Chapter 23

Ethan POV

I can’t explain what is going on, why does Blue look older, and Raven, she did not even look at me the way she used to. I think have been missing for years but why didn’t any one find me and the rape stuff Raven was saying. I heard her, did I really hurt her, why can’t I remember what happened, everything's so blurry when I try to remember.

The doctor already confirmed it, I did lose my memory, he said I won’t recall anything that happened to me before, and the bruises was from being tortured but who did I offend? I know I have a lot of enemy but no one will be willing to go this far as to kidnap and torture me for years.

My mother broke down crying after she got my report, I don’t even know how to console her, my mother hardly cries, so for me to see her in tears because of me made me get emotional as well. They took me home and told me to rest, I couldn’t sleep not after everything that is happening and the arguing downstairs, I need to know what is going on

I went down and heard my brother Nathan saying, we can’t tell him about his past, he needs to move on, do you actually think Raven will accept him after what he did to her

You are just jealous of their relationship, we all know how you’ve pursued Raven for years and she kept saying no, Adrianna replied him

What are you even doing here? Shouldn’t you be at home taking care of your family as a good wife is supposed to

What about you, you left your pregnant wife at home just to tell mom that we should not tell our brother about his past, how will he learn?

How will he move forward when he is stuck in the past?

Just so we are clear, Ethan need to know what he did to Raven so he can be careful when he approaches her

What do I need to know?

Ethan said from behind them after listening to everything, he really wants to know what he did wrong

He doesn’t know why he feels the need to apologise to Raven. Please can you tell me the truth, I hate when you lie to me, am begging you, tell me what I did wrong

The doctor said you should rest son, please go and rest. We will tell you everything when you are well rested.

Thank you dad

You guys won’t tell him will you? Adrianna asked once she saw her brother wasn’t there anymore

It’s for his own good dear

If this is what you have all decided to do, then count me out, am not in support of this, Ethan has the right to know

She stood up and left the house angrily

The next day

When everyone woke up, they couldn’t find Ethan in his room, everyone was searching for him only for them to receive a call from Raven that he was in her house and they should come and take him home before she hurt him

Raven woke up because of the bell ringing, she needed to rest after a long week. She opened the door and Ethan was standing there, she couldn’t just turn him away.

What are you doing here? She asked after letting him in

I came to apologise to you and our daughter concerning yesterday, I didn’t mean to hurt you, he tried moving closer to her but she stepped back getting scared, if not for the noise coming from the stairs she would have reached for the vase and hit him

I saw my daughter chasing a little boy who looks like me

Mom Eric stole my diary

I didn’t mama

The little boy turned to see who had woken them up so early, not like they weren’t awake

He looked at the young boy who looked like a carbon copy of himself. Although the boy is younger, he will be a heartbreaker when he gets older.

Mama, why does he look like my dead father?

The boy asked

Well kid, your father is alive, you can finally do what you wanted to do with him, now you have a fatherly figure that came back from the dead

Blue!

What mom, that the truth

You sound like a child that has daddy issue

You little brat, take it back

No! not until you stop calling me kid, you’re not my mom

Am your sister, that also makes me your mom

Keep dreaming Blue

Stop chasing your brother, what if he falls and hit his head, now come sit let me make you breakfast and yes kid this is your father who came back from the dead

I made breakfast for everyone, we all ate silently, after a few minutes Blue broke the awkward atmosphere

What are you doing here? Let me remind you I don’t need a father figure in my life, as you can see, I grew up just fine without you but am sure Eric here needs you

I know you are angry about yesterday, I didn’t mean to offend anyone and am happy your uncle took care of everything, I promise I won’t get in the way of your love life

Good, mom am going to see Dani, I might sleep over

Alright honey, just don’t do what I won’t do

Eww mom

Not that, but now that I think of it don’t even think of having sex

Am eighteen mom, you said I should wait until I was eighteen

You grow so quickly, she said wiping the fake tears from her eye

Don’t roll your eyes at me young lady

Am leaving

Alright, use protection

Mom! She whined

Just kidding

So why are you here? I came to ask you if you can tell me what happened between us

Didn’t your parents tell you?

Nobody wants to, they keep saying it’s better that way, that I should just forget about the past and move on

How can I move on when the woman I'm in love with is not beside me? I need you to tell me the truth Raven

Why can’t you let it be? What if I told you the truth and you hate yourself forever?

Is it really that bad?

I nodded, maybe what your parents said is right, you don’t need to remember your past, just move on with your present

Will you still be mine in this present?
