prepared Jace's favorite food and set the table in excitement, uncontrollable tears of joy stream down my face when I remember how miserable the past two months have been until I got the good news two weeks ago that Jace is out of the coma. He will be discharged today so everyone left the house to bring him back from the hospital while I'm to stay behind and prepare breakfast.

After setting the dining table and cleaning his room, I wait anxiously at the sitting room for their arrival. I have no idea why but Madam Emily made sure I had no chance to see Jace after he came out of the coma two weeks ago, I couldn't even sneak into his ward to see him since the security became tight after he regain consciousness so that the person who made an attempt on his life before will not be able to harm him at the hospital once whosoever it is found out that he's still alive.

I practically ran out of the house when I hear the sound of the car horn I have been straining my ears to hear for hours. I see dad's car zoom into the compound first, followed by Madam Emily's car, and lastly, one other car I recognize as aunt Jane (Cassie mom)'s car.

I rush to Sir Marcus' car and wait eagerly with a wide smile on my lips, the back door opens and Jace steps out of the car. It was just like the first time I set my eyes on him, his eyes scanned everywhere and then lands on me.

I can't help but notice that he has lost some weight, poor Jace. I can not decipher the look he is giving me right now but I don't care all I want is to wrap my arms around him and give him a bone-crushing hug.

"Jace," I call softly and fight back my tears, it feels surreal seeing him in front of me hale and healthy. "Jace," I call again and step forward to give him the hug that I have been wishing to give him when I see someone else also step out of the car.

Cassie?

Cassie wraps her hand around his waist possessively. "Careful sweetheart." She says sweetly and scowls at me.

"Who is she?" Jace asks Cassie while staring at me with his eyebrows knit in confusion.

What.The.Heck?! My mouth hangs open in shock.

"Oh her? Not someone important, she's just the maid."

"Oh..." He stares at me from head to toes and makes his way towards the house with Cassie fawning over him.

I watch in confusion as Madam Emily and Aunt Jane walk past me while chatting with each other happily as if I do not exist or I'm not important in their world.

"Sasha." I jump when I hear someone call beside me, I turn to look at who it is and it turns out to be Sir Marcus.

I throw my arms around him and weep on his shoulders uncontrollably. Surprisingly, we have grown so close to each other during the time Jace and I were dating.

"Dad? What's going on dad? Why is Jace asking who I'm?"

He didn't say anything for a while, he just patted my back till my tears reduced to hiccups.

"Jace is suffering from amnesia, he lost about a year and a few months of his memory so he doesn't remember you. But don't worry, the doctor assured us that he will regain those memories back with time."

"W-What?"

"Stop crying now and cheer up." He gives me a final pat on the back and walks into the house.

Ashley also walks to where I'm with tears in her eyes.

"Mom didn't tell him about you, she made him believe he is in a serious relationship with that bitch."

Now I see the reason why I wasn't allowed to see Jace in the hospital when he came out of the coma.

"And do you know the most annoying part of it all?" Ashley asks and nothing could have prepared me for what I heard next because all my hopes that all will be well once he regains his memory got smashed into tiny pieces. "Cassie and her mom were able to produce a copy of the marriage contract with Jace's signature on it."

"W-What?" I jerk back in shock as if I'm being hit by an invincible force.

Did Jace sign the marriage contract before his accident?

I walk out of the house and spot the black convertible car parked a few distances away from the house and turn around to see if anyone is following me. Satisfied with what I saw, I walk straight to the car and enter the passenger side.

He didn't wait for me to settle down fully into the passenger seat before pouncing on me.

"Ace...wait." It came out like a moan as he sucks on my neck and his hand made its way under my skirt. I try to push him away weakly but he wouldn't bulge.

"This is the first time we will be meeting after a month and you're telling me to wait?" He scoffs and finally moves away from me.

"Calm down Ace, I promise you I will be all yours tonight. All yours." I assure while flashing him a flirty smirk.

"Really?"

"Yes... But first, where is it?" I ask eagerly, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

"Ohh!" He leans over a bit and opens the glove compartment, inside it is the pill I'm desperately in need of. There are about five packets in there, he picks them up and passes them to me.

"Those are Antihistamines, put two tablets in his coffee in the morning at least thrice every week and he will never regain his memories."

"Aww...Thanks, Ace, that's why I love you." I say while plastering a fake smile on my face.

"Let's go, babe."

"Where?"

"The hotel, of course, I have made reservations for us."

"Alright. I already told you, I'm yours tonight."

Ace grins in satisfaction and starts the ignition of the car.

If not for what I needed and may still need from him. I thought with a heavy sigh while gripping the pills tightly.

Bryan brings a key from his pocket and unlocks the door of the 'special room' he walks into the room and burst into his signature hysteric laughter. The room is extravagantly designed in pink and white, on the wall opposite the bed are hundreds of pictures of Sasha pinned to the wall and there is also a few pictures of Sasha and Jace but in those pictures, Jace's face is crossed out with a red marker.

"Very soon my love. Very soon."
