Rome, Italy
This morning Rose was waiting for her father to have breakfast together. After last night his father received a guest outside his curfew, he was still thinking about Black and Eryn who were far away.
"Good morning, baby. Why daydream?" greet Juan.
"Dad! I thought you forgot to have breakfast with me."
"Of course not. I asked you to come here why it was me who denied it. Let's eat!" Juan would take food, but Rose quickly picked it up for him.
"This is for dad! Dad was often sick. So, I just have to eat nutritious." Rose smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, baby. What about your work? I heard yesterday there was fashion week."
"Yes, dad. I followed. I know some famous designers. And I brought some of their clothes to Dad."
"Oh yeah? You're so nice, baby."
Rose gave her best smile to Juan.
"Oh yeah, dad. Last night ... Who came to see Dad?" ask Rose carefully.
"Ah that? It's nobody. Just dad's business colleague."
"Nobody usually visits that late. And I accepted it." Rose was not suspicious.
"Well, he arrived in Rome at night. So, he's finally coming at a late time."
Rose understood. "Dad should take care of the health of the father. Next time just tell the guests to come home and come back tomorrow."
"Yes, honey. I won't repeat it." Juan smiled in front of Rose.
Breakfast was back. Rose ate her food with occasional glances towards her father.
"Something's wrong here" said Rose.
Juan finished his breakfast and said goodbye to Rose.
"Darling, I have to go. There's important business I need to finish."
"Dad!" protest Rose. "Then why did you ask me to come if you're just busy with your job?"
"I'm sorry, baby. Tomorrow I will make time for us. Okay?" Juan kissed Rose's head and then left.
Rose could only nod her head. It is also impossible for him to stop the activities of his father who is a mafia boss.
Juan's departure opens up an opportunity for Rose to check out her father's workspace. Rose immediately finished her breakfast and rushed to her father's study.
Rose checked Juan's desk and some files there. Not to forget he also contacted Carlos because he had to ask for help from the man.
"Hello..."
"Hello, Carlos. You finally picked up my phone too!"
"What's up, Rose? You sound panicked."
"Carlos, you have to help El."
"What's up? She's on her honeymoon with Miss Eryn."
"I know that. But there's something weird here."
"What's so weird?"
"Eric is here, Carlos."
"What?! That's impossible!"
"I also know it's impossible. But this is the truth. The man is in Italy. And he's meeting my father."
"What's? You don't joke, Rose."
"I'm not kidding or lying! At the moment, I feel like something is wrong. You have to save El and Eryn."
"Alright, Rose. Then I hang up the phone."
"Yes, watch out Carlos."
Call ended. Rose returned to look for something that could be used as evidence. Suddenly his eyes fell on a tightly closed map. Rose had never seen that before.
"What is this?!" Rose opened the map sheet by sheet.
Rose closed her mouth in disbelief at what she read.
"No way! Daddy?" Rose nodded slowly. His chest rumbled.
After getting what she needed, Rose came out of her father's office.
...πΏπΏπΏ...
"Eric...?"
Eryn stared intently at the person in front of him. Although bounded by the ship's barrier, Eryn could still clearly see who the person across there was.
Eric pointed his gun at Eryn. He did not expect that Eryn would catch him at this moment. It's too late to avoid. Her thought.
Eric pulled the trigger with no doubt in it. His heart was already covered in grudge and anger over Black and Eryn.
"NO! Ery!" Black shouted and rose from his pain. He pushed Eryn's body with all his might.
DOR'S!
The sound of gunfire reverberated. Black's body was hit by a bullet from Eric's gun.
THE DUAK!
Eryn was thrown and his head hit the iron of the ship. The woman was finally unconscious.
Black's body, which had been hit by several shots, finally fell and fell into the sea.
BYUR!
Black began to lose consciousness. He drank a lot of sea water. He could not balance his body to stay conscious.
"Eryn..."
Only one name he always muttered before his consciousness completely disappeared.
Meanwhile, Eric asks his men to dock with Black's ship. Eric jumps up and searches for the whereabouts of the wounded Eryn.
Eric finds Eryn's unconscious body.
"Eryn! Awake up!" Eric pats Eryn on the cheek. Blood poured out of Eryn's temple.
"Quickly we're back on land!" eric shouted with Eryn's body.
"Good, Sir."
...πΏπΏπΏ...
Arriving at a hospital, Eric runs around asking the doctor to deal with Eryn immediately.
"Right save him, doctor!" exclaim Eric.
"Calm down, sir. We will do our best for him" replied the doctor.
Eric sat in the waiting room. He rubbed his face rough.
"Eryn saw my face! He's seen my face!" eric muttered many times.
A man approached Eric.
"Master!" call him.
Eric, who was down, raised his face.
"What's up, Enrique?" ask Eric.
"It looks like Black is dead, sir," Enrique reported.
"really? You've made sure of it yourself?"
"Already, Sir. We even shot him after he fell into the sea."
"Good! You can come back. We'll take over Black's entire asset soon."
"Good, Sir."
Enrique saluted then passed from before Eric. Eric took a breath. A smile spread across his face.
"Finally.." he said happily.
"Looks like you're so happy, young man." An old man's voice made Eric look up again.
"Uncle Juan?"
"I didn't think you'd kill him a second time just because of a girl."
Some nurses took Eryn's gurney to the treatment room. Eric just watched. And follow him from behind. Juan also followed Eric.
Arriving in a VIP room, the nurses say goodbye. Eric was sitting next to Eryn's gurney. He noticed the girl's pale face.
"Did he see your real face, Eric?" ask Juan.
Eric remained silent.
"Because you're silent I think he's seen it."
A doctor came and examined Eryn's condition.
"How's doctor?" ask Eric.
"The bump on his head was very loud. It's possible that the collision will cause him to lose his memory" the doctor explained.
"Do you mean, she's lost her memory?" There was a little relief in Eric's heart.
"We haven't confirmed until the patient is fully regained consciousness."
Eric rubbed his face.
"Well, you're lucky, young man. If he really loses his memory, then you're safe" Juan said.
Eric looked at Eryn who was still closed.
"Hopefully, Uncle. Then we can continue with the next plan."
"As far as you are. I'll support you, son. Then I should leave immediately. I don't want my daughter to wait too long." Juan patted Eric's shoulder slowly and then passed.
...πΏπΏπΏ...
One week later,
Eryn's condition is starting to improve. He was conscious of his coma. As predicted by the doctor. Eryn lost his memory. He doesn't even remember his name and identity.
The doctor examined Eryn's physical condition, which began to recover.
"Patients experience temporary memory loss. If we give him stimuli or things that remind him of his past, he might recall his past" the doctor explained.
"Doctor just relax. I'll do my best for Eryn" replied Eric.
"I'll excuse you then" said the doctor.
Eric looked at the dreamy Eryn.
"No, Eryn! I won't let you remember your past. I've been at this point and I won't let go of you anymore" Eric's inner rage.
"Eryn!" call Eric.
"So, my name is Eryn?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then, who are you?"
"I'm Eric. I'm your friend."
"Friends?" Eryn scrunched his forehead. "Is that a friend?"
"Friends are people close to us. Youunderstand?"
Eryn nodded.
"You still have to rest here for a while. After that, we'll get out of the hospital and go back home."
"Home? I have a house?"
"Yes. Of course you have a house." Eric shuffled Eryn's hair. A happiness that he would hide Eryn from the outside world was already reflected in his brain.
"The old Harryn is dead. Now there's just a new Eryn, "the inner Eric's flowering.
...πΏπΏπΏ...
Kim Hyun Jeong waited anxiously.Β He had already ordered his men to search for the whereabouts of his daughter and granddaughter.
"Hows it? Have you found any traces of my daughter?" ask Kim Hyun Jeong.
"No, Mister. But we're starting to find a bright spot about your granddaughter. "
"How come? What the hell is going on?"
"The boy was separated from his family, sir. Now someone's taking care of him in a Mexican village."
"Where is her mother?"
"That's what I don't know, sir. There seems to be a great power hiding your daughter, Master. "
"Great power?" Mr. Kim rubbed his chin.
"So, my daughter was hidden by someone?"
"Master, your daughter's life story is full of twists and turns." Mr. Kim's men lowered their heads at the sight of sadness and anger on his master's face.
"I'm sorry, son. You have to go through a lot because I'm not with you." Kim rubbed a picture of a young woman along with a child.
"Then get everything ready! We're going to pick up my granddaughter in Mexico" Mr. Kim said.
"Good, Sir."
The person slightly bowed then walked out of Mr. Kim's room.
...πΏπΏπΏ...
"The number you are going to is inactive or outside the service area. Try a few more moments."
Lolita slammed her phone because since contacting her husband always answering machines.
"What exactly did he do? So annoying!" his gerrick.
Lolita resumes living with Eric's family because she is afraid something will happen to her and her baby. Plus, Eleanor is very excited about this pregnancy. Be the favorite daughter-in-law in this house.
"Alright, Eric. If I can't get your attention, then I'll just take your mother-in-law's attention. I'm sure if he defends me, he will definitely make you pay attention to me!"
Lolita came out of her room and met Eleanor and Erica who were relaxing in the living room.
"Morning, Mother, Aunt Erica," said Lolita kindly.
"Morning. Come, Son. Don't move much. Don't let my granddaughter do anything." Eleanor stroked Lolita's stomach, which began to look distended.
"So much too much! Shouldn't pregnant women move around a lot?" erica Sahut.
"That's true, but if it has entered the period will give birth. While Lolita, the content is still weak. She had to rest a lot and eat nutritious food so she could give birth to a healthy heir."
"What gender is it already visible?" ask Erica.
"No, Auntie. It might be seen soon," replied Lolita enthusiastically. Luckily, he found love in this house. It was very different when Eryn became the daughter-in-law of this house.
"Have you contacted Eric?" ask Eleanor.
Lolita. "His phone is always inactive." Lolita's face turned sad.
"Geez! The boy is a habit. Then let me talk to him later."
"Yes, Mom. Thank you." Thank you."
Eleanor left the living room and took her cell phone. He wants to call Eric.
But it turns out the same thing happened.Β Eric didn't turn off his phone. Of course at this time he did not want to be bothered by anyone including Eleanor.

Rio de Jeneiro, Brazil
Eric arrives at a fairly spacious house along with Eryn. This is where they'll stay. Eric's gonna hide Eryn in this place so no one can track him.
Eryn looked around the place.
"Hows it? You like this place?" ask Eric.
Eryn nodded. "Good place. Is this your house?"
"No, this is your house."
"Oh so. I didn't think I had a big house. I don't remember at all."
"yeah. You will remember it little by little. Didn't the doctor say that?"
Eryn nodded. "Eric, do I have a family?"
"Eh?"
"Didn't everyone have a family? How's me?"
"You have a family, Eryn. I am one of your family. And there's someone. He's gonna stay here with you" Eric lied.
A man dragged a middle-aged woman into the house.
"Well, there it is. She is Matilda. He's the one who's going to be with you here" Eric explained.
Yes, Eric deliberately brought Matilda because he wanted to make sure Eryn's condition was always okay. And the one who loved Eryn like a mother was Matilda.
"Miss Eryn.." murmured Matilda.
"Eryn, you must be tired. You just rest first. If you need anything, you can call Matilda."
Eric invites Eryn to rest in his room. A fairly large room. Some of Eryn's photos hang on the wall, including a photo of her being with Eric. Yeah, Eric purposely prepared everything to keep Eryn unsuspecting.
Eric leaves Eryn and returns to meet Matilda.
"So, you kidnapped me from your own house?" ask Matilda. The middle-aged woman was forcefully taken without a single person knowing. And Eleanor? He wouldn't care if he lost a servant in his house.
"No! I didn't kidnap you. I brought you here to accompany Eryn here."
"What happened to Miss Eryn? Why doesn't he recognize me?"
"Hmmm, he has amnesia" Eric explained by rubbing his chin.
"What?! What did you do to him?" angry Matilda.
"I didn't do anything to him. It was precisely his lover who had pushed Eryn until he was knocked and forgot his memory."
"Then why did you bring him here? What is this place?"
"Listen, Auntie. Don't you dare say anything to Eryn about his past. Your job here is to look after him and make sure all his needs are met. I'll visit him occasionally to meet him here. Remember that! Do not complain and report to anyone. Because I can figure it out. And you know what the payoff is for a traitor?"
Matilda shook her head in fear.
"Dead! You'll get the death penalty if you dare to fight me! Understood?" eric's firm right in Matilda's ear.
...πΏπΏπΏ...
*Hmm, then where is Eldric? Is he safe? We'll see on the next chapter.
