Chapter 103

CARMEN’S POV

It's been some days and it was time to discharge Nathan. The discharge papers rustled in the doctor’s hand as he entered the room, his white coat flaring just slightly with his brisk stride. Nathan sat propped up on the bed beside me, looking healthier but still pale, the hollowness in his cheeks proof of how close death had brushed him.

Dr. Hanley cleared his throat softly, giving me that professional, measured smile doctors wear when they know the family is fragile. “Mr. Nathan, Miss… Rivers.” His eyes flicked between us. “I’m pleased to say Nathan is well enough to be discharged today.”

Well, before this, I already discussed with the doctor that I was pretending to be the woman he had been mentioning in his unconscious state, Elena and I didn’t want Nathan to start thinking too much so that was why I was pretending. The doctor gave me a go-ahead, but he didn’t know my true intentions.

Nathan blinked slowly, as though the word itself carried weight. “Discha

    Chapter 107Carmen’s povBut instead, I let my lips tremble, my eyes soften, rehearsed vulnerability slipping easily into place. “Because I care about you,” I whispered. “Because we’re… us. Don’t you feel that, Nathan? Even if your mind doesn’t remember, your heart does. I am here to take care of you so, I won't leave you all by yourself, I will stand by you.”His expression faltered, a flicker of conflict passing over his features. He didn’t argue, but his silence spoke volumes.I led him upstairs, careful to match his slower pace. “There’s something else you should know,” I began, watching him out of the corner of my eye.He glanced at me warily. “What?”I steadied my breath as I led him up the staircase. His steps were slower than before, but his grip on the banister was strong, deliberate. I knew the question was coming even before his lips parted.“In a few days,” I said gently, “we’ll have to attend my company’s board meeting together.”He frowned slightly. “A board meeting? Why

    Chapter 106Carmen’s povMy heart leapt, relieved he’d stumbled onto something softer. “Yes,” I lied smoothly, letting warmth colour my tone. “You used to tease me about it, saying it made the car smell like a spa.”That drew a soft chuckle from him, his first since we left the hospital. “Sounds like me.”I smiled, but my pulse raced. He was reaching for memories, and I had to be the one to give them shape.“Do you know where we’re going?” I asked gently, steering into the long drive toward my estate.He shook his head. “No.”“To my home,” I said. “It’s safe there. More secure than anywhere else. There are some people who want to hurt you, Nathan, but with me, you’ll be untouchable.”He turned, studying me again. “Will I live there now? With you?”“Yes,” I said firmly, glancing at him just long enough to let the words sink in. “With me. We’ll face everything together.”For a moment, he simply stared. Then, slowly, his lips curved into a fragile smile. “That doesn’t sound so bad. Livin

    Chapter 105Carmen’s povI wrapped my arm gently around Nathan’s as I guided him toward the waiting car. He didn’t resist, but his silence pressed on me like a weight. He climbed into the car slowly, like every motion required thought. Once he was seated, he leaned back and stared out the window, as though the passing world might answer the questions he couldn’t form. I got into my seat and started the car.The city lights blurred across the windshield as I steered us through the evening traffic. Nathan sat in the passenger seat, his gaze drifting from the window to the dashboard and back again, as though trying to stitch together memories from the shadows outside.For several minutes, silence filled the car, thick and heavy, broken only by the hum of the engine and the occasional hiss of passing tires on wet pavement.Finally, his voice broke through, soft but weighted.“Why does everything feel so… strange?”I tightened my grip on the wheel, careful not to let the tension show in my

    Chapter 104Carmen’s povDr. Hanley gave me a look that seemed to linger, testing whether I was as dependable as I appeared. I softened my smile, leaning into Nathan’s hand as though to show our unbreakable bond. “I promised him I wouldn’t leave his side,” I said, the lie slipping off my tongue like silk.Something in Nathan’s eyes flickered then, something warm, something believing.“Good,” the doctor said, finally convinced. He lowered his tone slightly. “One last thing. Amnesia patients often grow restless. Their instincts tell them they should be elsewhere, doing something, seeing someone they can’t name. If he experiences this, don’t dismiss it, but don’t feed it either. Just… ground him. Remind him he’s safe.”“I understand,” I murmured.The nurse entered then, cheerful in her scrubs, holding a brown packet. “Alright, Mr. Nathan,” she chirped, setting it on the bedside table. “Here are your medications. There are clear instructions on the labels, but Miss Elena” She looked at me

    Chapter 102CARMEN’S POVHis eyes searched mine, wild, frantic, full of a pain I couldn’t name. “I thought I’d lost you,” he breathed. “Everything is… broken inside my head. I don’t remember where I'd been or who I could trust, but your name, it’s all I have, Elena. It’s been echoing, like the only thread keeping me alive.”My heart twisted, tightening painfully. He meant her. The real Elena. The one whose absence still bled inside him, even now, stripped of memory.But I buried the truth deep. I couldn’t let it show.“I never left,” I whispered, curling my fingers around his. “I stayed. I’m here now, and that’s all that matters.”His chest heaved with uneven breaths. He closed his eyes briefly, and when he spoke again, his words hit me like a blow.“I remember… leaving you once.” His voice cracked. “I don’t know why. I can’t see the moment. But the guilt… the guilt is heavy. Like it’s carved into me. Like I betrayed you, and it’s still here, burning me alive.”My breath caught.He re
