I was at my house resting. The doctor told me to take it easy for the week so that my headaches won't attack anymore.
Troy has been always beside me this past few days. He was seating in the sofa at the foot of my bed working on his laptop. He was wearing a mossy green shirt and light brown shorts. His light brown hair was not styled, yet he looks so gorgeous. His emerald green eyes were focused on his laptop.
"Am I not disturbing you in your work?" I ask curiously. He has been working from home ever since I cam back from the hospital.
Troy looked at me and smiled. His emerald eyes twinkled. "Of course not. You are always my top priority." he said. He put his laptop down and walked towards me. He sat besides me in bed. I look at him and my heart started to flutter with the words he said.
"Thanks for taking care of me but I don't want you lose some important clients because of me." I said.
Troy looked at me with a smile. He gently caressed my cheek. "Don't worry Queenie. I have taken care of important matters already. I have left instructions to my assistant Rich on what to do and I am also working here from home so everything is fine. I am more at ease that I'm here with you." he said.
My heart squeezed. I always feel comfortable when Troy is around. I feel at ease when he's beside me. I smile at him sweetly.
Then there was a knock on the door. "Queenie?" Andrea's voice was heard at the other side of the door.
"Come in." I say.
Andrea opened the door and entered. "There's someone here to see you." she said.
Troy sighed. "Is he here again?" he said. He was referring to Shawn. Shawn was visiting me everyday after I was discharged from the hospital. My father had warned him not to get close to me but when I got home and my father isn't here he was free to be with me.
Troy's faced looked sour. I giggled looking at him. "Are you jealous?" I teased him. "But at least the two of you aren't fighting."
"Well I promised you not to stir trouble when he's here. And we talked that we would have a cease fire when around you." Troy said. "As for jealous, I am a bit. I really don't want him holding you close." He looks at me affectionately. It's like I'm gonna melt in his gaze.
"I'm sorry." I said and bowed my head. I feel guilty that he feels this way.
Troy held my chin and lifted up my face. His emerald eyes were looking at my sky blue eyes with love and affection.
"I have told you many times Queenie. I'm just here waiting for you. I understand what this means to you. I will help you in any way I can and never leave you." Troy said with a deep voice full of conviction. His emerald eyes started to put a spell on me.
"Ahem." Andrea cleared her throat. We forgot that Andrea was also in the room.
"Well fortunately for you Troy, it's not Shawn who's here to see Queenie." Andrea said. "It's the wife and stepdaugther of Mayor Williams."
"Victoria and Julia?" I asked. This is not really a surprise for me. I knew that sooner or later they will be coming to meet me. I smiled.
"Tell them I'll be down in a moment." I said.
Andrea nodded.

Victoria and Julia were at the living room looking around.
"She has great sense in furnirture." Julia said.
"It looks like all the things here are expensive." Victoria said.
"Hmph, she was lucky a rich guy was the one that found her." Julia said sarcastically.
A little while I arrived. I was wearing casual clothes today. A light pink sleeveless mini dress and black leggings. I have fixed my hair in a ponytail. I was wearing a house look but still looks presentable and beautiful.
"Madam Victoria, Julia. It's nice of you to visit." I said with a smile.
Victoria walked towards me and hugged me. "Oh Jill. Oh dear I am so happy you're alive." she said.
Her daughter Julia followed her lead and also cried. "Jill thank God. I'm so happy to know that you survived. "
The mother-daughter pair are obviously acting. 'Well the stage is set. Let's play along.' I thought to myself.
"Thank you madam Williams. I'm truly sorry that I can't remember you." I said. "Oh please seat."
The three of us sat on the couch. Victoria was holding my hand.
"My dear I heard you have amnesia and can't remember anything." Victoria said. "If you have any questions about the past I am happy to help you."
"Thank you madam." I said smiling.
"Oh my dear you can call me mother. That was what you call me back then. Even though I'm just your stepmother I have loved you like I have loved my own Julia." Victoria said.
'So, the lying game begins." I laughed inwardly. I have never called her mother in the past. Even though we got along back then when she was acting as a good stepmother I have never called her mother. Because for me my real mother is the only one I would call that.
"It's just a bit too early." I said with a sad face. "I'm still processing things from my past and it's not yet sinking in to me. If you like I can call you by your name?" I asked.
"Its okay Victoria is fine." Victoria said. But I can see she was hiding her displeasure.
"You can also come for me for questions." Julia chimed in. "You know we were besties since we have known each other."
"Oh is that so? Besties?" I said hiding the sarcastic tone.
"Yes. I would love to hang out with you like in the past." Julia said with a smile.
This two devil's are at it again. But now I am ready for them. I smiled.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
