《An Heir's Forbidden Love》Ch23.
Advertisement
I am leaning against the wall in shock as Jace keeps on studying the necklace, he just called me princess. Does that mean he now remembers me?
"Where did you get this necklace from." He requested, his voice became arduous and his gaze hardened as if he is furious.
I don't know how to explain to him, I remember Jace telling me that this necklace belongs to his grandmother and that he has been planning to give it to the woman he cherish enough to marry.
"This necklace...how did you get it? Answer me." He whispers harshly and I cringe.
"I-I..." I shoved him away in alarm when I spot Cassie at a corner watching the both of us with something close to hurt in her eyes.
"Let me take a look at the necklace you're talking about." She says out of the blue.
Jace jerks his head towards her and watches as she makes her way to where we are. She tries touching my necklace but I jerk back irritation.
She studies the necklace for a while. "Oh my! I can recognize it anywhere. Jace this is the necklace you gave me before your accident." She turns to Jace who is now looking lost and perplexed.
I stare at Cassie in awe as she told him the smooth lie, just when I assume I now know her enough to predict her next move, she keeps on surprising me more.
"If truly I gave you this necklace then why is it with Sasha?"
"I told you before your accident that this necklace is missing, I kept it in the drawer in your room but couldn't find it right after..." As if solving a piece of the puzzle, she turns towards me swiftly and points a finger at me. "...right after you came to tidy up the room."

I gasp with my mouth hung open in shock, okay now I'm really shocked. Is she accusing me of stealing what was mine in the first place? I'm marveled at how she is manipulating Jace and confusing him more merely because he lost his memories.
"Did you really steal this necklace from my fiancée Sasha?"
I'm speechless, did Jace just ask me that? Jace is accusing me of stealing what he gave to me and it hurts, it hurts so much but I'm not going to give Cassie the pleasure of seeing me cry in front of her. A single teardrop from my left eye as Jace removes the necklace around my neck but I quickly wipe it off. I didn't wait to see him wear it around Cassie's neck, instead, I turn around and sprinted out of the house. That's it, I can't take it! I have to leave this house.
Cassie is telling a lie.
She has a smug look on her face as she watch Sasha sprint out of the house. I'm sure I didn't give Cassie this necklace, if I did I would have asked her to promise me never to remove it. She said she dropped it in a drawer in my room, I know that is a lie and I don't think Sasha is the kind of girl who can steal something that doesn't belong to her. According to what Ash told me, she has been working as a maid in this house for years now and if she really stole the necklace as Cassie said, the first thing she is going to do is to sell it. There are a lot of diamonds on it which I'm sure will make a fortune when sold but why did she choose to wear it around her neck instead?

Another thing is that this necklace has always been around her neck since I have set my eyes on her but I didn't pay more attention to it or even remember that it's mine. So why is Cassie now claiming that it was stolen from her? She is absolutely telling a lie.
"Can you wear it around my neck now?" Cassie asks in excitement as she parks her hair to a side and turns her neck to me eagerly.
All did was pocket the necklace and walk out of the house, I need to clear my head. I can't forget the look of hurt that flashed through Sasha's eyes when I removed the necklace from her neck, it keeps on replaying in my mind as I made my way to my car. What is everyone not telling me?
I sprinted directly to Ashley who I'm sure has been watching what transpired earlier, I broke down into tears in her arms.
She clasps my hand in hers and drags me to the fountain at the back of the house, we both take our seats on the bench by the fountain.
I place my head on her shoulder and cry till there are no more tears to shed.
"Don't worry Sasha, I have a feeling that my brother will soon regain his memories. Be strong till then or do you want to give up now?"
I didn't say a word, I just nodded my head at every comforting word she whispered. She doesn't have to know that I'm leaving this house soon, I can't do this anymore. The necklace has been one of the things that have been keeping me going and giving me hope, I look at the necklace in the morning when I wake up and at night before I sleep and I remember Jace telling me how much he loves me. However the necklace has been taken from me and given to someone else, I see it as Jace giving his heart and love to someone else.
Even with his memory loss, Jace still doesn't like me. He is trying to hide it from me and everyone but I know. He thought I didn't see him kissing Sasha right after he almost admitted that he isn't sexually attracted to me but I saw them, he was kissing her with a lot of emotion. He kissed her in a way he has never kissed me before, I'm hurt and jealous. Sasha is still standing in my way of getting Jace and I have to do something about it. Jace may lose his memory but he isn't a fool, he will keep on doubting me as long as Sasha is still in this house.
"Ace," I say with a smirk plastered on my face the moment he picked up my call.
"Hey, babe." He mumbles with a drawl.
"When am I going to get it? I think I'm going to need it soon." I can't wait to get my hands on it, I'm so going to teach that girl a lesson.
"Meet me around 12 am at our usual spot tomorrow."
"Be expecting me then." I hang up in excitement and call my mom to update her since she is the one who gave me the advice I'm following now even though I disagreed with it initially.
