Winning Back The Heiress (Heir And Heiress #2) (COMPLETED)✔

My Angel

"You seem to know your way around, have you been here before?" She pipes up.

"Yeah, once. It was a school project" I respond looking ahead.

I see the river from afar and different memories crash on me.

This used to be our spot.

"Wow, it's so beautiful" she says once we get there. It's already dark out and the reflection of the moon and stars makes the river looks surreal.

"Yeah, beautiful" I respond looking at her.

I just can't help it, everything about her makes me mushy.

She turns to look at me and when she notices i'm staring at her, she ducks her head shyly before clearing her throat.

I see a log close to the river bank and I lead her there to sit.

"A school trip huh? I've never been on one" she mumbles while bending down to pick stones to throw in the river but I still hear her.

"Why? Every school goes on one once in a while" I ask trying to keep the conversation going even though I already know the answer.

"I don't know. I might have been on one before. I don't remember" she says throwing the stones but they all sink without skipping. I bend down to pick some stones too.

"Well, the thing is I don't really remember my childhood or most of my teenage years for that matter" she states looking off into the distance.

"What happened?" I ask.

I feel so happy that she feels safe enough to  even open up to me.

"My parents said it was an accident. I don't have any recollection of the incident. All I remember is waking up in a hospital bed" She replies.

"Does it bother you that you can't remember anything?" I question.

"Yeah, I guess. I just keep wondering if maybe I had friends, people who I cared for before the incident. But then I realize that if that was the case, they would have come looking for me and at least try to reintroduce themselves to me" She answers throwing another stone and this time it skips once before sinking.

"I did search for you" I murmur without thinking.

"What did you say?" She questions turning to face me.

"Nothing. That's not how to skip stones" I utter throwing one into the river making it skip four times before sinking.

"Show-off" she says smiling softly and I have to control myself from shifting closely to her and kissing her.

"What if you suddenly get your memories back one day and realize that you had someone special you left behind?" I ask staring at the ground unable to look at her face.

I failed to protect her.

"I doubt it. Besides if that ever happens, the person would have probably moved on and forgotten about me"  She finishes with a sigh.

"What about you? Have you ever experienced that special feeling with a special someone?" She asks and then starts shaking her head immediately when I turn to look at her.

Yeah, you.

"I'm sorry for prying sir" she apologizes.

"I've already told you to stop apologizing to  me Esmeralda, we're not in the office. I'm not your boss at the moment" I say.

"And yes, I had that special connection once. She was all I wanted and all I never deserved. I used to call her my angel, I was young but I was truly in love with her. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid my eyes on" I voice staring at her.

I want her to look at me and remember but I know that won't happen.

"Wow...is it Daisy? What happened to her?" she mutters looking down at the ground.

"I failed her. She's gone" I respond raising my head to look at the moon which was glowing brighter.

"Did she love you too?"

"She did. Her heart is the most valuable gift I've received till date" I reply.

"Then I'm sure she wouldn't want you to blame yourself for whatever happened. She would want you to be happy"
