TRENTON'S POV

"Mom, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. I'm twenty-eight now, aren't I?"

"Have you been in contact with Deena lately? You have Denise now, don't you? Stay away from her and don't talk to her anymore."

I groaned softly in frustration and ran my hand down my face. "Mom, you've been saying that since I came out of the hospital. Isn't she your daughter-in-law once? You're acting like she's some criminal."

"Trent, I'm just worried about you. I'm worried that you'll remember and..." She trailed off and I proceeded to sign the document I was reading.

"And?" I pressed, waiting for her to complete her sentence in mild interest because I know she's hiding something.

"Nothing. Just do what I say, okay? Anyway, I don't think she'll bother you and Denise. I visited her house the other day and she had a date with someone else."

My fingers on the paper paused and my hold on the phone tightened a little. She was what?

"Maybe it's the best for you two. You're happy with D

    DEENA'S POVAfter finishing the movie, we still had to promote it by guesting and doing interviews. When the movie finally came out a few months later, everyone's hard work paid off when it became the movie of the year.The movie has successfully garnered and earned triple to our original budget. It has trended worldwide and received a lot of good reviews from critics.Not only that, we were overwhelmed by the amount of awards we received. Alexander won best actor for the second time, while it was my first time to win a major award and it's for the best actress category. I just beat legendary and some of the best actresses in the industry.I didn't expect to win at all, so when my name was called, my eyes almost popped out of its sockets and it took some time to process it until Alexander escorted me to the stage.I held the award with my shaking hands and tears welling up in my eyes. I was overwhelmed with so much happiness."I... I'm sorry. I honestly didn't prepare any speech becau

    DEENA'S POV"I finally found you." Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and my eyes instantly welled up with tears. He was in front of me in a second, pulling me in his embrace, wrapping me in his warmth. I melted and cried my heart out, pouring every emotion I bottled up inside me, and finally letting my guard down after fighting for God knows how long."I thought you left me. I-I thought you died," I croaked, clinging desperately onto him, as if he will disappear soon and I will realize that everything was just a dream."No," he said, pulling away so he could look at me. "I fought with everything I had to be with you again. I knew you were out here somewhere. I knew we'd be together again and I was right." He leaned his forehead on mine and we stared at each other for a moment, just cherishing the moment. Alex's face lowered and his lips claimed mine in a kiss full of longing and love."And we'll never part again." I said with a smile when we pulled away."I won't leave you ever ag

    DEENA'S POV"One date and you became the talk of the town, Dee. A lot of speculations are going around about you and Alexander." Cassie chuckled and showed me an app where my name is currently trending, and I only turned my face slightly because my hair was getting styled for today's shoot."Won't it affect the movie badly? I mean, we've only filmed three scenes. You know how possessive fans can be." Jane voiced her concern and I pursed my lips to think. I've been in a lot of dating scandals, but none of them were real because they knew I was married or in a relationship, but it's different this time because everyone knows I'm single. "I don't think so. I mean, Alexander has always been vocal about his crush on Deena, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. Plus, I think it will help us with the promotion of the movie." "How's the date anyway?" Jane asked the moment the makeup artist stepped out of my tent. My eyes shifted from Jane to Cassie who were both waiting for my response. "He

    DEENA'S POV"Mom's happy that you chose to socialize and even go on a date instead of crying in a corner." My Mom said behind me while watching me prepare for my dinner date with Alexander. "I guess I got used to the constant disappointment and heartbreak I have experienced from the moment I met Trent, Mom. I figured there would be no use of me wallowing in self-pity. Besides, I have you, Rosie and my friends to support me." I finished my look with a setting spray and turned to look at my mother while gesturing to my outfit and makeup."How do I look, Mom?" "Perfect as always, sweetheart." She kissed my cheek and held my arms. "You have a smile on your face, but your eyes can't lie, Deena. Hopefully, this new guy can bring back the light in them." "Too soon for that, Mom. We'll just get to know each other and maybe help each other with the script." I pulled out of her arms to go into my walk-in closet and chose a pair of silver flats to match my white satin dress. "A mother can a

    DEENA'S POV"What the hell was that, Dee?" Ethan angrily asked me the moment he went back to the table. "You said he had amnesia, but you didn't tell me he had a freaking girlfriend! Does he have any idea what he's doing? He might have forgotten you, but has he gone stupid?" "Calm down, Eth," I asked him and looked around to make sure no one was listening. I dragged him away from the others so I could talk to him alone. "I... I had no idea they got back together. All I knew was that she was his first girlfriend who came back home after so many years." Ethan gave me a look that is a mixture of shock, anger and empathy. "Damn it, Dee. And I thought things would be fine between you two once he regained consciousness." I blinked back the tears from my eyes and showed him a smile, even when I was dying inside. I have only found out that they were back together tonight, and God, it was hard to act like everything's fine and that it's not killing me inside. The whole night, I resisted th
