Tears of the Yakuza Heiress

CHAPTER 6: The Past

Liam's POV

I was holding her hand tightly, I don't want to let her go, when I went home earlier, I thought she was gone because I can't find her, she is not answering my calls also

Why ali? – she asked

I looked at her, I can't keep my cool because I was so worried for her

I'm fine Ali – she said, I know she saw that I am worried

Can you tell me everything that happened to you in that place? – I told her

I stared at her, she nodded slowly, I look outside the window, we are running out of time

They want her dead.. F*ck

We have arrived Mr and Mrs Lu – Migo my driver

I guided her as we went out the car

Take a bath now and go to my office after, we need to talk – I said, she just nodded and walked silently

I went to the balcony of my office here at home, watching the sunset, I can feel how dangerous this thing could be, but I am sure I will protect her

Ali?

I looked at her and she looks troubled

What's with the mood? - I asked her

I'm worried - she said with a low voice

About? - I asked

You're different earlier, is there any problem? - she asked

I guided her to sit beside me

I am here wife, as long as I am here you don't have to worry about anything - I assured her

but please tell me everything that happened to you in that house, how did you get there? - I added

she stared at me like she was estimating if she needs to tell me or not

Wife, you asked me to marry you to get revenge, how can I help you if I know nothing about your past? I know you have trauma, you are af–

I have dissociative amnesia

Amnesia?

Calista's POV

Wife, you asked me to marry you to get revenge, how can I help you if I know nothing about your past? I know you have trauma, you are af–

I have dissociative amnesia - i cut him off

What? - he was surprised

I nodded, I believe I have to trust him now, but before I spill everything I know, I need to ask this to him

Ali, before I tell you what happened can you please answer this question that has been bugging me? - I asked him while looking directly at him, he does the same at me

Long Silence

What is it? - he asked and he didn't break the eye contact with me

Have we met before I came to you? - I asked, he stared at me

he nodded

Do you know me? - I asked again

Yes, but not enough - he answered directly

how? When and where? - I added

6 years ago in underground - he said

he took his phone in his pocket, he scrolled his phone then later on he showed it to me

H-how? How on earth was I in that field?

Lime that is your code name - he added

Lime.. - I voiced out of nowhere and feels so familiar to hear

You were gone in a snap then after 6 years you were standing in front of me asking me to marry you - he said

so, you accept my proposal because you know me in the first place? - I asked

he nodded

I don't intend to marry someone that I do not know Cali - he said seriously while looking at me, I can feel my heart is beating so fast, I am nervous, this feeling is overwhelming.. I felt butterflies in my stomach..

So is it my turn now? - he asked

6 years ago, I was abducted - I started

I was tortured there by those people that I do not know, I was starved to death, I was fed by rocks, trash, spoiled foods, dog and cat foods..

as I remembered the incident I started to tremble, I felt his hand above mine, I started crying..

I can't remember exactly how I was in that place, I only remember how I was tortured, they burned my skin, they kicked me, they punched me everywhere.. I was there for 8 months.. I was losing hope then I finally got the courage to escape.. I run, run and run until I can see people...

FLASH BACK

Nasaan siya??!!!

Hanapin niyo!!! hindi pa nakakalayo non!

Mananagot tayo kay boss pag nawala yon!

I was hiding at the back of the warehouse, I saw them all scattered in the area. When I got an opportunity I ran as fast as I could, I didn't mind all the wounds, broken bones that I've got. All I know is I need to run

As i was running I can see few meters away the city buildings

I got more courage and strength pain feels nothing my body is numb, as I reached the city

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!!!!

I got hit by a truck

BOOGGSSHHHH

BLAAAGG

CRAAASHHH

END OF FLASHBACK

As I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital, I saw different faces and I do not know them all.

Do you remember any marks or codes on those people who did that to you? - he asked in a cold tone

a tattoo, skull with thorns - I answered

After I got discharged from the hospital. My step mom acts like she cares when grandpa and father was there, but if not she always humiliates me. I was told that I was left in an orphanage because my parents didn't love me, and that I was useless and ugly...

Ali, I was broken that time and they keep on shattering me into pieces. At first I thought she would change and she just hated me. I was trying to gain her love but I saw her putting acid in my drink. with that I started to doubt everything she does. I was given medicine for me to not remember anything. It is so traumatic and I kept on asking what have I done, I was just trying to be a good daughter..

I can't control my emotions anymore, he pulled me closer to him and hugged me tight, the pain slowly faded the moment he hugged me.. This is a big risk for me.. but..

Ali.. I hope you are worth the risk.. I can feel that you are now my medicine..
