Chapter 271
Jonathan’s POV
Rollings Designs
I was back at the office and busy reviewing some files involving the collaboration between Rollings and Harmon Designs.
The first project got my attention.
It was clear this was more than just a collaboration between two designer houses.
The designs were clearly for couples.
A laugh escaped my lips.
It was clear when Veronica sketched them p>
She had someone dear to her in her eyes, someone whom she loves more than her life.
The designs were from her paintings she made over the years.
She infused them with my designs.
Each one was clearly made with love.
I studied them carefully,
Each design held a dear memory.
Then my eyes stopped at the name at the end of the sketches.
I exhaled.
Veronica Rollings.
A habit all painters have, to write their name on the bottom side of the painting.
And if a married woman began her career after marriage, she will use her husband’s surname as that’s the surname she uses.
“Veronica Rollings p>
“Not Veronica Harmon, or Veronica Harmon Rollings p>
“Only Veronica Rollings p>
I froze as reality hit me hard.
Suddenly a severe pain hit my head again.
Again I saw the image of the woman in my dream.
My heartbeat quickened.
I looked at the sketches.
Out of intuition, I removed a sketchbook from the drawer.
I flipped the pages and stopped at a sketch.
It was the wedding dress I saw in my dream.
“I made this p>
“But who’s the woman in my dream p>
“Why is she wearing it p>
“And why do I see her standing in front of the fireplace at Rollings House p>
“As far as what Vance said, I haven’t had any party over there p>
“Then p>
“The collection I made with Veronica are couple-themed p>
“Her sketches are clearly filled with a love story p>
My emotions were overwhelming.
“How can you deny all this p>
I closed my eyes as tears rolled down my cheeks.
Suddenly I had a flashback:
Veronica is standing beside me as I was making a bracelet.
She is smiling as I was making the bracelet.
“Our bond is like this bracelet, fragile yet strong p>
“As much as what Imelda is saying, I will make you all tell the truth p>
I picked my phone and dialled a number.
“Veronica, can you come over p>
She agreed so I waited.
As Veronica entered, I felt like a warm energy surged within me.
“I wanted to talk about the collaboration p>
“Do you want to close it p>
“Close it?” I asked, shocked.
“Why do you say that p>
“Imelda called p>
“She says, me being around you is p>
“I called you regarding the previous collections,” I said, cutting her words midway.
“I want to create a new collection, same theme as the first collection p>
“What?” Veronica was surprised on hearing my request.
“Why another on the same theme p>
“Why not p>
“Because we decided to make every collection unique, that way it would mean more than just jewelry p>
“Of course you won’t remember and I am only the designer so p>
“Then a new collection,” I said again, cutting her words midway.
“But, you don’t remember anything p>
“And this collection p>
She trailed off a bit.
“It won’t have the same emotions as if you don’t remember anything p>
“Anything about us p>
Veronica froze as she looked up.
Just then Imelda walked in.
“What are you doing here?” I asked her the moment I saw her.
“I found out you’re speaking to Veronica about a new collection p>
“I came to tell, from now on you don’t have to make the collection with her p>
“You and I will, and this will be better p>
“As all profits will stay with Rollings Designs, instead of sharing them with Harmon Designs p>
“I’ll consider what you said,” she glared at Imelda.
“I’ll take my leave for now p>
“Jonathan, I know getting your memory back is important p>
“And this collection is a way p>
“I can help you on this and I’m your fiancée so p>
“Do you see this?” I said as I showed her a sketch.
“This is two hands holding one another p>
“In the design there’s a pull, but the bond doesn’t break p>
“Do you understand the design p>
“Do you realize that I and Veronica made this p>
With that Imelda stormed out.
“You say something and I find out something else p>
“Yet you say, ’you’re my fiancée p>
Just then the elevator safety alarm sounded so I ran out.
“Mr Rollings!” a staff member called out on seeing me.
“Mrs Rollings is stuck in the elevator p>
I quickly ran over and saw the elevator was midway and stuck.
“Quickly get the camera footage p>
I was shocked to see Veronica and Imelda were both stuck together.
Just then the firemen came and managed to pry open the door halfway.
Suddenly the elevator jerked.
The lights began to flicker.
They told them to reach up so they could catch them and pull them up.
But I saw Veronica lose her balance.
I immediately ran over.
“I’ll go inside and and help them up p>
I quickly jumped inside and quickly lifted Veronica up.
Then I went for Imelda but she pushed me and let the fireman lift her up, then I was also pulled out.
“Are you okay?” I could see Veronica was shocked to see my instinctive reaction.
“You’re asking me?” I asked worriedly.
“Are you hurt p>
“Jonathan Imelda yelled behind me.
“How could you save another woman over your own fiancée p>
“You went straight to lift her p>
“I demand an answer on this p>
I could see everyone’s confused look as she was lamenting around.
“The way you reacted with her, you should have done for me p>
“I’m your fiancée p>
“Why do I have to keep on reminding you p>
“You remember me, but you don’t remember our relationship p>
I stood still as she kept speaking.
“I may not remember why I did what I did,” I finally spoke.
“But don’t you know why I did…what I did?
“But don’t you know why I did…what I did?
“Take Veronica to the hospital,” I told the medic team.
“Veronica, I’ll come over soon p>
She nodded as the medic took her.
