chapter seven- No Way!!

Mandy's POV

Shortly after, we arrived in the office. My head is still bursting with pain after everything that has happened.

"Please take a seat, Sir and Mam?" I told them as I pointed to the seats in front of my work desk.

"Oh, thank you so much dear. But please call me Cilla, short for Priscilla since it's too long!" She said while slipping into her elegantly.

"And this is my husband Anthony." She continued as she pointed to her husband who was now sitting beside her.

"We just want to say sorry for what happened back there. We are also taken aback by what he said, clearly you are as confused as us based on the reaction you had in the room. We too, as his parents, were also confused!" Anthony began

"Is he ok, doctor?" Priscilla asked me.

"Actually yes, Physically he's ok now. His injuries are healing at a rapid pace and his body responds well to the treatment. But we need to conduct some laboratory tests on him after that only,  we can tell you what happened to his memory!" I answered them without any form of hesitation in my voice trying to reassure them that their son is fine.

"We just wanted to make sure if you really are not his wife? Did you two get married in secret?" Anthony asked me once again and I shook my head vigorously.

"Ohh .. sorry but I don't know your son. Actually I met him in the restaurant five days ago. That's my first time meeting him but me and him in a relationship? Nope!" I told them honestly.

"Did he ask you for a date?!" Priscilla asked me out of nowhere. I swear I almost jumped from my seat after hearing what she said.

"Me?" I pointed to myself " oh no we are not even speaking terms to begin with. I don't have any sort of relationship with your son. I promise you that. You can ask my friend about it!" I said to them as I kept telling them the truth.

"So what happens then? What will we do about it? He keeps on telling us that you are his wife. This mix up of memories he has is getting more complicated than we thought of earlier. Can you help us?" Anthony asked me and I looked at him.

"Of course I will do my best to help him, Sir. Especially bringing back his memory!" I told them in all honesty.

"Thank you for that doctor. But what I am trying to say is that. What about him claiming you as his wife? What can we do about it? He keeps asking for you! And we don't know what to say to him!" Anthony said helplessly worried about his only son and his condition.

"Honestly I also don't know!" I told them honestly.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Priscilla asked out of the blue.

"No.... I don't have any!" I answered her but with a look of confusion withered on my face.

"I know this is beyond your job. But can we ask you to play along and just pretend that you're his wife for now? Till his memory comes back? Please?" That almost made me choke my own spit for a moment. I didn't see it coming. But I saw how sincere she is and she's pleading with me .

"I am sorry! But I really don't know!" I said while I gave her sympathetic eyes.

"How about thinking about this for now. Take a while If you ever change your mind, please don't hesitate to tell us what you want. I can give you anything in exchange for this. I know how hard it is for you to do this!" Anthony said to me trying to negotiate.

"Isn't it unfair to him? We are basically cheating on him. I don't want that. If he gets his memory back. How can I explain it to him?" I asked them.

"Then what if he will never remember that he doesn't have a wife?" That made me panic silently. Oh no please don't let it happen.

"Please doctor Mandy, think about this. We badly needed your help on this. My heart shattered seeing him like this. Please we will do anything you ask to compensate for everything. Please don't hesitate to say something or demand!"They said to me before they left the office leaving me confused alone inside. How can I solve this mess? I asked myself.

Then a sudden knock on the door brought me back from my thoughts. Marrialle came inside and looked at me worriedly.

"Are you ok?" Marrialle asked.

"I don't know! His parents asked me to play along to him and be his wife for the moment. But I can't stomach the idea. I mean this is cheating the reality. And how am I going to act as his wife when I don't even know him in the first place?" I paced around the office rambling on and on about the situation at hand. And came to the conclusion that as of now, I can't think straight. I am on the verge of crying because of the situation I am in.

"Yeah! But if you look at the bright side my friend. You are one lucky girl. That guy is so handsome, rich and yummy. Isn't he a good catch? A perfect husband material for you!" She said while clapping her hands. And I looked at her as if she's gone crazy.

"I swear Marrialle, if you say one more thing I am going to punch you. How could you think something like that? Are you crazy? I really want to cry right now. How can a girl, who never had a boyfriend, get a husband in just a blink of an eye? If this is a dream please wake me up cause I might lose my sanity because of this!" I said as I can't stop my tears from falling on my cheeks.

"Oh... don't be like that. I have something to say. Come on, cheer up". She said

"What?"

"I'm pregnant. I am going to be a mom soon. heheheh... and of course you are going to be godmother." She said while she's beaming with so much happiness and love clear as day in her eyes.

"Congrats best friend. I'm so happy for you. Did you already tell Mark about this?" I asked as I hugged her.

"Not yet! I want to surprise him!" She said, giving me a big smile.

At least one of us is happy! Because right at this moment, I feel like my world just split into two. How am I going to untangle myself from this mess?

Alexander POV

I just don't understand why all the people around me didn't believe me. What hurts the most, even my own wife doesn't believe me! It breaks my heart into pieces and I feel like I am dying from too much pain in my heart.

I want to hold her and kiss her since I missed her so much. But how can I do that? When she can't even look straight into my eyes? Most of all she looked at me like I am a complete stranger to her.

I wanted to tell her how beautiful she looks in her white coat. When she assisted me back there. I can't seem to take off my eyes on her since she looked so fucking sexy and beautiful. Especially on how well she treated me.

Right now I have been looking at the door a hundred times since I was excited for her return. She said she will come back. What's taking her so long?

"Hey big bro.. How did you two meet?" Lucy asked me. I didn't even realize she's still there. Because all I can think of is my wife.

"I don't know... I don't have any memory. I just know she is my wife. Cause I have memories of her together with me" I told Lucy.

"Really? Are you sure she's your wife? Not one of your girlfriends? FYI, you have a total of five girls who came here and claimed you as their boyfriend. Hilarious! Those women are pitiful!" She exclaimed throwing her hands in the air dramatically.,

"What? I don't have another woman in my life. I love my wife so much. And please Lucy, don't tell my wife about those women who came here. I don't want her to be mad at me. Hmmm did she see them? I mean those girls?" I asked nervously.

"Nope, she didn't see them. But big bro, I don't think she's your wife. Every time she came here, she never referred to you as her husband. She's just your doctor. That's all!" Lucy said to me.

"No! I can assure you that I am telling the truth Lucy. Why can't you all believe me?" I exclaimed in desperation.

"But big bro... I don't really don't think she's your wife! I knew your type. You like those girls that flaunt their bodies like it's nothing. That doctor, she seems to be very timid and reserved. And also you don't seem to be her ty...pe!"

"Lucy stop ok? You're hurting my feelings here. She's my wife. Can you help me get out of here? I am going to look for her!" I told her as I cut her off. Since I don't like the way she said that I am not my wife's type.

"Oh no! Absolutely Not! Mom and dad ordered me not to let you out. You just came from surgery and you need to heal and rest. Also look at the things attached to your body? How can you move it?" She said to me while pointing at those.

"Then can you just go instead of me? And tell my wife to come here cause I already miss her!" My voice almost sounded like a whining child.

"I can't bro! Who else will take care of you here?" She asked me.

"I can perfectly take care of myself. No need to worry about me. Just get my wife for me cause I am dying to see her!" I told her.

"Come on! Just let her come again here on her own. Maybe she's busy because of her work. She's a doctor, remember! And also don't be so clingy big bro!"

"I don't care about her work. We own this hospital anyway. And she's my wife. I can get clingy to her any time I want cause she's mine!" I told her possessively.

"I can't believe this is happening. My big bro is getting corny and cheesy for his wife!" My sister said while suddenly bursting into fits of laughter.

Just then my parents came back but I noticed my wife was not with them.

"Mom, where's my wife?" I asked my mom as she settled herself in front of me.

"She is still working, son! Remember your wife is a doctor and she has many patients to attend. So you need to understand her!" My mom said..

"Shit! Does she have a boy patient mom?!" I asked my mom.

"Don't know son! But why are you asking?" She asked me back.

"What if she has someone else, mom? Maybe that's the reason why she doesn't want me anymore!" Just when I said those words I felt like my heart was being stabbed.

"Son.. what if she doesn't want to be your wife" dad asked

"No way dad! I won't let her! She's my wife. I won't let her leave me!" I told him angrily.

"Then how come we didn't find any documents that can prove you are really married to her? I told my secretary to look for a marriage license that is registered in your name. But there's no results!" My dad said to me and I frown.

"Dad, why can't you believe me? I am married to her. I can promise you that. Please dad, don't do this to me. I am married to her and she's married to me. Please don't say something like that!" I pleaded with him as I was almost on the verge of crying when I said that.

"Then how come she denies your claims. If she's really your wife then she should be here together with you!" He said to me trying to prove a point.

"Then let me go and I will get her. There's no way I am going to sit here and wait for her. If you can't help me then let me get this out of my body. I will personally get her myself!" With that said I pulled off all the things that attached to me.

"Shit!... Son calm down ok? She promised us she will come back. Can you wait for her to come back?" My dad said as he held my arms.

"No! I have this feeling that she will not come here unless I get her by myself!" I said angrily to him.
