CHAPTER 114: THE MAN FROM THE AIRPORT
Author’s Note: Hi guys, this is the author shamelessly dropping a note to address the change of the writing POV because I think since the FL does not have her memories with her telling her story for her would be better. Thanks for supporting the book. I appreciated it.
THIRD POV
2 YEARS LATER
Inside the crowded airport, some passengers could be seen trying to get to their boarding gate, some exiting the boarding gate while some passengers were seated waiting for the flight to take off.
“Flight going to country K has been canceled due to…..” the airport was heard broadcasting and a different complaint was seen flying around as the people were trying to show their displeasure to the situation but amid the situation a sight that could not go unnoticed strides.
A beautiful lady with wavy brown hair walked through the airport with her elegant steps and the people couldn’t help but stare at her in amazement.
She was dressed in black pants accompanied by a leather jacket and sunglasses to go with it. She looks like a model on the runway.
The lingering thoughts in their everyone’s mind were who she was and some people think that she looks awfully familiar. So familiar!
“Oh my goodness, Gina,” I asked you to wear a cap,” a lady says behind the beautiful lady rushing to her with a cap in her hand.
The new lady was also a beauty but her beauty did not come close to the first girl because she was Georgina Grey. The country’s first love.
Oops, maybe she is not that anymore. She is now Georgina Carter. The heiress to the Carter group, a leading group in country K.
“What are you saying, Tori? Why do I need to wear a disguise, it’s not like I have anything to hide, or do I?” Georgina asked, looking at the frustrated Victoria but the lady just smiled.
Maybe she was right, she has nothing to hide because she does not remember a thing about the past.
Yes, he was just like before Georgina has lost her memories again after undergoing surgery and she does not remember anyone or anything this time around it took her a long time for her to start trusting people which gives her Aunt and Victoria a lot of headaches.
“Excuse me, but are you by the way Georgina, Georgina the actress,” the man with sunglasses asked and Victoria panicked seeing that her fears were coming to pass but she was surprised by Georgina’s words.
“No, I think you are mistaken. I am no actress but an heiress to a conglomerate group,” Georgina says, flicking her arrogantly and the man excuses them saying that he made a mistake.
“Looks like I am too pretty today that I was even mistaken for being an actress,” Georgina says with a smile and Victoria smiles weirdly knowing that was the truth.
She was an actress.
“We should go now we still have to prepare for tonight’s ball,” Victoria reminded and Georgina groaned. “Don’t be like that isn’t your dream to meet your prince charming and……” Victoria trailed off seeing that the girl she was talking to was not replying and she saw that she was staring at something and when she trailed her eyes she was shocked to see him walking towards them.
The mighty Bradley was walking towards them in all his glory and Victoria felt like walking away. What odd thing is that they ran into him the first day they came back to the country.
Victoria watched as how smitten Georgina was with the man and her eyes almost bulged at her socket when the man walked past them without saying a thing. Like they were strangers.
“He is handsome!” Georgina whispered, turning to look at Bradley who just walked past her and Victoria gulped in panic seeing the situation and she quickly urged the woman to let them go.
She has never seen a beautiful pair of gray eyes like that before. He looks so ethereal.
“It’s weird to gawk at a man like that,” Victoria warned, sighing in relief, that the man did not cause trouble for them but Georgina shook her head. “No, that’s not true I can gawk at him so far he is not married,” Georgina says and she stretched her neck to see if there was a ring on the man’s finger and she was relieved to see none.
That’s quite alright. She still has a chance.
“Tori, I think me and that gentleman are going to meet again,” Georgina said with determination and Victoria was shocked thinking that the girl remembered some fragrant past.
Georgina walked out of the airport with Victoria dragging her since she couldn’t stop staring at Bradley’s retreating back.
Bradley’s steps halted immediately he noticed that intense gaze boring into his back was gone and get couldn’t help but be tempted to turn around.
“Have you been well?” Bradley mumbled and his heart ached knowing he hasn’t been in contact with her for 2 years because that is what he promised her Aunt.
He promised the woman that he was not going to find her first. The truth is after some weeks after Georgina’s disappearance he looked for her and he found out that she underwent the surgery but lost her memories.
She has already been adopted as her aunt’s daughter and became Carter’s heiress so he does not want to snatch that life away from her. She has already been through a lot so he wanted her to be happy.
His eyes followed him until she got out of the airport and he sighed heavily.
“I think we really need to go but I think we would be seeing Miss Brown again,” Bradley says and his assistant creases his eyebrow, not understanding.
“Looks like she is still the same mischievous girl from before,” Bradley chuckled and he resumed his steps.
He has missed her desperately over the years but he decided to hold onto her promise. He was not going to force himself on her this time and suffocate her but he also did not know when his patience was going to run thin.

“For the umpteenth time Tori, I don’t like being here,” Georgina whispered into Victoria’s ear while they made their way into the already booming gala party and they could hear the sound of merriment.
“What did you mean you don’t want to be here? Is this not the reason why we traveled down here?” Victoria asked, eyeing the mischievous girl and Georgina hisses.
Yes, the reason they came to the city that Georgina was unfamiliar with was because her mother pleaded with her to attend the party in her stead and she accepted willingly.
“Yes, I know the reason but I actually accepted to come because I want to escape my mom’s surveillance, you know how protective she could be and also for someone reason I just want to be here…. I mean this city,” Georgina says with a smile on their face but she noticed that a lot of people in the hall were giving her weird glances.
“Tori, did you notice a lot of people are looking at us…me to be precise,” Georgina muttered clueless wondering what was going on but her thoughts were suspended when the host of the party walked up to her
“Hi, Miss Carter I am glad you could make it,” the gist greeted Georgina and the lady smiled politely at the pot-bellied man that looked like he had some hair implants done.
After the man was fine exchanging greetings with them he went to greet other guests.
“It looks like the man’s hair has undergone a few touches up, right Tori?” Georgina says and she turned around to look at Victoria but she was shocked to see her friend staring at the handsome man in confusion.
Georgina wondered why her friend was looking disturbed and when she decides to ask her friend what was going on the man beat her to it.
“It’s been a long time, right?” Douglas asked looking at Victoria, who wished there was a hole at the place that she could bury herself into.
“And you are also here Gina,” the man says and that raises a question in Georgina’s mind wondering if she and the man have had an encounter before. “Do I know….” Georgina was about to ask but she stopped when the man grabbed Victoria’s hands. “You are coming with me,” he says to Victoria but Georgina prevents Victoria’s movement by grabbing her second hand.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“What are you doing, Mister? How dare you try to bully my friend?” Georgina asked, puffing in anger and she wondered if being handsome warranted the man to be rude.
“Wait here he is going to get you too but as for this one she is going with me,” Douglas says coldly looking at Georgina but Georgina was not backing down.
She was not going to give him her friend because he was good-looking…. was the use of being good-looking if you don’t have manners? Georgina’s words.
Georgina that was currently battling with Douglas heard people whispers and when she looked at the site the people were looking at she was stunned.
It’s the handsome vampire of earlier!
“It’s the man from the airport!” Georgina exclaimed pointing at Bradley that just walked into the hall and the people were surprised to see how she reacted seeing Bradley.
Georgina that was preventing Douglas from taking Victoria unconsciously pushed Victoria to the man as she composed herself and walked towards Bradley.
A lot of people were surprised at the lady’s boldness seeing how she was able to approach the man without fear and they all thought that she was going to death even though she was once a popular actress they knew Bradley would not spare her.
“Hi,” Georgina waved happily at the man that
“Wow, seeing how we meet again, I am sure that we are destined together,” Georgina muttered, smiling brightly at Bradley and the man’s heart skipped a bit.
They were really destined to be together.
