(Karla's POV)
(Car)

I can't believe I'm here at the parking lot of the restaurant. Pierre Smith message me to meet me here. He have something to do. But I don't trust anyone just like that.

But I got out and get in. The waitress came to me.

"I'm Karla Reyes, I'm here for the reservation under the name of Pierre Smith." I said.

"This way, miss. Mr Smith is waiting for you." Waitress said.

I just follow her. That's leads me to the VIP section of the Restaurant. We got in the VIP Area.

"Mr Smith, Ms Reyes is here." Waitress said.

"Thank you." Mr Smith said. "Please sit down. We have lot to talk about. But my time is precious to me."

"I'm sorry for being late."

"It's ok. I understand that you don't trust me or even know me." He said. Sipping his coffee. "That's why."

"Why did you call me?" I said.

"Lets order something first?" Mr Smith said. Then call the waiter.

"Good afternoon sir and ma'am. I'm your waiter for today. What your order?" Waiter said.

"I'll have steak medium rare. Some salad and  water please." Mr Smith said

"How about you ma'am?"

"I'll have same as him. But my steak as to be cook perfect. With mango juice."

"15mins your order will be served."

"Thank you." Mr Smith said.

As the waiter leave.

"I'm Pierre Smith. Owner of Smith International Group of companies. And the father of Sky Cali Paris." He said. "I have a documents that can hold you on what Jett Manuel searching for. It's Sky's Medical Records and more."

He put the documents to my front.

"You can hold him with this. If something went wrong on your way." He said.

"Why are you helping me?" I said.

"I just want to stop Jett's on disturbing my daughter." He said. "And I heard that the Reyes and Manuel Firm is merging. And the perfect plan for that is an arrange marriage to each other."

The door is open and waiter came with our food.

"Sir, Ma'am here's your meal." Waiter said.

They put our food in our front respectively. Then leave.

"If Jett Manuel disagree. You can hold him with that." He said. And start eating.

"What is it for you?" I said.

"I just want to Jett Manuel stop disturbing my daughter who is fragile in this age." He said. "After this you would heard a word from me."

Then a phone call.

"Yes. Ok. Ok. Ok. I'll be there." He said.

Then he ended the call.

"I have to go." He said and wipe his mouth. "I'll pay the food. You finish yours."

He stand up and look at the time. I'm still don't know what to do. He's right Manuel and Reyes firm is merging. And my dad planning arrange married Jett and I

But I couldn't understand Jett this past two months. And I know it's because of Sky.

I'm so confused. I don't know what to do.

(Jett’s POV)
(Firm)

I'm walking to my dad's office. I knock.

"Come in." Dad said.

I open the door and enter the office. It's Firm. Our firm. Manuel's Engineering Firm. This is dad's founded. I saw Karla Reyes sitting on the opposite side of the visitor chair.

"Dad you called me?" I said

"Sit down." He said.

I sit down on the empty chair.

"What is it?" I said.

"I want you to marry Karla Reyes as soon as possible." Dad said.

"What?" I said.

"I told you a possible merge of the two firm and Kyle, Karla's Dad and I been thinking. And cam out of the solution of why the two of get married." Dad said.

"Dad that unfair." I said.

"That final Jett. It’s all been set. You two will be husband and wife for one week from now." Dad said.

"I object on this." I said.

"Why wouldn't you marry me?" Karla said.

I look down. I still don’t know what happen to Sky for 8 month ago. My mind is still messed up.

"Its still Sky? Right? I should have known." She said. I see Karla took something from her bag. Envelope.

She push it to me. I just look at it.

"This is the medical record of Sky Paris Cali Smith 8 month ago. But I will give it to the day we get married." Karla said.

"How did you get that?" I said.

"I have my ways." Karla said. She get the the envelope. And stand up. And go to out.

I looked down this must be my punishment for leaving Sky.

One month ago.

I was looking at the files of Sky on my private office.

It's been one week of my marriage to Karla and I. I'm back to playing what I love. And managing my projects. Karla juts give me the papers now.

Pierre Smith is behind of me and Karla’s marriage. He gave Karla the medical records. And Karla just grab the opportunity to be with me forever. Because she love me.
I just can’t believe it.

I was the one, why sky had that accident. That’s why Justin is mad at me. That’s why sky don’t remember me. It all because of me. If I didn’t be so selfish of that day. This may be prevented.
