My Amnesia Boyfriend

CHAPTER 31: Reopening Past

William's POV

"Is she coming to the ball?" I asked Paul. 

He shrugs, "I honestly don't know. She's been staying with her new boyfriend most of the time even Dana doesn't know if they RSVPed." He says. 

"How was she anyway? I haven't seen her post anything nor even TMZ." 

He throws a pillow over me. WTF?

"Are you pretending not to know or you are just really stupid lately that you don't know what's going on?" He laughs sarcastically.

I have so much in my plate lately especially after I received a call from David. I had to meet his people to cover some dirty work for him. I managed to let two of his men enter the country with the help of my dad's connection from the Feds. David promised me that he won't make any mess that will involve my name and he said that he will keep his business lowkey but I don't trust him. These past few days I haven't slept much and I had to hire someone to keep an eye on Allyson especially because  just recently she received a threat-I can call that a threat because it seems like David is trying to warn me-and I know Paul is just hiding it from me, coz they don't want me to do some action about it.

"What is?" I frown.

"She might be leaving for Portland."

What?

"What did you say?" I stand and walk towards his direction, leaning on the bar.

"Well, Dana said she will be leaving after the ball. She will be in-charge for their branch in Portland."

"Is it safe there?"

He laughs and looked at me as if I'm mad, "Are you crazy? Why would it be dangerous there? Plus, she will be with her new boyfriend. I'm sure Mr. Fancy CEO has an army to protect her."

"That's not a good reason not to be careful."

Paul continues to talk but my mind is clouded by the fact that Allyson will be leaving the city and worst, she will be leaving without me.

I shallowly ignored Paul and decided to dial Allyson's number. Luckily, she answers on the second ring.

"Hi." She greets.

"Where are you?" I ask.

"I'm at home. Why?" She sounds annoyed.

"Paul mentioned that you'll be leaving for Portland?"

"Yes."

"But why?"

"My mother needs help to fix some mess in the Portland office. I will come back after few months or if everything goes well there, I might stay for good."

And leave me.

"You can't leave the city."

"Well, I can."

"Ally, I know you've moved on with your life but leaving the city is dangerous. Your family is here and your friends are here too. You can't just leave and be with someone you just met."

"Will, is this about Max? Listen, we're done and you don't have to worry about me and my welfare. Max will be there with me. I love Max, why can't you just live with that?"

Love.

She hanged up. 

I kick the bar stool, making all the stools fall.

"Look, Will, I don't wanna get into your head but you should stop being highly protective of Allyson. She's not your property and besides, she's someone else's responsibility now." Paul's voice coming from behind.
