’My sister is still alive...’
Enzo’s mind could only absorb her last statent. Among her revelations, knowing Sabrina was still alive was the most important thing to him.
Though he couldn’t rember his mories with his sister, his heart rejoiced when he heard that.
"My sister is still alive... I’m not alone. I still have her. Where is she right now, Lanny? I want to see her. How is she doing?" Enzo bombarded Lanny with so many questions regarding Sabrina. However, Lanny couldn’t disclose Sabrina’s whereabouts for now.
"Yes. She is alive. But don’t worry, Sabrina is in good hands. You have to regain your mory first before you can see her." Lanny gave him this condition to motivate him to regain his lost mories.
Enzo could only bob his head, determination could be seen in his eyes. "I will... I have to reunite with my sister."
"Our own relatives betrayed us... and my brother-in-law hurt my sister. I’m glad that her current whereabouts are hidden from them. I won’t let them hurt my sister again. I don’t care about the company. I just want her to live happily and peacefully."
To make him feel at ease, Lanny told him that Sabrina was currently living in Country M, trying to move forward from her painful past... nding her broken heart.
"How about my case? Why did lody accuse of being a murderer?" Enzo asked her with puzzlent. He didn’t know the reason for that.
anwhile, Lanny took a deep breath before revealing the story behind it. "Five years ago, after sending Sabrina abroad, you faced Dominique Smith and your Uncle who were celebrating their success."
"You barged into the Williams Mansion and shot Dominique. You tried to kill him to punish him for what he did to your sister. But you failed to kill him. You escaped. While fleeing, that must be the ti you got into an accident and you lost your mory."
Enzo fell silent when he heard that. "Then who helped my sister? Did she search for ?"
Lanny smiled at him and nodded, "Yes. She is so worried about you. That’s why she sent here to find you. I helped her settle down abroad. Don’t worry about her. For now, we need to keep this from the Williams Family and her ex-husband. They shouldn’t know that your sister is alive."
"Yes. I won’t let them," Enzo swore to Lanny. "But I can’t understand. Why didn’t Dominique press charges against ?"
Lanny shook her head, also clueless about Dominique’s motive. "Maybe he sohow felt guilty... since you already lost your family, including your sister."
"I have to see him!" Enzo clenched his fists. After hearing the story in the past, his resentnt toward Dominique resurfaced.
"Okay. I won’t stop you from confronting Dominique. But what can you say to him? You can’t rember anything. You lost your mory. Are you going to let them know your weakness?"
Enzo could only sigh in defeat. Lanny was right. It was disadvantageous for him since he couldn’t rember anything. He was grateful that Lanny shared this information with him. At least, he knew whom to trust. His relatives and forr brother-in-law were his enemies.
"I will lie low and will try to avoid them." He promised her.
Lanny felt glad upon hearing his statent. Fortunately, Enzo was reasonable. He wasn’t stubborn, unlike her brother.
"Don’t break your promise. If you do better, I will let you contact Sabrina soon. For now, we have to keep this a secret for her safety, including yours. We didn’t know who caused your accident five years ago. It might be an order from Dominique or one of the Williams Family." Lanny shared her speculation with him.
Enzo nodded in understanding. "Thank you, Lanny. I’m so glad that I have a friend like you." He pulled her into a hug after saying that.
Lanny was caught off guard by that sudden hug. Her heart skipped a beat at the feeling of his warmth. From a distance, Athena smiled at her teasingly. They t each other’s gaze and she was happy to see Lanny and Enzo together.
Lanny imdiately pushed Enzo, breaking the hug. She was a bit embarrassed since Vladimir’s employees could also see them from a distance. To avoid issues, she had to distance herself from Enzo as she didn’t want other employees to think there was special treatnt when it ca to Enzo.
But little did she know, Vladimir had already briefed his employees to treat Enzo better. He even asked them not to give Enzo a heavy workload in the Cafe. He needed to take good care of Athena’s brother.
"Enzo, I think we should eat lunch together with Athena." Lanny changed the topic.
"Does Athena know about my past and my sister’s story?" Enzo asked Lanny curiously. He wondered if Athena was also Sabrina’s close friend.
"Yes. She knows everything," Lanny simply replied.
Enzo smiled faintly, feeling grateful. "I don’t know what I would do without the support from both of you. Thank you so much, Lanny. I owe you and Athena a lot. I’ll promise to return the favor for everything you’ve done for and my sister."
Lanny just fell silent. In the back of her mind, she was thinking about the deal she had with Enzo. Until now, he hadn’t fulfilled it yet– giving her a son.
"Enzo, five years ago... you made a promise to ... in exchange for my help." Lanny opened it up to him.
Enzo’s eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown. "I’m sorry. I’ve forgotten about . Can you tell what is it? I want to know. I still want to fulfill it..."
But Lanny promptly shook her head, refusing to disclose it. "I can’t. I want you to rember it yourself." She patted his shoulder while eyeing him aningfully. "You must rember it if you truly want to fulfill it."
Enzo exhaled deeply. He was dying to know but Lanny was tight-lipped about it. ’Sigh. I wonder if Athena knows about it. Should I ask her?’
Enzo was still trying to figure it out when Lanny finally stood up. "Co. Let’s join Athena."
With that, Lanny ended their discussion. Enzo had mixed emotions right now. He had a lot of things running in his mind. But one thing was for sure– he wanted to regain his mory at all costs.
"Lanny..." Enzo grabbed her elbow, stopping her for a mont. "Please help rember everything. I can only rely on you and Athena..." he pleaded.
Lanny gave him a aningful smile. "Of course. I will help you."

*1:00 pm at Goddess Elixirs Cafe...*
Timothy arrived on ti, excited to et Athena.
"Please co in, sir," Enzo welcod him.
"Reservation of Miss Lanny and Athena," Timothy inford Enzo.
"This way, sir. Follow ." Enzo guided Timothy to the private booth on the second floor where Athena was waiting for him.
His eyes sparkled with excitent when he saw a glimpse of Athena’s figure sitting inside the booth. As usual, she was still wearing her laced mask to conceal the upper part of her face.
"Miss Athena," Timothy murmured, his voice soft as he extended his right hand towards her. Gently, he clasped her hand and brought it to his face, pressing a tender kiss to the back of her palm.
Before Timothy’s arrival, Lanny had already warned Athena about Timothy’s reputation with won. He was known as a playboy who loved fooling around with different beautiful won. He hated commitnt and he didn’t have a serious relationship with won. It was always casual flirting and fling.
Though she didn’t avoid his kiss, Athena retreated her hand right away.
"Mr. Wilson, please sit down." Athena offered him the opposite chair.
With a wide smile, Timothy sat down in front of her, his eyes still admiring her allure.
"It’s my pleasure to finally et you like this in private. Where is Miss Lanny?" Timothy asked her. It was unusual for Athena to talk to him without her manager.
’Why do I feel so lucky today? I am having a conversation with Athena alone.’ Timothy couldn’t contain his joy. He was smiling broadly.
"She’s busy. I’m here to negotiate with you directly." Athena inford him. Little did he know, Lanny was also there, watching them through the CCTV cara.
Timothy felt glad. He imdiately talked about his offer– the great amount he could offer her and the projects for her album. He expressed his interest in signing her as an exclusive artist of his company. He promised her that he would help her do more concerts and release more songs and albums.
"Miss Athena, I assure you. You won’t regret signing with my company. I will take good care of you. I will support your career here in York City. Just tell your demands, and I will do my best to fulfill them."
"Thank you, Mr. Wilson. I love your offers. But there is sothing I am more curious about. If you answer truthfully, I might reconsider accepting your offer."
Timothy blinked in puzzlent. "Okay. What is it, Miss Athena?"
Athena flashed her charming smile before she continued, "Do you have a secret affair with Sasha Smith?"
Timothy: "..."
