Inaya’s POV I checked the clock in the conference room for the 100th time today, “They are over two hours late.” “I already contacted them and they said they will be here soon,” Anna responded with her gaze lowered. “We are sorry for keeping you waiting,” Mrs. Elena said as she entered the hall, “We met again,” a dirty smirk displayed on her face. I would never forget her. I remember clearly how she wanted to show me the office hierarchy, and I wanted to show her what real hierarchy in society looked like. “Hmmm,” A tight smile formed on my lip as I pointed at the chair and she took her seat. Mother Chloe entered the room and behind her was the one whom I thought was dead. The one whose heart I still very much beat for. I stood frozen as I watched his every step till he took his seat beside Mrs. Elena, “We are sorry for the lateness, we had a meeting.” He didn’t acknowledge my presence, he didn’t even glance at me, “Sure…. Mr Henderson.” “Our client isn’t here so we

Inaya’s POV Hayes turned pale like he had seen a ghost, “What do you mean Oncology department? How… How is my sister doing?” I didn’t want to tell him yet because I knew he would sound like this. I knew he was going to react this way. Hayes loves Keona more than his life but he will never show it. I put my hand on his shoulder, “Hayes…. Calm down…. Breathe in__ Breathe out.” Hayes took multiple breaths in and out before he finally calmed down, “How is my sister doing?” I shook my head, “I don’t know yet.” “Please let’s go see her,” Hayes pleaded with not only his mouth but his eyes. His eyes pleaded the most, they held desperation. “Sure,” I nodded my head, “Dad, please send me the information,” I said to my father, and he sent it immediately. Hayes, Eveline, and I left the hospital in search of the information that Father had given. It took hours for us to arrive at the destination. It was a rural area with muddy roads, local markets, lots of farms, and businesses. It

Inaya’s POV I had the chef make all Seraphina’s favorites. We sat at the table and watched her eat. She eats just the way Keona eats. “What is Daddy always like to Mummy?” Eveline asked mid-meal. Seraphina dropped her fork on her plate, “Daddy always hit mummy with his belt but mummy says they are playing. Daddy always brings that aunty to the house, he always eats before mummy eats, and sometimes locks the kitchen so mummy and I won’t eat. Mummy doesn’t have money to pay my school fees and daddy doesn’t give her, even grandmama and grandpapa don’t give her. Mummy always complains about her tummy but nobody ever says anything but I have seen blood in the bathroom, is mummy okay?” Eveline glanced at me with sad eyes, “Baby, it’s fine.” I touched her lightly, “Do you have friends at home?” Seraphina shook her head, “Daddy doesn’t let us speak to anyone.” I felt bad for her, “Your cousins will arrive soon, you can play with them.” “Daddy said I didn’t have cousins,” S

Inaya’s POV “I’m sorry….. yes…. Sorry, I didn’t get you.” I didn’t understand what she meant, and I needed her to be clear. “Can you repeat what you just said?” “Keona is in the last stage of stomach cancer,” Eveline broke down over the phone. The air became chill. I might have just forgotten how to breathe. I thought seven years ago was my worst year but I guess this might be it after all. So much was happening at once and I didn’t have time to process it. I swallowed the tear then managed to ask, “Where….. where are you?” “Keona has been moved to a private ward,” Eveline said, then gave me information about the ward before she ended the call. I stood up hopelessly from the bed, “Mom…. Dad…. I need to go somewhere.” “Is everything alright?” Dad asked out of concern. I bit my lip as I managed to control my tears, “Hmmm,” I said, and walked out of the ward. I found my way to Keona’s ward. Hayes and Eveline were standing outside with the doctor. “What’s go

Inaya’s POV The doctor‘s office was as cold as ice. Goosebumps crawled slowly on my skin. Eveline has become a softie; she was the hard girl of the group, but today she cried loudly. Her sob filled the room and it made me even colder. Hayes sat there in denial. He tried to speak with the doctor and the doctor was trying to console him. I understood everything. I had experienced this before but this time it was worse. A part of me was lost the day I found out Akira had cancer but today, it felt like something was left inside me. We had just met, but I couldn’t believe we were parting again, and this time forever. Keona was quiet the whole time; she didn’t blink an eye, and that made me worry for her. “What of Seraphina?” Keona’s soft distant voice rang in the room. “She… she is at my place, the nanny is taking very good care of her alongside my kids and she is currently receiving home……..” “No,” Keona shook her head, “Seraphina doesn’t know how to do her hair…. She doe

Inaya’s POV I beat my chest heavily. I wanted this pain gone but it was impossible. The tears I had been trying to hold back the entire time came rolling down my face. I couldn’t scream on the road so I cried silently. I squatted to the ground, my face buried in my hands, as I poured my heart out. I was scared of what the future held. We were holding up with the intention that Keona was alive and we would meet soon, but how will we cope now when the situation is going to be life-changing? Without a drop of warning, the rain poured down in force. I stood up from the floor. I was too heavy to book a cab or I hid somewhere. Maybe if the heavy rainfall pours on me, it will lighten my body. “When we get to forty, let’s all go on a trip with our families,” Keona’s voice echoed in my head. The road was bustling with cars, but my world was silent. My memories were the only sounds I could hear. “Let's open a small cafe by the seaside,” Keona’s laughter echoed in my head. It

Inaya's POV The head may not remember me but the heart surely does. The heart remembered what he had once called him. “Maybe I mentioned it sometime,” I lied because I didn't want to stress him. Beckham and I were the only ones quiet during the drive to my house while the kids were making noise in the back seat. “Do you often think of Akira?” The question came to my mind and I immediately let it out. “Who is that?” Beckham’s answer shattered something inside me. Did he lose his memory? What happened to him? He might have forgotten me because of what happened to Akira, or he might be pretending just because of Akira, but he would never let go of that name. Akira is Beckham’s existence so I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that he doesn’t know who she is. Let’s say he lost his memory, what about Serena? Didn’t she remind Beckham just once of Akira? “Is she someone I must know?” Beckham asked again and this time I shook my head. I brought out my phone and text

Inaya’s POV I was curious about the nightmare he was talking about. What had happened in the past few years and why was an nda needed? “After Beckham’s accident, he was critical and no one was allowed to see him. His family permitted only Serena to see him, and when he woke up, his brain went back to the year he had his first accident…” “That’s why he doesn’t remember me,” It all made sense now. “That’s when Mrs. Henderson announced to the media that Beckham had died; she wanted to protect him by keeping both sisters away. He began mourning his sister, Lola, all over again; it was a painful sight to see, knowing he was supposed to mourn his Akira. The doctor asked us not to stress his brain all over again; everything was going fine, then Serena popped out with a newborn child. Beckham named that child Akira but he felt something wasn’t right and changed the name to Vardan.” “Mr. and Mrs. Henderson allowed Serena to bring a child who isn’t their blood into their h

Inaya’s POV I miss when Nevan was still himself. He would have known how to help me with this, he would have moved the earth just to find the man who called Beckham before his accident. “Inaya,” Eveline called as she entered the study, “I was worried about you….. oh… You have a guest… Nelson,” She looked around the table, and disappointment was evident on her face. “You both must be having a wonderful time.” I hastily stood up when I saw she had misunderstood the situation, “Eveline, it’s not what you think.” Eveline scoffed, “What am I thinking?” “We know this is a tough time but I can assure you, we aren’t celebrating or anything like that,” Nelson stood up and defended. “There is food, vodka, wine, and cigarettes on the table and you are telling me it’s not what I think?” Eveline looked at the two of us with pure disgust, “Keona is dying and you are enjoying a smoke.” “Yes, I feel hurt about Keona, she is my sister, she is my world, but I have a family to think of

Inaya’s POV Waiting felt like torture but the day was finally here. The day Nelson finally holds the party is finally here. I was going to make sure I confronted Serena about her son. “Miss Inaya, we are ready,” Ella, Nevan’s nurse, said from the front of my room, and I gave her a go-ahead to take everyone to the car. I was going to drink a lot, so I didn’t plan on driving. I made the driver take the wheel. The kids were dressed in children’s clothes, Nevan was dressed in a suit while I wore something similar to what I wore to one of Beckham’s parties. The event wasn’t for kids so Nelson asked one of his workers to take the kids to one of the rooms he had arranged for them. It was just like I had imagined. It was a business party. A lot of business people were there including my parents, friends, and familiar faces I hadn’t seen in a long time. “Keona,” I called out when I saw her, “I didn’t think you would come,” I smiled at her as we exchanged hugs. “I just thou
