Melodiza POV
"Excuse me? What do you mean I'm his mother?" As I tried to remember all the articles about Carlita and the things I read about Leon, I dont remember any information about them having a kid.
"I was surprised, when you told me you did not know me, I thought you were still angry at me and was pretending." The man drawled as he ignored my question. (Either that or she was pretending so as to avoid getting a divorce.) When I had come that day to check up on her and act the part of wanting to get a divorce, I had seriously thought she was pretending because she was still mad at me, Leon thought.
As he started walking closer to me, I again felt this weird irritation towards him.
"Oh... Really... And what did you do that would make me act like that?" I countered as I felt angry at his words. Somehow, it made me feel nervous. After all, I don't have amnesia. I'm just a different person occupying this unknown body. However, how dare he thinks I'm pretending! Even if I am, it's not like it's a lie. I really don't know him.
"Well, considering you don't remember anything, how about I remind you..." He stood closer to me and then whispered in my ear "It was because I did not let you out of my bed the whole night which made you miss an audition the next morning. " he seductively said. (Leon secretly laughed in his head. If she actually believes him then she definitely has amnesia.)
When I heard his words, I blushed. This man... Why is it every time I meet him, I always feel speechless. One moment he is saying he wants to get a divorce and then the next moment he is flirting with me.
"I wouldn't be angry about something like that! I'm not that petty!" I pushed him off me and stood back.
"Oh.. Really?" Leon sneered as he remembers how she didn't speak to him for a whole week after he forced her to accompany him to a company party instead of going to an acting event. Honestly, every time it concerns her acting career, she becomes so easily hot tempered.
"That's right! And you still haven't answered my question, how did you end up with a kid? I never heard of any news about him?" I asked as the little guy, who somehow found his way into my arms and buried himself in my chest, softly said "But mommy, you are my mommy!"
"You're wrong it's not me who ended up with a kid. It's us who ended up with a kid." He clarified.
I frustratingly sighed as I felt like he was avoiding my question, again. I stared at him and glared.
"Fine, I know! However, I read that you are... mmadly in love with me but I never heard that there was a child?" I slightly stammered. It was embarrassing, saying to the person themselves they were madly in love with you. What if I'm wrong? Even though I don't know him, it still would be embarrassing being rejected outright like that. On second thought, he did say he wanted to divorce me. Did I just shoot myself in the foot?
"What do you mean? It's because I'm madly in love with you that we ended up with a child. Or were you instead surprised that we only had one? Should we go and make one more? " I flirtingly said. Hmm... It's quite fun teasing this women even though she's glaring at me.
His respond frustrated me so much, I glared at him and said.
"You know what, nevermind! Please get out of my room!" His handsome face alone was starting to piss me off. Here I am trying to get some sense into this situation and there he is just avoiding my question and flirting with me. How frustrating.
As I started to gently take the arms of the kid around me, the man sighed and finally said "We decided to hide him and keep him away from the entertainment scene."
He then explained "which is why there is no articles about him" He thought he should keep it a secret that it was her who wanted to keep the child hidden. It would probably create more confusion and lead to more questions about the past. Leon wanted to enjoy the moment and use this time to get her to fall in love with him before she finds out everything. If he has to lie his way through to getting her trust, he will.
When he finally gave me a proper reply, I felt I got frustrated for nothing. I guess his reason make sense. I've heard of many celebrities that would keep their life private and avoid their children being on TV.
I looked down at the child and suddenly felt pity for him. This child doesn't even know his mom has already passed away and that I am not his mother.
"Mom, why are you in the hospital? Everyone says you've forgotten me, is it true?" The child looks like he is about to cry again.
I didn't know how to respond, after all, I don't know this child but I didn't want to hurt his feelings either. I tried to figure out the best way to handle this situation without making it complicated for the child. It's not like I could tell him I'm not his mother and as a mother myself, I knew the impact it would have on the child if he found out that his mother does not know him or recognize him.
"Of course not! How silly of me... Of course I remember you sweetheart!" I said gently and softly. I tried to imagined that this was my son and felt pain thinking of what he would feel if he was in this situation. I pitied this child and decided I would treat him like my own. Since the owner of this body was his mother, then for her sake, I will treat and take care of her child as my own.
"Please forgive mother's words earlier, I obviously would never forget you. Your my precious baby!" I called out gently and reached out to the child and hugged him tightly.
"Yes, mommy, I forgve yoh!" The little boy cutely responded as he hugged me back.
I suddenly realized that I did not know this boy's name. Now great! How am I going to find out his name? It's not like I can ask this boy, isn't that the same as saying I don't remember him? I feel like slapping my self in the forehead. As I peeked at the man who was standing in front of us, I wondered if it was weird if I asked him what our child's name is?
Leon saw her looking at him and laughed. If she has amnesia then she probably doesn't even know her son's name. He knew that she was lying that she remembered her son. If she had remembered, she would not of pretended in the first place and she probably wouldn't be as gentle and sweet to their son as she is now.
Secretly, he knew that his wife actually hated her son because he looked so much like him.
To see her act like a mother, was actually a surprise.
"Ethan, I think it's time we leave now. We need to let mommy have her rest."
"Igor!" He ordered and then I saw the butler walk in.
"Take the young master back to the car first, I'll be right over in a few minutes"
"Yes, sir" Butler Igor then lead the little boy out of the room, who I was relieved to learn was named Ethan.
As they left the room, it was just me and this man. The nurse who was with me earlier, had left long time ago when that man came in. It was only at this time that I realized it was only two of us.
I suddenly felt nervous. My feelings were a bit complicated. I knew now that this man was my husband but I couldn't change the fact that in my heart, I was still already married to another man.
"I wanted to talk about the divorce and when you will be able to sign it"
When I heard him speak about the divorce again, I was confused. I don't understand him. Does he have a split personality? Why is it one moment he's flirting like we are in love and the next moment he is talking about getting a divorce?
I had very mixed feelings about this. I felt it was not my right to say yes or no or even argue about this divorce.
"I don't know what's going on or the reason you want a divorce. But before I sign anything, I just want to ask one thing, where we really in love? And what about Ethan, we still have him to worry about, wouldn't it not be good for the child?" I thought the best course of action would be to delay getting a divorce until I could figure out my relationship to this man. I wouldn't want to break up a family because of my own selfish wants.
"Actually, I was going to clarify. I only want you to "pretend" to divorce me."
He then reached out to me and softly carcass my face. And in a soft voice he said "There is somethings that I can not say right now but I hope you could trust me and cooperate with me on this. "
His touched made me feel nervous. One part of me felt repulsed and afraid as if I wanted to run away from him and then somewhere deep in my heart, I felt some sort of satisfaction with him touching me as though this is something I always wanted.
I looked him in the eye and saw an emotion I couldn't understand. Pretend? Why? As much as I had so many questions, I knew that there was no point in me rejecting his request. If I wanted to know what he meant, then I would need to play along, I thought.
"Alright, for now I will cooperate with you"

Leon POV
This was the first time I touched her and she didn't yell at me or pushed me away. I secretly felt happy that she didn't remember me.
At first, I thought I'd make her believe that I didn't want her and make her divorce me. So when I found out she actually had amnesia, I changed my mind. This women who had no clue about our past or our problems, would probably believe anything I say especially now, that the only people she knows is me, her husband.
As long as she agrees to play along, then I can keep her safe and still keep her with me.
I gazed at her face and realized that she had become more beautiful than before. It was like before she always had this suffocating presence that made it hard to be around her. She was stuck up and arrogant. But now, she had this bright glow. When she looks at me, I feel my heart throbbing.
I slowly focused on her lips and found them so inviting. I wondered what it was like to kiss those lips again. Even though we've been together for 5 years, we never actually kissed. Before I knew it, I leaned down and placed my lips on her lips. She moaned and protested as she tried to push me off of her, but being able to finally be close to her and feel her, I didn't want to relent. Oh, how much I wanted to have her again and taste her lips. I slowly carried her in my arms and placed her on the bed. I could tell she was still weak as she slowly stopped going against me. I knew I shouldn't be taking advantage of this situation, but I wanted her so much. I was scared to think that if she remembered everything in the future, she may never let me touch her again.

The sudden turned of events, shocked me. Before I could register what happened, he had already started kissing me. I tried to push him off but I was still feeling very weak and as he held me in his arms and placed his lips on me, I felt my resolve weakening. I was so weak, that the only thing I could do was be there in his arms and let him have his way with me. He carried me to the bed and placed me down. He continued to carass my skin. I then felt his hands go up my body and slightly graze my beast. I shuddered as I felt sensitive to his touch. Maybe it's because this body is not mine, but it's responding quite well with him. I felt like I don't have control of my own body. Slowly, he lifted my hospital robe up my body and placed his hand on my thighs until he slowly reached closer to my underwear.
When I realized what he was about to do, I weakly said "ddon't..." and tried to grab his hand. But it was futile, he quickly took off my underwear half way and slowly started to rub my clitoris. I started to shudder and moan. Oh God this so wrong... I shouldn't be allowing this. I have a husband. But somewhere in my mind, whispered that the man in front of me is my "husband". He then continued to rub me and then I suddenly felt something going inside me and it felt so good. He started to use his fingers to enter in and out of me. Before I knew it, I started to tremble and my heart started to beat fast and I knew I was going to come. I grabbed his head and close my eyes as I silently tried to take the wave of pleasure that when through me.
The man who had suddenly just gave me an orgasmn lifted his head and watched me come. He then smiled cheekily as he looked at me. "To think that you would enjoy it that much. It makes me feel regret not being able to stay longer."
I silently glared at him as I felt too weak to even do anything to him or respond.
"You now owe me one" He smiled seductively. As he leaned over and kissed me on my mouth, he whispered "you better be prepared because I'll be taking it with interest". I blushed and was about to yell at him before he suddenly got up, fixed his clothes and walked out of the door.
I felt so angry. What do you mean I owe you? And what Interests? It's not like I was a virgin. I knew exactly what he meant and just thinking about it made me feel nervous and worried. As I stared at the ceiling and felt a mixture of embarrassment, guilt, anger and hate at myself, I suddenly felt like I didn't know how I'm going to handle that man.
What had I gotten myself into, I thought.
