Chapter 44
Harley groans tiredly as she toss on the bed. Her naked body is covered with the thick and beautiful duvet, her hair is scattered over the pillow and she look so tired. The early morning beautiful sunlight penetrate the room, making her skin glow beautifully. Seconds slowly ticks, before she finally force her eyes open, as another groan tear through her mouth.
Sitting up on the bed, she look around the room to find herself alone in the room. Jayden had gone out, or probably in the bathroom, having his bath. Thinking about the previous night and all the crazy things she did with him, a smile lace up her lips as she blush hard.
Holding the duvet to her chest, she swing her legs down the bed and get on her feet before dragging her feet into the bathroom. Her bath water is already prepared, maybe by the maid or by Jay himself. The duvet fall freely on the floor, leaving her stark naked. Her gracious and curvy body looks appetizing. Parking her hair up, she step into the jacuzzi and soak herself in the warm soapy water. After a long night of sweet sex, this is exactly the kind of bath she really needs.
For the next twenty minutes, she remain in the water until it becomes cold. Too many thoughts wanted to crowd her mind again, but she push all of it at the back of her mind. It’s too early for that. She finally get off the jacuzzi and get under the shower. The water run down her body and calming her tensed muscles.
She finally walk back into the room a few minutes later with a towel wrap around her chest and another one is wrapped around her head. Her body is dripping wet, making her so hot. Glancing at the wall clock, she conclude that Jay must’ve gone to work already and maybe didn’t bothered to wake her up so to not disturb her sleep.
She exhale softly, upon seeing her dress littering the floor. Jay must’ve thrown them across the room while they were having crazy time yesterday. There’s no way she’ll wear those dirty clothes again. She shake her head after glancing at his dresser, which has little or no cosmetics. Jay is not a big fan of make up, unlike some guys. Yeah, he’s good looking enough and doesn’t need makeup. At least, that’s how he feels.
Dragging her feet to his closet, she hesitate for a few seconds before she finally open it and her mouth drop open in shock at the sight that welcomes her. The closet is filled with so many expensive and beautiful clothes. If anyone is seeing this for the first time, they would think that it’s a boutique or something. She run her eyes through the oversized shirts, unsure of the one to pick. Not that she’s going anywhere, she just needs something to wear to her room, so she can change into her clothes. Looking at the clothes, she concludes that they’re too beautiful to be worn casually.
She close the closet and turn to go pick her clothes, maybe if she can manage them like that, but stop abruptly as something catches her attention. It’s a white envelope lying on the floor. It looks like the envelope had fallen from the closet when she opened it.
Picking up the envelope, she slid it into the closet, but she suddenly pause and bring it back again as something catches her attention. There’s a picture inside the white envelope. A smile lace up her lips as she stares at it, wondering who could be the one inside the picture.
Curiosity spur through her, and she quickly brings the picture from the envelope, but she freeze on the spot at the sight that welcomes her. It’s a family picture, and not just that, but the people in the pictures look so familiar to her. Taking a close look at the picture, her face drops. It’s her family picture. Her mom, dad, sister and her old self are all in the picture.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Her mouth trembles as she stares at the picture in shock. She glance up at the closet which is slightly ajar, curiosity consuming her. She gulp down the lump in her throat, returning her gaze to the picture again.
“What’s this doing here?” She asks no one in particular, wondering how the picture ended up in Jay’s closet.
She suddenly drops the picture and envelope on the bed, and throw the closet open. She have no idea what she’s looking for, but she keep throwing out his clothes one after the other and making sure to check their pockets. She keep wondering what she’s looking for, as she search the pockets like a crazy woman, but she can’t come up with an answer.
After throwing out all the clothes, an empty closet welcomes her and she sigh deeply. Turns out that she was wasting her time all along. Taking her time, she arrange the clothes back into the closet and put the picture back before returning to her room.
All through the day, the image of the picture keep popping up in her head and her heart clench in pain. She has so many questions to ask, but she is not sure whether it’ll be a good idea to ask Jay, or maybe figure things out by herself. Although she has lost some parts of her memory, but she would’ve at least recall his face if they had met in the past before the incident, right? It’s evening already, and she still hasn’t been able to get the thoughts off her head.
Pushing all the thoughts at the back of her mind and trying to figure out what to do, she walk out of her room and head straight to the garden where she usually visits whenever she’s stressed and wants to clear her head.
The gentle and soothing air welcomes her into the garden as she close her eyes, enjoying every bit of it. Suddenly, a white handkerchief muffles her nose from behind and she slumps…
