Chapter 255 - Post Hynoptic Recall Amnesia

Jake looked at Kyle confusedly, what did he mean by he doesn't remember?

"What do you mean by you don't remember?" Jake asked, his expression was inscrutable and his eyes were deadpan.

Kyle looked up at him and sighed, "I actually don't remember anything after that. It's the truth" He told him.

Jake was still at a loss. Kyle wasn't making much sense at him.

"I still don't understand you. How can you say you don't remember? What happened to you after the massage?" He paused and sighed irritably. "Fine, how did you get home? Tell me anything you do remember" Jake demanded in an annoyed tone. He didn't know what game Kyle was up to by spewing such nonsense about not remembering anything. At least there must be something, anything at all. Anything that could help.

Kyle didn't miss the disbelieving look Jake was shooting at him. He wouldn't believe it either had someone else been telling him this. But what was he to do? This was the actual truth, he didn't really remember what had after he laid on that massaging table, until that very moment he woke up to seem himself and Hillary on the bed and Henry barging him on them at the same time.

"I only remember waking up nak....with Hillary on the bed and dad walking in. But I don't remember anything other than that. There has been a huge gap in my mind and I can't seem to fill it, this is the truth" He said, desperately hoping for Jake to believe him, but deep down he knew his dream was far fetched.

Jake sat quietly as he continued to look at Kyle stoicly. There was no form of expression on his face as he tried to analyze and assimilate all that Kyle had just said, or rather what he was trying to imply.

After few moments of silence elapsed, Jake finally spoke up.

"So you're trying to say your brain was hacked? You suddenly had selective amnesia which was targeted at those few moments, is that what you're trying to say? Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?" Jake asked lividly. He didn't believe any of the rubbish Kyle had just vomited from his mouth. No matter how he thought of it, it didn't make sense.

"I know it's hard to believe me, but I'm not lying. I can't remember and that's what I have been trying to say all these years but you won't listen, no one would" He wasn't complaining or blaming anyone. He understood why they had acted that way. He wouldn't listen too had he been in Jake's shoes. Even he didn't know what happened to him, atleast until now.

"I really don't remember anything. I don't remember leaving that spa, and I equally don't remember how I got home or into father's room in the first place or...." sleeping with Hillary he wanted to add but he couldn't. From the look Jake was giving him, it looked like Jake was about to rip his head off or something. His eyes had suddenly turned deadpan and his countenance was grim.

"Kyle this isn't some game right? How do you say you don't remember being in the house? Are you trying to say you weren't caught in bed with the wife of the man you called father?" Jake demanded in an angry tone. He looked at him in a way that dared him to deny it or say otherwise. To deny that he hadn't be caught having sex with Hillary. Was that what he was planning to do? Was that what this all thing had been about?

Kyle looked away from Jake's angry face, he could see the anger in his eyes, "I'm not saying that, but what I'm saying I can't remember doing anything like that. I've thought hard about it, but I can't remember, and I've been looking for answers since then. Intially i thought i was drugged so I could be found in such a position. I went for multiple drug tests to prove it, but the results were clean, it wasn't until recently i found out the truth"

"Which is?" He asked skeptically, as he shot Kyle a scrutinizing gaze.

"That I have post hypnotic recall amnesia" He announced.

Jake suddenly narrowed his eyes at him, and asked, "What is that?"

"It's a situation when an individual doesn't recall the events that happened during hypnosis" He explained.

"Let me get this right, you're trying to say you were hypnotised?" Jake asked with incredulity. "Because I think that's what you're trying to say. Is that it?" He tilted his brows at him.

"You don't believe me"

Kyle could guess what was going through Jake's mind, he didn't believe him. This was what he had been trying to explain to Jake and the others on the day of the incident, but no one heard him out. And Jake had suddenly asked him to leave the country and never show his face in front of them. And he had only returned when he finally had proof of what happened, but Jake had been so angry and had beaten him up.

"No like hell I don't!" He snapped at him. "Give me one reason why I should believe you. No, tell me why anyone would hypnotise you?" Jake demanded angrily.

"I dont know" Kyle equally snapped back. " I don't have a reason, I don't know why she would do that to me" And by she he meant Hillary, because it was clear it was her handy work.

"Haven't you ever wondered why dad returned back from the office so early? It was unlike him, everything about that day was entirely unusual. From Dad's awkward behavior, leaving me with Hillary when we had a meeting, Hillary suddenly being nice to me and offering me a spa treatment, waking up on Dad's bed with her....nothing felt right.

Nothing makes sense till now. I wished I could tell why I was hypnotised but I can't. I still don't know. But one thing I know is something happened on that day. Hillary did something to me, but why and what she did I'm yet to find out" He paused and sighed.

"I don't know how else to convince you and I can't simply get the truth from her.. But that's all I know" Kyle told him.
