LOVE IN LIMBO

CHAPTER TWO - MEMORYLESS BEGGER

CASPIAN'S POV

This has to be the biggest joke of the century because I have no inkling what this woman is talking about, this has to be some type of a joke or maybe a prank. I looked around for cameras or something but there is none of that... First of all I am not Mason and I definitely don't have a fiancee, I am too busy to even have a girlfriend, so what the f**k is she talking about.

" Look ma'am, you have to stop your accusations because it's not funny and we can actually sue you for deformation of character. This man here is not Mason, his name is Caspian and he is my best friend, so I know him very well and I know he has no girlfriend, let alone a fiancee. If someone paid you to do this, I will suggest you stop now before we take it up legally." Charles defended but the woman is adamant because she doesn't look remorseful in the slightest.

" Young Man you don't know what you are talking about, this man here is Mason and he is my daughter's fiance. They have been together for four years now and because of him, my daughter is suffering from depression." She said pointedly with so much pain in her eyes but I am confident that she's wrong about me.

" This has gone too far and it's no longer funny, I am not Mason and I don't know your daughter, stop wasting so much time with me and go and look for the real culprit." I said sternly because at this point, people are already making a video of us and that's the last thing I want.

" Okay, I see you want to insist on that lie. You are Mason and the fact that you moved to another city, became a billionaire and changed your name won't change anything. Please insist one more time that this isn't you." The woman said while crying as she held up her phone to me.

To my greatest surprise, on her phone is a picture of me and a beautiful young lady, I don't know the lady and I certainly can't remember taking that picture but I am more curious now more than ever to know what the actual f**k is happening because I am confused as f**k.

" I don't know what's happening here ma'am, yes the person in the picture looks like me but I can't remember taking this picture or even this lady but I am curious to know what's happening, although this is obviously not the right place but I am going for lunch, if you are willing to follow us then I am willing to hear you out." I offered because everything feels crazy right now and if there is something important that I need to know, then I can't pass on that.

The woman is obviously upset, so she didn't say anything else and she and the guy she came with just followed us into the car and I drove to the restaurant where we usually have lunch, it has a private VIP setting and I think the place will be appropriate for the type of conversation we are about to have.

As soon as we got to the restaurant, the waiter led us to the VIP room and we got comfortable, we all ordered for something but the truth is I already lost my appetite.

" Alright can you please calmly explain to me what's happening here because I can't remember you." I said truthfully as soon as the waiter served our food, drinks and left.

" Are you really saying you don't know us?" The guy asked for the first time since I saw him but the truth is I don't know you.

" Am I supposed to know you people?" I asked curiously while mindlessly playing with my food.

" Yes you are but I will just pretend like you actually don't know us for a minute and explain to you what's happening. This is my mom Sofia and I am Rowan, we are Lyra's family. Your fiancee is my younger sister, like my mom said you guys dated for four years before you suddenly travel to New York to pitch an idea to a company and didn't return... Your name is Mason Fabian and apart from the fact that you are dating my sister, you are also my best friend. We have been looking for you everywhere and my sister is suffering from depression because of you and we only found out that you are okay and you are here days ago when we saw you on a Forbes magazine... How can you do this to us Mason?" Rowan explained and asked with so much pain and as much as I sympathize with them, I have no memory of everything he just said.

" How long ago did he disappear?" Charles asked beating me to it.

" About a year ago?" Rowan replied and I am beginning to think that maybe they actually know me.

" Caspian that was around the same time I found you, they might be right about you having a fiancee." Charles pointed out.

" What do you mean by you found him about a year ago?" Sofia asked curiously even though she hasn't spoken since we got to the restaurant.

" About a year ago, I found myself walking around the city aimlessly and broke and I had no memory of who I am but while I was begging on the street for food and money, I met Charles and he decided to help me, I couldn't remember anything other than business ideas and Charles invested in me and my life changed from that day because before I met him, I was alone and I had nothing, although I found this on me. It was the only valuable thing I found on me, does it mean anything?" I asked as I undid my necktie and a few buttons on my shirt to show them my necklace.
