{Remembering Her Memories}
“Walk me baby. ” Zoey pouted, releasing a cool smile.
“Of course baby. ” He smiled and took her hands. Zoey was shocked to see Jemma and Cali.
“Cali. ” She screamed and released her arms away from Calvin’s arms.
“Zoey! ” Jemma and Cali called, and she was caught in arms. They hug themselves tightly and disengaged from the hug with a bright smile on their lips.
“Where’s Jenna? Zoey asked, still smiling at the two.
“She disappeared after your departure. Including Jemma, there was no love among ourselves after you left. I tried to bring everyone together as one. Cali busted, explaining how everything went after she left. Zoey’s expression was priceless. The men (Calvin and Karen) were just staring at the three friends.
“How did you manage to bring Jemma since there wasn’t a corporation among the two of you. ” Zoey asked with a sad voice.
“Jenna was threatened to get you raped by Earl… Main reason she is on the run. ” Cali dropped and at that moment Zoey couldn’t feel her feet.
“I’m sorry for what my sister did. ” Jemma apologized sincerely as she looked at Zoey with teary eyes.
“Why didn’t she tell us about it before that devil succeeded in the plan? ” Zoey asked furiously as she took a seat.
“Her ex-boyfriend threatened her with her nudes— Zoey interrupted her.
“But she’s rich enough to take everything down, if it was actually uploaded on social media. Zoey voiced out as she kept sobbing continuously.
“Enough of making her cry.. Calvin interrupted and pulled Zoey from the seat to his board chest.
“I didn’t expect this from Jenna. ” She sobs on Calvin’s chest.
“Sorry babe, remember she was threatened… ” Calvin whispered but she shook her head negatively.
“She should have considered me Calvin…. Jenna Aaa… ” She sobs and stops crying all of the sudden.
“Are you okay? ” Calvin asked calmly.
“Yeah. ” She smiled and wiped her tears. Zoey turned around to look at Karen.
“Welcome Secret Admirer. ” She uttered and shook hands with him.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Miss Zoey.
“Karen uttered with a calm face. Calvin shook his head at how Karen was acting. Zoey’s phone vibrated from Calvin’s pocket. He brought out her phone and the message was visible on her phone screen.
*Hello Zoey, it’s time for you to get married, the marriage contract you signed years ago is ready for use. We are sorry for not informing you before you signed the contract without your knowledge. …. I think you and Landon will make a perfect couple…. Best regards and congratulations to you*
From The
Wester Family.
“What’s this rubbish? Calvin shouted with a furious expression on his face. Everyone turned to look at him at once.
“What’s wrong Calvin? ” Cali was the first to ask. Zoey looked worried.
“Did you sign a contract with anybody without reading, Zoey? ” Calvin asked calmly and he showed her the message.
“What the hell is this? The Mayor was the one that helped me with my scholarship into H. U. ” Zoey explained.
“This is my wife’s family name. ” Karen said behind them.
“Wait, do you mean it’s the same Landon. Calvin uttered with a shocking expression on his face.
“Do you also know about it. ” Zoey asked Calvin.
“No. I did some investigation about him. When you told me, he was the one that saved you. But I wasn’t expecting him to be related to Karen. ” Calvin uttered with frustration.
“If I should get my dad to ruin them, it will affect Karen and I don’t want to do anything that will affect any of us. ” Cali mumbled….
“It’s not Landon’s fault but the selfish parents he has the problem with. Why will they want to force us into something we don’t want. ” Zoey uttered as she took a seat. But her hand mistakenly hit the candle to the ground.
They got engaged into a deep conversation while the candle lit a cloth on fire.
“I will settle everything Calvin…
“Fire!!! ” Cali screamed and everyone stormed away from it to get the fire extinguisher. Zoey stared at the fire and the blurry images came rushing. Calvin pulled her away from it but she got lost in staring at the fire.
She shut her eyes with her hand on her head. Cali and Jemma rushed to her before she lost her balance. Karen and Calvin successfully wet down the fire.
The memories came rushing in Zoey’s head… How everything got burned, how her parents got burnt because of lack of care and observation.
“Nova! Nova!! ” Zoey called her younger sister’s name as the memories came rushing… Calvin carried her in his arms to their room after she passed out… The dinner was totally ruined.
*****
They waited for her to open her eyes for the past ten minutes. Their private doctor just left after checking up on her.
“Who is Nova Karen? ” Calvin asked calmly.
“Zoey’s younger sister, also my younger sister. ”
“Where is she? Is she alive? Why didn’t you tell me about this? ” Calvin uttered and with a deep sigh.
“Nova has been in a coma for the past twenty years… She has not woken up since the fire accident. Ivy and I knew about it, since she’s the nurse that treated her. Karen explained, releasing a deep breath. Cali and Jemma stood beside Zoey, hoping she would open her eyes anytime soon.
“Will she be fine? Cali asked, staring at her brother.
“She will. I just hope so. ” Calvin uttered and sat on the bed. Karen leaned against the wall with his mind not settled. Zoey opened her slowly and slowly for like five times before she could open it at once.
“Karen. ” And burst into tears. Karen rushed to her side and she hugged him so tight with tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Why didn’t you come and meet me? It was hard without you…. ” She mumbled in between her tears.
“I’m sorry Zoey, I’m so sorry. I should have met you earlier than this. But I thought you might be angry for leaving you all alone. ” He mumbled and she kept shaking her head.
“You should have…. Gosh! I can’t believe I have a brother Cali. ” She mumbled and wiped her tears.
“Where’s Nova? ” She asked, looking around to confirm her curiosity.
” She’s been in a coma since the fire accident, Zoey.” Karen mumbled and she gasped loudly.
“Can I see her? ” She asked impatiently.
“Yes. But she’s not here, we will have to travel back… Are you sure you want to leave your vacation moment. ” Karen explained and she looked at Calvin.
“I’m fine with whatever decision you make. ” He shrugged and she turned her gaze to Karen’s face.
“I want to travel back. ” She mumbled and he nodded.
“A perfect reunion. ” Cali giggled and winked at Zoey who only blushed in return.
“Wait for me Nova. ” Zoey thought, looking at everyone with a cool smile.
