Third Person's POV

Her mind went blank. Dr. Anderson kept on speaking, jumping from one topic to another but she couldn't really take a notice of it. They made their way to the door, where they were joined by Nathan who had just hung up. Dr. Anderson bade his goodbyes and left the pair in an awkward solitude. She looked him in the eye, confused as if searching for some emotion, a clue, anything.

He cleared his throat clearly feeling uncomfortable under her scrutiny.  She was indeed still quite dazed about all of it. It's so overwhelming. She thought.

"Charolette?" She snapped back into reality as a pair of strong hands shook her by the shoulders.

"I... I need a break," she broke down flinching away from his grip and making her way back to the bedroom. She heard footsteps behind her but she couldn't care less. She needed to go home. She needed her life, her body back. It must be some other Mia Kyle Dr. Anderson was talking about. How could it be her? How come she doesn't have any memory of it? Her dreams.... Were they related to this relationship?

Besides the first three years of college were pretty blur to her. According to her mom, she had an accident and lost her memory. That's when she shifted from New York to Miami. And the timeline matches. All these thoughts were creating a havoc inside her as she stuffed her bag with any and every piece of clothing she laid her hands on.

"What do you mean ' a break'?" He questioned standing at the doorframe of her room.

She turned to him weary eyed and visibly saw him tense up. "What happened? Is everything alright? Did Dr. Anderson say something?" His words had unknowingly clenched her heart. Did he love Charolette? Was I the one who broke him? Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel cheated? I need to find answers. She thought.

"Umm... No no, everything's fine. I ... I just need some time off," she said trying her best to remain cool.

"But why?" The nerve of this man! She thought.

"Look Nathan, I also really don't know why but I need to go. I need to find answers. I... I need to know if my mother knew it all and lied to me. I need my life back..." She couldn't hold back anymore. She broke down and silent tears streamed down her face. She hiccuped ," I ... I need myself. This... This is not me. I can't run around like some stupid office worker. I am dying inside. This is ... It's not what I worked so hard for," she sat on the foot end of the bed, wiping her tears as Nathan silently stood by the door frame too puzzled and shocked at her outburst. He wanted to hold her and wipe off her tears with everything inside him but was reluctant.

"I... I don't understand. What are you talking about?"

"I think... I am the Mia Kyle you... once  loved," she spoke hesitantly as his expression turned stone hard. He looked angry, almost as if he was violated.

"What did you just say?" He gritted his teeth.

"I am not sure. But the timeline matches and that's why I need to go," she stuttered instantly regretting the fact that she shared the truth with him.

He took long strides towards her and pinned her on the wall, his eyes red with anger and fire. "I swear I'll kill you if you say her name once more." His grip on her wrist was rough and the way he twisted her arm made her shriek in pain.

"Who sent you here, huh? My father? He found another way to play with me!? " Tears streamed down Mia's face as silent prayers left her parted lips.

She had shut her eyes completely. She knew he'd snap her like a twig if she moved. "Tell me!? Who sent you here?" He shouted which made her sob hysterically. He let her go pushing her to fall on the ground, only to turn around and say ,"You are dead meat if you do that once more," and with that he left leaving her like a mess.

She didn't have time to cry. She was scared, uncertain and helpless but she was a fighter and she knew that she'd find a way out. But she had to go back to Miami for it. She needed to get her body back first. Although she had no idea how she was gonna do that, she texted Charolette regarding her arrival and booked a ticket to Miami as she left for airport.

As Nathan walked in the garden of his mansion with Mia's hand in his,the flowers bloomed. "Is it just me or the flowers are actually turning in the direction we're going?" Mia questioned him totally confused as she looked at the roses and petunias.

They seem like ordinary bushes. She thought. Maybe she was over thinking.

"Maybe it's because they're jealous of your beauty," he said pulling her close to him by waist as she fake puked. "Ugh, when did you become so corny?" She chided snuggling into his chest as he laughed. "Well, I missed my girlfriend who refused to see me for entire two months because of her stupid exams," he taunted hearing a huff from her. It satisfied him.

"Well, I  barely managed to shower everyday. I didn't want you to see me like that! Dark circled and stinky. Besides exams are more important than you," she retorted earning a fake hurt expression from him.

"That makes the two of us," he grinned earning a playful smack from him. "What! I was busy with taking over the company and stuff." He smirked as they continued their stroll.

"This is so unfair. You inherit your dad's company and get to work and
... I'm still in college," she said pouting as he chuckled at her reaction.

"If you want a part time job as my personal assistant, feel free," he winked causing her to frown and blush at the same time. "You know I can't take orders, especially from someone with an inferior education than me," she said smugly patting herself mentally.

"I'm a billionaire!"

"No you're not. Your dad is," she simply stated as a surprised look covered his face. She gave him the 'oh come on' look and said," You are just a guy with a business degree who I am dating because he was persistent and somewhat sweet and handsome. "

"So it doesn't matter if I'm rich or poor?" He laughed as if mocking her. She frowned clearly not pleased with his tone but she knew it was hard for him to believe otherwise. She knew her intentions were pure and didn't feel the need to be offended.

"Well, you are smart and brainy, down to earth, caring and funny and of course you love me. How could I let go such a package!? With or without the company, you are bound to do good,"she smiled.

"Someone has been very calculative," he said pulling her close as there foreheads touched.

"But I am disappointed," he said seductively in her ear sending jolts of electricity and shivers down her spine.

"Why?" She tried to sound as innocent as possible but she could see the darkness in his blue orbs. The weather got cloudy suddenly, the clouds being as dark as his eyes.

"I thought I might be good at showing my love too," he said nipping her neck and marking her as his, possessively as she moaned. It had become a sort of reflex now. A year with this guy and they were still crazy for each other.

"Why don't you show me?" She slurred knowing that it drove him wild but that's what she wanted. He had drove her insane with just his whispers and she loved the effect they had on each other. The clouds thundered reflecting the incoming storm both outside and inside their bodies.
