Marianna’s POV~Two weeks later~Why does it feel like I have died before? Even after living as Marianna Crowns for two weeks, I couldn't bring myself to believe this was the life I had lived.Every day, I prayed earnestly for my memories to return.Alexander also tried to help me regain my memories by making us take walks in paths he claimed we had always walked together, eating at restaurants he claimed we had frequented together, but nothing returned.Today, I stared at my reflection in the mirror as one of the maids applied makeup on my face.“How long have you been here?” I asked.She paused, taking her hands off my face and standing with her head slightly bowed, hands carefully placed at her front.“Almost a year, ma'am,” she responded.I turned my face to her slowly. “How long have I been married to Alexander?”“Six months, ma'am.” She replied.I turned back to the mirror and took a deep breath. Everything proved that Alexander Crowns is my husband and I'm his wife. The wedding

Alexander's POV.The whole space reeked of medicine and blood. The stench of antibiotics clinging to my nose.I stood with my arms crossed, watching the unconscious lady in front of me as the machine beeped slowly beside her.A male doctor stood by her side, examining her with a chart in his hands.Her hands moved and her eyes fluttered open shortly after.“Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?” The doctor asked, examining her once again.I watched in silence until she was made to sit on the bed.She looked confused, unable to say a word.“Where am I?” She asked the doctor, her eyes moving around everywhere.When I picked her up from the cold floor last night and brought her to the hospital, the doctor had said she had hit her head hard and there was a risk of amnesia.“This is a hospital. Do you remember anything that happened?” The doctor responded.“If you have confirmed that she's okay, leave the room” I said coldly. “I will do the questioning”The doctor bowed slightly, leaving th

Marianna's POV.The next morning, I still laid in bed, pretending to sleep until Drey left for work.When he was gone, I stood up and grabbed my phone.There was a message from Vivian.“Hey, Anna. Good morning. Did you check the photos? It's not what I'm thinking, right? When you wake up, call me”I called her like she had requested, the phone ringing for a while before she picked up.“What were you thinking?” I started.“He's not cheating on you, is he?” She asked, her voice raised and croaky.“You must have misunderstood” I lied with a chuckle. “It was just a business outing”Vivian went silent and I could tell my friend was not convinced. “Are you sure?”“Of course. You should hurry to work before you get late, you must be busy”“You had something to tell me yesterday. What was that?” Vivian demanded.I went silent for a while, contemplating whether to tell her or not, but I knew I shouldn't. I should solve this alone.“It's nothing. I just wanted to chat with you, it's been a whil

Marianna's POV.My heart ached, feeling like it could shatter into pieces. I never expected this from Drey. Three years ago, a few months after we got married, my parents died in a car accident.Both of them didn't survive it. I was left with the company but I was too inexperienced to take over so I had Drey do it.Putting the pieces together, I realized he had known the secretary before I introduced her to him.I made him who he was today but he had been cheating all along. None of what we had was real, and now I'm carrying his child.I turned my face to my stomach, caressing my belly while tears blurred my vision.My baby is in danger. Drey will have us killed tomorrow.Will anything change if I tell him about the baby? No, it won't. I had been a standby right from the start, someone meant to be used and discarded.“You can turn the tide, Anna,” something in me whispered. “It's never too late to be in control of this game”I moved out of my hiding place and walked towards the stairs

Marianna’s POV.“Congratulations Ms. Lauren. You are pregnant” The doctor said with a smile on her face.I stared at the test results in disbelief. “Anna Lauren. Two weeks pregnant”I had been feeling sick for the past few days and decided to come for a check up.“Am I truly pregnant?” I asked, voice shaking slightly.It's been three years since I've been married to my husband, three years since we desperately wanted a child and now, I'm pregnant!“Thank you doctor. Thank you so much” I said breathlessly before standing up, the metallic chair scraping against the ground.“Make sure to come for prenatals regularly. This stage of your pregnancy is crucial, we need to stabilize your uterus” she said.I could barely understand her but I nodded with a wide smile. I just can't wait to leave and inform Drey, my husband, about it.“I'll take my leave now, doctor” I bowed slightly and walked out of the office, clutching the results in my hands like it was my lifeline.“Pick up, Drey” I prayed
