Ava's pov

I swiftly walked inside the airport, pulling the small bag of clothes and necessities I had with me. My mind was in a frenzy, confused whether what I was doing was right or wrong.

But I had come too far already. It's now or never. I can't stay like this anymore. Without knowing who I am.

And although my intentions weren't wrong according to me, I couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving Draco and Lia behind. They both took care of me when I needed someone the most.

I knew it wasn't fair for me to be with Draco, pretending that we were in love. No matter how much I tried, I just couldn't someone without knowing myself. And Draco deserves so much more than that. So much more than me.

But what is right for me to just leave him in the middle of the night with nothing but a note. Even though I didn't love him that way, Lia and him are still my family.

Shit!

At that moment I realised that I should probably go back. This thing wasn't right.

But all my thoughts left at that instant, when I saw Adam standing infront of me, wearing a black shirt with folded sleeves and two buttons opened at the top.

He was intently staring at his watch. But just as I was about to approach him, he looked up and sighed. And I could tell, it was a sigh of peace. Which is why the sigh was immediately followed by a beautiful smile.

"Hi," I said in gentle tone, not knowing what else to say

"Hi," he replied with the same smile as before.

"You came," he stated.

"I had to."

And just like that, there was silence between us. Complete silence. And in those moments we were just staring at each other, as if trying to memorize each other's features.

And when the silence prolonged too much, he extended his hand towards me,

"Let's go."

"Where?" I questioned. I foolishly came here without knowing where we he was taking me. He could probably take me somewhere unknown and kill me without anyone knowing.It was high time I asked this.

"Home," he said

"Home?"

"Yes home, your home Bree"

And just like that I was reassured. Why? I don't know

I placed my hands on his, ready to go with him

"It's Ava"

"I know"

------

It has been quite some time since we were here. Adam had bought two business class tickets for us. There were not many people here, which is what I liked so much about it. There was peace here.

For some reason, there was no conversation between us. Part of which I was thankful for, since Adam gave me time to adjust around him

But it had already been long enough. And wasn't he supposed to like...freak out or something. After all, he is basically seeing his 'dead wife' reincarnated.

I turned towards him, watching him have his meal as I questioned,

"When I said you to call me Ava, you said..you said you know.What did you mean by that?"

He sighed as he slightly ran his tongue above his lower lip.

"Bree. Sorry Ava. I...I went crazy the past couple of days. I always thought that if...if I would get one more chance with you, just one more, then I would never let you go. But I walked out on my own from the hospital that day. Not waiting for you to wake up. Because of what you told me. And after that, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Couldnt stop thinking about life favoring me despite all I had done.
And even though I went crazy, I could sense something wasn't right here. So I asked my assistant to get any information she could about you. I am sorry my love for what I did."

I know I shouldve been angry at the thought of him running background checks on me. But I knew where he was coming from. If I was in his place, I would probably do the same.

"It's okay"

"I am still sorry."

"What all did you find about?"

His expression turned sour as I asked this. I knew whatever he learned about broke his heart for sure.

"About you. Your life with Draco. Your memory loss. Everything"

"I...I don't love Draco," I spoke out. I don't know why I said that. Maybe because my heart ached seeing him this way, although it ached at the words I spoke too.

His face immediately lightened up by my words.

"But he is still very important to me. And I'm learning to love him."

Adam didn't say anything. Just looked at me, maybe expecting me to add something more.

"I...I have been living with him for the last two years. He has given me a home. And a family to love. Lia. Lia is our daughter"

"Daughter?"

"Ya. She is not my biological daughter. But still I love her like my own. And in the last two years, never did I feel like she was not my daughter"

He looked away from me as I said that. I knew everything was breaking his heart, but he was trying his best not to show it

"Adam. I don't know whether I'll ever get my memories back"

He let out a huge sigh as he turned back , giving me a gentle smile.

He moved a little forward to place a small kiss on my forehead.

"We can make new memories love."

"I just...I just can't start a life with you like that. I came here to know more about myself. Not for giving you a chance. I'll go back. I know you expected more. But Draco and Lia are my present. I am sorry"

"Your happiness is what matters to me. Whatever you want sweetheart. But I will not once stop showing you how much I love you. Because I want an us. I want a chance to make you happy. The chance I lost once upon a time."

"Okay"

I didn't know what else to know. I had explicitly told him I was learning to love Draco. And his response was that he wanted a life with me. And although I knew it wasn't possible, I didn't want to break his heart by saying anything else.

"Okay," he replied.

"Okay," I said again foolishly

"Okay," he mimicked me.

"Stop," I laughed, pushing him a little

He just smiled as he said, "sleep love. We have a long journey ahead"

------

Adam was now driving us to a place he called home.

It's already been an hour since the plane landed. And although the journey was long, I didn't feel tired as I practically slept through it all after my conversation with him

I was intently looking out of the window, trying to remember any place from here. But I felt nothing. Nothing at all.

We had finally reached our destination when Adam parked the car and we both walked out of it. I looked around but something told me that I have never been to this place before.

He took hold of my hand and brought me in front of a house with beautiful exterior. If I would build a house of my own, this was what I would've wanted.

It was a large house, but not extremely large for it to feel like a hotel rather than my own house.

"We are home sweetheart," he whispered as he was about to the open the door of the house

If this was home, why didn't I feel like it?

I know many of you are angry on Sabrina/Ava. But think of it from her view, she doesnt have any clue of who she was, who her family was,what she used to do. Ofcourse when she got a chance to know about her past, she was bound to take it

I hope you guys can see it that way

As for Draco. I'll include his pov in the next chapter.

Bye. 🥰💕
