Chapter 26
( Hidden Truth But it’s complicated)
“Piper Aurora Walker” Raiden said, Kalani turned around staring at him as if he suddenly grew horns… Collins stepped on the brakes immediately which made the tires squeak loudly.
“What did you just say ?” Collins asked.
“I knew about your feelings for her. Oh common I’m a guy, I know how guy’s act when they are around people they love. I’m just curious about one thing” Raiden said, brushing his hair with his hand.
“Curious” Kalani mumbled.
“Who is she to you ?” Raiden asked.
“She was my girlfriend before she lost her memories” Collins explained.
“Which year was she your girlfriend? Because it had been long she lost her memories” Raiden asked.
“During our high school days” Collins replied, resting his on the steering wheel.
“Wow, it’s been a long time,” Kalani mumbled. ” I wasn’t born during those times” She pouted.
“Why didn’t you come to look for her? Do you know how many sleepless nights she’s having because of you? She cries most of the time because she wondered who her past boyfriend was” Raiden scolded.
“I couldn’t because I thought she was dead,” Collins muttered.
“She wasn’t — but I saw how she was burnt alive” Collins cut him off snapping out at him.
“Explained how the event was, ” Raiden asked…
“Years ago, Aurora and I met in high school and we became lovers. After dating her for three years I started knowing more about her because she doesn’t like disclosing her matters to people, even though we are dating already.
I got to know she was staying with her mom’s friend in light of the fact that it was on her own request to stay with her mom’s friend. Her mom’s friend daughter was her best friend who happened to be Nurse Grace at Montero Private Hospital — “Hold on, do you mean Nurse Grace is sister Grace, my sister’s childhood friend” Raiden asked with widened eyes. Collins nodded,
“Oh my gosh,” Raiden screamed.
“What happened ??” Collins asked.
“My Mom lost contact with her mom ever since that incident. We were staying in California but Piper was staying with Nurse Grace mom’s in Mexico City…. ” Raiden explained, rubbing his face.
“I was living in Mexico City because that was where my mom and dad built their mansion. The fourth year of our relationship was when things went to the other side. Collins sniffed in between his words and continued,, She suddenly got a call from her mom in California. So she heard no choice but to go and visit. But something unfortunate happened that day.
I wanted to get my driver to drive her to the airport but she insisted that she was going on her own due to how she was rushing that day. She forgot her phone. So I had no choice but to head to the airport.
Immediately I got there, I saw a taxi on fire…
“What made you believe she was dead?” Raiden asked, fighting back his tears.
“I gave Aurora a pendant and a wrist chain on our third year of our dating relationship, But I found it on a body that happened to be among those who were burnt. The body was putting it on the gift I gave her.” Collins sobbed.
“It wasn’t Piper… We didn’t know who the person was because we didn’t know she had a boyfriend before the whole incident. I will also explain why she got a call from California all of the sudden” Raiden cleared his throat.
“Piper isn’t single — what do you mean ?” Collins cut him off.
“What I mean to say is that Piper has a twin sister,” Raiden snapped.
“What ??” Collins exclaimed.
“Yes, I was told her twin sister got misplaced since birth. But she was later found at an orphanage. We gave Piper a call about the whole situation and she decided to come home” Raiden paused.
“Did she know right from childhood that she has a twin sister ?” Collins asked.
“Yes! But she thinks her twin sister is dead; maybe that’s why she didn’t bother to tell you” Raiden explained.
“She should have told me things like this.. Where is her twin sister?” Collins asked.
“She couldn’t take the news to heart when the doctor explained Piper’s current condition to her. So she decided to go back to the orphanage in the meantime” Raiden explained.
“She went back to the orphanage,” Collins stuttered.
“Yes. So right now we need to make sure Piper gets her memories back so that we can know who has her pendant and who set the taxi ablaze” Raiden furthermore.
“I know who set the taxi ablazed ” Collins muttered.
“Who did it ?” Raiden asked gritting his teeth.
“Adams, did it” Collins replied.
“I will have my vengeance on him.” Raiden muttered.
“What do you want to study ?” Collins asked.
“Criminology” He replied.
“You are my role model already” Collins smiled out tears.
“We had to explain who we were to my sister when she lost her memories. Because she forgot everyone including her name” Raiden chuckled.
” She forgot everyone ?” Collins exclaimed.
“Yes! , she did,” Raiden mumbled.
“This is serious,” Collins exhaled, igniting his vehicle.
” And I think it’s high time you win her back because her college ex-boyfriend is coming back. And I’m very serious with my words, Alex is obsessed with her. He’s obsessed with my sister” Raiden muttered.
“Alex?? Who is Alex for goodness sake” Collins muttered, gritting his teeth.
“Her ex-college boyfriend,” Raiden snapped.
“I need to ask fast,” he thought, increasing the acceleration speed.

Piper jumped on her tattered happily.
“I found myself being drawn to him most of the time. One of my memories became clear earlier. I still can’t believe he was once someone I dated. This is so exciting” She thought, rolling from side to side of her bed.
“Don’t tell me you are in love with your boss ?” her inner mind question.
“I don’t know, what if I’m in love with him?” She replied and gasped loudly.
“Oh My God, I’m in love” She gasped loudly, hitting her head.
“What’s wrong Piper ??” Mrs. Walker asked, staring at Piper from her room entrance.
TBC…
There’s a lot of things Piper needs to clear. But she has not even recovered fully.
