I Thought It's Love

Don't t touch me, who are you! have you come to drain my emotions and leave me empty?”. I shouted at Jade, while I was in a pool of blood, and in unconscious state, after an accident.He squinted in pity and, with a blazing emotions, he never left me. I had a promotional interview and I was already late feeling anxious and pressured. The driver, trying to accommodate my urgency, sped up to meet up in time. Our car collided with a reckless upcoming vehicle, and tumbled into a deep valley. The impact was severe, leaving me (Lia), injured and unconscious.Billionaire Jade Iris was on convoy with his men and very nearby. He witnessed the scene and came for our rescue. He rushed us to a nearby hospital, where Jade paid for my medical treatment. I was revived but suffered from amnesia and unable to recall my past. His actions were driven by a mix of compassion and curiosity. As he cared for me, he grew attached to me and eventually fell in love with me.As I gradually recovered, I became solely dependent on Jade, which created a bond between us. My health condition allowed Jade to shape my reality and I began to see him as my saviour and confidant.He made me fall deeply in love with him and we shared tender moments, with Jade showering me with affection and care. He would hold my hands, look into my eyes and whisper sweet nothings.I, despite my amnesia condition, felt a deep connection with Jade. I trusted him completely and felt safe in his presence. As we spent more time together, I developed strong feelings for him.Jade was completely devoted to me, taking care of my every need he would surprise me with small gestures, like bringing my favourite flowers and bringing my favourite meals.I spent two months in the hospital and became healed, but had memory loss, and was unable to remember my past. Jade was the only strong pillar I could lean on.My parents Mr and Mrs Allison Ofelia never gave up on me. They gave me every care they could as I was their only surviving daughter among five children that they had.My parents were not very rich, but they could provide some of my immediate needs.They were very worried and felt unsafe about my relationship with Jade because of the status difference. They were initially hesitant about my relationship with Jade due to his wealth and social status. They worried more about our potential differences in our lifestyle and values. We kept it secret, but as the feeling grew, it transent to an open relationship and Jade asked me to be his contract wife because of his position in his family. “Lia, I am left with no words to tell you how much I feel about you.But I confess truly, my Lia, that I can't imagine a world without you, could you be my contract wife? He said with a spelt out emotion.“Why do you prefer a contract marriage to a legitimate marriage with me? I asked him keenly.“ I once had a lover who disappeared without notice, for many years now, and there are preferences I wouldn't want to lose in my family, that’s the most reason I want to commence on a new love track with you” Jade expressed.I agreed, because I loved him immensely, and we moved on. Jade's family, on the other hand, never accepted our relationship because of the social difference and my health condition, and kept advising Jade to wait for his missing girlfriend, whom he had not seen for many years.Both families had mixed feelings about the potential challenges that came with the differences.Jade's family opposed our relationship due to my perceived lower status. They saw me as unsuitable for Jade, citing great concern about my background, education, and family connection.Despite Jade's family disapproval and neglect of me, he navigated his love for me against his family's expectation.As the pressure of rejection and comparison mounted on me, I felt insecure and unworthy of Jade and kept wondering if the relationship could overcome the obstacles.At every such odd feeling, Jade never left me, he provided me with his arms for comfort and made me feel loved. His love and acceptance made me feel whole, and I couldn't imagine a life without him.As our love continued to grow, I sensed that Jade was planning something special. Little did I know, his proposal would be a moment I will never forget.Eight months into the relationship, on a Friday morning, his call was a wake up alarm to me, he invited me to a restaurant, very close to the presidential villa of the town.It was his perfect move for a mind blowing proposal. After a brief get-together at the restaurant, he took me to a beautiful garden, filled with roses and soft music. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over everything.Jade got down on one knee, pulled out a small box, and opened it, revealing a stunning diamond ring. His eyes locked into mine , filled with love and adoration.“Lia, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special. You light up my world, and I couldn't imagine a life without you.“Will you marry me?”I was overwhelmed with emotions, tears streaming down my face. I nodded eagerly, and Jade sling the ring into my finger. It fits perfectly, symbolizing our perfect love.He pulled me into a passionate kiss, sealing our engagement. The world around us melted away, leaving only the two of us lost in our love. As we hugged and celebrated, I felt like I was on cloud nine. But little did I know, our happiness was about to be put to the test.Just as we were basking in the joy of our engagement, Leticia appeared, her eyes fixed on Jade with a mix of surprise and longing. Her gaze was intense, nostalgic and longing. It was as if she was seeing a part of Jade that she thought she'd lost forever. Jade's eye met Leticia, and for a moment, he was transported back to their past. He felt a spark of attraction, a sense of familiarity, and comfort. His eyes lingered on hers, and he seemed torn between our engagement and the rekindled feelings for Leticia.The air was charged with an unspoken connection between Jade and Leticia. It was as if they shared a secret, a history that only they understood. I, sensing the tension felt like an outsider unsure of what was happening.My eyes narrowed, my mind racing with questions. “What was happening between Jade and Leticia? Did Jade still have feelings for her”?When Jade noticed my observation, he returned his gaze to me and pretended to feel among.After the engagement celebration, Jade received a text from Leticia, asking to meet. He hesitated, feeling a mix of emotions. Despite his reservations, he agreed to meet her at a café, at the outskirts of town.As Jade arrived at the café, Leticia was already seated, sipping a cup of coffee. She looked up, and their eyes met, filled with a complex array of emotions. Jade sat down across from her, unsure of what to expect.
