Keeion's POV
When I handed her the bracelet, she immediately stared at it. She became interested in that bracelet because she probably thought that the bracelet would help bring back her memory.
She touched the engraved word there several times.
"Ellie," she read it. "Is this really mine? Is my true name Ellie?"
I glanced at her. Her eyes spoke as she looked up and stared at me. Among the three of us, me, Tedson and Arya who are here, I am the only one who can answer all her questions. That is also my instruction to them, not to let the woman in front of us know what happened to her unless I'm the one who will answer her.
"I already told you, that's your bracelet."
She's not just only complaining, she was also naughty. I told her twice that the bracelet belonged to her but she still didn't seem to believe it.
If she repeated her question, I would not hesitate to take her bracelet back. My patience is short. I didn’t want to answer her repeated question. That's just a waste of time!
From Manila, it took almost 8 hours to get here to answer her questions. She's bothering me so much.
"How do you get this bracelet?" She is still confused.
"The Doctor gave that to me when you were rushed to the hospital. That's the only thing you can use to find out your identity. All your belongings were burned including the car you rode in that night," I explained.
I know this is what she wants to know. She wanted to know and be enlightened about what had happened to her. Why is she now lying in bed with wounds and even lost her memory.
Now, all her questions will be answered.
Her forehead furrowed. "Car?"
"Yes. It was a car accident," I simply answered.
I started telling her everything.
I was on my way home from the office when I saw the car she was riding that collided with a large tree on the side of the highway. No one was passing through the area so no one else saw and immediately helped her. The back of the car was on fire when I saw her, she was obviously badly hit in that accident. Because I'm the only person there, I don't have a choice, but to help her.
I pulled her out of the car before it finally caught fire. She was unconscious at that time and almost lost blood. Her whole face was almost covered by her own blood. Her head was the most affected, probably because it hit the steering wheel. Her body was almost stuck there as well so I had a hard time picking her up. Fortunately, she has a slim body so I found a way and easily got her out of that fvcking car. I wasted no time in rescuing her because the car she was riding in was almost on fire.
Only the bracelet was recovered because she was wearing it. The Doctor gave it to me when I rushed her to the nearest hospital. At the same time, I called the police about the accident. I'd better let them know right away because I might be blamed for what happened when in fact, I just helped her.
I took care of everything myself because I had no one else to call. I was in the hospital overnight until she was transferred to a private room. She also stayed in the hospital for 3 days and I requested that she be transferred to the hacienda to be closely monitored. We have our own family Doctor so there has been no problem with the process.
She was silent for a few seconds. Her brain processes everything I say. She already gets the answers to each of her questions.
"Is that why I don't remember anything because my head was hit so hard?"
"Yeah," I nodded. "It was a memory loss resulting from a hard blow to your head because of a car accident."
She gulped. "How long is it supposed to be? When will all my memories come back?"
"If I'm not mistaken, almost one year," I replied.
That’s also what the Doctor told me. This type of amnesia lasts for about a year. It can still be done if the recovery is fast.
"No way! That's too long," she complained.
She started to growl again. But even though her face was irritated and she was an a****n when she spoke, I couldn't help but to admire her beauty.
She got a lot of scars on her face, but that was not enough reason for her angelic appearance not to appear. I realized that she is still beautiful even though there are many scars on her face. What if those scars gradually disappear? She will be even more beautiful.
She has a heart-shaped face, dark brown eyes, small nose and reddish lips. She also has a fair skin and slim body type. She's indeed beautiful.
"How am I now? How am I now that I don't remember anything? Those memories of mine are gone." She sobbed.
I averted my eyes from her because I knew it was going to be a drama. This is often the scene of a patient who has lost her memory. It seems like you have completely lost your memory and that there is no possibility of getting everything back.
I left in front of her and went straight to the sofa that was there. I sat on the single sofa. "You're overreacting," I started. "It's just a short-term memory loss. You can dramatize us when your memory is completely gone," I said.
Tedson and Arya followed me. The two sat on the long sofa just next to me. They just kept listening because they were afraid to join the conversation especially since I didn't give them permission to speak.
They know how to obey my rules.
"You know, you're ruining the moment! I just want to dramatize so I can feel my condition." She rolled her eyes. "Because you're obviously always serious. Maybe you don't know how to smile, am I right?"
I heard Tedson laugh softly at what the woman said so I immediately glared at him. He immediately fell silent because I cast a bad look at him.
"I don't want to waste my time on your immature moves, Miss. I'm here to answer all your questions. Just tell me if you have nothing more to ask because I still have a lot to do. You don't know how bothered I am because I helped you. "
She caught my eye.
She's the only one who can do that to me. Everyone doesn't have the courage to look at me with a look like she's giving to me. The others almost fold when I meet them, what more if I stare at them with my sharp gaze? But this woman? I don’t know where she gets the guts.
She didn't know the person she was shooting a bad look at.
I have never forgotten the words she said to me earlier. About her intention to slap me and now, she glared at me and even retorted. She was already scolding me.
"Why? Who told you to help me, huh? Did I tell you? No, didn't I? It's your choice so I don't care if I bother you now."
My jaw tightened as she answered. I just didn’t let her notice it and I just stayed calm.
But Arya, she almost talked to the woman and requested to stop answering me in a negative way. Arya knows what I can do when I lose my patience.
"Instead of thanking me now, you have an appetite to act badly towards me." I chuckled. "I wish I had just left you there with your burning car."
If I hadn't been in that place and I hadn't seen her, she would probably be in mourning now. If I had left her there, maybe it would have been reported that a woman had collided and unfortunately, lost her life.
I didn’t lose sight of her so I noticed she was a bit conscientious. But she was still more assertive about being a complainant. "Why should I be grateful, you still haven't helped me completely. This help is still lacking. I'll thank you later when I get the help I want from you."
Is her face as thick as a dictionary? She was really eager to ask for help.
Isn't it enough that I saved her life, treated her and let her stay here in our mansion? Does she still want to ask for help from me?
Really, huh?
"You don't have a thick face, do you?" I asked bluntly.
But instead of being ashamed of what I said, she gave me a smirk. I don't know if she's annoying me or she's just really sloppy.
"You've already helped me so I'll take advantage of it. I just want one more help. After that, I won't bother you anymore."
I didn’t hesitate to ask what more help she wanted to ask for. "What is it?"
"Help me to know my family background. I can't leave here if I don't know where my family is. They are also the only ones who have the ability to bring back my lost memories, they will remind me of my personality." There was a look on her face that she was seriously begging me.
I could not speak immediately.
She wanted to know her personal background. Through that, she will know everything about her life. Everything will come back. Everything that had happened before would come back to her mind.
Tedson sneezed causing me to go back to trance. My deepest thoughts were erased.
I took a deep breath then averted my eyes. "I already hired a private investigator. He will investigate your background information so you don't have to worry about that. I'll take care of that."
"Good because I don't want to stay here with you," she said.
She always speaks frankly. She would say everything she wanted to say. She doesn't even think about every word she utters if she can hurt others because of her unbridled mouth.
I wanted to take the woman away, but I didn't continue when Aunt Cora entered the room. She was carrying a tray with only food and drinks. Arya immediately lends a hand to help Aunt Cora.
Aunt Cora is already old so Arya is always there to help. Arya treats the old woman like a mother because Aunt Cora almost raised Arya. Dad found Arya in a vacant lot near the hacienda when she was a baby. My Dad also immediately searched for Arya's parents but he did not return it to them because Arya's parents admitted that they could not give their daughter a life that she deserves. That is why our family just adopted Arya, raised her and let her study. The help that Dad gave her was not wasted because Arya faithfully served us.
Arya works here at the hacienda, like Aunt Cora who has been serving the Ruiz family for almost 40 years.
Even though they were servants, we didn’t make them feel different from us. Aunt Cora is very close to me. She has taken care of me since childhood because I was orphaned early by Mother because she passed away due to blood cancer.
"Have a snack first," Aunt said when Arya set the tray down on the glass table between us.
Tedson immediately grabbed the food. When it comes to food, he is always in the lead. He will not allow himself not to be the first and he will be angry if he runs out of food.
"I hope you choke," Arya whispered just enough for me to hear because she was on my left side next to Aunt Cora.
I ignored the snack that Aunt served because I was still full.
I turned my gaze to Ellie who was planning to lie down.
"What will you do?" I asked her.
The three next to me were already paying close attention to the woman.
"Sleep?" its questionable answer.
I smirked. "Who gave you permission that you can sleep now?"
She raised her eyebrow again. "Oh my gosh! Don't tell me that even my sleep is controlled by you?"
"Yeah," I calmly answered. "You are here in my territory so you know how to obey all my commands. You need my permission for every move you make."
She rolled her eyes and ignored the killer look I was giving. "If you don't let me sleep, what do you want me to do? Duh, I'm still lying here in bed so don't order me first."
"I just wanted to let you know what the deal is for everything I've done for you since you've been here."
She was too peevish to favor her with everything she wanted.
Nothing is free now.
My money and time were also wasted because of her.
"Well, I'm not going to wonder why I have to pay for all this. It's not obvious on your face that you're helping without asking for compensation." The second time, looked at me badly. "Tell me, how can I pay you, Señorito Keeion?"
I smiled, a little one. "You will work with me. You'll be my new personal assistant."
Ellie’s POV"These legs of yours, Ma'am, do you still feel pain?" asked the nurse who was currently inspecting my two legs. He gently touched my left foot with a bandage.I nodded. “Yes, but only occasionally. Not unlike last week when I was really dealing with the pain in my two legs. ”A few days have passed since I regained my consciousness.I feel that the medicine I am taking is working because my wounds no longer hurt so much. I was slowly moving my two arms but my legs, I still couldn't move. They are still heavy and I can’t move so I’m still lying down in my bed until now.Even if I wanted to get out of this bed, I couldn't. My legs are still too weak to walk."It's normal that you can't move it yet, especially since your legs were badly hit by the car. But based on our observation, your recovery is fast. I won't be surprised if one day, you can walk again. We just need to do some therapy to keep the veins in your legs alive,” the nurse explained.What he said gave me hope. I
Arya’s POV"Oh, Arya, come and join me for breakfast."I met Aunt Cora entering the kitchen when I was about to leave the kitchen. I just came here for a drink for a while because I was really tired walking from the plantation of flowers up to here. It's not that far so I chose to just walk.Another is that I was able to exercise more than when I called Manong Luisito to pick me up using his tricycle. The tricycle was provided by Senyor Alejandro, the Father of Senyorito Keeion, to be used by those who work here to deliver the crops and used by people if ever if they are in hurry and also for them not to get tired walking. There are seven tricycles the Hacienda owned just to provide a free ride.That is how Senyor Alejandro values the people who work here. He provides all the necessary equipment to make the job easier. Not only that, Senyor also built a three-story building house for the servants and their families. That apartment is all free! It was just a house he gave to the wo
Keeion’s POV“But, Sir, how about your meetings? And you are on the schedule to have a dinner meeting with Mr. Samson at 7 PM tonight, ”said Haezyl, my secretary, confused.It traced in its action that she didn’t know what she was going to do after I said I would be gone for a week. She even followed me here to my office just to remind me of the important meetings I had to attend."Cancel it, just simple as that."I sat in the high back executive office chair while squatting and just calmly looking at Haezyl. She was obviously stressed right away even before my one week leave started.Her hell week is coming again because she is the only one who can pile up all the papers. She will also take care of other meetings that I will not be able to attend. I told her everything to do while I was away from the company.I started to stare at her using my irritated look.She never questioned me again. She knew I would be just as annoyed when she asked again the same questions and she knows that
Ellie’s POVI was dazed because I felt I was dazzled. I was not mistaken because I saw the sunlight hitting the open window towards me. The curtain was not fixed there so the sunlight could enter freely.I turned to the living room to see if there were two nurses watching over me and begged to close the curtain so I could go back to sleep. But I did not see nurse Hans and nurse Ria there.But I saw a man on the sofa. He was lying there and sleeping calmly. He was wrapped in a blanket and had a pillow around his head. He was comfortable to look at in his position because the sofa was long and his whole body fit there.What is he doing here?He was facing in my direction so I could clearly see its sleeping face.I smiled because there's no trace of being rude and stubborn while he's asleep. It doesn't seem that this person is very cold and serious when he's awake. When he's just asleep, he's like a kitten that you want to be a pet. But it's like he will turn into a lion again when it wa
Ellie's POVWe were already in the middle of a meal and I was still continuing to steal a look at him secretly. He doesn't catch me because his focus is on the food in front of him. Even with food, does he still look serious? He's kind when he is sleeping, that's the only time he will look kind and approachable."Are you done staring at me?" His previously bowed head now rises once looking at me. He filled me with sharp eyesight.I was swallowed when my heart beats faster.Did he know I was looking at him? How? His attention is on his food! "What are you saying?"I stared at him then turned my gaze to the toasted bread I was eating. I was just eating calmly but deep inside, I was almost sweating because of the shame I was hiding.He just smirked.He didn't pay any attention to me anymore. Until I caught his eye but only for a moment. He no longer moves his food. I'm the only one eating here. It's just the two of us here at the long table. All the helpers are on their housework alrea
Arya’s POV"What the hell, Tedson!"Despite countless times, I once again took his face away from my arm. I almost had to put a barrier between us without me having to repeatedly remove its face from leaning on my right shoulder. He's so heavy and yet, he still leaned on! I have a thin shoulder, I can't carry him!When he will test my patience, I'll drop him in the car. He will sleep on the street! It's not my fault anymore.He'll take care of himself and find out what's going on when he wakes up. It's up to him to guess what happened. I also don't care if he gets mad at me. After all, he is still the one to blame for what happened to him.If he wasn't arrogant and pretended that it was easy for him to drink alcohol, he wouldn't end up like this. He feels like he is strong and does not get hit immediately by alcohol."Ma'am Arya, what happened to Sir Tedson?" Her voice was mixed with concern.I looked in the rear view mirror of the car when Uncle Emman, the longtime family driver of t
Ellie’s POV"Ma'am Ellie…"As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw nurse Hans' face.My eyes widened on the sofa where he was sitting earlier but he immediately stood up when my name was called.He quickly approached me."W-Why?" I wondered because of its reaction.His look was full of excitement when he saw me awake. It looks like he wants to tell me something and he can’t wait to let me know.Even though his appearance was doubtful, he was still able to give me a frugal smile before speaking. "Señorito Keeion called you to go downstairs." At the same time he said, the same way he scratched his head.I was not surprised by what he announced. It is now the third day that their boss has called me downstairs. Perhaps we need to start the therapy session. Ever since he came back here, my therapy session has been flawless. He was always there while the therapist from Manila was doing therapy activities for me. I heard from nurse Hans and nurse Ria that that person is one of the best therapists
Arya’s POV "Hey, Arya!" I could hear the very loud scream of the person chasing me now. I just got out of the car and immediately stepped away from there. But no matter how fast I walked, he still wouldn't give up chasing and teasing me. "The one who will ignore me will become ugly and barren!" It is a threatening reason for me to stop walking. He used a forbidden technique on me again. I know it's just a word but sometimes, it is possible to make it true. There are times when what he says actually happens. It seems like he has the ability to make his words happen. So I stopped now. I’m just scared to become ugly and worse, barren! I want to build a happy family, that’s one of my dreams. "What?" I asked him angrily as I turned in its direction. He had just gotten out of the car and remained standing there. He knew I would stop so he wouldn't hesitate to chase me and walk towards me. He smiled angrily at me. "What happened last night?" Wouldn’t he stop questioning about that?
