Chapter 268
Vance’s POV
Rollings Designs – The next day
“Mr Vance,” Jonathan’s assistant greeted me as I entered the building.
“How’s he doing p>
“Well, he picks the track slowly, but when he gets the headaches p>
“I feel we’re pressuring him p>
“Are we doing it the right way p>
“Don’t worry p>
I slowly walked inside and saw Jonathan running his hand through his hair.
“What’s the matter p>
“Can’t you see?” he said frustrated.
“Nothing makes sense p>
“So much has changed over the years p>
“First of all, look at this,” he said pointing to his calculator.
“Before it was only a calculator, now it has a doodle pad too p>
I smiled as he spoke.
“And I can’t access my own desk…laptop p>
“When did I change my desktop p>
“It’s been nineteen years, lots has changed p>
“About the access p>
“Don’t worry, let me fill you in,” I said as I sat across from him.
“What password are you using p>
“Obviously Imelda’s birthday and our anniversary, but none are working p>
“Oh, I tried my birthday as well p>
“Type small alphabets nov space twenty five p>
“Hey, it opened p>
“What date is that p>
“A very important person’s birthday p>
“A important person p>
I realized Jonathan really had forgotten who Veronica is.
And telling him outfront it’s his wife’s birthday, considering he thinks Imelda is his fiancée p>
I can’t.
I exhaled.
“Your laptop is open, that’s what matters p>
“Just don’t change the lock p>
“It will affect John’s sync p>
“Why would I p>
I began by telling him about the works going on at Rollings Designs.
Then I took my chance and told him about the River inheritance.
I could see Jonathan was disturbed as he didn’t realize he forgot so much.
“I can’t believe I forgot about the inheritance p>
“So what do I have p>
“Well, all of it to be precise,” I explained.
“The River land, the jewelry house, assets, and the River vault p>
I noticed he listened carefully as he took notes, something he never did before.
Was he afraid he would forget again?
Then I talked about the Rollings House and the Rollings inheritance.
“Yes, the Rollings House is more than a house p>
“It protects your River inheritance as well as the River vault is… there p>
I saw him struggling.
“Why can’t I remember all this p>
“You will in time p>
“Don’t force yourself p>
“You are the living River lineage and now you and your family carry the responsibility as well p>
“Damn, how can I remember all this in time p>
“If I don’t…I don’t want to imagine how many people will be affected p>
“There is also the River Treaty you need to know p>
“The River treaty was created decades back by your maternal grandfather p>
“The jewelry houses were fed up of the robberies p>
“So the River vault was created and the houses placed their assets there for safe keeping p>
“They have been kept safe till date p>
“The admin of the treaty has access to the vault, and governs them as well p>
“You…are the legal River admin now p>
“As the admin you are responsible to protect the interest of the families, houses that have their assets in the vault p>
“I control all of that p>
“Yes, and this the sooner you take over…back, the better p>
“How could I forget such an important matter p>
“I will be responsible if anything goes wrong p>
“But I don’t remember a thing p>
“Jonathan, you are the legal admin, that’s a fact, but don’t rush yourself on these matters p>
“Vance, isn’t there a way I can get these memories faster p>
“There’s so much at stake here p>
“I can’t waste time like this p>
“Jonathan, the doctor said don’t rush, if you miss things, you’ll forget them forever p>
“What? The River inheritance? The River vault? Or the Rollings House p>
“So what p>
“At least others won’t suffer cause of me p>
I knew what he meant, but not remembering them meant he would not remember Veronica and Joshua.
That can never happen.
“Honestly, Vance,” Jonathan asked.
“What happens if I really cannot remember p>
“It doesn’t matter even if you don’t p>
“You are the legal heir and legal admin p>
“The legal records exist p>
“The people around you are with you, except Imelda, and Fredrick p>
“She’s my fiancée p>
“You will remember soon on that too p>
He looked at me with pinched eyes.
“Don’t worry, I can’t rush you, but I will help you remember all that you need to p>
He exhaled..meaning he was relaxing.
“You’re not alone in this, we all are with you p>
“These are some documents you told me to gather before the accident p>
“Before p>
“Yes, I think you suspected something p>
“Matter of fact, you sent an envelope to me, John and Daniel p>
He studied the documents.
Each page carried a part of his life, that by the looks he couldn’t recall at the moment.
They were related to his business, the inheritance, the treaty, and most important…Family.
“The family page is missing p>
“I know, I’ll show when I feel you can p>
“It’s only Imelda, Janet and Adrian p>
“What’s there to hide p>
“I know, still trust me p>
“That I do p>
I could see he was frustrated whenever I dodged the family part, but I had to as at the moment telling about Veronica was not a good choice.
“Rollings House,” he suddenly said.
“I want to go there p>
“Sure, let me make time, and I’ll take you p>
“But the details are in the document p>
“I know, but I want to see it personally p>
“If I lived there, maybe going there may trigger my memory p>
“The apartment has been turned into a suite and bought by someone, so I can’t go there p>
A lie we all told him to not go there.
I was worried that if going there, he would remember Veronica p>
How would he feel he forgot her and remembered Imelda?
“Is there anything I should know about before heading over to the Rollings House p>
“Like who lives there as I’m living with Imelda at Harmon Mansion p>
“A very important family member lives there p>
“Family member p>
“My mom died when I was a kid and was sent to an orphanage p>
“Where did this family member come from p>
I wondered if he saw Veronica at home, would he remember something about them?
“I’ll go on my own p>
“That won’t be a good idea p>
“Vance p>
“I can’t live on like this p>
“I have to find the missing fragments and fast p>
“I keep feeling a part of me is far from me p>
“I don’t want an escort p>
“And they are my memories, I have to get them back p>
“Okay,” I agreed as I knew Veronica would handle the situation.
I sat as I saw Jonathan leave for Rollings House.
I hoped seeing Veronica there may give him a shock and trigger his memory.
