Gabriel’s P.O.V.“So, you mean to say that Lauren had been taking care of the work of all these departments all this time, and now you can’t find a suitable replacement of her?” I asked Victor angrily while throwing the file that I had just finished reviewing a few seconds ago.Victor flinched harder when the file hit his hand and fell to the ground but didn’t look up.“For God’s sake, Victor, she is also a human, not a superhuman or something like that. She had a lot of tasks to finish related to my recovery, and yet she supervised five departments’ work, managed things for the company and me with you, and also held several meetings with various people to get more business for the company. You want me to believe that?” I didn’t know why I was so angry, but I was now fuming in anger.Victor still didn’t speak, but his silence was like a sharp knife slashing my heart.Because everything that I was refusing to believe was true. I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling overwhelmed, help

Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)My ears started ringing and I heard screaming all around me.This wasn’t the first time that I heard it, but this time, they sounded closer to me than they were in the past.“Bro….. please shut these voices up.” I cried in despair when the voice increased the severity of my headache.“Take this med, Lauren. Everything will be okay, love. Take this med.” I heard Caellum yelling in panic, and something solid pressed on my lips.I took the pill but couldn’t gulp it down.Water slipped inside my mouth. I felt it, but those noises couldn’t stop.The chaos in my mind was so intense that I couldn’t register what Caellum was doing with me.I felt a tight embrace holding me.I shrank in his embrace, suddenly feeling safe and protected.“It’s okay, kiddo. It’s okay. I got you. You are safe. You are safe.” I heard him comforting me, and soon his voice became louder than those noises.I felt my mind slipping into the darkness, and I let it be.Caellum’s P.O.V.“It has

Lauren’s P.O.V.By the time the nurse finished rebandaging my ribs and helped me change into the fresh top, my heartbeat still hadn’t returned to normal.It was ridiculous, but confusingI met Vincent only twice, but every time I had felt that familiar pull, and safety of his embrace.We met every time when I was emotionally unstable. So, I didn’t pay attention to that pull, but….Something felt different this time.“Done,” Sofia said, patting my shoulder lightly.“You can go now. And try not to overthink things too much.” She winked in the end while standing up.I frowned at her, confused. “What do you mean?”She just gave me that same teasing smile and walked out, leaving me pouting lightly.Get a grip, Lauren.I scolded myself mentally and slowly stood up. Good thing was that I didn’t need to use the wheelchair anymore, but bad thing was that I must be more cautious in my movement than before because of the bandage around my chest.I walked out of the room, and the moment I stepped

Lauren’s P.O.V.Do you trust me?The question and the answer that I gave were constantly haunting my thoughts ever since I came back from the hospital yesterday.That blunt answer showed my unwavering trust in Vincent if we talk in terms of psychology.But I barely know him. My gaze was locked at the horizon, but I wasn’t seeing anything there. I was sitting at a recliner in the balcony of my bedroom with a book in my hand, but I hadn’t flipped a page all this time.Ever since yesterday, after that conversation with Vincent, both my heart and my mind were in chaos.I barely knew him, but his proximity didn’t overwhelm me. I didn’t hate him being close to me when I hate people invading my comfort zone.Yet I was comfortable in his presence.If…. If Vincent held an important place in my life before I lost a part of my memories, Caellum and Joyce would have told me about that.But they didn’t.Is Vincent related to something painful?If this were the case, they wouldn’t have let him come

Vincent’s P.O.V.“What happened? Why did you call me so urgently?” I asked Caellum after entering his office.The room was still as neat, clean, and organized as it had always been, but something was off with the atmosphere.Caellum was standing facing the ceiling-to-roof glass window. He didn’t move in my direction.His hands were thrust inside his pants pockets.He didn’t reply to me but stayed in the same posture.I noticed how stiff his shoulders were.I stopped beside him on his left, facing the window too.“You are late.” He remarked coldly.I thrust my hands in my pants pockets.“I was in an international meeting,” I replied calmly, looking at the skyscrapers around the building.The sun was bright, but the atmosphere inside the room was gloomy.“What did you say to her?” He asked me coldly; the edge in his voice was sharp.I stiffened but didn’t look in his direction.The accusation in his voice was heavy and filled with anger.“What exactly are you referring to?” I asked him
