The Heart Never Forgets
Jane Riley never thought she would see Daniel Logan again. Years after their painful breakup, she has built a life in New York, running a nonprofit dedicated to underprivileged children. But when Daniel—a self-made billionaire with the power to change her world appears in her life again, everything she thought she knew is shaken.
“Why now, Daniel?” Jane asks, struggling to keep her emotions in check as she stands face-to-face with the man who left her heartbroken. “You could have helped without showing up like this.”
Daniel, cool and composed, meets her gaze. “I’m here to fix what I broke, Jane. But I’m not leaving until I do.”
Their reunion is filled with unresolved tension. Jane, still carrying the scars of their past, is wary of Daniel’s motives. Has he come back for business, or is there something deeper at play? As the two are forced to work together to save Jane’s nonprofit, old wounds resurface, and buried feelings come flooding back.
But their love story isn’t the only complication. Daniel’s rival, Jonathan Pierce, sees Jane’s nonprofit as nothing more than a pawn in his corporate games, forcing Daniel to choose between his loyalty to Jane and his business empire.
As trust and forgiveness become the story’s heart, Jane is forced to confront the lingering question of whether she can risk her heart again. In the end, Daniel’s sacrifice to protect her nonprofit and expose Jonathan proves his devotion. Jane realizes his love never faded, and together they rebuild both trust and a future.
In The Heart Never Forgets, second chances are not just possible—they are powerful, healing, and everlasting.

Chapter: Chapter 15Standing there, shadowed by the pale morning light, was Daniel.Only this time, his expression wasn’t gentle.It was cold. Controlled.And in his hand… he was holding another envelope.For a long, breathless moment, I couldn’t move. The air between us felt charged, tight, and humming like the space right before lightning strikes.Daniel stood just inside the doorway, his hair still damp from the rain outside, the faintest sheen of sweat on his brow.He looked exhausted, like someone who hadn’t slept in days. But there was something else too, something sharper in his eyes.He held out the envelope. “You left this in the lobby yesterday,” he said quietly.His voice was calm, careful, as if he knew how close I was to breaking.I didn’t take it. My hands were balled into fists at my sides. “What’s in it?”He hesitated. “Documents from Pierce’s board. They might help your foundation.”His tone was even, but I caught the flicker of tension in his jaw, the same one that used to appear whenev

Chapter: Chapter 14My fingers trembled so hard I could barely hold the note.The words blurred as my tears fell onto the page, bleeding the ink into tiny blue rivers.The paper felt thin, fragile, like my entire world. My father’s hand lay limp beside it, pale against the white hospital sheet.“Dad,” I whispered, shaking his arm gently. “Dad, wake up. Please, wake up.”No response.His breathing was steady, but faint. The rhythmic beep of the monitor was the only sound filling the sterile air. I pressed the nurse call button, but my hand was shaking too badly to even hold it down.When the nurse rushed in, I stepped back, clutching the note behind me.“He’s fine,” she said after checking his vitals. “Just sleeping deeply. You should get some rest too, Miss Riley.”Rest. The word felt like a cruel joke.I nodded anyway, forcing a weak smile, and waited until she left before sinking into the chair beside him. My heart was pounding, my palms damp.He lied to protect himself.Who was he?Was it Daniel? Or P

Chapter: Chapter 13I dashed into the hospital, where the air smelled of bleach and worry.I pushed through the corridor doors, my chest burning from the sprint up the stairs. Every step echoed in my skull.My hands were shaking so badly I nearly dropped my phone. All I could see was that text burned into my mind.“Choose, or watch him die.”“Please, please,” I whispered to no one. “Let him be okay.”When I reached my father’s room, the world tilted.He was there. Alive. Breathing. But pale, his chest rising and falling in slow, uneven rhythms. The heart monitor beeped a tired rhythm, steady but weak. A nurse looked up from her chart, startled by my entrance.“Miss Riley…”“What happened?” My voice came out strangled.“He’s stable,” she said gently. “No change since last night. But someone left this.” She pointed to the pillow beside him.My blood ran cold.A single white envelope rested against his pillow, perfectly placed, as though someone had been careful not to wake him.I moved closer, each step lo

Chapter: Chapter 12I don’t remember walking home that night.My mind was too full, replaying my father’s words over and over, each repetition sinking like an anchor into my chest. Daniel knows… the truth about the accident.The accident. The one that broke my father’s body and left him clinging to borrowed time.The one I’d told myself was nothing more than a cruel chance. But now? Now the ground under me cracked wide open.And yet, I still couldn’t bring myself to believe Pierce was at the center of it all.It was too neat, too obvious. My gut said the truth was uglier, more complicated, and Daniel was somehow tied to it.The next morning, I buried myself in work. Or tried to. The office, usually my refuge, now felt like a trap.The eviction notice was still taped to the glass outside; I hadn’t had the heart or courage to peel it down.Inside, the place buzzed with nervous energy. Volunteers whispered in corners, throwing me uncertain looks.A couple of donors had already pulled out after hearing rumor

Chapter: Chapter 11The city blurred outside the cab window, neon lights smearing into streaks of gold and red. My pulse hadn’t slowed since I left the nonprofit.The envelope, the report, and the photo burned against my chest like poison I couldn’t spit out.Daniel.His name had been pounding in my skull the entire ride.My father’s weak voice in the hospital bed replayed over and over: Daniel knows… the truth about the accident.And then the photo I found—the crash site, the blood on the asphalt, and that blurred silhouette that looked too much like him to ignore.I wanted to believe he wasn’t capable of that. But every new piece of evidence pulled me closer to a terrifying possibility: maybe I didn’t know Daniel at all.By the time the cab stopped in front of the high-rise on Fifth, I was shaking with anger and adrenaline.Daniel’s penthouse loomed above like some glass-and-steel fortress. Cold. Impenetrable. Perfect for a man who’d mastered secrets.I stormed through the lobby, past the doorman who b

Chapter: Chapter 10I couldn’t shake my father’s words.He was there.Those three syllables had carved themselves into my skull, echoing every time I blinked.By morning, I was still replaying them in my mind, trying to convince myself I’d misheard, that his illness and medication had scrambled reality.But deep down, I knew he hadn’t been confused. He’d been terrified.And that terrified me.I skipped breakfast, my stomach too knotted for food, and went straight to the nonprofit office.The building felt different now. Every creak of the floorboards, every flicker of light carried a weight I hadn’t noticed before.I paused at the door, half-expecting another envelope taped to it, but this time it was clean.Inside, though, something was waiting for me.On my desk, lying like an accusation, was a plain brown envelope. No name. No address. Just sitting there.My throat went dry. My hands shook as I opened it.Inside was a single black-and-white photograph.The crash scene.Twisted metal. Shattered glass.
