Ten years was such a long time, Maki thought as she walked hand-in-hand with Anders past the crowd. She had never expected that Anders’ ‘amnesia’ had lasted for such a long time. By now, her brother had formally retired and they relocated to Malaysia where they planned to live a peaceful, simple life.
It was Colton who had met a pleasant Malaysian local of mixed heritage that drew him into the idea of moving there. Maki didn’t mind her brother’s decision, since she had never been fully drawn to life in Thailand, longing to venture elsewhere to find her passion.
What if one day, he recovered her memories? Maki thought, fearing for the worst. They were now married and having a son together, who she named Alastair.
She hadn’t expected that this fateful encounter with Anders’ former wife and her new family was just around the corner. Or that one day, it would be their children whose fates would be entwined with each other.
