NATHANIEL WINTER ❤️
"There's this girl, the nanny who watches our kids,She keeps calling me 'Mr. Stranger,' and it sounds familiar. It's like the voice I heard that night."
"Do you remember anything else?" Dave asked
"When I try to remember, I get a really bad headache," I said, rubbing my temples. "I feel like my brain is going to explode."
"Thank God Eric isn't here, Maybe it's better if you keep the nanny close. She might be able to help you remember something."
"But you keep telling me not to remember,You say nothing happened. Why would you want me to remember something that didn't happen?"
"Nathaniel, a lot happened, And you need to remember everything."
"What are you talking about?, I don't understand."
"You're living in a mist of enemies and demons and monsters, And the only way to get out of it is to remember what happened."
"Then help me remember,"
"I wish I could," Dave said, shaking his head. "But my hands are tied. There's nothing I can do."
"Then I'll ask Eric to help,"I said, my mind made up.
"No, please don't,Don't tell Eric anything, including that Willow is claiming to be Ariana. It's too dangerous."
"Hey, don't bring Ari into this, I need to get back to work." I turned back to my laptop,
My fingers flying over the keys as I tried to focus on my work.
But my mind kept drifting back to the conversation I 'd just had with Dave.
What was Dave hiding from me? And why was he so insistent that I should not tell Eric anything?
SIENNA EVERGREEN ❤️
"Vivian, why don't you tell me what's going on?" I yelled
"What are you talking about?" Vivian said, her eyes wide with confusion.
"Why don't you tell me that Nathaniel has memory loss?"
"How did you know that? How could you possibly know that?"
"Just tell me!" Please, just tell me the truth."
"Yes, it's true,"
"Then why hasn't he been taken to the hospital?"
"It's none of your business, You need to mind your own business."
"Of course it's my business!" I shot back. "I care about Nathaniel. Why won't your sister take him to the hospital? He needs help!"
"Why are you so concerned about that?" Vivian asked, her eyes narrowed.
"Because I love him, I know it's wrong, but I can't help it. I just want to help him."
Vivian stood up, her face a mask of disbelief. "Are you crazy? You're in love with my sister's husband? Are you mad?"
"I'm not carzy,I just want to help him"
Vivian laughed, but there was no humor in the sound. "Sienna, you're better off leaving this alone,It's not your place to help him. You need to stay out of it."
"I'm not going to,I'm going to help him regain his memory. I promise."
Vivian's eyes flashed with anger. "You dare not,You better not try it."
"I will,"
Vivian's hand flashed out, slapping me across the face. "I'm just protecting you, My sister is dangerous. She's wicked. If you don't back off, I'll put you in your place."
My hand flew to my cheek, the sting of the slap still burning.
But I stood my ground, my eyes meeting Vivian's with a steely determination. "I don't care,"
"You're playing with fire,And it's going to burn you."
"I'm water, You're fire. I'll quench you and your sister if you try to stop me from helping him." With that, I turned and walked away, leaving Vivian standing there, seething with anger and frustration.
"Oh my goodness, what have I done?" Vivian said aloud, her hands shaking.
"Why did I introduce her to my sister? Now I might lose another friend." She closed her eyes, trying to calm the storm of emotions raging within her.
She had to find a way to fix this mess...................
