SOLD TO THE ARROGANT BILLIONAIRE 30
TRISTAN TWO WEEKS LATERI've been in Willow's ward for the past two weeks, ordering her food, helping her take her drugs, and keeping her company almost every hour. Hailey starts to complain that I've been clingy, but she's pathetic. I'm only doing this so that she would get better soon and hopefully remember me.As for the nurse, she was suspended and given a year's leave for operating a dangerous procedure without the doctor's consent. However, she was later suspended for six months after it was known that Willow didn't suffer any of the side effects.Willow laid on her bed quietly, trying to avoid eye contact with me, as if she was now afraid of me."You don't really have any memory of me," I said, and she sighed and nodded."Do you at least remember your family?" I asked, hoping to get a conversation started since she wouldn't talk to me after physically witnessing me trying to murder that nurse."I don't really know much, but I think my mom was a doctor. She took me in after she

WILLOW'S POVAfter Tristan, I think that's his name, I now had my breathing space. He wouldn't leave my sight for two weeks. Thank you, Markus."So who is he?" Markus asked, taking down some of my diagnosis."I don't really know. I don't have any memory of him. He says I know him, but I've never met him in my life," I said as Markus dropped his clipboard."So you were somehow emotionally attached to him..." He said in a whisper, but I could still hear him. I may have lost my memory, but I ain't deaf.I ignored him as he continued to examine me and give me a check-up."Well, you are perfectly fine. It's just you have mild amnesia. You can't recall whatever memories you've lost. It's like your brain shut down those memories, and I'm not sure you can ever remember..." Markus said as I felt bad. Whatever I had with Tristan is gone forever."I can't even have a flash or a blur?" I asked, feeling desperate for any glimpse of the past. He stopped what he was doing and came close to me, sittin

HAILEY'S POVI left Jaxon at the casino and headed to the hospital to bring lunch for both Tristan and Willow. I hoped Willow would be discharged soon since there weren't any side effects and so on. Roaming through the halls, my hands were occupied with Chinese takeouts as my eyes darted to Tristan, who let out a heavy sigh as he made his way to me."Tristan ... You're supposed to be with Willow.""I'm going home..." he spat bitterly as his fingers massaged his temple. He looked so frustrated, trying to cope with Willow's amnesia. Willow hasn't been making things easier for him by keeping herself distant from him. She once told me she feels uncomfortable when he's around.Tristan is always with her 24/7, and she's pretty uncomfortable with that since Tristan is occupying her breathing space, trying to do everything possible to get her to remember him, but it's all in vain. It's been two weeks now, and the doctor said if she can't recover her memory soon, those memories will be nothing

WILLOW'S POV Markus leaned in closer slowly, and I felt uncomfortable as he pulled back strands of my hair. His face was a breath away, and his fingers danced down my arm as our noses brushed slightly. He tilted his head sideways, possessing his grip on my upper arm." Markus..." I tried to say, but he silenced me, his eyes darting to my lips again, until the door came kicking down as Hailey barged in, wearing a shocked expression. Markus jumped back."Your eyes are perfectly fine. Please take the drugs prescribed, and also you'll be discharged tomorrow. Don't forget the offer," Markus said as he made his way out with his wooden clipboard. Call me insane, but I think Markus almost kissed me and just covered it up. I got saved by Hailey kicking the door, disrupting our supposed kiss. I hope she didn't notice.She glared at Markus as he exited my ward, and her eyes darted right back to mine. I may not remember a lot of things, but I'm sure I've never been given that stare before. It gi

HAILEY'S POV"Do you love Tristan ?" I waited for a reply maybe any chance she could remember Tristan .She froze, inhaling sharply as if trying to recall something, then her hands instinctively went to massage her temples, as if battling a headache."Willow, are you alright?" I asked, concern evident in my voice, as she folded in distress, letting out screams of anguish."My head..." she blurted out, struggling to endure the sharp stinging sensation, while I rushed to her side."Willow, I understand it's difficult, but please try to remember," I pleaded, but she only screamed louder, the pain overwhelming her."I can't, it's hard, my head hurts, Hailey ..." she yelled, her distress palpable as she collided her head against the metal stand of her bed."Willow, nurse, please help!" I screamed, calling for assistance as a nurse hurried in with Markus."What happened to her, what did you do?!" Markus yelled, his accusation cutting through the chaos, but I ignored him as he moved to Willo

TRISTAN'S POV Hailey convinced me to go pick up Willow since she's stuck at The Mall and won't be able to make it.I brain stormed ways to start a conversation when I get there, I decided to take an elevator as a nurse rushes in, giving the conclusion that she was late.Her ring caught my attention, I realized it's the exact replica as mine. My mother gave it to both me and Willow before she died. The nurse pressed a button and the elevator starts going up."Nice Ring." I said as she shot me a flirty smile as she tried to show it off the more.I pushed a button and the elevator came to a stop, I noticed how her smile slowly fell with caution."My girlfriend has that exact Same ring." I chimed, she giggled, probably thinking I was hitting on her. I took a good look at her, she wasn't an eyesore that's for sure but she was she chuckled pissed me off."Thank you, aren't you charming," she responded as I took her hand, intertwining my fingers with hers, and pinned her against the wall."

TRISTAN'S POV As days turned into weeks, Willow remained true to her word, avoiding me at all costs. Despite her presence in our home, there was an undeniable distance between us. Her schedule kept her occupied, leaving early in the morning for her program and returning late at night, sometimes even past midnight if she was overworked.In an attempt to move on, I threw myself into various activities, trying to fill the void she left behind. Jaxon, set me up on multiple blind dates, but none of them seemed to pan out. It felt as though Willow had broken something within me, leaving me unable to connect with anyone else.Her absence weighed heavily on my mind, her memory haunting me even as I tried to distract myself. It was fucking pathetic that she had this much effect on me.Jaxon tagged me along on a mission and asked if I could assist him. Well, it's time you knew about my relationship with Jaxon. He's a tracker who has been working for the government for 10 years, tracking down m

WILLOW'S POVProbably every nurse in the hospital hates me. I haven't made any friends lately, and worse, I'm being bullied. It's like high school all over again. Especially Betty—I'm a nurse in training under her mentorship. All she does is tell me to go mop the floors, clean the test tubes, and make the beds. It's like I'm a janitor or a cleaner. And worse, she's been gossiping about me, spreading rumors that Markus and I had sex in his office countless times. I'm insulted and murmured about as every nurse secretly glares at me whenever they get the chance.They taped a 'Bitch' note behind me as an attempt to prank me, and every nurse laughed, making me look like a fool. Seriously, are we in high school? What was I thinking accepting that request? And worse, I barely sleep.If I utter a word to Markus, I'm afraid of what he would do to Betty. Last time, he threatened to give her a year's suspension just because she didn't knock. He scares me, and while she may be rude, I don't want
