Chapter One

CAMILA Camila and her junior colleague Richard stood before the top 1 biggest pharmaceutical company in the USA, the headquarter of her current workplace in Georgia. TheSlyvester Inc. She gulped as she craned her neck up to see the high end of the skyscraper. She had never dreamed of coming here as all her life has been around Georgia."So, Richard? This is the location where the tests were mistakenly delivered too?" She turned to the intern, arching a brow."Yes, the call was from here. His name is Fred or something, told me to come take them back to the lab." Camila sighed. "This was your mix up, so go collect them. I’ll wait outside.” She pushed him forward to the entrance."You're supposed to come with me. Mr Dante sent both of us here." Richard pouted."Nope, you handle it alone." She replied.He scoffed as he turned to go."Whatever." Camila muttered. Camila had always gone out of her way to avoid that man. The CEO.Rumors of his cold attitude followed him everyw

Chapter Two

CAMILAAt Camila’s Therapy Office,"Anything you’d like to add?"Dr. Patel's office was warm, soft lighting, plants in every corner. A safe space.Camila twisted her hands in her lap. "It's been 2 years. Shouldn't I remember something by now?""Memory doesn't work on a schedule." Dr. Patel leaned forward. "But you said you've been having fragments?""Yeah…Like a dream. Feels like I remember some things but not everything.” Camila swallowed. "And now... I'm working with someone who says we've met before.”"Eric Sylvester." She added.“You really can’t remember if you’ve met him before?”Camila nodded."Does your body react to him? I mean in anyway?" Dr. Patel asked.Camila nodded again. Her hands were shaking again."What does your instinct tell you?""That I need to remember. That whatever I'm forgetting... it's important."*******One Week Later,“Uhmm…Camila? You need to see this?! I can’t believe this and I’m so happy for you right now.” Evie burst into her the office with a letter.

Chapter Three

Evie was at the door waiting for her."So what's up? Are you going to accept the offer or you want it passed down to me? I'd be glad to go in your stead." Evie grinned, tugging her dress."Go to your office, Evie. I need some space to think about it." She sighed."No need to think about it. I've moved your things outside and there's a cab waiting for you to take you to the HQ." Abruptly, Camila turned to her with a questioning look. "What! Don't worry, I paid for it.""Evie, I need to at least find a place to move into before i even start going to that HQ! " She groaned, rolling her eyes at her."The thing is, everything has been made available for you.""You're talking as if you participated in pushing me out of this place." Mila turned to her fully, folding her arms. She must have something to spill."Well, you can't say or tell so let's keep it that way. All you need to know is that, Mr Dante and I have made everything ready for you. Best of luck, sugar. I can have your office all

Chapter Four

ERICEarlier, From up here, glass bent the light, steel blurred at a distance, his eyes wandered to his tablet, then paused.Someone had come through the revolving doors. It was Camila.He leaned back a little and watched. Quite amazing.She swept her gaze across the lobby.That was different.She dropped her pace near the living wall, just enough to register that tangle of plants managed with impossible precision. Oh God!She stopped at the elevators, hands at both sides of two boxes on top of each other, just waiting. No phone, no twitchy movements, not looking for anything to do.He let out a slow breath. The unsettled feeling of spotting someone who moved through the world at your own pace. He must be crazy at this point because he's not even supposed to be staring this long at her. What's special about her?The elevator doors slid shut behind her.He sat up straighter, the meeting ahead suddenly not so routine anymore.For the first time that day, he felt fully awake.And thoug

Chapter Five

CAMILA"Dr. Camila?"Camila jerked back to the present. Eric was watching her, his phone still in his hand, that wallpaper glowing between them."Are you alright?" His voice was different. Concerned, not cold."I'm fine." Her voice sounded far away. "I just... I need some air."But as she walked out of the conference room, her hands were shaking.That dress. That white dress from the hospital.It looked exactly like the one in his wallpaper.Why?>>>>>>At her office,Her hands shaking slightly as she set down her laptop. The meeting had gone well better than expected but Eric's question haunted her."Have I seen you before?" He asked her twice already.She'd been asking herself the same thing since the hospital. Three weeks. Gone. The doctors said it was the drug, whatever they'd slipped into her drink one night. Rohypnol, maybe. Something that erased her like she'd never existed in that time.She pulled out her journal, the one her therapist insisted she keep. Dates, notes, fragments

Chapter Six

CAMILA"What are you going to use those condoms to do?" Camila inquired, staring not so surprise at her."Oh common. Don't be so naive. You know what it's used for. " Evie nudged her."You're getting more corrupt. Day by Day. I still don't know why am still friends with you." She shook her head, taking out her phone to look at the time.It's past 8 already. She sighed."We can never break up girlfriend." Evie chuckled, while she does a retouch of her makeup.Camila thought of how the party would end like, seeing that his boss will definitely be there. What would he think of her? When she's supposed to be buried in the project work and to make it successful.Whatever. It's just once. They might not even cross path.Evie walked out majestically in her heels while Camila quickly fixed her dress and looked around the building. She really hates loud parties but Evie had begged and dragged her here and she's left with no choice as far as her apartment will be ready. Music blasting through

Chapter Seven

Outside the building, as they walked to his car, he opened the door and got in. Camila looking at the car like it's a bad omen. Her body suddenly uncomfortable in that dress. "You will not get in?" Eric arched his brows at her. "I don't bite and if you want to go separately, I don't give a fuck about that." He added and ignited his car. "Sorry, I'm just nervous. I apologize if I’m a burden to you.""You're already a burden since Evie is so talented in manipulating me to giving out my apartment to you. Don't fucking waste my time or I will leave you for real. And trust me, I won't open my gate once it's 10pm. I assure you that." He replied.Camila sighed and walked over to the car and entered. Inside the car, it was supposed to be cool with the AC on but she felt hot. Sitting beside his boss in his car wasn't something she's expecting. Having to work with him closely was enough. Why does she keep getting close to him? At this point, running away from him is no longer possible. If E

Chapter Eight

Finally, he broke it first. "Do you want to come in?" He cleared his throat softly.Camila blinked, surprised. "Into your house?""Unless you prefer standing outside all night." A hint of sarcasm, but not cruel.She hesitated, then nodded. "Okay."***CAMILAThe interior of Eric's home was exactly what she expected and nothing like it at the same time.Minimalist. Clean lines. Expensive everything. But also... empty. Like a showroom instead of a home.Watson trotted beside her, clearly happy to have a visitor."You have a beautiful place," she offered, following Eric through the massive living room."It serves its purpose." He grabbed two bottles of water from the kitchen, tossed her one.She caught it. "Thanks."Silence.They stood in his kitchen, the awkwardness building."So..." Camila started."So," Eric echoed.More silence.Then Watson did something unexpected, he brought his favorite toy to Camila and dropped it at her feet, tail wagging.Eric's eyebrows raised. "He never does

Chapter Nine

CAMILAThe cafe was blessedly quiet compared to the chaos inside TheSylvester's headquarters.Camila wrapped her hands around her coffee cup, watching through the window as staff rushed back and forth, preparing for tonight's Annual Innovation and Research Gala. In less than an hour, the building would be swarming with donors, board members, and New York's pharmaceutical elite.And she had to give a speech.In front of everyone.Including Victoria Ashford.Camila's stomach churned at the thought.She'd successfully avoided Victoria for two days, ever since the woman had shown up at Eric's house. Not that Eric needed her permission to have visitors. His personal life was none of her business.But that didn't stop the jealousy that had clawed through her chest when Victoria walked through his door like she owned the place.Camila had retreated to her apartment yesterday, telling herself she didn't care. That the twist in her stomach was just indigestion. That the way Eric looked at Vict

Chapter Ten

CAMILACamila gasped, the vision releasing her as suddenly as it had struck.She was on her knees. When had she fallen?Sweat dripped down her temples. Her hands shook violently.What the hell was that?A memory? A nightmare?It felt real. Too real.She crawled to her bag, pulled out her journal with trembling fingers.Blue truck. Large. Commercial maybe? Car accident. Camila stared at the words. They meant nothing. Everything.Was this connected to the missing weeks?Or was her broken brain just throwing random images at her now?She closed the journal, shoved it back into her bag.No time to process. No time to panic.She had twenty minutes to pull herself together and become Dr. Camila Damien, confident pharmaceutical researcher. Yes!Not the terrified woman with holes in her memory and a mother who hated her.Camila stripped off her work clothes and pulled on the emerald dress. The fabric was cool against her overheated skin. She touched up her makeup, forcing her hands steady. C
