He slowly dropped his hand and rested it on his lap. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed. After what felt like a long silence, he finally spoke up. “We are married.”I shook my head. There was no way I would be married and wouldn’t remember that. “You are lying,” I replied. “There is no way I’m married.”The man exhaled deeply and picked up my hand resting on the bed. He nodded, looking sad. “It is okay. I understand that you are confused. You just woke up not quite long after a fatal accident, it is okay if things get wired up.”“Fatal accident?” I repeated, my eyes looking lost. “How did that happen? Is that why I was admitted here? I nearly died?”“Yes,” he answered. “But you survived it. You have always been a strong woman. I know you will survive this too.”I shifted backward on the bed, feeling overwhelmed with everything I was hearing.“What happened?” I asked. “Did anyone else die in the accident? What about my parents?” I looked around, feeling scared about their well-be
Honey. The breeze blew gently through the window, glazing softly against my skin. My eyes fluttered open, taking in my environment. I was in a room that seemed much more like a hospital ward.Confused, I sat up on the bed, the slight movement shooting pain in the back of my head. I observed the ward. Every single thing seemed strange. I couldn’t place a thing together.Why was I here?While I was gathering my thoughts, the door leading to the room I was in opened and a young woman wearing a blue scrub walked into the room. She smiled warmly at me. “I’m glad to see you are awake,” She said and looked at a file in her hands. “How are you feeling?”I furrowed my brows, not understanding what she was talking about. “Who are you?”She looked at me awkwardly. It was like she didn’t expect me to ask that question. She blinked before replying. “I’m a nurse, I am here to check on you.”She paused.“Wait…” She dropped her hand, focusing her attention on me. “Do you remember what brought you h
Honey.I stood before the mirror, admiring my reflection. I smiled as I brushed my hands along the soft fabric of my wedding gown. Today was the day I was going to be married to Lorenzo, and if you ask me how it felt, the honest truth is that it still felt like a dream. We had been through a lot. Fought through the storm and here we are still standing. Together.The door leading to my room creaked and I turned to see Lorenzo walking into the room. He smiled when he saw me. His eyes swept across my dress. He walked up to me and cupped my face. “You look so lovely in this dress.”I smiled and brushed my hand along the collar of his three-piece suit. “You look great too.”He looked at my hand and held it gently. He patted it and looked at me. “How do you feel?”I shrugged. “I feel like a conqueror. I mean I finally get to become the wife of a vicious man like you.”He laughed and shook his head. “You know I will never hurt you again, right?”“Of course, I do,” I said. “Why do you think
Honey.I picked up my bag and got out of the car. Amelia was standing by the curbside, holding her luggage to her side.“Amelia!” I exclaimed in excitement, rushing to hug her. Immediately, I got to her, and I engulfed her in a tight hug. She hugged me back and patted my back. My wedding was on the weekend and I had invited Amelia to attend it. Obviously, she had initially denied coming because of who Lorenzo was, but after an hour of conversation explaining how Lorenzo had changed for the best, she reluctantly gave in and now she was here!She pulled back from the hug and shook her head when she caught a glimpse of the ring on my finger. “I can’t believe you traveled to LA to challenge him for taking your son and ended up getting engaged to him.”I sighed, admiring the engagement ring around my finger. “Well, life is unpredictable. Don’t you think so?”“I think you are making a big mistake."“Trust me, Lorenzo has changed for the better.”She narrowed her eyes and studied me. “Is t
Honey. Five Months Later.Over the months, Lorenzo had kept to his words. Every day, he was learning to be a better version of himself and being there for our son. He and Leo had gotten along well.We still haven't been able to find Carlo’s location, but given that it's been four months with nothing happening, it seemed Michael was backing off on whatever he wanted to do with Leo and Lorenzo. Lorenzo was still finding ways to get back at Michael, but all his efforts had been futile. Although Leo couldn’t stay in Australia, I had taken him to visit my family in Australia for a few days before returning back to LA. Since I wasn't around to manage the business I had started up there, Amelia and my sister, Desola, were helping me do that. I had just finished a call with my sister and headed downstairs for lunch. I saw the chef walking out of the kitchen and told him to prepare a light meal for lunch. He smiled and told me that Lorenzo and Leo wanted to prepare the meal for lunch. I did
Honey.After I had spoken to Leo, I texted Lorenzo that Leo was willing to talk to him and that he already knew that he was his father. Not long after, Lorenzo came to my room. I let him in and stood at a distance, giving him space to have some alone time with Leo. I was worried that the whole situation was going to get out of hand, but thankfully it didn't. Lorenzo must have learnt from the morning incident because he gradually allowed Leo to open up to him. They didn't talk about anything serious. They just played Leo’s favorite game. I laughed as Lorenzo kept losing. Either he was going on purpose or not, it was helping Leo feel more at least around him. My heart almost exploded with joy when I heard Leo casually call Lorenzo his dad. Lorenzo must have heard it too because his smile widened and he continued watching Leo teach him how to score a goal in the game. After teaching Lorenzo countless times, Lorenzo finally won the game.Leo celebrated with him, giving him a high five.
