The day after I got engaged to my boyfriend, his best friend locked me up. He smiled as he unbuttoned his shirt, stepping closer with each passing moment. "Mich, I'm your true destiny," he said, his voice low and menacing. As I struggled to resist, I lost my footing and tumbled down the stairs. When I woke up, all my memories were gone. The handsome stranger standing before me noticed my confusion and kindly offered an explanation. "You're my fiancée, but you cheated on me," he said.
View More"Boss, there is a female officer who wants to see you urgently, but she hasn't got an appointment. Do you want to see her or not?" Adams smiled. His bright eyes were brilliant with delight.
"Who is she?" Edward raised his head to look at his assistant. He couldn't recall knowing any female military personnel from his past. "What does she want?" He said as he focused on the papers again.
"She didn't say anything but she wants to see you immediately." Adams grinned at his boss teasingly.
"Really? She must be very confident to demand to see me with such short notice. Let her come in." Edward started to become curious about this woman.
The female officer whose name is Daisy Rowland, was a little nervous as she tried to pacify herself. She was not sure whether he still remembered her or not. She was already nervously rubbing her palms together as she waited for the CEO. Nervous as she was, Daisy never forgot the words that he shouted to her on their wedding night.
"You won't have me even if you married me. You are just my wife as stated on a piece of paper. My heart and my love will never belong to you. You drugged me in order to have sex with me. How dare you! I promise I'll never let such a thing happen again!" The man said angrily.
He left with the sound of slamming doors. Daisy felt completely lost and embarrassed at the same time as she didn't know anything about giving drugs. She just remembered that she slept in his arms without any clothes, body aching. The man accused her of these things she knew nothing about. What happened then was unclear in her thoughts.
What happened that night was too blurry for her. She could only remember feeling hot and helpless, unable to move. Maybe she was drugged too. Over the past six years, Daisy had to deal with hearing gossips and rumors about Edward including his affairs with his many girlfriends and female stars. Worst, she would hear from the news whom he was dating or sleeping with.
Despite all these, she never contacted him. His words were forever stuck in her head, she could not forget when he said that she was only a nominal wife. Whatever happened to him was none of her business. Actually, it seemed as if he had already forgotten her for a long time. She would not find him if there was no unexpected situation like this one. Both of them were victims of their family interests. It seemed that this marriage had a price to pay.
"Mommy, you're hurting me." The little boy interrupted his mommy's thoughts as he tried to squirm out from the tight grip of his mommy's hand. Daisy got lost in her thoughts for a while and didn't realize she held her boy's hand too tightly.
"I'm sorry, Justin. I was thinking about something that happened before." She squatted in front of the boy and whispered to him. This little boy was her son. She never thought that she would get pregnant after that night. Thanks to his genes and excellent skills, she now had this charming baby boy. Justin was Daisy's life and she would not know what to do if she ever lost this boy.
"It's all right, I'm fine, mommy. What's wrong? Is it my Daddy? Did he refuse to meet us?" Justin asked with a soft voice. He looked at his mommy with bright eyes.
"No, honey, your daddy is a little busy so we will wait here until he is ready." She explained patiently. She hid nothing from her son about his father. Although he always asked why daddy does not live with them, he never really asked his mommy to find him.
"Madam, our boss is waiting for you." The staff member treated her with respect. She thought that there was something so familiar with the boy. But she couldn't remember whether she had seen him before.
"OK, thank you!" Daisy politely replied. Then she quietly left. She looked very serious and stern wearing army uniform but she also looked even more charming in it.
She could hardly hold back her excitement. Over the past six years, she tried to pacify her feelings and gave up on this relationship, however, she still felt nervous whenever she would see Edward.
She was getting everyone's attention because people had never seen a female officer in this building. Dressy celebrities and famous female stars were regulars.
"Madam, this way please." Edward's secretary ushered her in. Daisy was evidently nervous as little beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She clenched her hands tightly while she held her son's hand. Justin felt his mommy's emotions, he didn't remind her although he felt the pain as his mommy tightly held on his tiny hand. He had the same feeling as his mommy. He was not sure if his daddy, the man he always saw on the Internet, loved him too.
The secretary knocked on the door and a deep voice answered,"Come in." Daisy initially thought that she would panic if she heard this deep, familiar voice. Much to her disbelief, she was unexpectedly calm but she still tried her best to not look intimidated by the man in front of her. Edward looked at her with a straight face. He thought that Daisy looked stiff and pale but definitely looked every inch a charming lady.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't find better ways. Please take care of my son for 3 months. I will pick him up as soon as I finish my mission." Daisy said as a matter of fact. She uttered these words without looking at him.
"Wait a minute, Who are you? What are you talking about?" Edward was so confused thinking why he would take care of a little boy whom he did not even know. He noticed the woman in front of him could not look him in the eye. He was still so confused.
Although Daisy didn't really expect him to remember her, she was still hurt that Edward did not even have a clue. She remained still and handed him a marriage license.
"I will answer all your questions when I come back, but I'm in a hurry right now." She explained. Before she left, her mobile phone rang with a loud military song that echoed throughout the big office.
She picked up the phone quickly. "Hello, Mark. I know. I will be back soon. You can contact the army to get their location." She hung up the phone. Her words were firm and clear as much as her feelings.
Edward froze for an instant. 'Why? Why was this woman ignoring me? No one can resist my charm, am I not that attractive?' he thought to himself.
"Justin, I should go now. Please behave and do not give your daddy a hard time." Daisy gently touched her son's face. Her son's nanny resigned at a time when she needed to go for her military training at the army. She could not find someone to look after her son in a short time. Otherwise, she would not have sent the boy to his daddy.
Justin looked at his mommy and wanted to say something to comfort her. "Mommy, don't worry! I will be a good boy." He replied with a sweet smile. But Justin was up to something. He already made a plan to teach his daddy how to be a good husband.
After saying goodbye to her son. Daisy ran out quickly without even waiting for Edward to respond. Edward still was not able to recover from the shock that the boy was his son. He only stared at the marriage license on the table.
"Daisy Rowland," he murmured. She was the woman who was married to him for six years. She was the wife that he never missed. She came and went, just like the wind, leaving the little boy with him.
My face flushed with anger. “You shameless scumbag! You’re a monster!”He ignored me. As soon as the car stopped, he dragged me toward the villa by my wrist. I struggled against him, but he scooped me up, carried me inside, and threw me onto the bed. He ripped my dress down.He sneered, “Keep yelling—why’d you stop?”I kicked and scratched at him, trying to break free. He fumbled as he tried to pin down my legs and arms, looking almost ridiculous, though his voice remained harsh and wild. “Didn’t I tell you to be back by six? Why can’t you listen, huh?”“Let me go! Get off of me!”“I asked you why you didn’t listen to your husband, Mich. Now stay still!”I bit down hard on his arm, making him grunt and loosen his grip. I immediately kicked him off me and bolted toward the door. In my frantic attempt to escape, I misstepped and fell back onto the floor, looking up at him in horror as I scrambled away.He stared down at me, giving a cold snort. He loosened two buttons on his shirt
As he placed another shrimp on my plate, I put down my fork, wanting him to eat something too. But the utensil slipped from my hand, and when I bent down to pick it up, I saw his face—pale as a ghost.He leaned in close, his eyes bloodshot, suddenly yanking down my collar."Ah!" I yelped in shock.One by one, revealing marks covered my skin. I realized what he'd noticed and turned my head away in shame."Who did this?" He grabbed my wrist, shouting like a madman, "Who did this to you?! Was it that bastard Zachary?!"His yelling frightened me into silence, my eyes squeezing shut as tears spilled down my cheeks. He continued to curse, his rage uncontained while I simply let my tears fall.After a moment, his entire body trembled as he pulled me into his arms, his voice rough and broken. "I'm sorry, Mich, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I know you didn't want this... you didn't want this, right? I shouldn't have yelled."I wasn't sure what to say.He cupped my tear-stained fa
"What do you mean 'also'?" His face grew serious. "You only have one fiancé—me. We grew up together, and I've liked you since high school. Right after we graduated, I confessed, and you said yes. We got engaged just a month ago, but then you suddenly vanished."I felt a chill run through me. "Then who is Zachary?"Michael's gaze darkened. "He's my friend. Have you been with him this whole month?"I nodded, forcing myself to recount everything that had happened. Of course, I left out what happened last night.As I finished, fury flared on his face. "Zachary! That bastard! We posted so many photos together on Instagram, showing off our relationship. He must have secretly saved them, photoshopped the pictures to replace himself in my place. The moment he knew you lost your memory, he used those photos to manipulate you. He's probably had his eye on you for ages!"He pulled out his phone and showed me pictures on various social media platforms. Many of the photos looked just like the
I grabbed his hand, sobbing, "I don’t know… I feel awful. Help me, please take me to the hospital..."He chuckled softly. "But it’s so late. The hospital’s probably closed by now. How about... you wait until morning?""I can’t… I really can’t wait," I whimpered, unable to hide my distress."Is that so?" He tilted his head, a sly smile spreading across his face as he leaned in, gripping my wrists. "Then let me help you, Mich."The moment his lips touched mine, I stared wide-eyed in terror. Realizing what he was doing, I immediately struggled, but it was no use.Even at my best, I wouldn’t stand a chance against him—now, with the drug weakening me, I was completely powerless.My frantic resistance must have looked feeble to him because he only grinned and continued his assault."You look so beautiful tonight," he murmured, ignoring my protests. "I spent a long time picking out that dress just for you. And it was worth it... you look just as tempting as I imagined."I cried out in
So, I refused to sleep in the same bed as him. I ended up staying in his room while he went to sleep in my old room.I lay awake deep into the night, my mind racing with thoughts about what to do next. I knew I couldn’t stay here any longer. Just the two of us alone in this place, with him clearly interested in me—it was making me increasingly uneasy.Early the next morning, with dark circles under my eyes, I told him my plan.“I’m going to move out. I’ve been imposing on you for too long, and I’ll pay back the medical expenses once I’ve saved up enough.”I still had a few thousand saved up. It wasn’t much, but it would be enough to get a place and make it through the transition.He glanced at me, his eyes narrowing as he traced the rim of his coffee cup. His voice was calm, almost too casual. “You’re sure about this?”I nodded. “Yes.”“Alright. I’ll find you a place.” He took a sip of coffee, his eyes dropping as a shadow briefly crossed his face.I opened my mouth, a little s
She put away her phone after messaging someone and forced a smile at me. "Miss Harper, my stomach doesn’t feel well. Could you come with me to the restroom?"She lingered in the restroom for a while before finally coming out. When we returned, the bodyguard handed me an ice cream.I took a bite, and suddenly, my gaze froze.Is that... Zachary?It looked like Zachary knew the man searching for his fiancée.As I got up to walk over, the maid and bodyguard stepped in front of me. "Miss Harper, it’s getting late. Would you like to head back?"I frowned at them blocking my view. By the time I pushed past and looked again, Zachary and the man had disappeared without a trace.Feeling a bit deflated, I took another bite of my ice cream. "Yeah, let’s go back."Lately, things between Zachary and me have seemed to improve without me really noticing. He no longer gives me the silent treatment when I talk to him. Now, he actually responds and engages more.Still, I’m a bit wary of him. Aft
