Aria sat in her car, her hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles almost turned white.

Tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision as she drove to the hospital. She silently prayed and whispered it wasn't true and she tried her best to keep her eyes on the road as she drove.

She couldn't believe what just happened. She couldn't believe that there's a high chance now that Chris won't survive and he'll be gone. Gone for good. The love of her life, her soulmate, had been taken from her in an instant. She could never have imagined this happening at all. She never imagined it would come to this.

Her phone had rung just a few ago, and when she saw the caller ID, she already knew it was either good news or bad news. It was one of Chris's friends, Mark, who called her to inform her.

The trembling in his couch was unmistakable and Aria knew something was terribly wrong. She had barely been able to make out his words through his sobs but the message was clear.

He grunted as he struggled to break out of the car but he couldn’t, the seat belt was stucked, pinning him down to the chair, he noticed a flow of blood surging toward him, he arched his brows as he looked around him but he wasn’t the one bleeding, he wondered whose blood was it and it dawned on him, he was in the very same car with Aria.

    Chris was shocked and gazed at Kade in annoyance, what sort of home was this? "What nonsense are you spitting right now?" Chris lashed out, he turned to the doctor in the room and glared at him. "What is doing on right now?" He demanded gazing at him. "Well there were some complications due to the impact caused by the accident and he seems to lose fragments of his memory." The doctor explained but Chris still wasn't satisfied, the last person he could think of helping was Kade because of the pain he had caused him. "Why not reach out to his family instead of putting the burden on me?" Cnris asked, it's not like they couldn't reach out to his parents since they were well-to-do, they would cater or him or take him to the asylum. "Well, no one seems to respond when we contact his relatives." The doctor explained but Chris didn't want to hear any of that, he already had his burden to carry and didn't want to carry any extra. "I'm not his family member so why would I take him along wi

    "What?" Chris stared with wide eyes. "How could this be?" He thought out loud, gazing at the nurse for answers. "The doctor would be here soon and would give an explanation to your every question, I'm only here to be sure she's in a stable condition." The nurse in the room informed him before walking out of the door leaving him in silence, Chris stared back at her and she had a frown on her lips. "Who are you?" She tilted her head staring at him curiously but still maintaining the frown on her lips, she seemed irritated to see him and hated his presence. "I'm your husband," Chris explained that she didn't seem to process them well. "What nonsense are you spitting?" She rolled her eyes gazing at him. "Aria please believe me, you had an accident and-" "Quit the whole ordeal, do I look like I care?" She grunted just then a doctor barged in with a few nurses to check up on Aria, Chris was forced to leave the room even though he had so many questions that needed answers, he paced aro

    Chris was taken aback and frowned his lips staring at Aria who had a confused gaze. "Please don't say that my love." Chris pleaded while holding onto her hand tightly. "Don't forget all the time we had loved each other." "I'm sorry to disappoint you but I can't recall anything from my past." Aria shrugged her shoulders, almost seeming irritated that he continued to pester her. "Even if you don't remember them I can create new ones with you." Chris smiled warmly at her hoping she would agree with him. Kade stands up and stays behind Chris with his lips frowned. "Sorry big bro." Hearing his voice alone was enough to irritate Chris who sprung up from where he sat, turning around to glare at him. "Don't you dare act as though you're innocent, when I know the kind of person you are!" He was furious and curled his fists ready to blow his face that looked innocent yet had a deceitful gaze in his eyes. "But I didn't do anything, big brother." Kade pouted his lips taking a step back in

    "Don't you like here?" Chris asked while smiling at his wife as she gazed at the house in awe."It's beautiful, I must say, but it doesn't suit you." She shrugged her shoulders while feeling the soft touch of the fur sofa."Doesn't suit me?" He tilted his brows at her in surprise. "You were the one who did the entire interior.""Shows how much taste I had…. Splendid." She flipped her hair teasing him and continued to walk around the living room, the walls were blank and the atmosphere was sullen which didn't sit right with her as she continued to explore."What else do you want to complain about?" Chris asked walking towards her and stopped when he saw what had attracted her attention. Her brows arched as she slowly reached between the shattered pieces of glass on the floor and picked up the picture that was almost ripped apart but before she could see who it was, he snatched it from her hand."There's no need for you to see that."She turned to look at him with a blank stare wonderin

    Chris held his fave in pain and stared at her in shock. "Why are you hurting him?" "Why do you have to hurt him for some soup?" She yelled at him again. "Why take unnecessary anger on him." "He did it intentionally just to gain attention, if not why would I hit him that way?" Chris frowned his lips and gazed at her in shock, he was more than disappointed that she chose Kade over him which made his heart bleed."You're only piswed off that he's here with us and tryin' to be a good person, I may not recollect my memories but I can tell he's good." Aria defended Kade while helping him up."Good?" Chris chuckled nervously recalling the time Aria got kidnapped. "You're kidding me, right? The reason you're in his state is because of him!""I don't care, Chris!" She snapped at him, yanking him but the collar, and frowned. " You ought to be better than this bit You decided to stoop so low to bully an innocent man.""Innocent?" Chris tilted his head and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Ka

Chris tried to pacify her bit she was still filled with anger, wondering if he was truly who he said he was. "It's all a misunderstanding that we can easily discuss without yelling at one another.""Don't try to act smart with me and tall me the whole truth." Aria demanded, folding her arms on her chest and tappng her feet on the ground waiting for him to say something."Have this first."

"You should see your face right now.""You psycho!""Well then, why didn't I invite a very special guest huh?" He whispered into Chris' ear.Chris couldn't help but wonder who it could be an

Chris stared at him waiting for some sort of explanation. "So you're telling me because of a little incident you caused this chaos?"The ringing of Alex's erupted the room and he turned around walking out of the room without any more words.

He heard a familiar voice echo in his ear, he gazed at the man standing in front of him dressed in an all-black attire that gave off chilly vibes.

Sorry, I forgot no one would be burying you." Chris chuckled amidst the intense pain he was feeling."You haven't changed have you?""You know it's bad manners not to introduce yourself."
