Chapter 89

It was a sunny afternoon, Chris had just come back from his shift, he dropped his bag carelessly on the couch in the sitting room and dragged his legs to the room.

He lay on his bed, facing the ceiling, his face masked with sadness.

‘Should I have accepted to see mum?’ he thought within himself, turning to the other side, facing the window.

    Chapter 124“I'm so sorry” The Doctor said “Oh no!” Alexa muttered, squeezing the edge of her top in her hand, her face curled in sadness and pain.Charles sighed, resting his head on his palm, his elbow resting on the table.“It’s Retrograde Amnesia and in days to weeks it fades away and the patient can begin to recall things” The Doctor added, seeing how dejected they were.“So, in a few days to weeks he will start remembering things?” Charles asked for more emphasis.“Hmmm… yeah” The Doctor said “For some people it takes months, some years, some never, we have seen different cases, but for the case of Mr Bryan, he… with proper help, love and support, he should begin to remember within a few weeks.” Doctor Cole added. Alexa took in a deep breath, her countenance looked a bit relieved. “Showing past pictures and talking about past memories when he’s there can help trigger and fasten his healing process, but he will definitely get better” Doctor Cole said confidently with a smile.

    Chapter 123Charles held Alexa’s wrist with one hand. Both of them looked at Bryan with eagerness like a family at the end of a race line, waiting for their family member to emerge as the winner.“Br…” Alexa tried to call him again, her lungs almost out of breath.Charles glanced at her “Call him” he said“Bryan!” she called out loud again. “Bryan… we’re here” Charles said againKeon was watching both of them, couldn’t fathom the cause of the dramaHe then mimicked them and called out what they were saying with sounds from his throat.“Bryan please wake up, we are here, we are waiting for you” Alexa said, her heart beating fast.Bryan's eye balls moved with his eye lids closed, like someone dreaming. “Bryan, Alexa is here, wake up” Charles shouted, holding Alexa even tighter like she wanted to run away.Gradually, slowly, the eyelids of Brayan parted from his under eye, opening his eyes. Alexa’s jaw dropped “Bryannnn” She screamed! Her hand dropped from Charles’s grip as her knee

    Chapter 122Tears gushed out as those words fell out. She quickly cleaned them before they touched Keon who was asleep. She had placed him on her lap.She took in a deep breath and blinked the tears away. “So… yeah… where do I even start from?” She said and chuckled. The type of chuckle that carried sadness. “I don't even know how you'll feel about me… for how I acted. It was so…” she paused and looked up, thinking of the right words to use “... irrational” “I'm sorry I let my impatience get the best of me. But I think we… we can still make it work. I missed you so much, even when I was hurt and in denial. Even though I hated that I missed you then…” she paused and took a deep breath again, stopping herself from crying. “I'm sorry I'm walked away when I should have fought for you… for us… I…” she blinked again“I thought all men were the same. I thought I was getting deceived again”. She paused and looked at him“Bryan… Bryan, do you hear me? Please move, do something, Keon, yo

    Chapter 121Charles was dozing off when the sound of his phone ringing woke him up.He took up the phone, squinted his eyes in a frown when he saw who was calling.‘At this time… What's up with her?’ he thought, a little annoyed that she disturbed his sleep.“Hello” he said as he picked up, his voice cold.“Hello, Mr Charles. This is Lisa”“I'm aware” he said, almost rolling his eyes.“Okay, I just wanted to ask how you're doing and how Mr Bryan is”Charles wanted to speak, but she quickly cut him.“And I also have something about the project I'm working on to tell you” Lisa said, having absolutely nothing in mind.“What's that? Your project manager should report to me about that” Charles said, his tone a bit less cold.“Yes, it's just something really urgent I feel you need to know” Charles went silent for a while, he looked at Bryan on the bed, thinking if he should allow Lisa or not. “Hello, are you there?” “Yes, I am… um… okay, no problem, come 8am tomorrow” Lisa almost jumped

    Chapter 120Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was Gomez.‘Why is he callinggg?’ she thought.A bit offended and scared at the same time. “Hello, good evening Gomez” she greeted, her voice firm and soft.“Hey, Alexa, how are you doing?” “I'm fine Gomez… um…” “What's wrong?” “I just think it's a bit late… I had a long day, so…”“Oh, I understand. I only wanted to hear your voice” Gomez said.“That's.. kind of you” Alexa said and chuckled in a weird way. “Yeah, I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow and also to Keon” he said.“Ohhh” Alexa rushed to say, almost cutting him.“I'll be… I might just be a bit… um…” she cleaned her throat, not wanting to offend him.“quite busy tomorrow” she sounded like she forced those words to come out of her mouth, squeezing and releasing her face, overthinking how else to say it. “Ah, you seem really busy in Texas, building something?” Gomez asked with so much anticipation. “No… well… maybe yes… we can say that” Alexa said. “Okay, I hope I

  • Alexa, the Billionaire's Contract Wife   Pink Noses, and planning for what may be.

    Chapter 119Alexa left the hospital that night, her heart juggling cycles of falling apart and regaining strength.It was so hard for her to stay positive, her heart sank into her stomach as she got into the uber taking her home.She looked out of the window, staring at nothing, her mind gripped with the fear of something bad happening to Bryan.‘How will I be able to forgive myself? How will Keon forgive me when he hears the full story?’ she ruminated in her heart as the car drove in the dark streets. The street lights lit up the streets, but darkened her already pained heart again, they reminded her of the night Bryan met her on the roof top and offered her a job… the job to be his wife and bear him a child. That was the same way she stared down the streetlights near a far. She felt nostalgic, a tear escaped from her eyelids and ran down her cheek. For a moment, she almost forgot she was not alone. She quickly cleaned it and hoped the uber driver didn’t know she was crying. Afte
