Falling

Chapter 3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A week had past . The Doctor gave approval for my  discharge . Over the week , many people I knew came to visit me including my closest friend . They had all grown , which was scary on my part as I still pictured them as teenagers. They all told me that everything was going to be okay , and that I should just put my faith in God to heal me, however , they all avoided one question, who I was married to.

One of the nurses who had tended to me for the past week gave me a pair of new clothes, however without passing a flirtatious look. As much as any man would appreciate such especially from an attractive nurse, I was disturbed by the amount of make up she wore, however I was more surprised that it hadn't melted away.

As soon as I was ready I saw my doctor speaking to a short woman. She wore expensive clothing which screamed I am wealthy yet with class. After she signed something , she looked around till her eyes met mine. A unsettling feeling paraded in the pit of my stomach. She looked very familiar yet I couldn't picture out who she was.

She stalked closer as if afraid that I might hurt her.

" Hi , are you ready to go?" She asked carefully.

She was the one picking me up, and my parents told me that my wife would...

"Yes I am."

A small smile played across her face as she picked up my bag.
Two built men appeared out of nowhere and shielded us as we approached the entrance , Flashes of bright lights flicked rapidly squaring my vision

" How do you feel after the accident Mr Knight?"one askedm

"Is it true that you lost your memory as a result to your sudden disappearance" the other asked.

As the bodyguards pushed their way through the hounding crowd, we made it to the luxurious car.

" Guys it's okay , I'll drive " She said with a smile. 

Nodding their heads in response,  they made their way to another car. And I was unfortunately stuck with a woman who seems to have the entire country on her every trail. Casey was quiet and reserved , never received this much attention yet this woman seemed to posses such .

The car ride was silent , neither of us uttered a word. We stopped by some extravagant gate with D engraved on one side and A engraved on the other.

Did it stand for our names ?

" Yes sir , it stands for your name , but not mine." She said as she patiently waited

"Yes Mrs Knight,  we're here." She spoke.

Right after the gates opened. The driveway was indescribable with cherry blossom trees canopying   the driveway.  It's beauty was soothing and calm. It took about 5 minutes till we reached the house , which wasn't a house but a mansion. I watched in awe as another gate opened revealing a palace like structure . As soon as she killed the engine, I stepped out to have a better view.

"This is beautiful " I said to the woman next to me.

" Yes Sir it is , built with yours and Mrs Knight hard work. By the way , my name is Bridget and I'm your personal assistant."

So that's who she was.

A group of maids came rushing , each taking a bag and rushing back inside . This extraordinary place belonged to me. Walking into the house I am met by a grand entrance. Large spiral stairs leading to the upper part of the house.

A short lady made her way down the stairs. Her emarald eyes and chestnut curls were her most striking features. She was really pretty to say the least. She approached me cautiously . To make the situation less awkward , I took the first step .

" Your house is very beautiful mam" I said.

Her face broke into a small smile.
As she stepped closer a small bump was visible on her stomach .

"Actually it's our house " She whispered.

Our...

"You're my  wife?" I asked softly.

It might have come out the wrong way judging by her reaction , a mixture of pain and shock which was quickly covered by a smile.

Fake

"Yes I am." She said with sadness laced in her voice

I had a certain  urge to hug her and kill the sadness but I knew that I couldn't , more especially since I didn't remember her.

" I'm sorry ." I whispered.

She shook her head as if to say that it was alright  , but I knew it wasn't.

"Its okay." She said

I watched as the gestured for me to follow her. Which I did as she led me down the hallway . A wide spacious room with white walls and many windows stood before us. It had a great view of the courtyard. Wait this place has a courtyard too.

"Well, this will be your room.Everything you need is there from your clothing to your gadgets." She said .

Aren't we supposed to share the same room ?

"We are , but  I figured that you'd want your own space" She said softly.

I took this little opportunity to assess her . She stood 4'8 making her way shorter as compared to me. Her frizzy hair and emarald orbs gave her a look of innocence , her olive skin complimented her eyes. Her hourglass figure would have any man on her knees. In other words  She was a very beautiful  woman , but not the type I would normally go out with. Despite the million questions I had for her , a  disturbing feeling settled in my chest as I  stared at her stomach.

" So I have to go to a meeting,  if you need anything just press the button and the maids will assist you. " She said looking anywhere but at me

As she turned to go up the stairs, I quickly caught her wrist and twisted her so she was facing me. A tingling sensation drove up my hand as I did so. Weird.

"Your stomach bump, are you pregnant? " I asked hoping that it was just my an illusion

Her head nodded slowly.

Letting go of her hand , she stood staring sadly at me eventually  walking away . I am sadly left with my troubled  thoughts and countless questions
