Chapter 34: Meeting His Fiancée
Viviana couldn’t sleep the entire night. She thought about how she could handle the trouble thrown at her. The easy outcome would be her death. She enters the party hall, and everyone shoots at her with their gun. The end.
But she didn’t think that Leander had that outcome in his mind. Why would he want her to have a makeover? Is it a ploy? Is he giving her hope only to pull the rug under her feet?
Leander couldn’t fall asleep either. His finger hovered over the video Steve sent him. He couldn’t bring up the courage to watch it. Somehow the way she said "burn" made all his past pain return.
Guess, one can never get over one’s trauma... A simple word can bring back the pain.
Fire—the worst destroyer. He knows because he had the scar to prove it.
He was in a fire accident when he was thirteen. Although they did a lot of grafts and surgeries, he still has remnant scars from that horrid accident. He successfully hid them with his tattoo. It was that incident and the following surgeries that gave him amnesia. He doesn’t remember much of his childhood other than what others had told him.
Ah!
He rubbed his head.
Thinking about that incident used to give him terrible headaches. The doctors said that it was his brain’s attempt to block the painful memories of that incident. But rather than that, he wondered if it was because he didn’t want to forget one important detail from that day.
The memory he wants to have back must have something to do with the angel he etched on his chest—the angel he felt strongly connected to. Not because he was religious, but because...
He didn’t know. But there should be some connection! He felt it in his bones. Whenever he thinks of it, his heart hurts.
What am I forgetting?
