked to the empty chair and took it. Cyn's eyes met mine, and I burned my warnings in the look that passed between us, knowing she wouk heed none of them.Servers began to pour wine, and conversation flowed. I watched the lecherous eyes of both my brother and father consume her. She remained between them, eyes on her plate, her face tense as she pulled her arms tighter to herself. I had come to know those li

Chapter Thirty Six
Kaya. The house was so quiet as I came down the stairs from my nap. I almost didn't notice Ace sitting alone in the living room. "Hey, how did you sleep?" he asked as soon as he saw me. "Like a baby." i said smiling as I joined him on the sofa, "I feel so much better.""Well, I am glad to hear that." he said as he stretched out his arm for me to lie on his chest. "What are you doing sitting here in silence alone?" I asked looking around us. "I didn't want to wake you up, plus sometimes I love the silence." he said kissing me lightly on my forehead. This time I did not pull away or cringe. It felt good. "I am looking at some pictures of us, the things we did.""oooh," I said with uneasiness. Over the past few days, whenever we talked about our past it always seemed to end up badly. He would not admit it but he was so mad and angry at me that I didn't remember him or us or our life together. Today seemed like a good day, I didn't want to talk about our past. “This is from a we

Chapter Thirty Seven
Kaya.My hands started to shake. I thought for a moment that I might drop the ring. It felt so real, like it just happened. “Hey, are you okay?” Ace said touching my leg.I looked up at him, and I could see the laughter dancing in his eyes as it had the night we became engaged. We were so happy, he had been so happy to start a family with me. “We were supposed to have dinner with one of your clients. But when we got to the restaurant, you had rented the whole place for the night. There was a violinist and roses everywhere…red and yellow and that odd blue color that you said was twice as expensive so it must be the best.”His eyes widened and for the first time I saw his smile widen “You remember?”“You got down on your knee as soon as we walked inside because you said you were so nervous you were afraid you would lose your courage if you didn’t do it immediately. And I told you that you should have waited because if I had said no, it would have spoiled the dinner you arranged.”He n

Chapter Thirty Eight
Cyn.I woke up feeling tired and confused as I looked around yawning still trying to register what was happening and why my head and eyes were so heavy. I looked at the window. Sunlight filtered through the crack between the curtains.I blinked, confused for a moment, but the soreness between my legs quickly reminded me of where I was.The clock beside the bed read 7:04 a.m.I dragged the silk sheet up over my naked body, sat up, flinched, and lay back down. Beside me, the empty pillow lay sideways. I touched it, leaned over and buried my nose in it, then reared back and shook my head.What the hell was I doing?That's when I realised I was actually back in the mansion, in my own room. But how did that happen? The last thing I remember, I was at his parents house in his room. I had absolutely no memory of us coming back home, or getting to bed. How did I get here was the question lingering in my head. I was in pajamas, whoever brought me back made sure I changed into some pajamas

Chapter Thirty Nine
Paul. She stared at me like it was the first time she had ever seen me. For a second there, I think I saw lust in her eyes. That was definitely a first, which made me even more annoyed, she had never really looked at me like that before. She had never looked at me in any other way period. She was crying, her eyes blood shot but behind those eyes, behind her sadness and anger I saw desire. Or maybe I was just fooling myself. To her I was her chauffer, she was always respectful, but she was always worried about Ace or asking about him, and I was the guy that always answered those questions for her. But today was different. The way she was looking at me was different. But people do things, weird things when they are hurt, they don't think straight. For a moment I wondered if she remembered me, at all. I looked over at her again, her eyes were still on me.She looked like she wanted to get on her knees and lick me. She looked at me like she was searching for something, like I had m

Chapter Fourty
Cyn"Where are you taking me?" we had been driving for a while now, I was so deep in my thoughts I had no clue where we were or where we were going. "The ocean, I thought you would like that." Paul's said calmly smiling at me through the rear view mirror. I had never been to an ocean before. I had always wanted to go, but being under that roof with all the security, it was hard for me to go, which was why I appreciated that he had brought me here. Paul understood that I did not want to talk, and he respected that. He never pressured me into talking about anything. We just walked along the shore in silence. It was so peaceful, with only sounds of the wave. I wanted to get into the water, it felt warm on my feet. But I had not carried any change of clothes and we were supposed to be heading back home soon. I looked around, as we made footprints all over the shores, you could tell which ones were mine just by how small my my feet were. "I don't want to go back there." i finally sa
