Pete had to meet Mason, he had to see him with his own eyes to believe that he was alive. He had to make up for all the years that they had lost.Pete couldn't believe his eyes as he entered the cafe and saw Mason, alive and well, gazing out of the window. It felt like witnessing a miracle, a reunion he had never dared to dream of. The years of separation, the grief, all seemed suspended in that moment.Mason's eyes met Pete's, and a surge of recognition and emotion washed over them both. Without a word, Mason stood up, memories flooding back. Pete, his heart pounding, rushed toward Mason, and they embraced tightly. As they sat down, the weight of unspoken words hung in the air. There was so much to say, so many questions, yet neither of them uttered a single word for a long while. The reunion was more than just physical; it was a reconciliation of emotions, a silent dialogue that spoke volumes. Each passing moment carried the weight of unspoken apologies, gratitude for the unexpect
In the face of Adam's persistent lack of recognition, Mariah refused to lose hope. She made a solemn decision to stand by Adam's side indefinitely, willing to endure however many years it took for him to remember. The thought of living without Adam's presence was a heavy ache in her heart, fueled by years of tears shed in the belief that her true love had been taken away. Yet, for their daughter Ella, for Adam, and for herself, Mariah was determined to stay the course.As the months passed, Mariah and Adam's bond deepened. In one conversation, Adam inquired about Ella, unaware of the pivotal role he played in her life. Mariah, cautious about revealing the complete truth, shared, "There was an incident that changed our lives, and Ella lost her father." The words hung in the air, not the whole truth but a narrative carefully crafted to navigate the delicate terrain of Adam's lost memories.Curiosity sparked in Adam's eyes, and he asked, "How was he?" Mariah's tears welled up as she gaze
Adam sat up, and Mariah helped him, sitting beside him on the bed. As they found themselves alone, Adam's demeanor hinted at emotions he was struggling to contain. Mariah, sensing the turmoil within him, waited in confusion until Adam decided to share his thoughts."At first, I thought I was dreaming. I thought I was going to die, and then I heard your voice after a while, and something triggered inside my head. And then I knew it wasn't the first time you were saving my life. It had happened before, and..." Adam paused, capturing Mariah's full attention. Their eyes met, and she noticed tears streaming down his cheek. "And all the memories came crashing down. The first time you saved my life, when I had you kidnapped, and all our time spent together at the mansion. I always felt a strange feeling that hung between us, but I wasn't quite able to grasp what it was, and now, finally, I've realized what it was..."Adam's voice faltered, and both of them were now shedding tears, the weight
Chapter : 1 The EncounterMariah had been on duty for the past 32 hours. She had little to no sleep and God knows when was the last time she ate because even she does not remember eating anything except a chocolate protein bar during her round break. Being a doctor is already exhausting but being a resident is worst of all. The only thing that’s been keeping her alive is her colleague and best friend Blaire and maybe some coffee too that she has been devouring for the past 3 hours. It’s not like she doesn’t love her job. She loves it. It’s what she has been wanting to do her whole life. She always thought of herself as a side character. Not having a fair skin or a perfect body, just a brunette with pitch black eyes and a bunny smile. Sometimes she would have to wear glasses to look a little mature as her baby face was of no help. She may not be the main character we see in movies but she’s kind. Yes, she’s kind and humble. She always envied those girls in the movies that had everyo
Adam’s back in his mansion and he’s furious. Someone tried to kill him. Adam has a lot of enemies and it was not a big deal that someone tried to kill him. But this time, he almost died if it wasn’t for the doctor who saved him, he would have been long gone. Adam was driving to one of the hotels he owned for a meeting but someone shot the tire of his car and he lost control of the it. He was injured but the real trouble was caused when a few men came running towards the car so Adam got out immediately. He instantly knew that all of this was planned by someone. He started running as the men chased him. His head got injured in the car wreck but he kept running but when he looked back to see of they’re still chasing him, he heard a gunshot and realized that one of them shot and the bullet went straight into his abdomen. It was not his first time getting shot. He is a mafia boss and was used to getting shot but he didn’t have hid men nor did he have Mason who would have protected him. H
Adam didn’t give a shit if Keith killed someone and he would have shot him right there but he couldn’t kill him as he wanted him alive. He wanted to know where Ariak was as he was up to no good. This time he wanted to end everything once and for all. Ariak ruined his life. He never go to say goodbye to his mother. His mother was killed in cold blood. And Ariak didn’t stop there, as now he’s after Adam, so he can get control of the mafia world. “Okay just come down and we’ll discuss everything,” Mason spoke. “ No. I won’t. Just move aside. Clear the path or she’ll die because of you,” Ketih says breathing heavily. He has no men by his side right now as he dismissed all of them because he was having a party and he didn’t wanted people to know his truth. The guards were all outside and ran for their life as soon as they heard the gunshot. Adam and his men cleared the stairway and let him come down. He still had a gun held against Mariah’s head. She came down along with him as she tho
The night falls but Mariah is still in Adam’s mansion. She feels so small in this huge room. She’s curled up on the floor with her head buried in her hands. She has been crying for a while now. She keeps thinking about the things she went through. After being held captive like this, she can’t help and is reminded of all the people who used to bully her due to her weight. They fat-shamed her. Even her parents were embarrassed by her. She tried so hard to lose weight and she eventually did but the scars were always there. She never forgot how people treated her, how her own classmates used to throw her bag and called her names. She suffered so much just because of her appearance. This is the reason Mariah never judged anyone by their looks. She always treated people the same because she went through so much pain herself. After loosing weight, Mariah finally thought that she would be able to lead a normal life form now on but life had different plans for her. She suffered greater traum
Mariah is shocked to hear what Adam just said. She can’t process anything. Why are they letting her go when she witnessed Adam shooting Keith on his leg? Why are they letting her go when they know that she can contact police after she’s out of here? All these questions flood Mariah’s head. Adam is standing right in front of Mariah and Mariah can feel her legs getting weak but she can’t show any weakness now. Not at this moment but she hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday. She hasn’t even had breakfast that the maid came in with into her room. She decided not to eat as she still thought that they might have poisoned the food. She doesn’t have any energy and her head hurts. Mariah looses control over her body and faints. Adam is quick to catch her in his arms but he’s shook at this sudden incident. Adam places Mariah on the couch present in the room and indicates Mason to bring water. He does as asked and brings a glass of water. Adam sprinkles water on her face and he’s relieved whe
