Lucas POV“It is an improvement, and any improvement means progress.” Dr. Kipling announced after we brought up what had happened earlier in Katherine’s office. She was all smiles, listening to our excitement. “If you are up to it, I suggest you revisit old places important to Katherine. Maybe, she can remember them.” I nodded at her suggestion and decided to call Dan to arrange a trip for Katherine, Erin, and me back to Kent. At first, I could not help having misgivings because Kent did not hold good memories for me. My mother still lives there, and I don’t want to chance upon her.These past years, I have minimized meetings with her if I can’t avoid it. Now, I have no choice because the doctor suggested it.I have to let go of my prejudices.This is all for Katherine’s recovery. “Is your mom still in Kent?” Katherine asked when we were in the car. It was the first time she inquired about my mom. “Yeah.” I nodded, positioning the car smoothly to make a left turn. “Do you hav

Katherine POVThis is what I had been missing all my life: Laughter. I watched my daughter interact naturally with her father and smiled to myself. To think that in the past, I never thought this would happen. She climbed on her father’s back to ride piggyback. Lucas indulged her. They played inside the room. Their laughter rang in my ears. Gone was the Lucas I knew previously - the strict, touch-me-not kind of man who thinks he can always run the show because of his money. He was far more relaxed now. There were still worry lines etched on his face, but I can attribute it to running a conglomerate like SF.My gaze turned to our daughter. Seeing the happiness on my daughter’s face, and could not help but utter a small prayer of thanks for allowing Lucas to find and become reunited with us. A while later, Sara knocked on our door to inform us that dinner was ready. Erin clapped a hand to her mouth. “Oops! I was supposed to tell you that.” She admitted. “It’s okay, sweetie.

Katherine POV“Since when?” He asked, looking serious. Since yesterday. I felt a prick on my neck outside the apartment building, and just now, I saw a shadow in my peripheral vision. Someone out there is watching me.” I winced because I sounded like a child snitching on someone, but I also could not help being alarmed. I don’t want to scare myself or him. But considering what I did a while ago with Agatha Richards, I am not deluding myself that she has learned her lesson. No. Agatha might just be biding her time and will strike when the time comes. I wanted to be prepared. Lucas squeezed my shoulder before he began stroking my back. The action seemed to ease my fear somewhat. Though not totally alleviate it. When he noticed that I was calmer, he went to his desk to get his phone and called Dan. Dan came in accompanied by a man I had not seen before. Lucas did not give me time to speculate when he introduced the man. “This is Rod. He and his team are shadowing us all the t

Veronica POVI saw the doubt creeping on Katherine’s face and felt trapped. Then, I looked at my half-brother venomously. “How dare you, John?” I cried, but the conviction died the moment the blank look on Katherine's face. The lack of expression made me eye her warily. John had successfully turned her against me. In one swift and unexpected move, John was able to railroad Katherine’s faith in me. “I know you were thinking the worst, but let me explain.” I frantically searched for words to make her change her mind, but I knew I had lost it when Katherine eyed me with disdain. “I never would have thought you would betray me like this, Veronica. You who made me believe that not all friends are traitors like Noreen. You, who continuously protect me from Noreen, would one day become the person who would hurt me the most.” And then, tears fell from her eyes.Katherine’s tears were something I did not expect. It only goes to show how much the thought of my betrayal hurt her. Right

Katherine POVI closed my eyes, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. “He had been apprehended. The police were here yesterday to get my statement.”I don’t know what to say. It feels surreal. Before I woke up, I had no idea who John Quinn was except for the warnings Lucas gave me. But now that I had recovered my memory, it felt like I was transported back to five years ago, to that fateful day that changed my entire life. Lucas and I shared a thoughtful look. “If it weren’t for Veronica calling Oliver. We might not be able to rescue the two of you in time.” At the mention of Veronica, something in me shifted. I darted my tongue out to wet my parched lips. In my head, I was weighing things over. Should I tell him? Maybe Lucas saw the change in my expression, so he forced the issue out.“What is wrong?”“Veronica.” My voice trailed off. There was this ache in my heart when I uttered her name. “She is in the other room. She is out of danger as well.” I heaved a sigh. I woul
