Chapter 4TIL – Yet another piece of the puzzle

Kristen West

(Ella Marcus)

POV

“Who is Kris?” I ask acting as if I am confused

“You are. Kris what’s going on?” Blake asks confused as to what is going on

“Where am I? Who are you?” I ask faking a frantic panic

He moves closer to me and I flinch backward.

He freezes. “I’ll call the doctor” Blake says leaving the room

I close my eyes. I can fake amnesia be, I know nothing Kristen’s life. I need to figure what the hell is going on in this movie so I can move on with my life.

When Blake returns he was not alone, he came in with the doctor.

“Good morning Mrs West I’m glad to see you away.” He says

He goes to check my chart. He whispers to Blake something and they both look at me.

“You don’t remember anything Mrs West?” he asks looking at me

I don’t answer because I’m not supposed to know who that is. I look at Blake masking a scared and confused look. He walks over to me

“He wants to help you Kris, I need you to speak to him” Blake says holding my hand.

I closed my eyes. I tried to ignore the way holding his hand made me feel. I am not stupid. I know that what I’m feeling for Blake is an attraction and I know the butterflies I feel in my stomach is because his holding my hand. I have read over five hundred romance novels and what I’m feeling is exactly how they describe it in the books.

I take a deep breath to calm myself down and to focus on something else other than what I’m feeling for a fictional character “I don’t know who I am and I have no idea where I am” I say softly

I have to be careful about falling in love with this man; I cannot afford to love him. What happens when I go back home and I he stays here with Kristen. The woman he has loved since childhood. I cannot take that away from him. I need to get my feelings in check.

“What exactly do you remember?” he asks

“I don’t remember anything!” I shout at the doctor.

Blake wraps his arms around my body in a protective manner.

“I suggest you come up with a solution as to why my wife has lost her memories if not I’m going to close down this hospital and the only money you’ll ever make again is standing on the side of the road am I clear?” Blake warns in a cold almost sinister like.

His tone is so cold it send shivers down my spine.

He looks at me and it would seem as if what he just said was a dream he looked at me with so much love and affection. “I’m sorry about that, I just want you to feel better..” he says

It melts my heart. And then I realised there is a big problem one huge damn problem. I am not Kristen and I am not the woman he loves. He loves Kristen. He loves his wife and the mother of his daughter. I want to know why he gave up their daughter.

=========

(ONE OF KRISTEN’S MEMORIES)

Blake is pacing back and forth. I look to the other side of the room Kristen is heavily pregnant.

“What is it Blake you are making me dizzy with your pacing. Stand still and tell me what’s going on.” Kristen jokes

“You remember when we got married I told you that in order to get married to you I had to give my parents something in return?” he asks

Kristen nods.

He stands still looking Kristen in the eye. “I didn’t think much about it at the time. I was just so in love with you and I would have given up my life to marry you” he says

“What did they want Blake because if you say a second wife, I will divorce you” Kristen warns

“No, God no. I am not King Archer. I don’t need multiple wives to keep me happy.” Blake says

“Now what is it Blake you’re making me anxious and in a few seconds I’ll have to pee again” Kristen says

“I promised my parents that our first born will be raised in the palace by them until he or she is eighteen years old. Then he or she would stay with us.” Blake says

"How could you?! How could you give our baby to the people you yourself ran away from?! Blake this is our child!" she shouts.

I could feel the fear, anger and pain rushing through me as if it were my own pain, as if it was my own anger and my own fear. She was still pregnant and she just found out her child was going to be taken away from her days after giving birth. I would be angry too

But I feel for Blake as well. I know at the time he just wanted to marry Kristen and she was all he thought about. The man sacrificed his unborn child to marry the woman he loved. I feel like there is a lot more to the story than this one conversation.

============

I felt a sharp shooting pain in my head. I felt as if my skull was going to c***k open.

“Aaah!” I screamed clutching my head.

I felt Blake holding me tightly

“Help her! can’t you hear her screaming out in pain?!” I heard Blake shout.

He sounded worried. But that was the last thing on my mind my head was freaking killing me.

I remember looking Blake in the eye before losing consciousness.
