CHAPTER 50
Zara’s POV
I AM SO sore down there when I woke up this morning. Seriously, it feels like I’ve been hammered in the thighs due to excessive soreness. I’m gasping due to the pain, it’s as if I worked out without resting. Just imagine, I can’t even remember which round we stopped at last night.
And I feel shameless to think that something happened between Lucas and me without me fully recovering my memories. Although I’d be lying straight if I said it didn’t feel amazing. Because it was heavenly, he took me straight to heaven. Lucas has the power to do that to me.
I woke up quite late, probably around 10 in the morning, and I wouldn’t have woken up if Lucas, well, my husband, didn’t wake me up. It’s still a bit awkward for me, slightly. But I noticed that I’m becoming more comfortable around him. It just feels so normal.
Even if I can’t remember everything yet, it feels normal to sense that he’s my husband and I’m his wife.
I wasn’t aware that I was blushing from that thought. Ugh, wake up, Zara!
“Have you eaten, dear? It’s late and you shouldn’t skip breakfast,” Lucas said to me. He had a tray with a breakfast set. It smells so good and mouthwatering.
I have quite the appetite, but I’m a bit shy because Lucas is just staring at me the whole time I’m eating.
“You might melt me with that stare,” I jokingly said to break his gaze.
“You won’t, I will not let you melt and go away from me again. Seriously, Love, you should know that you are locked with me, to my love… Even destiny won’t be able to take you away from me,” Lucas said, his eyes fixed on me, his tone possessive.
I would be lying if I said I’m not getting butterflies. My heart is pounding heavily now. This is the definite effect of Lucas’s simple and short but emotional words for me.
Lost in thought, I found myself smiling at him. “Will you wait for me? Will you wait for me to remember everything before anything else?” I asked.
He nodded. “Of course, Love. I can give you time, but not your freedom anymore. You are mine from now on,” he said with a slightly possessive tone.
He left me for a while. He wanted to assist me since he exactly knows my state right now. I’m awfully tired, exhausted, and so sleepy. It feels like I’ve been hit hard by a bull during what we did.
Speaking of stamina in bed, if we were to discuss that, I’d say it’s insanely strong. If I hadn’t passed out around dawn, he probably wouldn’t have stopped. I feel like there’s a yearning in what we did… Just like I am.
Gosh, why am I thinking about this so early in the morning?
Seriously, I don’t want to spend my whole day reminiscing about last night’s naughty encounter.
Even though I’m a bit sore, I still manage to take a shower and do my morning routine. I caught my child in the living room playing with a puzzle. I kissed him on the cheek, he greeted me good morning, and I did the same.
After that, I went straight to the kitchen. The housekeeper isn’t here the whole day since she’s the one who gets our rations and supplies for the week.
“The whole week?” I asked Lucas. We’re still in the kitchen. He just took a bottle of water while I’m preparing sandwiches for our snack later.
“Yeah, a week. We’re going back to Claybourne. They should know by now that you’re back. Many people miss you. You just vanished suddenly. Many are still hoping to see you. You have a lot of catching up to do, love.” I understand that.
I suddenly felt excitement. Because first, I’ll be able to fill in the gaps that Zach denied me. I know that I still have a life back home. I still have a place to stay and return to.
I nodded at him. He returned to working on his laptop. Meanwhile, I’m preparing our snack.
I really feel like a wife and a mother. I don’t know, but in the past few days, I’ve become even more content. It’s true what they say, you’ll only be happy with the right person. And honestly, it feels like I’m with the right person now.
Days passed by, and I didn’t even notice that it’s already our last day on the island. I’ve grown attached to this place. I have so many memories here with my child and of course, with Lucas.
Using a private helicopter, we’re on our way to Claybourne. It’s quite dizzying, isn’t it? And I’m quite nervous again about what’s going to greet me upon my return.
Lucas held my hand while we’re on the helicopter, and our child is in between us.
“Don’t think too much, Love. You’ll be happy to see them again, they’re nice. And no one will hurt you anymore. I promise happiness for you,” he said, and I know what he said is true.
“Thank you, okay? Thank you for being patient with me. For being so considerate even though I haven’t fully remembered yet.” He squeezed my hand that’s holding his.
“I love you, Zara. Maybe those three words are enough to tell you that you mean the world to me,” he said.
We’ve arrived at the landing area. The first place we went to is my parents’ house, my mom’s house to be exact.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
So we arrived at a familiar house. My heart is pounding so hard. I saw an almost senior citizen woman watering her orchids in the garden.
I can’t believe I’m feeling this overwhelming affection again. When she saw me, she dropped the hose she was holding and hugged me tightly.
“Oh my God! Tell me I’m not dreaming! Tell me this is real. You’re here, my child,” my mom said, tears in her eyes. I’m also crying while hugging her tightly.
“It’s really me, Mom. I’m finally home.”
