It was nine in the morning that he had woke up. He doesn't have a schedule but his assistant told him that he had an appointment. He dressed in his suit and tie though it's hot on the city. He is going to meet his sister's idol, his father and mother's friend and his – he doesn't know what she is to him. She just seem so special to them. There is a car that drove them all the way to the biggest building in the city named, G.V.James. On the floor where the office of the President is, the secretary outside the office of the President stood to acknowledge them. She smiles wonderfully.
"Prince Edmond and Mr. Nielsen?" she asked. Edmond simply nods. Outside they heard the playing of piano. The piece is so familiar and very crazy playing. "She's been playing since six in the morning, unstoppable. I got worried." The secretary told.
"But she's fine, right?" Mr. Nielsen asked that Edmond found so not him. Edmond gazed at Mr. Nielsen who just looked at him, straight face.
"She's fine."
The secretary told as she leads them to the office. She was playing and singing the Only Hope. He stopped when he heard that angelic voice. Mr. Nielsen stood at his back with his hands at the back. They stood there until she had felt their presence. He was gaping looking at the young lady wearing baby blue plump dress. Her skin is firm and radiant. Her brown hair glows with her skin. Those small curls give emphasize that it was the natural curl of her hair.
To the only yours, I pray... to the only yours I know now you're my only hope.... oh...hmmm... ohh...
"That was beautiful." He said that makes her shivers.
Her heart jumped into her throat when she heard that sexy voice. She sighed closing the piano case and stood facing them. She stopped as when she saw him and he was too stunned on her beauty. They stare at each other eye to eye and from a long time in three years they felt full. They felt like their hearts fill with unseen love. She wanted to hug him and kiss him. But she had to gather herself and focus. He doesn't remember her yet and there's no way he will.
"Prince Edmond." She greets walking to them and offering her hand for a hand shake. He took it.
"Call me Edmond." He told kissing the back of her hand bowing. He didn't release her hand. He felt so alive and enthusiastic. The feeling like his heart finally had fill and not empty. He was longing to felt that way and now he met her it makes his mark itchy.
"Gia," she said. She slipped her hand from him and looked at Mr. Nielsen.
"Erik," she greets him with smiles.
"Milady." Erik Nielsen nods at her. Edmond locked his eyes on her beauty. He had felt her soft hand and wanted to touch and hold it again.
"Gentlemen please have a seat." she told as she led them to the mini living room where she had a leather black sofas and a glass coffee table in the middle.
"I will just wait outside." Erik said. Edmond nods at him and he followed her to the sofas. He sat on the single one while Gia is sitting on the long sofa crossing her legs.
First thing is Edmond doesn't know what to say or to tell her. Second thing is, he was too tensed and astonished on her beauty like a magnet is pulling him to her. She doesn't have enough make up on her face. Just a mascara and purple pink lipstick and natural blush of her cheeks. Edmond is staring at her while he secretly scratches his wrist where the mark is. She did the same, scratching her mark. She asked on what she can serve or give, something to drink. He just said that cold water will do. And the robot had served cold water to him. Then there's long silence again staring at each other.
"So, I did not expect that you'll be here." she breaks the silence. He tilts his head at the side smiling.
"My father sent me here to accompany you and to show me your work." He told smiling. She chuckled amused on him. Then she stood walking towards her desk that is near on the sofas. He watched every single of her move. She was a grace and sexy.
"My work? Mr. King isn't serious about it." She told as she lean on her glass desk.
"He was serious, in fact, he was excited about it." He told.
Gia stare on the marble floor thinking deep of what is the King planning why he sent the Prince here though he doesn't remember anything. She looked at him who is staring at her not even bothering to unlock his eyes from her.
"He told me that you are the most beautiful lady that he saw and he wasn't wrong." He said smiling and inspired. Gia glanced at the bracelet that he is wearing and she nods looking down on her bracelet. It was their wedding bracelet instead of rings.
"How's Isabel?" she asked. Edmond smiles wide thinking about his sister.
"Well, she was so excited about me visiting you in your city island. She wanted to see you badly like my parents want." She didn't speak and things that happen in Denmark hunt her again. "My father wants you to be in his 54th birthday that's why he sent me here." Gia raised her gaze at him and she folds her arms over her chest.
"That is totally a manipulation." She said in very serious but Edmond laughs that make her stopped. She thought that he was very happy than before. He was more playful than before.
"Sorry," he said as he gathered his self-up. "My father can be like that, but it was funny that he even used me to manipulate you just to go to Denmark on his birthday. But I advise that give the old man a chance, he's growing old and very childlike." She smiled lopsidedly.
"I will try; he even messed on my appointments for that." She confessed.
"And it means that you got no choice but to go to Denmark?" he asked standing up. She nods. "Great!" he was so happy about it.
He wanted her around him so he won't feel lonely and empty. He walks towards her and she put her hands down to the desk. He stood in front of her pulling her left hand massaging her fingers. "You've been playing that piano for almost six hours, right? Your hands and fingers might be numb." He told. He made it an excuse just to touch her. She looked at his face in sad eyes while he is concentrating on what he is doing. "Your hands are so soft." He told glancing at her. He pulls her another hand doing the same.
Her eyes are shinning and any time her tears will fall down. She pulls her hand from him turning back and quickly wiped her eyes. He was puzzled about it and wanted to touch her again. She nibbled her lower lips controlling herself not to cry and sob.
"What's wrong?" he asked worried and confuse. She clicked and swiped something on the glass desk and at the same time computer desk and shows him a hologram. She wiped her tears secretly. Edmond looked at it. She cleared her throat.
"This is the whole city." She told. "So you wanted me to show you my work, this is it. But I can tour you around and show you everything."
"I would love that." He said smiling. "I wanted to know not just your work, but you." he said straight forward. "There's so much about you that everyone is talking about." He told her from her back. "I think that I am outdated or something." He giggles. She smiled on whatsoever he is talking about. She wanted to hear him talk and talk. He's quite an entertainer ever since.
"Okay, let's meet at one pm. I still have something to do, and the rest of my time will be yours." She told. He grins more that makes him enthusiastic.
"I love the sound." He told. She faced him and smiled. "Oh, by the way," he kissed her cheek that makes her flush. "That's from my sister." He lied. He just wanted to touch his lips on her soft cheek. She just cocks her head at the side. He smiles wide. "That's better."
"Yes, you should go now, before I tell Isabel on what you did." She joked. He stepped back a little taking her hand kissing her knuckles hard and long while his eyes never leave her unmatched eyes.
"See you soon, Princess Gia." He smiled and she just nods.
She watched him walk towards the door. When he was outside, she breathes deep like she's been holding it when he came in. She holds her hands feeling his kiss on her knuckles and his touch. She can smell his aromatic scent. She looked at her wrist where his name is marked.
Edmond was ears to ears smiling like he never did before. Mr. Nielsen thought right about it. Edmond will be never better when he saw her and had talked to her. It seems the unseen great love between them is still powerful. The attraction is strong and magnetic. Two gentlemen in casual clothes are punching and teasing at each other going to Gia's office. They stopped when they saw Edmond.
"Edmond! Bro!" Ryle said jumping and giving him a hug. Ken did the same. Edmond was baffled and he doesn't even know these guys. He just smiles at them. Then the two stopped and stepped back folding their arms with knotted brows.
"We almost forgot that he forget us." Ken told twisting his lips.
"It's okay." Edmond said still smiling at them. They looked at him suspiciously and they both tilt their head on the office door of Gia at the same time and go back to him at the same time.
"Ah," they both bounced their head. "That's why," Ryle said.
"The Bond." Ken told. Edmond was more baffled on what they are talking about. But the gentlemen smiles at him giving him tapped. "Hey, join us on lunch later on the biggest restaurant here." he said.
"Sure." Edmond nods. They say their goodbyes and race on the door kicking and pushing each other. "Those are weird."
"They are Princess Gia's cousins. They are artists and funny," Erik added. Edmond pouted putting his hands on his pocket as they walk to the elevator.
Gia watch him down the building where he had come out and walk to check at the different buildings. Gia wiped her tears and ignore her cousins. She's going to race and ignore their buzzes.
"C'mon Gia, don't be like that. He seemed happy seeing you." Ryle comforted.
She enters the capsule like private elevator and punched some buttons. She started changing her clothes inside the invisible elevator into brown leather suit and boots. She call for a race and told them to get ready in ten minutes. She went out her building with a big guy with her holding a black umbrella for her. She walked like it was a runway on the walking lane. They had to put it on the stop light for her to walk to the other side of the street.
Edmond was inside the service car and saw her walking with a big guy with her. She was a beauty in distress and dress to kill. He was watching her movies that time enjoying it but then he caught her walking in front of their service car.
"Tell me that she's a Goddess." Edmond told Erik Nielsen.
"She's a Goddess." He obeys. Edmond sighed watching her moves.
"There is really something on her. Who really is she?" he asked.
Erik kept his mouth shut before it gives Edmond head ache. There are two gentlemen in opposite color outfit and they hugged them tight kissing her on cheek. He suddenly felt jealous about it. Maybe her brother's but it seemed they are not.
On the luxury restaurant they went. He saw Ryle and Ken but didn't remember their names. Then the twin joins them in the big table. He thought that they are cute wearing the same design of clothes but in opposite color. Black and white. It was the gentlemen that he saw earlier. They waved at him. He smiled and went to them. The twin gapes at him. Stephen didn't smiled back but Miles did offering for a hand shake. He even elbowed Stephen to give respect.
"I'm Miles and this is Stephen my replica." Miles joked.
"Your joke is not selling." Stephen told that make them all laughs. They all get settled while still waiting at Gia.
"Where is she, by the way?" Edmond asked.
"She's on the race a while ago." Miles told checking his phone. "She seems a bit not herself again." He added. Edmond knotted his forehead and thinks.
"Why?" he asked. They all shrugged not telling him. Stephen stood as he saw Gia in the entrance. Edmond stood too and was about to offer a seat to her but Stephen kissed her cheek sweetly like he was her boyfriend. Gia stepped on his shoes secretly to stop his foolishness.
One year ago, she was miserable taking her time on her work to save lots of money for her city. He was there for her and tells her that she was not alone and he's with her. He was in love with her and wanted to tell it to her every time. But she punched him once in the first time he had told it to her. She started screaming at him to stop the stupidity. She told him that she loved Edmond and she will not going to love anyone but him. She told him the consequences once she is bounded to her soul mate. He had nothing to do with it but to love her and move on.
"Hey, you look damn messy," Stephen said in his sexy voice. "And hot." He whispered a bit loud for them to hear it. Gia simply twisted his arm at his back and pushed him. She sat on the vacant chair in the head of the table. Edmond studies her outfit. She really got into a race. Her full round breast is molding on her suit and showing a bit of her cleavage. Edmond looked away.
"Next time you do that again I swear to the Chairman to punish you and detained you." Gia murmurs to Stephen who is sitting at her left side while Edmond is at her right side.
"So you are in a race?" Edmond asked her. She looked at him wearing a polo shirt and two buttons are open. He was simple attractive and cool. That's what she likes in his style.
"Yes, I just chilled myself." She said. She snapped her fingers and the waiter had come to take their orders.
"Who won the race?" he asked smiling with interest.
"Of course, I win." she said. Edmond's smile widens. Stephen is staring at Edmond attentively. Miles had to pinch his side to stop on what he is doing.
"So, Prince Edmond, how's Denmark?" Stephen asked. Edmond gazed at him.
"Denmark is great." He said plainly.
"And what about your therapy?"
"It's done but the doctors are still checking on me." He answered. Gia kicked Stephen under the table.
"Do you know that the one who invented the machine to cure you is Gia's brother?" he questioned. Edmond stopped and looked at Gia who is frowning down on the table napkin that is fold over the plate.
"Who Alexandro?" he questioned. Stephen smiles and nods. "I don't know that but he's been talking about her sister." And he looked at Gia. "Which name is Gia Vitoria?" he said looking at his wrist under the table. Everything is making sense to him but too vaguely. She was something more important to him. He just smiled. "That was a very beautiful name of yours." He said. Stephen looked at Gia who just nods.
"Okay!" Ryle clapped his hand to loosen up the tension. "Let's have a game." He grins.
"No!" Gia hands up.
"Yes!" the twin chorus.
"NO way! Stop it Ryle!" Gia demands as if the game is dangerous.

Then she stood walking towards her desk that is near on the sofas. He watched every single of her move. She was a grace and sexy."My work? Mr. King isn't serious about it." She told as she lean on her glass desk."He was serious, in fact, he was excited about it." He told.Gia stare on the marble floor thinking deep of what is the King planning why he sent the Prince here though he doesn't remember anything. She looked at him who is staring at her not even bothering to unlock his eyes from her."He told me that you are the most beautiful lady that he saw and he wasn't wrong." He said smiling and inspired. Gia glanced at the bracelet that he is wearing and she nods looking down on her bracelet. It was their wedding bracelet instead of rings."How's Isabel?" she asked. Edmond smiles wide thinking about his sister."Well, she was so excited about me visiting you in your city island. She wanted to see you badly like my parents want." She didn't speak and things that happen in Denmark hunt her again. "My father wants you to be in his 54th birthday that's why he sent me here." Gia raised her gaze at him and she folds her arms over her chest."That is totally a manipulation." She said in very serious but Edmond laughs that make her stopped. She thought that he was very happy than before. He was more playful than before."Sorry," he said as he gathered his self-up. "My father can be like that, but it was funny that he even used me to manipulate you just to go to Denmark on his birthday. But I advise that give the old man a chance, he's growing old and very childlike." She smiled lopsidedly."I will try; he even messed on my appointments for that." She confessed."And it means that you got no choice but to go to Denmark?" he asked standing up. She nods. "Great!" he was so happy about it.He wanted her around him so he won't feel lonely and empty. He walks towards her and she put her hands down to the desk. He stood in front of her pulling her left hand massaging her fingers. "You've been playing that piano for almost six hours, right? Your hands and fingers might be numb." He told. He made it an excuse just to touch her. She looked at his face in sad eyes while he is concentrating on what he is doing. "Your hands are so soft." He told glancing at her. He pulls her another hand doing the same.Her eyes are shinning and any time her tears will fall down. She pulls her hand from him turning back and quickly wiped her eyes. He was puzzled about it and wanted to touch her again. She nibbled her lower lips controlling herself not to cry and sob."What's wrong?" he asked worried and confuse. She clicked and swiped something on the glass desk and at the same time computer desk and shows him a hologram. She wiped her tears secretly. Edmond looked at it. She cleared her throat."This is the whole city." She told. "So you wanted me to show you my work, this is it. But I can tour you around and show you everything.""I would love that." He said smiling. "I wanted to know not just your work, but you." he said straight forward. "There's so much about you that everyone is talking about." He told her from her back. "I think that I am outdated or something." He giggles. She smiled on whatsoever he is talking about. She wanted to hear him talk and talk. He's quite an entertainer ever since."Okay, let's meet at one pm. I still have something to do, and the rest of my time will be yours." She told. He grins more that makes him enthusiastic."I love the sound." He told. She faced him and smiled. "Oh, by the way," he kissed her cheek that makes her flush. "That's from my sister." He lied. He just wanted to touch his lips on her soft cheek. She just cocks her head at the side. He smiles wide. "That's better.""Yes, you should go now, before I tell Isabel on what you did." She joked. He stepped back a little taking her hand kissing her knuckles hard and long while his eyes never leave her unmatched eyes."See you soon, Princess Gia." He smiled and she just nods.She watched him walk towards the door. When he was outside, she breathes deep like she's been holding it when he came in. She holds her hands feeling his kiss on her knuckles and his touch. She can smell his aromatic scent. She looked at her wrist where his name is marked.Edmond was ears to ears smiling like he never did before. Mr. Nielsen thought right about it. Edmond will be never better when he saw her and had talked to her. It seems the unseen great love between them is still powerful. The attraction is strong and magnetic. Two gentlemen in casual clothes are punching and teasing at each other going to Gia's office. They stopped when they saw Edmond."Edmond! Bro!" Ryle said jumping and giving him a hug. Ken did the same. Edmond was baffled and he doesn't even know these guys. He just smiles at them. Then the two stopped and stepped back folding their arms with knotted brows."We almost forgot that he forget us." Ken told twisting his lips."It's okay." Edmond said still smiling at them. They looked at him suspiciously and they both tilt their head on the office door of Gia at the same time and go back to him at the same time."Ah," they both bounced their head. "That's why," Ryle said."The Bond." Ken told. Edmond was more baffled on what they are talking about. But the gentlemen smiles at him giving him tapped. "Hey, join us on lunch later on the biggest restaurant here." he said."Sure." Edmond nods. They say their goodbyes and race on the door kicking and pushing each other. "Those are weird.""They are Princess Gia's cousins. They are artists and funny," Erik added. Edmond pouted putting his hands on his pocket as they walk to the elevator.Gia watch him down the building where he had come out and walk to check at the different buildings. Gia wiped her tears and ignore her cousins. She's going to race and ignore their buzzes."C'mon Gia, don't be like that. He seemed happy seeing you." Ryle comforted.She enters the capsule like private elevator and punched some buttons. She started changing her clothes inside the invisible elevator into brown leather suit and boots. She call for a race and told them to get ready in ten minutes. She went out her building with a big guy with her holding a black umbrella for her. She walked like it was a runway on the walking lane. They had to put it on the stop light for her to walk to the other side of the street.Edmond was inside the service car and saw her walking with a big guy with her. She was a beauty in distress and dress to kill. He was watching her movies that time enjoying it but then he caught her walking in front of their service car."Tell me that she's a Goddess." Edmond told Erik Nielsen."She's a Goddess." He obeys. Edmond sighed watching her moves."There is really something on her. Who really is she?" he asked.Erik kept his mouth shut before it gives Edmond head ache. There are two gentlemen in opposite color outfit and they hugged them tight kissing her on cheek. He suddenly felt jealous about it. Maybe her brother's but it seemed they are not.On the luxury restaurant they went. He saw Ryle and Ken but didn't remember their names. Then the twin joins them in the big table. He thought that they are cute wearing the same design of clothes but in opposite color. Black and white. It was the gentlemen that he saw earlier. They waved at him. He smiled and went to them. The twin gapes at him. Stephen didn't smiled back but Miles did offering for a hand shake. He even elbowed Stephen to give respect."I'm Miles and this is Stephen my replica." Miles joked."Your joke is not selling." Stephen told that make them all laughs. They all get settled while still waiting at Gia."Where is she, by the way?" Edmond asked."She's on the race a while ago." Miles told checking his phone. "She seems a bit not herself again." He added. Edmond knotted his forehead and thinks."Why?" he asked. They all shrugged not telling him. Stephen stood as he saw Gia in the entrance. Edmond stood too and was about to offer a seat to her but Stephen kissed her cheek sweetly like he was her boyfriend. Gia stepped on his shoes secretly to stop his foolishness.One year ago, she was miserable taking her time on her work to save lots of money for her city. He was there for her and tells her that she was not alone and he's with her. He was in love with her and wanted to tell it to her every time. But she punched him once in the first time he had told it to her. She started screaming at him to stop the stupidity. She told him that she loved Edmond and she will not going to love anyone but him. She told him the consequences once she is bounded to her soul mate. He had nothing to do with it but to love her and move on."Hey, you look damn messy," Stephen said in his sexy voice. "And hot." He whispered a bit loud for them to hear it. Gia simply twisted his arm at his back and pushed him. She sat on the vacant chair in the head of the table. Edmond studies her outfit. She really got into a race. Her full round breast is molding on her suit and showing a bit of her cleavage. Edmond looked away."Next time you do that again I swear to the Chairman to punish you and detained you." Gia murmurs to Stephen who is sitting at her left side while Edmond is at her right side."So you are in a race?" Edmond asked her. She looked at him wearing a polo shirt and two buttons are open. He was simple attractive and cool. That's what she likes in his style."Yes, I just chilled myself." She said. She snapped her fingers and the waiter had come to take their orders."Who won the race?" he asked smiling with interest."Of course, I win." she said. Edmond's smile widens. Stephen is staring at Edmond attentively. Miles had to pinch his side to stop on what he is doing."So, Prince Edmond, how's Denmark?" Stephen asked. Edmond gazed at him."Denmark is great." He said plainly."And what about your therapy?""It's done but the doctors are still checking on me." He answered. Gia kicked Stephen under the table."Do you know that the one who invented the machine to cure you is Gia's brother?" he questioned. Edmond stopped and looked at Gia who is frowning down on the table napkin that is fold over the plate."Who Alexandro?" he questioned. Stephen smiles and nods. "I don't know that but he's been talking about her sister." And he looked at Gia. "Which name is Gia Vitoria?" he said looking at his wrist under the table. Everything is making sense to him but too vaguely. She was something more important to him. He just smiled. "That was a very beautiful name of yours." He said. Stephen looked at Gia who just nods."Okay!" Ryle clapped his hand to loosen up the tension. "Let's have a game." He grins."No!" Gia hands up."Yes!" the twin chorus."NO way! Stop it Ryle!" Gia demands as if the game is dangerous.
