Whilst undercover, recovering her memory and in a blossoming love discovers a secret behind her past that changed her very existence. ************************ The rain showered heavily, drizzling with extreme force in the illumination of the night as tears streamed down my eye, yet all I could feel within me was intense pain and raging anger. My mind was in chaos and my heart in pain but the anger I felt within me outweighed them all. We stood stationary in the downpour as we gazed at each other in the solitude of our vicinity. No, I couldn't kill him yet, at least not until he told me the reason why he did it. "why....tell me why you did it". I gazed away from him in hopes to restrain my anger as I muttered clearly in a barely audible voice which reveal my agony but I knew he heard me. "I said why did you do it, tell me!". This time I expressed in far greater modulation when I didn't get a reply from him. "Why do you think I did it?". He enunciated in an indifferent tone and aspect as he continued in the same tone." They defiled god and were given judgment". "God? what sort of damned god?". I expressed in a loud voice as I rushed towards him at full speed sending a punch in the direction of his face. The background surrounding us was suddenly blown away by the wind that assembled from the intensity of the punch, leaves were scattered around and the ground we stood in dug deeper. He caught my hand before the punch could get to his face, he swiftly twisted my hand behind my back holding it firmly as he whispered into my ear in an impassive but scornful timbre. "look at you, you're still so weak and carry around insignificant emotions, after losing so much I expected that you'd change but you're still as naive as ever, giving time to fervent sentiments". My anger increased by the second, I kicked him with my leg and when I noticed he was distracted I used my free hand to deliver a hit on his lower abdomen sending him flying across the trees. He stood up from the grass with a slight slit suit and swiftly took off his lounge leaving on only the black trouser and dress shirt. "Prepare to have your ass handed to you, today is the day you die". I started with a baleful smile and complete resolution.

Chapter Three : Too weak.

I couldn't stay in that room anymore, waking up and doing the same things all over again made me realize there wasn't a point to my existence, I didn't even know my dreams and aspiration, I had no memory of my past how could I look forward to the future all I was left with was a void that no matter how hard I tried and searched could never fill.

"Who am I? where do I come from?, what is my purpose?, why can't I remember?". I muttered as I sat on the grass in the garden gazing at the scenery before me unable to appreciate its radiance.

By the passing of the day I notice new things about myself, as a person who had been in a coma for seven years, I reasoned things would've changed within me but that couldn't account for my variation. Over time I noticed that I was different from everyone else, I had heightened senses as compared to an average human.

"Is he back yet?". I asked when I discerned a maidservant had entered the garden.

"Yes but Miss I wouldn't advise you to go meet him now Mister Chester is in his office now and he doesn't like to be interrupted when he is working". she expressed in worry.

" Did you tell him I needed to speak with him"?I inquired calmly without glancing in her direction.

" No Miss I couldn't, I didn't have the opportunity to do so, perhaps tomorrow Miss".

"I can't wait any longer Natalia, I must see him now".

I stood up from the grass swiftly and walked towards the direction of his office.

He was the one who found me, if there was anyone who may have known me then it would be him.

I had waited desperately since the day we talked, I thought I'd see him after that day but I didn't catch a glimpse of him. He treated me like I didn't exist, ignoring my very existence without a word, I was comfortable and well cared for but I needed explanations and I needed them fast so if he wasn't going to come to me then I'd come to him.

I accelerated my steps with Natalia chasing after me.

" Miss, miss please don't do this, the master would be displeased, yes he treats us well but his known to be a very ruthless man and doesn't forgive mistakes so please rethink your action".

"I'm sorry Natalia but I need to do this".

Increased my walking pace and made the final turn to his office, sighting his office I noted the fact that there weren't any guards present, I wondered why but I couldn't give much thought to it because I had far greater matters to think about.

I stood in front of the door and held the knob, I took a deep breath and speedily opened the door.

It was dark and the lights were dimmed but not to the point where things were inconspicuous.

I glanced at the office desk where the light came from and I couldn't find anyone on the chair.

"And what do you think you are doing here?". someone voiced from the shadows.

A voice that had been registered in memory, the atmosphere surrounding the room became lethal, I suddenly remembered Natalia's words.

'The master is known to be a very ruthless man.

I stood stationary where I was, I couldn't look back then I heard his voice again.

"I asked you questions". He stated, that although his voice was calm it was firm and portrayed authority.

"I wished to talk to you, sir".I voiced when I summed up all the courage I possessed.

Suddenly he emerged from the shadows and sat on his chair. I noticed he didn't even glance at me, it didn't exactly matter to me at least I thought it didn't.

" You desire to speak with me but you possess no knowledge of decorum and appropriate mannerisms".

His words were harsh and for a moment I couldn't speak, I knew it was wrong for me to have gone into his office the way I did but I desperately needed answers.

" I'm sorry sir, it wasn't my intention to barge into your office the way I did but I genuinely needed to speak with you".

There was silence for a while, I thought he was never going to say anything to me because he had started viewing a document on his desk when I decided to leave the office I surprisingly heard his voice.

" What do you wish to discuss with me".

I wasn't surprised he didn't offer me a seat and wasn't even looking at me, all I wanted was my answers.

" I wanted to know the circumstances surrounding your encounter with me that night".

" I trust you've already been informed about my encounter with you by the maids as they do not miss the slightest means to chatter".

" yes I have but I thought there'd be more to it, I have no memories of my past, I don't know who I am, I don't even have a purpose, you found me so maybe there's a chance you knew me or my family". I voiced while I gazed at the floor.

"What makes you think I may have knowledge of your existence, in as much as I choose to save your life that doesn't signify that I knew you, I could have easily left you there in the rain and I wouldn't care".

I didn't know why I was so emotional, I wanted to tear up in front of him, my world suddenly began to crumble. I didn't cry in front of Natalia or any of the maids that I'd known for weeks but all I felt like doing was ventilate in front of a man I barely knew for an hour, I wanted to laugh at the situation.

The room was silent again, I didn't hear a word from him, at that moment I felt stupid, I couldn't believe I pouring out my emotions in front of a stranger.

Unexpectedly I felt his figure before me, then he stated calmly but in an authoritative tone.

"look at me".

I didn't want to look at him because I didn't want him to see the tears I was struggling to hold but he verbalized again this time it was more like a command.

"look at me".

When I did look at him he gently raised my chin with his hand and I was forced to look into his alluring but terrorizing blue eye, my face was flushed red in embarrassment, the room suddenly became hot, my legs became weak, almost losing my balance he held me with his hand bring our bodies closer to each other.

We gazed into each other's eyes for a while until he broke the silence.

"You're too weak and wear your emotions on your sleeves, if you desire to acquire what you want you must learn to dominate it".

He then released me and walked to his chair and I fell to the ground.
