He took his hand back in a daze. But the girl reached out and held his hand tightly as if she was a little rabbit, very scared, and mumbled again.
"Don't leave me alone. No ! Stop the fire. Somebody please help"
Devian could not help but reach out to rub her head. This somehow gave the girl a sense of security and soon she fell asleep.
After confirming that she was sleeping, Devian left the room.
Next morning, bright sun shining and the rays from the window lit the whole room giving a warm feeling.
When she opened her eyes, the bright light felt uncomfortable so the girl instinctively closed her eyes. She again opened her eyes slowly only to know that she was in someone's room. It was bright and spacious room.
Seems like she was saved by someone last night !
"Where am I? Why am I here?"
"And... Who am I?"Has she really lost all her past memories ! No way !! How is she going to find out who she was!?
She was in a state of panic
She sat up, but as she was weak she struggled. A bag kept on the table not far away from the bed caught her attention. She walked to the side of the table slowly and cautiously, hesitated for a while then decided to look into it.
She caught hold of a paper as she pushed her hand inside the bag. She took it out. It was a half filled form of a well known designing competition. There was photo attached and only the name 'Arien Jenner' along with two designs. With this bit of information she figured out that it was her name. Unfortunately all the other columns were empty. She had no other information about herself!
Arien deliberately started searching the bag for more information but at last she got nothing.
She was helpless. She didn't know about herself. How could she be calm! Suddenly she felt a sharp pain on the back of her head. Everything in front became blur and she fell on the ground with a thud!
Not long after, a middle aged woman rushed inside and put her back on the bed.
The next time when Arien opened her eyes she saw an old man wearing a white coat.He said "Child, your injury is severe. You should have a good rest and avoid moving around."
"Thank you" Arien smiled.
Her smile was as bright as sunshine.
The doctor nodded "good girl" and left.
Soon after the middle aged woman walked in.Seeing Arien trying to sit she walked forward and helped her."Miss, I am the caretaker of this house, Anne. You can call me whenever you need anything."
"Thank you aunt Anne" Arien smiled to her.
Arien could not help but ask Anne, "How did I come here?""It was the night before when our master bought you home. You were injured badly and unconscious." Anne replied.
"Oh, I see." Arien nodded.
"Miss, now you should have a good rest."
Aunt Anne helped her lie down "I will bring you your breakfast right away""You can just call me Arien" Arien smiled. "I don't want to lie down anymore. My body will start rusting !"
Seeing her so approachable aunt Anne could not help but pinch her rosy cheeks and say "Your body is still weak, child, you should eat first, after that I'll accompany you to have a walk outside."
Arien obediently lied down. Soon after Anne came back with a bowl of porridge and juice.
She fed Arien and then accompanied her out.Arien was fascinated with the beautiful flowers in the garden. She gain lot of knowledge about those flowers from aunt Anne.
She almost forgot that she knew nothing about herself.
Really! How could one forget that !
Arien was a beautiful and young girl around her early twenties. She had a flawless and delicate skin with a slender figure and shiny long hair. Wandering around the garden in a beautiful white dress she looked like an angel from heaven.
......
In the Ace Corporation Inc, special assistant, Dean Rian passed a folder to Devian. Devian open the folder and went through the pages.
"Interesting ! She should not be told about this." Devian spoke. His slender finger tapping rhythmically on the table "First find out who the person is."
"Yes, director" Dean accepted the order and went out of the office.
There was a cold smile in Devian's eyes.
...
*Looking for their first interaction right? Coming soon ! Enjoy!*
It was evening. Arien sat in the balcony watching the beautiful garden at the back of the house eating fruits which Anne gave her. Thinking about what to do next. She can't live here forever. No, she has to find who she is. She has to do something. But ... What?Arien asked a lot about this 'master' from Anne while walking in the garden. She got to know that he was rich yet cold-blooded and ruthless from the information aunt Anne gave her.Definitely aunt Anne did not said those words directly but somehow the works of this master pointed to this.She didn't want so much favor form anyone which she would not be able to pay back. All her food and clothes were prepared by the 'master' of this house.She was living here from past two days
"A million dollar!" Arien exclaimed."How would I get it in just a week""Since you can't pay me million dollar you can agree to my condition. Without paying you are not allowed to leave this place." Devian chuckled.Her intuitions told her that the condition he would put forward is not going to be a good one."I'll try my best to pay you within a week." She spoke out confidently, hiding the waves of emotion stirring in her heart. Yet she was unable to suppress it."Is that so?" He saw through her mind but didn't expose her. "I'll wait then."He kept the file back to the shelf and was about to walk out of the room when Devian heard her saying ,"Can I please borrow your phone, I
She sat on the bench and was confused about what to do next. Her mind was in a mess when suddenly a young man from nowhere came and stood in front of her. "Arien, where were you? After you went away I searched everywhere but still didn't find you.""Who are you?" Arien was shocked"Come on, don't mess around I'm Harry Chester I'm your Harry.""Huh? Harry Chester? Who Harry Chester?""We loved each other so much. How could you ask such silly question?" He reached his hand to touch Arien's nose but she dodged.She stood up and looked straight into his eyes with an emotionless face."He looks very confident and genuine. Is he speaking
"It's getting late. You should rest. Let me show you your room. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to look for a job." Harry led the way while happily speaking.Arien followed behind him. It was a big villa. Even if it was much smaller than the one Devian owned, it was still enough for a big family to reside in. They walked to the first floor. Suddenly something caught her attention. She glanced inside the room through the half opened door. It was the master bedroom. At the bedside table there was a photo of her. She entered into the room and looked at it closely.Yes, it was her in the photo. She was smiling brightly. She turned her head towards her left and saw many other frames hanging on the wall. She was there in every photo, smiling brightly as ever.Unconsciously, she smiled look
He stood straight, tidied his slightly crumpled shirt and held Arien's hand. Her cold hands were in his warm palm which gave her a sense of security and comfort. But as she took a step she felt a sharp pain in her right foot and struggled to stand clenching onto Devian's shirt. Devian's eyes swept from her face to her leg where there were stains of blood. He knelt down on one leg in front of her."No...stop....!""Let me help you." He didn't let Arien complete her sentence. Held her foot and opened her heels. He pick her up by her waist and started walking towards his black Mercedes parked at the road side.He helped her sit on the passenger seat and buckled up the seat belt. Then sat in the car and drove back.The Sea Bay beach was at a distance. After driving for about an
Arien opened her eyes and saw aunt Anne preparing her dress."Aunt Anne, why do you always prepare new clothes for me everyday? I can manage with only two or three pairs. It's not needed.""Miss, master asked me to take care of you. How can I not listen to him.""I asked you to call me by my name. Why do you always forget that." Arien pouted and acted like a spoiled child.In just three days of her living in the Lyle mansion she had made almost all the workers like her very much, especially aunt Anne. She treated her and respected her like her own mother. She didn't remember who her mother was but aunt Anne was so good to her that she bonded very well with her."Little girl, yo
Anyhow, Arien decided to listen aunt Anne and stayed at the house. However after staying in her room for almost two hours she got bored and decided to go and have a look in the interiors of the house. Since she was not well for the whole time she had stayed here, she didn't get the time to go around. Today she was so bored.She walked out of her room. Just beside her room there was Devian's study. She hesitated for a while and then entered. The first thing she saw was a photo on the wall."Why does he always put on such a cold face. Can't he smile a little." Arien thought while looking at Devian's photo on the wall."No doubt he's handsome, but who will think that such a handsome guy will have such a cold attitude!...sigh!"...
Her sudden action made Arien stunned. When she came back to her senses, the person in front was already in the verge of crying. Seeing that she was so emotional, Arien's intuition told her that she wasn't a bad person. She decided to believe her and tell her the truth that she had no memories of her past. Maybe she would help her get some clues about herself.They went to nearby restaurant. The weather was good for a hotpot. They sat opposite to each other."Is it so. That means you don't remember anything? Not even your parents. Have you lost all your memory?" The girl spoke first."As I told you, I only have the memory of staying in Lyle mansion and nothing else." Arien replied."OK I'll help you. Firstly I'm Ashley Collen.We
