The door of the hut opened and the old man entered with a tray of food in his hand. He slowly walked to where Kimberly sat and dropped it on the table in front of her. Once he was done setting the table for her, he left the hut.
Immediately her eyes landed on the food, Kimberly subconsciously licked her lips, her mouth already getting watery.
How on earth did the old man know she was hungry..? She thought.
"Eat up," she suddenly heard from him.
"Huh?" Her head snapped towards him to find him already operating on his phone.
"Tha... Thank you..?"" she stuttered more like a question not minding how ridiculous she sounded. Don't blame her, she hardly says that words to strangers.
Looking at the food again, her pride instantaneously flew out of the window.
Fuck pride!
To Kimberly at that moment, hunger was a suicide mission..!
She quickly drawn the seat she was sitting on closer to the table and began devouring the food like a starved pig.
"Mmmmhhh.." Kimberly moaned as the delicious taste of the food filled her taste bud.
"Don't make that sound again..." she heard from him and she stared at him. Seeing the look on his face, she quickly averted her gaze and resumed eating her food.
"Mmh.."she mumbled.
Kimberly savored the food, her heart filled with joy. This was the first time in for the past few weeks that she was going to taste something as delicious as this.
After she was done eating, Kimberly yucked loudly and quickly covered her mouth, staring at him from the corner of her eye.
"Thank you... for the meal," she said slowly and Alex hummed.
If there was any word to describe how Kimberly felt at that moment, then that'd be great. Because different thoughts were swirling in her mind. With her attitude, one could have perfectly guessed the type of person she was yet he decided to help her??
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Alex stood up and stared at her.
"Since you are okay, I will take my leave.." Alex said and with that he left the hut.
Kimberly was completely taken aback, what does he mean by that..?
Wasn't he going to take her with him..?
Was she kidnapped...?
Immediately that thought hit her, Kimberly's eyes widened at the possibility...
"What...?"
She screamed inwardly running out of the hut...

~~COUNTRY Z, ROMAN'S MANSION ~~
Meanwhile...
"Cam...wait," Roman rushed Into the house.
Camilla jammed the door but he put his hand on the way. The door met with his hand, cutting into his skin and blood find its way out.
"Cam..." he grabbed her hand, before she could sit down. She stopped glaring back at him with tears pouring down her eyes.
Much to Roman's surprise, Camilla had surprisingly regained her memories and it was just in three days.
Wasn't it too fast..? He'd thought but who'd answer...?
"I didn't kiss her, I swear it...." Roman said.
"I saw it..! You... you were kissing her too," she yelled jealously.
"I didn't, she took me unaware. Cam.., believe me, you're the only one for me, the only woman I love and I will never kiss another except you," he said seriously
"Did you mean that?" She asked.
"Yes, I cross my heart, I'm sorry that you have to see that but I didn't do it.... " he stopped when she took his hand, her face sparkled with fear as she stared into his eyes then back at his hand.
"Did I do this?" She panicked
He shook his head negatively
"I tried blocking the door with my hand and..."
"I need to get you treated," Camilla said and pulled him over to the couch. Going over to their first aid kit which was placed on the counter.
She took it and went back to him.
Camilla began treating his wound while he fix his gaze on her face, admiring how beautiful she was.
"Cam..."Roman called and she glanced up at him, wrapping his hand with a bandage.
"You're beautiful," he said softly whilst taking the scissors from her.
"So beautiful..." Roman muttered staring at her closely in admiration. But however, Camilla's next question left him stunned.
"So tell me, why you came after me?" She suddenly asked.
"Huh..?" Roman was startled.
"What do you mean by that..?" He asked not wanting to consider what just ran through his mind.
She can't possibly be back to her grumpy mood... could she?
Roman thought wanting to know what could be running through her mind as he tried reading her mind but he couldn't. Well... he had expected that thou, but nevertheless it was somehow strange to him.
How can he explain the phenomenon of his mate changing into a different person within a week and few days..?
"Why did you come after me..?" Camilla asked again and Roman sighed.
Does he have a reason to after the woman he loves..?
"I just couldn't bear losing you..." Roman said sincerely.
"I mean... I mean I just couldn't sit and watch that demon treat you like that...." Roman was still saying when...
"You could have minded your business..." Camilla said and Roman frowned.
"As you can see I'm fine.." She nonchalantly added and kept the aid box on the table..
She wouldn't be able to forgive herself should anything happen to him which was a result of her selfishness..
She had always been the reason he had to face awful situations trying to save her...
"That's all you have to say..? what if that demon killed you..." Roman said taking his hand off hers.
"He wouldn't have been a demon if you hadn't barged in and ruined our moment.." she said earning a scoff from Roman.
Seems he was mistaken that things will be fine between them and at that moment, his caught her dressing. She was dressed in a yellow crop to and baggy pants.
"Going somewhere..." He suddenly asked and she nodded.
"It's high time I return back home," she replied not looking at him.
"Home? Why? Aren't you gonna spend more days here?" Roman asked, feeling hurt. He just didn't want her to leave his sight, not this moment..!
"We aren't married yet, remember?" Camilla said and he frowned.
So, that was it? Because they haven't gotten married..?
"I can't keep spending days here when I don't know what the future holds for us, Roman." She suddenly said.
"You should know I'm serious with you, Cam. I can never hurt you, I love.." Roman was still saying.
"Yes, I know. Why are you talking this way, it's not as if I'm breaking up with you.." Camilla said.
"Then Stop talking of breakups please... Cam.."
Camilla only smiled before she got to her feet. She walked to him and kissed him briefly. Then she carried her bag before standing upright. Some of her clothes were in his house so she didn't have to worry about them.
"Will talk to you later.." She muttered with a smile, leaving Roman dumbfounded.
