The Confession

Once the couple saw me, they greeted me and asked "Are you here to see Marina?" I smiled smugly and said " Marina more like Emma. Actually I'm here to see you.". They looked shocked and Mrs Daisy finally spoke up "What do you mean? Her name's Marina. Who are you?"

I suddenly pushed her to the wall and said "Lie again and I will have you killed. Start talking. " She immediately broke down in tears. "Okay", she agreed. She began narrating:

"Four years ago, my husband and I were returning from the grocery store on a cold and dark night. I am sure you're wondering why on a dark night but it was my birthday and he had promised that after work, we would go shopping for cake ingredients. He returned from work very late so we had to go at night. Just then, we saw a young woman lying on the streets and we immediately rushed to her. She jumped away from us in fright but accidentally jumped to the road and was hit by an upcoming car. When we rushed her to the hospital, we discovered that there were many bruises and scars on her body.

Before she went into a coma, she kept repeating someone's name, erm.... Jeff. Yes, that was it. She said she would never forgive him for what he did then she blacked out. After her plastic surgery and skin treatment, her face and body was as good as new. We told the doctors that she was our daughter-Marina, and we paid all the bills which cost us a fortune. We decided to raise her like the daughter we never had.

Six months later, she regained consciousness and we found out that she had lost her memory. Therefore, my husband and I seized the opportunity to tell her that she was our daughter and had forgotten all about us due to her accident to which she believed. She eventually became an actress and has lived with us happily these four years. My question is who Jeff was".

I coughed after listening to the story and decided to come clean. When they heard my explanation, Mr Daisy screamed at me "How could you believe a friend over your family? You treated her badly. Just pray she doesn't remember anything about her useless brother or else she won't forgive you. Never! Not after all that torture". I wanted to teach them a lesson for shouting at me like that but I knew it was my fault. "I have spoken to her already. She won't hate me even if she remembered me", I said confidently.

The couple simply shook their head and told me to stay away from Marina if I didn't want to cause any trouble. I went back to the hotel, lay on my bed and started blankly at the ceiling. My sister had gone through a lot because of me. I needed her to regain her memory. My head began to ache, then I began trembling and shaking then I blacked out.
