Riekko's Pov
Its been a year but I didn't saw any presence of him.
What is he doing right now? Does he even miss me? Those are the questions keep running around my mind everyday.
"Babe what are you staring at come on Dad's waiting for us." Anna smiled like she always does but Deion's smile was unforgettable.
"I'm sorry let's go you look gorgeous with your outfit." I smiled at her and guide her outside.
It was a celebration for the successful partnership of Xiao group and a party was held.
Chrome and Hades were waving at me I just smiled at them.
"I'll check out my friends babe I'll be back." She said.
I walked towards them and Hades tapped me in the shoulder.
"Dude I'm sorry for leading you into this I felt guilty every time I saw you. So as a token of appreciation I actually tracked her album so here it is." He said while giving me a present.
"Is it Christmas already?" I joked.
"You still haven't change at all by the way are you still looking for him?" Chrome asked while mixing his wine.
I froze with his question and smiled sadly.
"There is no point at all Chrome I know you'll be mad with me after this." I said.
"Silly we'll still be here no matter what your decision is." Chrome replied patting me at the shoulder.
"Son come here I want you to meet the Morsens they are leading one of the best winery in the country. This is my son Riekko Neurons the heir of our advertising company." My dad introduce me as I raise my head I was surprise.
"Mr. Neuron what a coincidence you seems to be doing well too?" She smiled at me but I know she meant something about it.
"You know each other?" My dad asked in confusion.
"Yes, he is my son's professor at school." She replied without taking his eyes off me.
"Really? How is your son now does he finally found a donor?" My dad asked.
"What do you mean donor? I thought he only has asthma?" I ask directly.
I saw how her smile fades with the question Mr. Morsen replied instead.
"He's not fine at all-"
"Babe! There you are we need to talk-" I glared at her.
"Shut up Anna! What do you mean he's not fine?!" I exclaimed and grabbed Mr. Morsen.
Deion's mom laughed with my question which made me confuse.
"Now you actually cares for my son look at you feeling happy in life while Deion was suffering from his illness!" She exclaimed while glaring at me.
"Will you fucking tell me directly?! What the hell is going on?!" I am now so angry.
I was so confused my heart was beating so fast what is this all about. I even ignored my Dad who was still speechless on the situation.
"Didn't he told you he was diagnosed with Heart failure? He got it ever since he was born he finally has a donor for his heart transplant last year but he suddenly declined." He replied in a sad tone.
"Babe can you let this go everyone is staring already." Anna replied with a trembling voice.
I look at her and spoke.
"Did you know all of this? You lied to me right? You fucking tricked me all how could you?!" I shouted in anger.
"I did it because I love you! I wanted to be selfish because I saw how you cared towards him! If I acted I'm sick he will be guilty and let me have you!" She cried holding me in the arm.
I laughed while tears are already forming in my eye.
"Great just great! And I bet you also were part of their plan right Dad??" I exclaimed in a sarcastic voice.
He look in the other way without uttering a word. My guess was actually right then they planned all of this to happen.
"Are you happy now Anna? Your plan did work!" I smiled and clapped my hands.
"I'll be leaving that fucking company and take down my position as the Ceo. No one is stopping now not even you or anyone." I said while gritting my teeth in anger.
I saw their eyes widened but I turned my back at them and faced Elise.
"Where is he I beg you please tell me." I begged her I saw her eyes become more sad and hold on Mr. Morsen.
"He disappeared 8 months ago with Grey we don't have any idea until now i-if h-his still alive." Mr. Morsen replied looking worried.
"You are lying right? Why are you all doing this to me!" I exclaimed I don't care if everyone saw me how hopeless I am.
"Dude calm down Chrome inject him already!" Hades grabbed me in both arms.
"I need to see him Hades I left him alone! This is all my fault I shouldn't have left I shouldn't have." Chrome help me to stood up and drag me away.
We arrive at the Car and Chrome was holding the syringe.
"We'll find him so please calm down I'm trying to inject with your anti-allergies." He said and slowly my vision become dark.
I woke up at the bed and saw Hades browsing his laptop.
"Deion!" I exclaimed.
"You are finally awake we are trying to locate Grey. As for the moment you need to fix your business I'm referring to the cake shops." He reminded me.
"I don't care anymore I need to go." I said and stood up.
"Stop being stubborn you idiot! Instead of looking out of nowhere use your connections! When did you become stupid?!" Hades yelled at me.
"Y-your right I need to use my connections." I replied his words awakened my mind.
The door suddenly opened and showed Chrome bringing Serrah.
He has a daughter with Sam but their relationship isn't that good as for now.
"Why don't you take a rest for a bit try to bring Serah she's been looking for you." He smiled.
I smiled at him and nodded.
He's right I really need to take a break first.
I brought Serrah at the mall and she was so happy dragging me around.
Until our favorite song was played at the mall. We've been a fan with Berry ever since she debuted her first song "Its You".

Every time I hear Berry's song it feels really familiar. It always remind me of Deion's voice but its impossible because Berry is a girl.
"Uncle look there are a lot of people out there!" She pointed which mad me raised my head.
I saw a familiar person who is currently taking a call.
"Finn?" I suddenly blurted just in time he's eyes look at my area.
He seems surprise to see me in front of him. He suddenly look around like he needed to do something but I ran towards him and grab his arm.
"Finn its really you I'm so glad to see you." I exclaimed.
"I-" he was cut off with a familiar voice.
"Finnesha what took you so long?" She said.
I froze and slowly turned towards the voice I heard.
A beautiful woman appeared wearing sunglasses and covering her face.
"B-berry its nothing just a friend of mine." He said while looking at me.
"Ohh did I disturb you two?" She smiled.
"Y-your berry?" I asked I can't believe it if not because of her outfit and hair I'll definitely think its Deion.
"Yes its nice to meet you Finn's friend. Is that your daughter? She looks so beautiful." She smiled a man walk towards her.
"Sweetheart we need to go." He said while looking at me.
He stared at me for a while and grabbed Berry away.
"I really need to go Riekko we will talk some other time." He said while waving at me.
I was too speechless to react why do I have a feeling its Deion?
"Uncle Berry is so beautiful you didn't ask for an authograph!" Serrah exclaimed which made me back to my senses.
Maybe I was hallucinating I was thinking too much about Deion.
"Oh no need it seems like my friend knows him." I said and walked with her.
As I got home I still can't take Berry's face at my mind. I decided to visit Bee tomorrow he might know something.
I arrive at a large restaurant and walk inside I saw Bee telling commands at his staff.
"Hey Bee." I said he look at my area and wave at me.
"Bro why did you decided to visit me now?" He said.
"I actually wanted to ask you something." I said in a serious voice.
He invited me inside his office and offered a seat.
"Spill it." He said.
"Well I saw Finn yesterday and thought Deion might be-" He immediately grab me in the shoulder.
"Where did you find him???" He exclaimed making me a bit surprise on how he acted.
"Woah chill out at the mall I thought he was with Deion but it wasn't as I expected." I said.
"So you are asking if I have any idea about this right? The truth is no I don't have I also need to face Finn after leaving me." He said in a dark tone.
"I guess I'm not alone with this hide and seek game." I said looking at him who is busy staring at the wall.
"I'll let you know when I caught him." He said.
"That sounds good." I replied.
Veraine Armstrong/ Berry's Pov
Sean was taking care of me while I was so exhausted from the fans meet and greet.
"I told you not to exhaust yourself." Sean said in a anger tone.
"Sorry sweet heart I was just so happy I can finally get out." I replied giving him a peck in the lips.
He immediately smiled on what I did.
"Just don't do it next time." He added.
When I was at the hospital I write some songs and Sean encourage me to be a singer.
I was actually just singing out of fun but then after the release of my first song everyone loves it.
I decided to make it as a side line besides I'm still not fine.
Sean told me everything and also that I had an amnesia. But its actually fine with me why? What else can I wish for having a handsome and kind husband.
He treated me very well and always gave me some time even thou he is already so tired from work.
The only thing he suggested was to make me crossdress.
"Sweetie you look so beautiful today I so love watching you on a girl outfit. I always sees you as the most beautiful wife I ever had." He always told me those words.
My hair was already longer and I also added some extensions. I was also known as Berry the famous anonymous singer they actually think that I'm a girl but the truth is not.
I also kept my gender to everyone and just told them its a secret.
"Sweet the man earlier he was looking at you differently I was so jealous." He mumbled while hugging me tightly.
"Silly you are my husband why would you feel jealous?" I asked.
"Its just I don't like him." He said.
Weird Sean seems so serious well he's actually right the man earlier was looking at me like he knows me.
"Okay stop thinking about that as for now I need to sign the contract I have from one of my sponsors." I said while getting a pen.
The owner of the shop was an avid fan of me he asked me to be the one who'll be advertising he's shop.
It was actually famous the owner is also very mysterious too. Well I love mysteries so I agreed and besides I'm just the star of that commercial its also not too hard or use too much force.
"Grey called me he will be at England later so it means its just the two of us." Sean grinned.
"Oh stop with that grinning thing of yours I can't even take a rest after." I complaint.
"My wife no longer loves me." He mumbled.
"Silly." I replied and hugged him.
The next day we decided to visit the said shop until the young girl yesterday appeared.
"Berry!" She exclaimed.
"Oh no Serrah I'm so sorry about my daughter she's just a fan of yours." He said while looking at her daughter.
As he raised his head surprise was written in his face.
"Deion?!" He exclaimed while holding at me.
I froze for a while on how he acted but Sean was furious and grab me away.
Do I know him? Why does he's calling me Deion.
"You are scaring my wife Mr?" Sean said while holding me possessively.
"You are Deion I won't be mistaken!" He said.
I know that because of my Amnesia I wasn't able to remember them but grey told me I was in pain with all of my past memories that's why I wished to forget.
"I'm so sorry but I don't know you and I'm Veraine Armstrong and this is my Husband Sean Armstrong." I said.
He look at me in suspiscion so I raised our wedding rings.
"If your still not satisfied I can show you our marriage certificate." Sean replied and opened his phone.
"My apologies I really thought you are Deion you really do look alike." He said.
"Its fine you are not the first one who said that." I smiled at him.
"Sorry for the inconvenience I'm Chrome Guedes the owner would be here in a minute so as for now you can take a look of our menu's staffs and place." He said in a business tone.
Sean hold my hand and we checked the whole area I also tasted the food which is really superb.
"Sweetheart their cake is great!" I exclaimed while eating the strawberry cake.
"Sweetie you only tasted the strawberry cake while you are letting me finish the others." Sean mumbled.
I laughed at him and continued to eat until the owner has arrived.
We were a bit surprise to see that he is the owner of the famous cake shop.
"What a coincidence, I'm Riekko Neurons the owner of the Dees Cake.
You must be Veraine Armstrong and you are?" He ask looking at Sean.
"I'm his husband Sean Armstrong." I notice their handshakes are a bit tough so I immediately but in.
"Sweetheart don't you have work today? You've been following me since we arrive." I said raising my brows at Sean.
He laugh at me and spoke. "Silly even if I won't work we still can live with the money I had."
I notice a dark gaze towards us making me flinch.
Sean's expression suddenly changed in confusion and faced Riekko who is now smiling calmly.
"Weird, maybe I was mistaken earlier." I thought.
"So your photoshoot will start tomorrow and I need you to sign the contract in my office so I could explain further details about the contract." Riekko explained looking at Sean and back at me.
"I understand I'll wait for you here outside." Sean said and kissed me at the lips.
I was a bit surprise I know he is clingy and all but he never does this in something serious. Like what I mean is in front of my soon to be boss and any professional stuffs.
"O-okay." I said and followed Riekko.
When we got into his office I saw a strawberry pillow at the sofa which make it look cute.
I can't help myself but walk towards it and grabbed one.
"This looks so cute are you also a fan of strawberry stuffs?" I asked.
"No but my boyfriend loves it so much he even chooses the strawberry cake than me." He smiled sadly.
"Oh where is he right now?" I asked out of curiosity.
"He left me alone from the people who fed me with lies." He said looking away.
"I'm sorry to hear that I shouldn't ask did I make you uncomfortable?" I asked.
"Not at all." He smiled and sat on the other couch.
"I'm sorry about my husband Sean was a bit possessive towards me he was just scared." I explained.
"Its fine I understand so here it is the contract you can read the rules and the benefits is already written. You can tell me any suggestions or changes about it." He said.
"I do have one regarding about the schedules can we minimize it, I mean can we make it breathable and not too tight? I actually have an illness and being a busybody isn't really good for me. I have here my medical results and stuffs you can read it as a proof that I'm telling the truth." I said handing him the brown envelope.
He stare at me for a moment and accepted the envelope, Riekko was so focus in reading the papers and suddenly look at me.
"What a coincidence my boyfriend has the same illness like yours." He said with meaningful look.
"Really? That was indeed a great coincidence." I said.
"Don't worry I understand I'll change your schedules and make you safe and protected while the contract is still on. It was a pleasure working with you Berry." He said and offered his hand for a business handshake.
"Me too thank you Mr. Neurons I'll do my job perfectly." I answered and accepted his hand.
When our hands loosen up I somehow felt regret which made me confused.
We got out at the office and I saw Sean standing and waiting for me.
"Sweetie how was it?" Sean asked.
"Its good and Mr. Neurons accepted my conditions." I replied.
"We'll be going now Mr. Neurons thank you and please take care of my wife now that she's working with you." Sean said.
"No need to worry Mr. Armstrong I'll handle it." He answered and bids us goodbye.
