Amnesia

The Secret

I turned toward him as he headed toward the large closet.

After a while he came out fully dressed. He then headed toward the restroom.

I got out of bed and quickly changed before Xavier got out of the bathroom.

I then began to fix the bed.

Xavier finally got out of the restroom with his hair styled.

I couldn't deny it, he was a very handsome man.

He walked toward me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"You look beautiful in that dress."

He pushed a piece of my hair behind my ear as he smiled at me.

"Thank you." I said.

He moved closer to me, giving me a gentle kiss on my forehead.

"I'll wait for you downstairs so we can have breakfast together."

He then left the room.

I held my hand to my heart feeling my rapid heart beat. What the hell is wrong with me?

I just wasn't used to this much kindness and attention from a person I viewed as a stranger.

After I brushed my teeth and got myself ready, I headed downstairs to meet with Xavier.

I followed the same route from the previous morning and eventually I found the dining room.

However before I arrived I heard Xavier speaking on the phone.

"No, she has no idea. Please don't tell her anything. All she thinks is that she's my wife. Yes, I know that's not true. I have everything under control. If she were to figure out the truth it would be too painful for her. For now let me take care of her. It's going to be alright, I have to go, she'll be here any minute."

Was he talking about me? What was Xavier hiding from me?

Did he say that I thought I was his wife? Does that mean it's not true? Are we not actually married?

I began to feel very worried. My stomach hurt and I suddenly felt scared.

I needed to calm down. If Xavier was lying to me then I needed to figure out the truth one way or the other. I needed to pretend like I didn't know anything.

But most importantly I needed to make him believe that I cared for him. I needed to take on the role as his wife, whether it was true or not. This would allow me to have him trust me.

I needed him to let his guard down and this was the best way to do it. This way I would be able to figure things out on my own without him suspecting I was on to him.

I needed to be strong and not let my emotions get to me. Although remembering my life would be the easiest way to know the whole truth, but I didn't know how long that would take.

After a while of just standing in a corner I headed toward the dining room.

"You're finally here my love. Come take a seat beside me. Dorothy said the chef made pancakes."

I wasn't going to tell him what I heard. I needed to figure out information on my own. But I needed people I could trust.

Maybe Dorothy could be that person but I wasn't sure yet.

I sat down next to Xavier and ate my breakfast.

Occasionally he would grab my hand and kiss it.

I could help but get a bit nervous when he did it.

"I plan to call my grandmother today."

Xavier looked at me.
