She was bored, so standing up she toured the house.
She walked around the gardens, the gym house, the swimming pool. As she walked towards the pool, she rembered being there.
This ti the mory was clear.
She was drowning, and Nicklaus had saved her, but sothing was not right. She didn't like him. In fact, she hated him with passion.
Tiana frowned. Why did she hate him so much? She tried to think, and then she rembered sothing else, a dark room.
There was a darkroom in the house. She rembered being dragged into it.
Wait…
Tiana's heartbeat so fast that she almost had a heart attack. Turning around, she ran back into the house,
and to the basent.
As she approached, the mories beca clearer. Everything was coming back to her slowly.
Earlier, she had rembered her father owed soone, that soone was Nicklaus.
Tiana turned the door handle, but the door was locked.
She hurriedly ran out, and luckily, she saw Dan.
''I need you to help with sothing,'' she said;
''What do you need? ''
''The key to the basent. '' Dan's face fell the instant he heard her. His lips moved, but he could not say a word.
''There's no need to hide anything, I already rember, so are you giving the key or not? ''
It didn't seem like he had a choice, so he went in and got the key for her. As soon as she left with it, he called Nicklaus.
''Boss, the miss asked for the key to the basent. I'm afraid she rembers.''
Nicklaus could not reply, after minutes he ended the call. He knew she would rember soday, but his prayer was that she wouldn't rember just the pain that he caused her. He prayed she would also rember the happiness.
Nicklaus' head fell, as he didn't know what to do. He wanted to tell her everything, but he couldn't bring himself to. They were already happy, and he wanted nothing to spoil it. What was he going to do now?
…
Tiana walked into the room, and surprise t her eyes. Instead of an empty room as it was in her mories, the room was like a living room. Beautifully furnished.
She stood by the door for a second, then she walked into the room. Her eyes looked around closely, but there were no signs of what was in her mories.
Tiana walked to the end of the wall, and she rembered curling up at this end because she was afraid that there was sothing else in the room with her.
She rembered everything. Everything, like a rushing wind. Her mories ca back.
She had taken the place of her sister and was tortured so her sister could be free. Nicklaus was not always like this, he was once a dark monster who was as cold as ice. Whose parents were murdered in cold blood and who got happiness from causing pain to others.
Tiana sat down on the couch as she fixed the details of her mories piece by piece, tears clouding her eyes.
…
Nicklaus had his head bent on his table. He had been fighting with himself on whether or not to go ho.
He wondered if she would hate him now. If she wouldn't want him anymore. His heart hurt so much thinking about it, he didn't know what to do if she only rembered the tis he had hurt her.
Nicklaus regretted repeatedly why he had caused her so much pain. He wished he could go back in ti and stop himself from doing that.
His eyes looked at his ti and he saw it was past 9 in the night. He couldn't avoid it. He had to face his fears.
So, standing up, Nicklaus dragged himself to his car and went ho.
His heart raced faster as he approached his house, wondering if she was still there, wondering if she had angrily left. Where would he start if she left him?
The pain would kill him…
Beautiful, please be here, please…
He begged in his heart as he walked into the house. The house was quiet, as though nothing had happened.
Dan, who was standing in the living room, walked to him when he saw him co inside.
''Where is she? '' Nicklaus asked, his voice trembling a little.
Dan pointed at the basent.
Nicklaus nodded sadness in his eyes. She didn't leave the basent all afternoon.
He thought.
Summoning up courage, he walked to the basent, but before he could open the door, Tiana beat him to it.
Nicklaus stood transfixed as he watched her step out of the room, her face red and swollen.
His breath caught in his throat, and he couldn't breathe. His lips opened but he couldn't say any word.
He just watched her.
Tiana raised her eyes to him. They were red and swollen. She had cried a lot, but when she saw him, she couldn't help crying all over again.
Without a word, she closed the gap between them and hugged him, crying in his arms.
Nicklaus was shocked. That was the last thing he expected her to do.
He was transfixed for a second before he hugged her back, patting her back.
''I rember everything, Nicklaus. Everything,'' she said, crying in his arms. They had gone through so much. So much. And just when they were about to be happy, the accident happened, taking her away from him. She rembered what she thought about before going blank. It was him. She had thought of him. Knowing the amount of suffering he had to go through waiting for her made her to cry more.
''I miss you, I miss you baby, I love you, I love you so much. ''
Tiana cried in his arms.
Nicklaus heaved a sigh of relief as he hugged her back, kissing her head.
''I love you too, and it's okay, don't cry anymore. '' he consoled her.
Tiana didn't know how long they stood there. She only opted to go to their room when her feet began to hurt.
