Is it possible to fall in love with your husband over and
over again, every day for the rest of your life? Alicia soon finds out what
really matters, and that life can be so much more amazing when there is someone
to love!
Alicia Swan-Hudson is a kick ass attorney. She’s managed to
build her firm from the ground up to be one of the most sort out firms in the
country. Alicia has never shied away from a fight, and when needed she can be
brutal, not only in court, but as a boss. But lately she’s becoming worse. Not
only do her senior partners want to throw her out of her own company, clients
are threatening to leave. They’re worried that Alicia is losing it, and soon
Alicia is beginning to feel the same way.
She’s been having headaches and memory loss, and as time
goes on she becomes more aggressive, leaving them with no choice but to try and
get rid of her. Her husband, Spencer is of no hope. The investment banker was
on the verge of divorcing her, she was just too much for him to handle until
some news changes their lives forever. Spencer begins to realise again just why he
fell in love with Alicia!
Excerpt
Hi
Alicia. It’s me, Spencer, your husband. I’m sure you’re freaking out right now,
but don’t. Everything is okay. You’ve just lost parts of your memory. I’m not
sure there’s an easy way to say this, but you have to know why you don’t
remember much. You were diagnosed with a brain tumour a few months ago. It’s
taking away your memory, your long term memory. You’ll be able to recall this
event, but by tomorrow when you wake up, you’ll have forgotten it. But don’t
worry. I’m here to help you through this every step of the way.
Beside
you is a laptop. It’s just beside the bed. I’ve left it on for you to explore.
I’ve created a facebook page for us, so that every single day, it will remind
you of who you are, and friends and family will post and do the same. If you
take a moment and just have a look, it will give you an idea of who you are.
Once you’ve opened the page, switch this back on and I’ll guide you through it.
I
love you.
Spencer
She lay there for a minute
taking this in. It was weird hearing that she was married and that she was
losing her memory. It was scary. Finally she sat up and picked up the laptop.
The page was already set. She switched the recorder back on. It was lucky that
she was still able to read, but that wasn’t guaranteed to stay. The first page
was a facebook video. Alicia clicked on it.
‘Hello!’
It
was her mother. ‘It’s me, mum. Spencer
asked me to record this and tell you just how important and special you are. We’ve
managed to put a little video together of you as a little girl, so here it is.’
The video started with
pictures of Alicia as a baby. There were so many of her. She smiled slightly at
some of the funny ones. There were pictures of her and Monica, of her and her
father, which explained that he’d passed away. There were pictures of her as a
teen, first boyfriends and graduation.
‘You
are such a smart woman with a sharp tongue.’ Her mother said. ‘You built
yourself up and created your very own law firm. You’re so special and I’m so…Priscilla
began to cry. ‘You’d tell me not to cry
right now.’ She laughed.
Alicia smiled and felt a pang
of sadness even though she couldn’t remember any of this. ‘You are amazing and you continue to be so.’
‘Yes
you are, you’ve always kicked my ass, told me to stop being a victim and own my
own life. I love you for that sis.’ Monica joined in. ‘You are my hero! I love
you.’ Monica began to cry. ‘And don’t tell me to stop crying!’
Alicia laughed lightly and at
the same time a tear drizzled down her cheek.
‘Anyway
I’m a strong woman because of you. But now it’s time for Spencer to take over.
It was his idea.’
Spencer
came on camera with his big smile and beautiful green eyes. Alicia liked him
already. ‘Not that you deserve a superhot man like him!’ Monica pulled her
tongue like a child would.
Alicia laughed and snorted at
the same time.
‘Hi
honey,’ said Spencer. ‘Yes I’m the husband. The man who serves you hand and
foot.’ He laughed. ‘You are honestly the love of my life. You’re very hard to
please, so I hope this is making you smile somehow. I’ve uploaded a few
pictures of us and our wedding day. Take a look. I hope you enjoy it.’
