Velaré—a high-end restaurant with private dining rooms, tucked away behind a nondescript black façade on the streets of Manhattan.

Velaré was invisible to the average New Yorker. No signs. No menus in the window. A high-end tailor shop on the left, art shop on the right.

Like a veil of night, it was hidden behind a giant black gate. A fingerprint panel, seamlessly embedded in the stone wall, invisible unless you knew where to press.

No door handle, no bell. If your name wasn’t already in the system, you’d walk right by. The perfect discretion.

June stood staring at the walls, her hands hung numb by her sides as though her body was reacting to what her mind couldn’t catch up with. Tears ran down her face and she didn’t bother to wipe them away. Her mind felt as if it were collapsing in on itself.

She had started remember things that made no sense— unclear faces, ambiance, rushing through her mind at the speed of light without any clarity. No distinction between what’s real, what’s ima

  • No memories of my Billionaire Husband    Chapter 17

    “No, please, Alex. I will not go. Please, I love you.” “I do not want you, Martha. I admit that initially, I felt bad for you for ending the engagement so suddenly.” “But, right now, I’m so glad I didn't end up with someone as lowly as you.” “I never want to see you again, not in my company, not in my home, and especially not with my wife.” Three bodyguards entered the office like a movie scene just after he concluded his statement as though it were planned. “Take her away,” he commanded them, his voice cold and firm. “No, no!” She crawled rapidly towards him, trying to get away from the bodyguards, but they rushed and grabbed her. “Noooo!” she yelled. When she noticed that her pathetic display wasn't moving Alex, he just stared at the situation with an icy demeanor, she began to speak rashly.” “You are married to a pathetic woman and she is going to be the end of you, you’ll regret ever treating me like this. You'll come back crying.” “I promise you!” She yelled as they l

    “I just want to talk.”Alex laughed sharply. “I’m not interested in having any form of conversation with you.”“I think you might want to. Your wife is still my close childhood friend, remember?”“What do you want?”“Let me in,” she said with a low tone and a faint mischievous smile.“Okay,” Alex responded.Martha ended the call and stood up from where she was seated, gently adjusted her dress and she ran her fingers through her hair, sweeping it to one side. “I’m here to see the CEO,” she said, making sure that it was very loud. “I’m sure he sent word of my arrival.”“Please, wait a moment, ma’am,” said the attending staff. She took out the office phone and made a brief phone call to Mr. Smith’s secretary.“Please take a seat. Someone will come and take you to him shortly.”“Ugh, making visitors wait! I expect a lot more from THE Grand Hotel. Do you have any idea who I am?”“I’m sorry, ma’am.”“You better be,” she said harshly.The CEO’s office is the room with the most exclusive a

    There was no action, so the voice repeated the same statement with louder volume this time, echoing through the walls of Alex’s office. Alex had gone to urgently attend to some important matters, leaving his phone behind on the office table. The display dimmed and the screen faded to black. . . . June let out a sharp exhale and smiled, bewildered by the sight in front of her—it was immaculate and incomparable to anything she had ever seen. “Who knew he had such good taste in cars, if only he weren’t such a horrible person.” It was Linda’s first time in the showroom. She was in charge of taking care of the building, but even she didn’t have the authority to be there. Alex has impeccable taste for cars and collecting them was his thing although a few of them were passed down to him by his late father. June was in awe as she walked down to the very last car while gliding through every one of them with her fingers. She couldn't believe that one of them could be her’s. “

    The words were as soft as a feather. “Christian!” she said out loud, bolting awake. She was drenched in sweat. Her heart pounded like it was trying to break free from her chest. With both hands, she held onto her chest and for a moment, she just sat there—breathing fast and trembling. The room was silent, but inside her, everything screamed. The name still echoed in her ears. She rushed to grab her phone but all she had access to were basic calls and messages. She still hadn't figured out the passwords to her locked apps. Getting her phone fixed would erase all the data and that was not an option. Her phone was the only way she could tell herself the truth about her situation without fear of being misled. She heard Alex’s footsteps as he walked through the hallway and a thought came into her head. So, rushed to meet him before he reached the staircase. “Wait!” she yelled as soon as she forcefully opened the door. Alex turned and walked towards her. “Good morning, Ju

    As soon as she felt his grip loosen, she grabbed her bag and stormed out of the room. “June, baby, please…” “June.” “June!” His voice grew less audible as she moved farther from the room. “Ma’am, here’s your jack—” She snatched it from his hand without waiting for him to finish and stormed out of the building like her life depended on it. “What happened, ma?” She ignored Mr. Williams’s concern and entered into the car before he had the chance to open the door for her. Mr. Williams stood stunned for a moment. He was worried, more like terrified of what Mr. Smith might do if he found out something had happened to her under his watch. He got into the driver’s seat and cautiously asked again, “Madam, is there a problem?” “Just drive, please,” she responded, her voice filled with agitation. As the car pulled away from Velaré, she let out a heavy sigh. The truth she had uncovered was simply too much to bear. Had her life not already been burdensome enough? She didn’t just have a

    Her eyes slowly looked down to where he had placed his hands on her face and like a dirty rag, she picked it up and tossed it out.“Who do you think you are, to touch me in such a manner?”“Why am I even wasting my precious time on you?” she muttered.“Excuse me, I have somewhere to be.”He laughed, his shoulders faintly bouncing rhythmically. “I didn’t know you had finally woken up. I was going to check up on you, I promise.” He stopped talking and lowered his head to match her gaze. His hand was placed on the doorframe as he looked deeply into her eyes.“Did you wake up from a coma with an attitude or something?”“I don’t mind though. I like my women rough.”He raised his hand again to caress her face, but she looked at him sternly, as though she was going to murder him.With his hand hung mid-air, he looked at her, unsure of what to do, but it was clear as day that she wasn’t joking.Ashamed, he closed his fingers into a fist, lowered his hand, and retreated from her.He looked de
