Your Heart Didn't Recognize Me novel Chapter 7

7 /24

When it was dinnertime, a maid informed Kimberly, Keira, and Vincent that Frank and Melinda had reserved a private room at Montmorse Hotel. The three of them were to join them there.

Keira wanted to find an excuse not to go, but Kimberly forced her into the backseat of Vincent's car. On the way there, Vincent made sure to always respond to everything Kimberly said.

She said, "Vincent, let's go to Iropa for our honeymoon once we're married. I want to see the aurora and a fashion show! You have to take plenty of photos of me so that I can set different photos of myself as the background of your phone, tablet, and computer!"

He responded, "Alright. I'll seek out some photographers to refine my photography skills so that I can capture your prettiest side. Then, I'll develop your photos and hang them all over my office and study. That way, I can just look up and see you whenever I miss you."

"Don't go back on your promise, okay? We'll have plenty of photos to look through when we have kids in the future. We can show them everything we did together! Speaking of which, how many children do you want? Our son will look as handsome as you, but it would be better for our daughter to look like me…"

They chatted happily, seemingly having forgotten that Keira was in the backseat. She stared out the window at the scenery without saying a single word.

She'd fallen into a deep sleep on the day of Vincent's surgery to restore his vision, and she'd had a dream. In it, she was the first person he saw upon opening his eyes, and he never laid eyes on anyone else from that day on.

He was always at her side, and he frequently surprised her and brought her on dates to show her the world. He got on one knee and proposed to her, held her hand as they walked down the aisle, and held her and their children close as they took family photos.

In Keira's dream, she'd found a man who truly loved her for who she was, and she'd gotten a family of her own. It was too bad that everything had turned to dust the moment she'd woken up.

She'd tried hard to fight back against her fate, yet she'd ended up dying a horrible death.

The screech of brakes snapped Keira out of her reverie. She looked up at the sound to see a sports car headed right for them, seemingly having lost control. With a loud bang, their car rammed against a divider.

Keira felt like her body was falling apart. She was bleeding from her forehead, arms, and legs. Pain washed over her, and she felt like she'd been ripped in half. She could barely breathe through the pain.
