(IN THE NIGHT) 
Eric was sitting in his office checking his watch
"Damn!!!  It's 7pm already "  He said as he sighed then his phone started ringing. 
It was Roxanne
"Why is she calling me now??  He muttered to himself as he picked it
"Hello Rox" He answered groggily 
"Eric Eric... " She yelled on the phone making Eric cringed 
"What is it?? 
"Anna is getting married " She said and Eric eyes widened in shock
"What!!!  He exclaimed 
"Yes, she told almost everyone in the community that Anna is getting married..Her mom " 
"To who??  Eric asked not wanting to think it is CJ 
"To a Siamese guy... " 
"Okay, I will call you later " Eric said and hang up, he placed his hand on his 
"What is going on??  He thought then someone entered, it was Manager Don private secretary 
"Hey Eric ."

"Sorry, can't talk now, got to go."
" You  need to ..." Eric cuts her off with a look and heads for the
elevator

CJ's mom was sleeping comfortably in her bed when the phone on her bedside table started to ring…and ring…and ring…
She let out a groan as her hand looked for the phone, her face never leaving his pillow. She grabbed it and pulled it to her ear.
"Hello…" She muttered out groggily.
"Hello Dr Lee here!" The speaker on the other line said 
"Yes?? " She answered sounding like a deadbeat.
"Actually your son got into an accident and...... 
She jolted up and was beyond shocked 
"What are you talking about?? She asked 
"You should come over to the National Hospital as soon as possible and everything will be explained when you get here " The doctor said and CJ's mom could feel her heart beating fast 
No no.. Not my son... 
                              Eve's POV
For what felt like the hundredth time, I reached behind and yanked the dress zipper down, sliding the silky material off and onto the floor with the rest of the rejects. 
I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose for a second 
. "Should I go more casual, or would a little fancier?"I thought 
I groaned, staring at the collection of dresses and outfits that was circling me
"Eve!! "my brother called but I didn't answer, instead walking over to my closet, again, and going through everything on the hangers, quietly finding reasons to reject each of them.
"Too casual, too formal, too out of style, too… ugh what was I
even thinking when I bought this?"
The sound of light footsteps filled my room as my brother  walked to the doorway, watching as me struggled.
 "Are you going on a date, if not then just wear something that you like wearing. " My brother said and I shot him a glance 
"Easy for you to say," I muttered, sighing again. "
He is right, not that I am going on a date with Eric... I am just taking him out for dinner even though he has finally agree to pay and has booked a reservation for the both of us in bora restaurant. 
"I think I'll just wear the red one," I said  plucking it off the floor and dusting it off. It was a floor length gown made of a shimmery material that hugged my body nicely, a long slit going down the right side and low-cut just enough that I could both look good and feel safe that I wasn't revealing too much.
I make a signal to my brother making him to spun around (I never dress in front of my brother)  Stepping into it, I quickly pull it up before zipping it up. 
"What do you think?" I said and my brother turned to look at me
He just rolled his eyes. "When are you going ?"
"About an hour," I said, checking the time on my cell phone.
 "Just enough time for a make-up touch-up and to fix my hair." I said and my brother walked away 
 Humming to myself now, I sat down at my vanity and began to subtly apply my make-up. I didn't want to make it look too obvious, just enough to highlight my naturally good looks 
I stopped what I was doing and looked at myself in the mirror 
Why am I doing this?? 
I'm  I truly in love with Eric?? 
                                Eric's POV
I was on my way to the house thinking about what Rox told me.. 
I picked my phone and wanted to call Anna but I stopped 
Why should I call her?? 
I dropped my phone and continue driving when suddenly a car drove pass mine and crossed me making me halt the car 
"What the!!!! 
 
                                     Author's POV
Eve made her way down the street and took a cab.. 
--------
-------
Nearing the restaurant, Eve cleared her throat once, smoothing down the front of her dress before walking in.
"Hello madam," the host said, a slight accent on his words.
"Did you have a reservation?" 
"Um, yes, I believe so," she said, thankful she went for a more
formal look. " The host nodded, quickly leafing through his book for a second while she looked around. No sign of him.
 
"We have your reservation, yes, but he has not arrived. Would
you like to take your table now while you wait?"
Eve nodded, feeling a pit in her stomach. She and Eric had made it such a point to tell her 8 o'clock sharp, and now he was late?
The host nodded, pulling two menus from a side pocket and
gesturing for her to follow him to a small two-person table.
"I'll have the waiter bring out some water for you while you
wait," he said, smiling as she thanked him.
Fifteen minutes passed before she finally decided to try calling
him. He had given her his number after they agreed on the time and place, but she hadn't called or even texted him yet, not sure of what she was supposed to say to him
 Digging through the clutch, Eve realized with a bit of embarrassment that she hadn't remembered to put her phone in before leaving. "Great," she muttered to herself, snapping it closed and placing it roughly on the table.
Another ten minutes passed the waiter came
"Miss?" someone said, appearing beside her. "Are you still
waiting?"
Her cheeks flushed a little. "Yes," she said, thankful that her
voice didn't sound as shaky as she felt. "I'm sure he just got
the time wrong."
 The waiter nodded, promising to bring another water to replace the one she had sucked down.
Another twenty minutes passed before the waiter came by
again, glancing at the empty seat opposite of her. "Miss," he
started to say, but Eve quietly cut him off, promising that he would show up. 
He nodded again, clearing his throat before leaving. 
By the time 9 o'clock rolled around, Eve had all but lost her
appetite. Her cheeks seemed to be in a permanent blush with
shame and embarrassment.
 The waiter had come back four more times, and each time she told him the same thing, her resolve faltering more and more the longer she waited. When he appeared a fifth time, she finally sighed, forced to accept the truth. 
"Miss, the man in the back has offered you a complimentary meal for your troubles, if you'd be interested," he said as she finally told him she was done waiting.
"Ah, thank you, but –" She looked back to see who the man and was shocked to see nobody but Manager Don 
                                 Suzy's POV
It has been more than 3 hours that we've been in the hospital, my mom keep pacing to and fro, my dad just sat down looking dismay while my step mom keep staring at me. 
I definitely know she's up to something and I must find out what she's up to and why she want the downfall of my brother 
I know she must have been shocked to see me alive. 
Perhaps was she responsible for the fire outbreak?? 
Some of CJ partners in music industry also came after hearing the news, I continuously earn stares from them all
Kayla hasn't hear the news and I have no idea where Annaa is. 
Where is she??  Was she responsible for this?? 
According to what the doctor said, CJ was rushed here seven hours ago... What if this is all my fault.. 
                                 Kayla's POV 
I went to my dad's house and ignore all the maids and guards greetings. 
I know it is late but I don't care... 
CJ refused to come home and everywhere was boring.. 
.. 
When I got inside, I was told that he was in the library, I went upstairs and straightaway to the library 
I was about to enter when I heard my dad's voice coming from the library, I think he is on phone call
"I want my daughter back now" He said and I was surprised 
What is he talking about?? 
"I am tired of taking care of kayla, it's time  you have your daughter back, I need to show my my love and care to my daughter and not your daughter.. The deal is over, you can have your daughter now, I am tired of pretending to be his dad, I think it's right time the two girls know the truth " he said and I gasped and started shivering 
My eyes widened as I stood there shock while my heart continue to beat fast
He is not my father?? 
                                     Author's POV 
The doctor finally came out and went over to them
"How is he doc?? 
"He is okay now but there's a little problem "
"What problem??  CJ mom asked 
----
---
                                Anna's POV 
I was together with CJ in the ward and he was smiling at me, a bandage was wrapped on his head
"C'mon stop smiling, don't you know how to act...??  You should act as if you're in pain??  I scolded him as I stood up and went to the door and peeped outside 
I could see the doctor talking to the CJ family and I could see the shock on their face 
I went to CJ and let out a sigh 
"Do you think the plan is going to work??  I asked looking worried 
"Trust me, it's going to work.. The doctor is with us and I believe they're going to believe it "
"But will you be able to deny the fact of knowing your family??  I asked and he held my hand 
"Since they don't want my happiness, I am willing to do anything " He said 
I lean close to him on the bed and kissed him, just then the door creaked​ and I quickly pull away and CJ face quickly become expressionless 
The doctor entered together with CJ mom, dad, step mom, Suzy 
Immediately Suzy sighted me, she walked to me and slapped me hard on my cheeks
"Its your fault " She yelled 
I wanted to react but decided to hold it in 
"Who are these people doc??  CJ muttered  and his mom quickly sat next to him 
"Ohhh my son, it's me your mom.. Pls don't do this " She said as tears rolled down her cheeks and held CJ hand but CJ pulled away 
"Who.. Who are you??  CJ said again 
"Ma'am, pls you should try not to force him to remember things because it may affect his brain and it may lead to.... you know " The doctor said 
"So he doesn't have any memory of us??  CJ dad asked 
Suzy suddenly held my hand and pulled me towards CJ 
"What about her??  Do you know who she is?? She asked 
According to the plan, CJ must also deny the fact that he knows me or else they won't believe us 
"Who.. Who is she and who are you??  CJ asked and Suzy released my hand and she was startled 
"CJ has indeed lose his memory " She whispered
