Someone in Vienna's POVI was sitting in my office when drew came in."Boss, there's no news yet.""And Why is that?"I asked anger lacing through my voice."Am sorry boss we searched everywhere""What do you mean by you searched everywhere?So you mean he vanished from the face of the earth?"How can the best of my men not be able to carry out a simple task? I thought out loud..."And what about the girl did you find her? ""No boss "Find them I said, my voice thundering in the whole room.And he hurriedly left my office after saying "yes boss"I've been trying to find two people who vanished the face of the earth.One was someone who needs to be found and the other someone who needs to be punished.It's either they both are so good at hiding or my boys are beginning to slack off. If it's the latter I'd have to do something about I can't afford to let slackers work for me.*****Eric's POVThe ear-piercing sound I heard, caused me to start running in the direction I heard the sound f
Keera's POVWe sat under the tree with Eric in silence after I told him about not wanting to leave the island.Neither of us said a word for a while, my mind was filled with a lot of possibilities of what could happen when I returned...And for a moment I just wanted to stay here on this island and never return.I wanted to ask Eric about my family but refrained from asking because am not sure what I even wanna know about them...All these were going through my head and I didn't know when I fell asleep...The next thing I know was I woke up with my head leaned on Eric's shoulders.I don't know if I did while I was asleep or if Eric was the one who tilted my head to rest on his shoulders...This position is not as comfortable as you'd think, on the contrary, it's horrible now my neck feels like it's carried tons of heavy boxes...I raised my head and looked at Eric, his eyes were closed and I thought maybe he was asleep so I tried to get up cautiously so I don't wake him up but then he
Keera's POVEric and I went back to the cave after catching some bird that looked like a hawk but I don't know if it's really a hawk.When we entered into the cave, Eric kept our game on the ground and started to make fire. He had already removed the unwanted part at the site of the hunt so all that's left to do was roast it.I watched with keen interest as he made the fire and roasted our dinner like a professional, which made me wonder how long he'd been here for.We were both quiet, none of us made any attempt to say anything, Eric only concentrated on making our dinner ready, while I just watched him silently.After a while, Eric brought down the meat and cut it before handing me a piece, and we both ate it in another wave of silence.After we finished our dinner, Eric stood up and asked if I wanted to come outside with him, I then got up and followed him.We went outside and sat down beside the lake, we sat not too far from each other. I raised my head and looked up at the night
Eric's POVwhen I woke up this morning keera was no longer on the bed I thought she had left the cave but later heard the sounds of splashing water from the hot tub.I usually don't sleep in but I did today maybe because I slept late last night. I couldn't fall asleep after what happened.when Keera left after we kissed, all realization dawned on me. like what the fuck was I thinking when I kissed her, I know I'm not in love with her and I probably would never be so why did I do that? I asked myself a thousand times while pulling on my hair.I don't want to hurt her she deserves someone better than me someone with fewer issues and someone who can love her with the whole of his heart and not just part.I know I was attracted to her that I'll admit to, but love is on a whole different level which would be hard to attain because it drove me here...I know I still love jade even with everything that happened, and part of me knows no matter what I will still love her, and that kills me eac
Keera's POVWhen Eric apologized for the kiss last night, I immediately felt flustered, I couldn't even imagine how my face looked with the way my blood drained completely from it. I was so dumbfounded that I couldn't even find any words to say to him, so I just fled angrily and went to the only place that came to mind and I wanted to be was on top of the hill...I believed climbing up that hill would help me calm down a little bit, but it didn't, if anything it made me more furious than I had already been, I kept on planning ways to murder Eric in my head and live alone here or die of boredom.I was still unable to come up with a valid plan, and before I knew it I was at the top of the hill. Even amid all my furiousness, I couldn't help but notice how dried the hilltop was something I had failed to notice the first time I came up here with Eric...Which made me confused as to why the top of the hill was dried if the waterfall was right beneath it.I could hear the sound of the gushin
Eric's POVWhen Keera asked if we could stay a little bit longer, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow not sure if she meant it or if she only said that to pull my legs since she always seems to be joking, but when I asked her why, what she said and how her face looked so down, which was totally the opposite of the jovial person she was just a couple of seconds ago, and that made realization dawned on my face.I was only thinking about myself, I didn't consider if Keera wanted to leave just yet. I mean I remember her saying she doesn't want to leave just a few days ago, I should have known she'd be scared to face the outside world, completely oblivious of whom to trust out there.And that reminds me of my thoughts on how I'd planned to let her stay with me and gauge the situation before letting her go back home because I needed to be sure that she is safe to be back home. I wanted to tell her we might be able to stay a few more days, but I had to check a few things first before I do
Keerah's POVwhen I woke up this morning it was from a nightmare as usual but today something was different, I remembered. I remembered what happened in the dream and it felt so real like I was living that exact moment.In the dream, I was somewhere high and someone was trying to push me, a lady to be precise. she appeared to be someone I know, but I'm not sure what kind of relationship I share with her.I was struggling to fight her off as she tried to push me off from the high place, it looked like some rooftop of a building. I held onto her arms as I tried so hard not to fall off but she seemed a little stronger than I'm as she forcefully yanks my hands off from mine, and then pushed me off.As I fell from a place that high, the fall was endless, and I didn't just feel scared from the fact that I might die from that fall, I felt a terrible heartache from the feeling of being betrayed by someone I completely trust...I woke up right at the moment I had hit the ground and I was compl
Keera's POVwhen I recalled the fact that we were set to leave this place in a few days, I couldn't help but feel sad as I realized I do not want to leave this island anymore. This is a life I've come to love and this is a life I honestly want to keep living.I don't know how I felt about facing the outside world without any memories of myself and I'm also completely frightened by the fact that I might not really be able to trust anyone.Even though Eric had asked me to trust him, I don't know if it only meant for as long as we were here, I could trust him or if he was also indicating that I should trust him even after we are to return to Vienna, Austria...The fear of what I might find outside this place, coupled with the fact that I might lose Eric as soon as we were back in Vienna, forced me to say what I did next..."Can't we just stay here-" I paused, before adding "forever?" I asked Eric worriedly, as I couldn't keep the worries bottled up any longer.Eric watched me closely befo
