Chapter 11 - Reminiscing

After bidding goodnight to everyone, Kiara and Stanley walked down holding hands surrounded by the bodyguards. They were noticed by Edward's friends who were by now sure that Kiara was alive, not only that but she has also become a beautiful woman with the great Stanley Emerson behind her. They were all envious of Edward because Kiara was once his fiancé. With the incident of his friends seeing Kiara being known to both Edward and North, they both feared the consequences. Before going out, Edward made sure that none of his friends will talk about Kiara. Although they were suspicious, since it was their friend who asked them to do so, they did not object and went with his plan of not telling everyone.

....

Later that night, Kiara was both physically and mentally exhausted and slept through out the way to home on Stanley's lap. Stanley noticed that and just started caressing Kiara's hair, picked up his phone and called his Assistant Jack and ordered him to block all the news of Kiara if any appeared and asked him to be on alert.

Not knowing anything about the matter Jack just went along with the plan of his boss wondering what could be the reason for his boss to react this way.

.....

After reaching home, Stanley carried Kiara all the way gently even though she was awakened and stopped near her bedroom and asked her to fresh up and go to sleep. Kiara who was sleepy simply nodded which made Stanley chuckle and kissed her in the middle of the forehead.

Later that night when Stanley was preparing to go to bed he heard a knock on his door and wondered who it might be because everyone had slept by this time. When he opened the door, he saw Kiara who already had donned her cute kitty pyjamas and was standing like a small child.

" Stan, I want to sleep with you. I can't fall asleep in my bedroom. " Kiara pouted her lips as if complaining to him.

" Come inside. You do know that what will happen to us if grandpa sees us at night sleeping in one room baby. " Stanley just acted as if to reprimand her but was filled with joy as it had been a long time since they both slept together.

" I don't know anything. All I know now is to just sleep in my boyfriend's embrace. " saying that Kiara dragged him by his hand onto the bed deciding to sleep together. Stanley hugged the tiny little human being in his hands in the bed and started caressing her back to let her sleep peacefully. Kiara just snuggled closer to him.

" I Love You " muttered Kiara tightening her hold on Stanley. A smile spread across the face of both and Stanley whispered into her ear " I Love You too baby, Sleep well. "

.....

As the morning rays of sunshine slowly crept through the glass window, Stanley was the first one to wake up with Kiara laid on his chest, the slow rhythmic breathing was like a music to his ears. Stanley gently kissed her on her tiny little nose. He didn't get up the whole time and just observed her face reminiscing about the time when she was first found.

Flashback :-

After finishing his meeting in the early morning, Stanley Emerson was returning to his villa. But on the regular highway he was travelling, due to an occurrence of an accident he had to take the abandoned road.

But as soon as he drove past, he saw a girl lying on the road in a complete disheveled state where the girls clothes was torn at certain places and her hair was sprawled with her head and hand had stopped bleeding and she was frozen as ice.

Upon closer look, The girl said to him "Save me " and raised her hand in hope but she couldn't keep up another second and fainted. Stanley was utterly shocked seeing this, he held onto her hand and had tears in his eyes. For the second time in his life, his mind went blank after seeing the love of his life who he had loved unconditionally for his entire life was lying in front of him in a completely sorry state.

Stanley immediately lifted her up and rushed her to his home informing all his family members. Grandpa Emerson who was once a renowned military doctor gave Kiara a immediate treatment and decided to take her to America for further treatment and to keep Kiara safe from everything running around in the country.

Kiara's condition was so serious that it was impossible for her to even recover and had been in coma for about 7 months until she woke up and remembered nothing but her mother. She feared everyone around her other than Stanley. Probably because Stanley was the last person she saw after the incident, If any one other than him, went near her, she would shout " go away, please " and cried all day suffering from serious anxiety and panic attacks if she tried to remember what happened to her. It almost took 6 months for everyone to normalize and Kiara started showing improvement. She started initiating small conversation with everyone and slowly got habituated.

Seeing her stabilized condition, No one dared to talk or ask what had happened to her, but they all convinced her that she got into an accident when she was driving a car rashly.

Soon enough, Kiara accepted the reality and started feeling comfortable and happy around them and didn't dwell into what happened to her and enjoyed her present.

......

Reminiscing about the past, Stanley still had a void in his heart about what had she experienced that she was this terrified, he was reluctant to part with her even for a second. Fortunately, All his friends and family saw her as a little treasure and looked after her.

She was so ethereal in her sleep, she just laid on his chest. When Stanley heard the soft breathing, he just promised to himself that he would forever cherish and make her life fill with happiness.

Kiara slowly stirred and woke up. Looking at Stanley, who was gazing at her, a smile crept on her face.

" Good Morning, Stan " Kiara smiled at him, Stanley smiled a little and kissed on her forehead before muttering a good morning.

Both of them stayed like this for a while, without bothering about anything, and got up only after they saw the time. They both parted with a hug and went on to get ready.
