White Lion’s POV
Sophia succeeded in calming me down a bit, but it didn’t stop me from pacing the whole time. I could barely breathe or talk until the doctor finally came back.
He looked so exhausted.
I quickly rushed to him. “How is she?” I asked, sounding so frantic. I was doing a bad job at hiding my feelings for her. Luckily I had asked all my men to wait downstairs for me in the lobby.
It was as if I knew that I was going to give away my feelings for her so easily.
“Good. She just sustained Minor injuries to her head and arms but she is good apart from that.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Thank God.” I exhaled, feeling relieved. “Can I see her now.”
“There is a bit of problem though.” Doctor Ero added almost Immediately. He sounded so unsure and it scared the shit out of me.
“What is it!” I said, my voice coming out weigh harsher than I wanted it.
“Although she has regained consciousness, due to some concussions she has developed a strange type of selective amnesia. She only remembers herself getting on a bus heading to port-harcout. She doesn’t remember you or why she is here.”
I ran my hands through my hair and stared at the doctor not knowing what to think or say. “So she doesn’t remember me?” I asked, wanting to make sure that I heard correctly.
“Yes. So if you want to get her back to her family then I suggest we take her to the normal ward and call her mum to come see her. She has given me her mums number so I would call her, but that’s if you approve of it. Do you want to take her back?”
“No. Call her mum.”
Ero looked at me and smiled. “You are doing the right thing Lion. Your dad will be proud.”
I faked a smile and nodded.
Right now the only thing I could think of was Mira.
“And lest I forget. Your love for her is written all over you. Don’t worry in a few weeks she would remember you” He chuckled as he walked away.
I immediately called Sophia. She picked on the first ring.
“Are you falling for me too?” She laughed and I rolled my eyes. I was not in the mood for her jokes at all.
I leaned against the wall, pressing my hand on my eyes to stop a migraine from setting in. “Sophia she doesn’t remember me.”
“What do you mean she doesn’t remember you?”
“She has had some kind of selective amnesia. I don’t even know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.” I hissed.
“Are you serious? Splendid! Perfect!” Sophia exclaimed. “This is a good thing. At least she won’t remember all the horrible things you did before her.”
“Jokes on you because in a few weeks she would start to remember.”
“Then its simple. Get to work and make her fall head over heels for you before she remembers that you once kidnapped her and you had better let the other girls go.”
“Already did that although my men weren’t pleased.” I imagined Sophia rolling her eyes.
“Good. Now make her see the side of you that came to my house this morning.” Sophia laughed and for reasons not known to me, I felt a bit at ease.
If ever she recognizes me as the same white Lion who killed her friends I wanted it to be after she had fallen in love with the man who would be her angel. Her love would be for an angel not for the devil.
