ERICA
Sometimes I wonder about my existence. If I never had come into this world maybe then I wouldn't have brought harm to these three young and innocent women. It is because of me that these women had suffered and were constantly faced with a life-threatening situation.
My memories as Nora has not been fully recovered but if what Kanae had said is true. Then I must search for my little brother. I had no idea what he had stolen or borrowed but if it means something dangerous then it must be returned. A part of me wished that Kanae could have stayed a little more and tell more about what my brother had taken and how to find him then everything would be so much easier but the other part of me doesn't.
My brother. The thought of him brings a smile to my lips. Although I couldn't remember everything as Nora, this little guy brings the light to my day. Every time I came back from the war he would make me very proud of making the bed, taking care of mom, and still knows how to manage his studies.
There were times he did throw in a fit whenever I have to go to war and fight for the country, but I knew he threw a fit because he wanted me to be safe. So whenever I come back I would bring back some delicious food for him to eat and buy better soft food for mom. I would always promise him that I would come back safe and sound. Our sibling's bond was so strong that Kanae was so jealous of sometimes. She said I cared for him more than I cared for her.
I would always make a joke out of this.
"Then become my little sister," I said.
She would always shake her head. "If I did then we couldn't be things that we are doing right now," she replied and always leaned into kissed me. "But sometimes I feel it is better to become a sibling to you than being your girlfriend you are so caring when it comes to your brother, but when it comes to me you always make fun of me."
"But I can be caring in other ways." I would always kiss her and make love to her.
Remembering all of this does bring a smile onto my lips, but I no longer can go back to those innocent days where I can goof around with Kanae and having sweet romantic moments with her. She has caused me too much pain in this lifetime.
Though, this is not the main point anymore. I am reincarnated right now I am Erica Von Lumia the boss of this family, and I am supposed to remember my past life? Out of all days, why am I forced to remember these memories? How is Kanae alive all this time? I need answers. I have a bad feeling that this all has to do with my brother, Olive Jamison, and wished and hoped that I am wrong in this judgment.
"Ugh.." a voice left out of Fay's mouth. She looked around the room but something seems wrong she got up and moved her hands around like she wasn't able to see anything. I quickly went up to her and held her hand. "Erica..." she touched my hand but there was something wrong with her eyes.
"I'm here, love. I'm here." I quickly gave in a few quick kisses on her forehead.
"Did you turn off the lights, Erica? Why is everything dark?" she questioned.
I waved my hands at her but her eyes did not move at all. "Can you really not see?" I asked.
She shook her head. "I can't see it. Everything is so dark. Am I still stuck in my own body?"
I breathed in and pulled her into an embrace. "You're here, honey. You are finally free, but I have to call the doctor." She nods and remained calm. She did not panic and for that, I am so proud of her. Immediately, our family doctor came to our aid and checked up on Fay. He used a flashlight to look into her eyes and had asked her to follow the light if she can but she couldn't.
When Dr. Kieran walked out of the room and asked me to follow him I hoped that Fay's eyesight could recover. Dr. Kieran looked at me his brown hair was still wet. He must have rushed here after receiving my calls he was in his casual T-shirt and jeans. "The situation is not too serious," he said. "I believe the blindness was caused by not having to expose to the light for a very long while. It must be when she is locked inside her own body without ever seeing all the lights. All she could see was darkness and only darkness alone for five whole years. I am surprised to still see her sane after all these it must've been very hard for her."
"She has," I answered in guilt. "But I am very proud of her it only means that she had hoped to get out someday and waited patiently."
Dr. Kieran smiles. "Her sight can be recovered quickly, but please do not allow to cry it'll worsen her state and tell her to rest more if not it'll slow down the healing process. Also, for now, let her slowly get used to the lighting in her room but dimly. Meanwhile, I'll go down to the laboratory to get fixed up some medicine for your wife."
"Yes, please. Thank you."
Dr. Kieran smiles revealing a dimple on his left cheeks. He is a handsome man with a nicely built body. I am pretty sure there are many who would love to get his hands on him, but I know Dr. Kieran doesn't like girls. He is a gentleman who likes boys, and I know there is someone in this family that he has fallen for, Samuel, my trusted man in this house. I can't blame him, Samuel is without a fact attractive, especially with his blue eyes. It's that one part about him that lured many young people into his grasp.
I am sure Dr. Kieran is on the way downstairs to make fun of him and tease him in order to get his attention. I am happy for the doctor. Samuel is a good guy and he probably knows that he has these strange feelings for Dr. Kieran. I can tell it in Samuel's face every time that Dr. Kieran approached him it's like a screaming danger to him and he wants to run away from him, but once he does it he realized that it is quite fun in a weird way to be teased by Dr. Kieran. So two handsome boys have feelings for each other its a pity to those girls who want to get their hands on them, but fuck what they think what is most important is the person which he or she is dating are happy with one another is willing to be with another for a lifetime. Unlike, I am a bad example of a wife and mother.
I married these two women because I couldn't choose one. So then the two of them had come to the terms of having a polyamorous relationship with me which I have never thought in my life I would be doing it. Now, that I am receiving memories from my previous self my feelings are now jungled up at times I will be having headaches often when some memories returned to me.
The memories of Nora and Kanae.
Enough of thinking right now all I need to focus on is curing Fay's eyesight. Before I could return to the bedroom I could hear Samuel's voice screaming at my name, "Boss!" I chuckled and walked away. I walked away and pretended I didn't hear anything. I did not inform Samuel that Dr. Kieran was coming so he was fully unprepared if Dr. Kieran decides to jump on him.
I walked inside the bedroom as Fay quickly turn me to me with her hearing. I crawled into the bed and held onto her hand. They were slightly trembling. "It's alright," I whispered. "Dr. Kieran said your eyesight will be fine just as long you get enough rest. He is downstairs fixing up some medicine."
She smiles. "Erica, I want to hold our daughter," she cried a tear slipped down her eyes. I quickly removed the tear.
"Love, please don't cry. It'll slow down the healing process." She quickly nods her head and laughs.
Immediately, I took my phone and dialed Camila phone number when she heard the news she quickly brought Amy down into the room. Amy's wild big and blue eyes shimmered at the sight of her mother and ran into Fay's arm for an embrace. "Mommy," she cried. Tears were brought into my eyes. The last time that Fay was able to look at her own daughter is when our daughter was just a baby. Then when Camila came along. Micah decided to punish me by not allowing Fay to come out ever again and since then I have never seen or heard from Fay again.
We were all a family again. "Erica," Camila held onto my hand. "Congratulation!"
I smile and I kissed her forehead. "I will always love you, Camila," I said.
She smiles. "I know."
I held onto Camila's hand and I realized this is the life I am having now is what matters right now. Whoever I may be Nora or Erica I am going to cherished this life with Camila and Fay. Life is too short to have any regrets. I am going to find my little brother and I am going to revive all my memory whether I like it or not. I will battle the ghost of my past to keep living in this life even if it means the death of me with this resolve my heart started to beat faster and faster till the moment I couldn't breathe.
Chione!
