Synopsis

Childhood Sweethearts

Reborn

Tragic Love

Winning Back the Husband

Unattainable Love

Anastasia Kain and I were childhood sweethearts, but we resented each other for a lifetime. She blamed me for making decisions without her consent. I had awakened her memories and driven her first love to jump off a building. I blamed her for breaking her promise. She once swore she would love me forever, yet after losing her memory, she fell for someone else. We were married, but we lived like strangers who happened to share a roof. However, when I was diagnosed with ALS and the whole city urged her to divorce me, Anastasia carried me on her back and climbed 3,000 steps to reach a cathedral, praying day and night just for me to live a little longer. When the end finally came, she stayed beside my hospital bed all night, her forehead pressed gently against my cheek. In a trembling whisper, she said, "Mason, I've done everything I could for you in this life. If there's a next one, please don't make me remember again. Let me be with him." Tears slipped from the corners of my eyes. Only then did I realize I should never have chained her to me with the love we shared in our youth. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I first found Anastasia. This time, I chose to let her memories stay buried so that the girl I loved could run freely toward the man she had always wanted.

Chapter 1
"Ms. Kain lost her memory, and she refuses to come back with us. But we've contacted one of the top neurologists in the country. He can help her recover soon."It was the same conversation, exactly like the last time I found Anastasia Kain after she went missing.Only this time, there was no joy or urgency in my heart.I shook my head, telling my men not to help her recover her memory. Then I did two things.First, I went to the hospital and got a full, detailed checkup.Second, I took the ALS diagnosis report straight to her parents and asked to call off the engagement.Anastasia's mother, Eloise Kain, gripped my hand tightly and shook her head, her eyes red and swollen. "You can't do that. Anastasia loves you so much. She'd never marry anyone else."I said nothing. Instead, I handed them a photo.In the picture, Anastasia was standing in front of an aquarium, looking at a man dressed as a merman with a gaze that was soft and full of longing."Rather than forcing her to mar

Chapter 2
"I just wanted her to stay with me for a few more days. Just a few days, that's all!"By the end, Philip's voice was cracking, and he was close to tears.I stood there quietly, listening. My eyes, however, drifted past him and landed on Anastasia.She was staring straight at me; her whole body was tense, and her eyes were dark and stormy. It looked as if something was about to break loose inside her.The woman who once followed me everywhere had become Philip's "guard dog" now, ready to attack the moment I so much as looked at him the wrong way.I didn't know exactly what I felt. I just knew that this time around, I couldn't be selfish and keep her chained to me again.I forced a faint smile and said to Philip, "You don't have to be scared. I'm not here to break you two up. I came to take both of you back to the Kains'."Philip froze, wide-eyed. "Both of us?""That's right." I nodded. "You're the man she loves. If I tried to leave you behind, she wouldn't come with us anyway.

Chapter 3
I gathered up Anastasia's old belongings in my room and tossed them into the fire.The flames roared, sending waves of heat over me, but I felt as if I were standing in freezing water.For the next few days, the courtyard was alive with the clanging and scraping of demolition.The garden of gardenias that Anastasia had planted with her own hands was dug up and replaced with roses, which were Philip's favorite.The glass greenhouse where we once played piano and watched sunsets together was smashed and converted into a swimming pool for Philip.Even the clematis trellis where we had first confessed our feelings was torn down and replaced with a garden pond that Philip loved.On the day they planted the water lilies in the pond, Philip suddenly blocked me in the courtyard.He lifted his chin high and deliberately showed off the ring on his ring finger."Anastasia found this design in the room," he said, shaking his finger. "She said she could tell it was meant for her future husb

The bodyguards immediately understood Anastasia's order. They hoisted me up and threw me into the water.It was winter, and the pond was freezing. I shivered violently the moment I hit the water. I scrambled for the shore, but a firm hand shoved me back down."Mr. Beck, we can't let you up without the ring," one bodyguard said, his voice flat and cold. "If you want this to end soon, you'd better find it fast."I bit my lip and resigned myself. I floated and fumbled in the icy, murky water, my fingers probing the dirt over and over.Dirty water seeped into my sleeves, numbing my fingertips until they almost lost all feeling.From dawn to dusk, I kept searching. I only managed to find the ring just as Anastasia's parents were about to return.Clutching it tightly, I made my way step by step to Anastasia's room and gently knocked on the door.Anastasia opened it, her gaze heavy. "I'm gonna let it go this time, but you'd better stay away from Philip from now on."She flipped her pa

Chapter 5
The leader sounded like one of Anastasia's rivals, the same man she had driven to ruin not long ago during a corporate battle.After a long pause, the kidnappers finally started a video call. "Ms. Kain," one of them sneered, "you've got two people here. One's your childhood sweetheart of 20 years, and the other's the man you fell in love with after losing your memory. Who do you want to save?"Anastasia kept her composure at first, but the moment her eyes landed on the red mark across Philip's face, she completely lost control. "If you so much as touch a hair on Philip's head, I'll make sure every last one of you goes down with him!"My eyes stayed shut, but a sting burned behind them, and tears quietly trailed down my cheeks.I didn't know what I was hoping for. I should've known what her choice would be.The kidnapper burst out laughing. "You really thought I was gonna let you pick?"Before I could react, someone yanked me backward and shoved me into a glass tank. I hit somethi

Chapter 6
The whole hospital was buzzing with news that Anastasia had flown in the world's top psychiatrists just to make sure Philip didn't suffer any aftereffects from almost drowning at sea.After the checkup, Philip grinned and said he wanted to give Anastasia a bracelet as a gift. But when he took it out of his pocket, he realized the bracelet had snapped.Anastasia looked a little regretful. "That's a bad omen for broken relationships."Philip simply laughed and brushed it off. "Nah, it's just a coincidence. I'll buy you a stronger one next time."But the moment he spoke, an old memory flickered in her mind.It was a bright, sunny day. A gentle breeze stirred the wind chimes by the window, their soft notes blending with the faint scent of clematis.The boy had just fastened a delicate chain around Anastasia's wrist when it suddenly snapped.She froze, her face pale. "A broken chain means we'll be separated! Are you gonna leave me?"The boy stared at her, startled by her sudden outb

Chapter 7
Anastasia immediately saw through Philip's act, but she still let him pull her into his arms. She patted his back while ringing for the doctor.This scene had played out many times before.Whenever she showed even a hint of wanting to see Mason, Philip would feign illness to distract her.After so many times, Anastasia had started to catch on.Philip was afraid of her spending time with Mason.But if Mason was really just her childhood friend, why would Philip be so nervous?Her thoughts tangled into a messy knot, and she even entertained a ridiculous idea before quickly suppressing it.If Mason and she were together in the past, how could he have tolerated her being with Philip?She silently brushed aside the stray hairs on Philip's forehead, watching his eyelashes tremble. She knew he was just pretending to be asleep.Philip was the love she had chosen for this life; what good would it do to seek out Mason to clarify the past?Since it would only make Philip sad, she figure

"You always said you never get to see the moon on your birthday," the boy's voice choked with emotion. "But it doesn't matter anymore. If there's no moon, I'll just give you a piece of the Milky Way."He reached out to wipe her tears. The warmth of his finger made her chest ache.Anastasia struggled desperately in the water, not for air, but to clear the fog and see his face.Her head felt as if it was being pierced by a thousand needles at once. The pain curled her into a ball, but she refused to let go of that sliver of clarity.For what felt like an eternity, before her consciousness fully blurred, she finally saw the boy's face clearly.Those smiling eyes belonged to Mason."Mason…" Anastasia murmured, and the moment the water swallowed her, all the memories she had locked away rushed back like a flood breaking through a dam.-Since arriving abroad, the days had stretched endlessly. From the first struggles with the unfamiliar environment to the slow settling into routine,

Chapter 9
Katherine was just like Anastasia?Would she one day suddenly forget me, just like Anastasia did? Would she hurt me for someone else?I immediately dismissed the thought.Katherine wasn't Anastasia. She would never do that.But that half-finished remark of hers still left me feeling uneasy.She was always like this, speaking in fragments and leaving me to guess the rest.I hung my head and stepped into the yard. Then I grabbed a snow shovel and slammed it down into the snow a few times, imagining the white ground as Katherine's teasing, mysterious face.Clang. The shovel slipped from my grip and hit the ground with a dull thud.I bent to pick it up, but my arm froze midair, completely immobile.Before I could call out, I was pulled into a warm, soft embrace.Leaning against Katherine, I could hear her calm, steady heartbeat, one beat after another, like a reassuring drum I could sink into.The doctor had said that ALS was an incurable disease. All one could do was slow its

Chapter 10
A tall, clear figure suddenly appeared in Anastasia's memory.The boy stood among a courtyard full of gardenias, smiling warmly at her. "The orchids in the greenhouse have bloomed. Let's go see them together."Anastasia watched herself rushing forward, eager to reach him, but the moment she touched him, everything shattered, scattering into a sky full of butterflies.From the air came his sorrowful, ethereal sigh. "It's over between us.""Mason!"In the hospital room, Anastasia's eyes snapped open, a startled cry tearing through the silence."Anastasia! You're awake!" Philip exclaimed happily, but he quickly started crying. "I'm so glad you finally woke up… I didn't know what I'd do if you didn't… Your parents would hate me, and I'd feel so guilty…"I shouldn't have made you place that rosary for me. It's all my fault…"Anastasia listened quietly, her gaze landing on the man she once treasured above all when she had lost her memories.She croaked, "Where's Mason?"Philip fr
