Amirah
A few days later me and Thiago actually got along and he took me out to have dinner with Celina and Kathy she was actually sweet and though wary of me thinking I was seeing her dad till Thiago explained.
Hunter wasn’t back yet and I was getting worried, Thiago said he hasn’t heard from him a few days after the Denmark scenario.
It was already late I was waiting outside for Hunter to drive in, I’ve been doing so for the past few days.
“Amirah? ” I looked back to see Thiago.
“Come in its late.” he muttered quietly he’s been silent not telling me what happened to Hunter.
“Is he coming back? ” I asked, he didn’t give a reply.
I got up mournfully heading to my room as instructed, a few hours later I hear voices echoing downstairs.
“She’s asleep.” I hear Thiago’s voice downstairs and sneak down to see peek, Kaleb and Hunter were back and down with Thiago.
“How is she? ” Hunter asked, I ran down the stairs they didn’t notice until I ran up to Hunter and hugged him.
Kaleb was snickering at me but I ignored.
“I was worried, I’m thrilled you’re back.” I muttered lowly, his hands trailed down my back slowly caressing my back.
“Hey where’s my Hug? ” Kaleb mouthed.
“Oh shut up let her have this moment.” Thiago glared at him, I didn’t let go of Hunter still.
Thaigo and Kaleb left afterwards while Hunter freshened up after getting back from his mission, I was busy holding my notebook.
I was going to tell Hunter about my discovery.
He came down the stairs wear sweatpants and a white turtleneck sweater.
His eyes set on mine.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in bed? ” he asked I heave deep breaths courageously getting up to face him.
“I found my sister.” it felt like time froze because none of us took a step after that.
“have you contacted her? ” he asked
“No she’s dead, she’s was my roommate back in New York so my roommate who died was actually my sister, she somehow erased my memories and made me believe she disappeared.” I sighed.
“How do you know all these? ”
“Vincent, he told me everything.”
“How did you get enough money to buy information from Vincent.” he asked.
“I didn’t, he asked me to find out how your father died, I did but I didn’t tell him ”
“You met my mother? ” he said coldly all I could do was nod.
“She told me about the Dominiquez code, why is that a thing and is that the reason you can’t give Delilah children.” I said as his expression changed abruptly.
“If I say yes will that satisfy your curiosity? ” he asked furiously.
“Your father almost put your mother in danger and nearly damaged her womb she was lucky to give birth to you without loosing the pregnancy, why is this code taken seriously? ” I asked.
“Don’t say shit about my father, you had no right to find my mother and know anything how were you able to find out anyways, why are you so stubborn? ” he asked.
“So it’s true why didn’t you just explain to Delilah that instead of purposely denying her privileges of having children.” I yelled.
“You won’t get it Amirah, only one heir stands it’s either the offspring or the father dies, I couldn’t possibly explain a stupid tradition to Delilah.” he half yelled and we were now raising our voices.
“And so you admit it is a stupid tradition.”
“Yes I think it’s stupid but I’m not stupid to risk Delilah’s life or any woman’s life for that matter if I can’t protect my child and Delilah it would be foolish of me to die and leave them the way my dad left me and my mom with Derek and putting us in this condition, you think I like running my father’s business, I started making decisions at the age of 10, I got my first gun when I was 11, I’ve ended everyone who comes as a threat, I grew up having the thrill to see people die, it was none of your business, why do you care? we are not even together.” he muttered harshly.
I felt something break into pieces, Hunter softened after noticing my expression.
“I’m sorry if I invaded your privacy, I shouldn’t have pokenose into your business, I won’t bother you or your life anymore.” I said coldly picking my notebook and running upstairs.
I shut the door behind me and locked it, by now I expected to be dried up but somehow I could still cry.
I went over my bed and picked up my phone and called Thiago.
“Amirah? Is there anything wrong? ” he asked.
“I need you to help me with a favor tomorrow.”

The next day Thiago was outside with his car, I went downstairs to see Hunter and Kaleb discussing I ignored them trying to sneak out.
“Amirah… ”
‘Oh god’
“I’m not running away, I just need to do something in London, I need to go see a doctor.” I said lowly.
He got up and walked up to me.
“I’m sorry about yesterday, I didn’t mean to anything I said, I was just frustrated and I fucked up.” he said his gaze was begging me to stay.
I only nodded.
“I didn’t have the right to find out anything, you are right.” I muttered lowly we both heard a loud horn coming from outside.
“I shouldn’t keep Thiago waiting.” I said about to leave but he gripped tightly to my hand and I stopped.
“What ever you find what you’re looking for promise me now you’ll be back.” I turned to face him.
“I promise.” I said, he let’s me go while I ran to the car with Thiago.
We first drove to the airport, then boarded a plane Thiago booked and spend probably more than eight hours before landing in London.
We took a cab after to one of the Dominiquez houses in London before going to an apartment to knock on a specific door and waited.
Someone was busy trying to answer it yelling he was coming.
“How many times have I told you I don’t do interviews… ” he froze when he saw me and then put on his glasses which was attached to a rope swinging round his neck.
He was a matured man probably in his 60’s, he had grey hair but lost most of his hair having a bald patch. He wore slacks and a buttoned up shirt.
“Amirah? Is that you ?” he asked while I nodded.
“What are you doing here?” he said letting us both in and gestured us both to sit down.
“Doctor Gael, I know you are responsible for messing with my memories I want them back.” I stated.
“Does your sister know about this? ” he asked.
“Avery’s dead, I need my memories back I need to know why Avery lied to me and made you erase my memories, I need to know probably I could find out who killed her please help me.” I said in a whimper as he sighed.
“I didn’t erase your memories, they are still there but locked away I can help reverse it by using the mantra I used to hypnotize you, but you can only remember what happened 72 hrs before your memories were hidden, and possibly after that every memory your sister was trying to lock might reveal themselves later but let me ask you a question.”
“Do you love your life now? He asked.
“How? ” I asked confused.
“You’ve made new memories and so they may clash with your old ones and possibly trigger your previous emotions towards some people if I reverse this mantra probably your emotions before may be stronger than now.” he said.
“I don’t really care I want to find out who really I am. ” I said.
“Your sister hid your memories for a reason Amirah, if I unlock your memories everything she tried to protect you from will be in vain, you can back out now if you want”
“Do it.” I ordered, he nodded and laid me on a desk.
“Close your eyes, you will be trapped in a deep sleep the moment i snap my fingers you will remember everything that happened the last 72 hours, good luck Amirah.”
He snapped his fingers and I was out cold.
