Chapter 160
Zendaya’s POV
A few days later, I was treated and found perfectly okay to go home. This was not a surprise seeing as the major problem had been the gunshot and my amnesia as the doctor called it
The funny thing was that I didn’t feel like I had amnesia. I felt normal and okay. Maybe that was how it worked.
Asher came to personally take me home and he brought a limousine with everyone taking pictures while I walked through the hospital halls.
We entered the car and the driver drove us home.
“Now you might find the place a bit familiar since you’ve been staying there for a while,” he said and I was excited to know that there was something I could at least remember, however when we got there, I found that I could not remember the house at all.
I tried really hard to remember the house before me but it was impossible. I felt like I had never set foot in this place before.
“So… what do you think?” he asked at the compound grounds but I shrugged.
“I… don’t remember being here,” I sighed. “I don’t remember seeing any place like this. This is all so strange to me.”
I found his excited face fall to the ground with pain and disappointment.
“I’m sorry,” I sighed as his face lit up again like he was not giving up on me.
“No, no, no,” he chuckled nervously. “It’s fine. No need to apologize. Let’s get inside and see the inside. Maybe something might click.”
He was trying really hard because the victor had said only one thing could spark up my memory but it had to be the right thing. It had to be something which would lead to a chain of events in my head and make me remember everything.
I entered the mansion as a young woman came to hug me before smiling at me.
“Welcome back zen,” she said as I titled my head.
“How do I know you?” I asked with narrowed eyes.
“I am your sister,” she laughed. “Aurora.”
I didn’t even know I had a sister. So many things were happening and I didn’t even know how to react. My entire family was supposed to be very important to me but somehow I could not even remember any of them.
I tried so hard to remember her but kept hitting a blank wall. It was hard to remember someone I had never met before.
I looked behind the woman to see three children staring at me in shock.
They were not happy seeing me there. Of course Aurora tried bringing them to me but I took a step back which had them tearing up.
“Mum,” they said with their little voice but I could not remember anything. They were not my children. I could not remember them.
They cried and ran into their fathers arms as I looked around the house, walking into the house to see the artwork and admire them. This was the first time I had seen such beauty.
Aurora led the children to a hallway before I heard a door shut.
“So you seriously cannot even remember your own children?” he asked me as I shrugged.
“I don’t know them,” was my answer. “I can tell that just like me you’re hurt but I don’t know who they are. I’m trying to remember who they are and what we’ve gone through together but it’s not working.”
He sighed and led me up a stair to a room which he opened.
I entered to look around as he joined me in.
“This is our room, it’s the room you and I do sleep in.”
“Do I have a personal room?” I asked as he looked at me with wide eyes.
“We can sleep here,” he chuckled but I didn’t know him and I didn’t feel like sleeping with a random man I just met.
“I would love to sleep on my own.”
He nodded. “Of course.”
He led me to another room down the hall which was smaller than the last one and the dusty smoke told me I had been absent from here for a very long time.
I walked in to see my pictures hanging on the wall. This looked like a type of room I would stay in.
Although I hated the punchy colors it had, I could not do anything but manage it until I had the chance to change it.
“Would you like to have dinner downstairs with me and the kids?” he asked as I turned to look at him.
“I’d like to stay on my own for now. I just want to get myself for the night alone. Can I have dinner alone?” I asked as he nodded.
“Of course,” he smiled. “I’ll have the maids get you your food.”
“Thank you.”
He exited and I was once again alone in this room.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
A knock on the door a few minutes after he had gone had me looking to see Aurora entering with a smile on her face.
“You seriously don’t remember me?” she asked as I shrugged. “If I did, I would have let you know. I don’t know who you are.”
“You don’t have to get aggressive,” she raised her hands. “I’m only trying to make sure this is real. This has never happened before so it’s all surreal to me. You’ll need to forgive me for asking and hovering.”
I saw the bag on her shoulder.
“You don’t live here,” I asked.
“No. I live with my husband,” she chuckled. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
She left the room as I was once again left alone.
Dinner arrived with everything sumptuous which I ate hungrily and went to sleep.
It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I could hear the children talking to their father in the living room which had me wondering if this was going to be my new life from now on.
