Brody Lewis, my fiance, said that I had a rare form of transient global amnesia, which was a sudden, temporary memory loss. Every seven days, I would open my eyes and become the twenty-five-year-old Riley Taylor again. My memories were forever stuck in the past. In my pen drive were videos of Brody taking me on trips, bringing me for treatment, and proposing to me. Everything seemed great between us, but I remembered none of it. “Riley’s still around. Can’t you keep your hands to yourself?” “Don’t worry. It’s Monday tomorrow. After she wakes up, she’ll remember none of it,” Brody said, and my heart sank. “Isn’t this more exciting?” Brody embraced my best friend, and they made out brazenly in front of me. They were not shy about it at all. I wondered just how many times this had happened over the past two years. I ran as tears blurred my vision. When I arrived at a tattoo shop, I grabbed the tattoo artist like a drowning man holding on to a log. Then, I asked the tattoo artist to tattoo these words on my arm in my handwriting. [Leave him.]
View MoreGertrude was ecstatic, and she believed there was still hope for Rose to survive. Hence, no matter what Rose said, she insisted on her getting chemotherapy. In the end, Rose was forced to sign the agreement to receive treatment.When it was time for her treatment, Rose was terrified by the needle containing the chemotherapy drugs. She even peed herself and begged the nurse to let her go. Dr. Springfield sent me a photo of the needle that scared Rose to tears. It was indeed very long. I laughed.Howard glanced at my phone and asked coldly, “What did he say to you? Why are you laughing so happily?”I was busy replying to Dr. Springfield, so I ignored him. “It’s none of your business.”“Wow, telling me to stay out of your business again, huh? The last time you told me the same thing, you insisted on marrying Brody. Now, you’re telling me that again? If he scams you out of all of your money, don’t come crying to me.”Sure, I was wrong for coming up with this idea behind Howard’s b
This was not the first time I had exposed his affair with Rose, but Brody stood stunned. In the past, he would always be annoyed by my incessant pestering. I had never seen him with such a pained expression before. “Let’s go, Howard.”Brody stood still and watched me leave. When Howard turned a corner, I heard a roar behind me. It was followed by the sounds of glass shattering and blaring alarms. “Drive faster, Howard. Otherwise, security will think we stole a car.”“You still have the strength to joke?” He wanted to smack my head out of habit, but my head was bandaged. So, he retracted his hand. “Do you have any idea how worried Uncle Mark and Aunt Mary are? If I hadn’t been in the country, they would’ve resorted to calling the police and arresting your fiance.”I was overwhelmed with so much guilt that I dared not speak. After spending a long time working up my courage, I dialed my parents’ number. The call went through immediately. I thought they would start yelling at
“I’ve… been keeping something from you.“I’ve liked Brody for a long time!”When Rose spoke, I did not see any emotion in her eyes. Did she really like Brody, or did she just love the pleasure of insulting me?She started going on and on about how she had fallen in love with Brody. Apparently, she had felt tormented and conflicted over the past two years as I suffered from amnesia. It was all an old act, so I had no interest in what she said. She only brought my attention back to her when she said one thing. “Could you… let me have Brody?”Even though I was already sick of her acting, I was still shocked. Rose quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. I just want him to keep me company until my surgery. Could you please let me have him?”She looked up right then, and her eyes shone with tears. It was as if she would start crying the moment I said no. “Of course.” I held her hand. “I wouldn’t know how to survive if you died.”If she died, I would celebrate by lighting f
Brody was actually busy taking care of me. He went to the nurse for help, poured me a glass of water, and did other things. Right from the start, he never spared a glance at Rose. Rose dug her nails into her palms. “That’s so sudden. To think that you two would be getting married so soon.”“Hahaha, is that so? I think it’s really sudden too.”I gave an awkward laugh, but to Rose, it sounded like I was challenging her. She flung the glass of water I held to the floor, and it instantly shattered. “I won’t agree to it!”I rolled my eyes. Did these two not match their lines beforehand? How could she believe Brody’s lies? She even broke down without any shame. “I don’t need your permission to get married to Riley.” Brody’s eyes were unprecedentedly cold. “Not only are we getting married, but we’re also moving abroad. Don’t bother us again. You’re… no longer Riley’s friend.”“You’re moving abroad?”She stared at Brody in disbelief. Before he could offer an explanation, she ran
This time, I did not cry as I stared at Brody’s face. All I felt was uncontrollable hate. How dare he?He had worked together with Rose and deceived me for two whole years!Whenever I cried because of his betrayal every seven days, was he pleased with himself? He plugged in the pen drive for me with great care. However, I did not move even after a long time had passed. Brody placed his hand over my wrist and said in a gentle, charming voice, “Don’t be scared. I’ll watch it with you.”This was the cage that Brody had made for me. “My head hurts. I don’t want to see it.”There was no need to. I went through every detail and lie the pen drive was going to show me. Clearly, he did not expect my reaction. He froze before he summoned a doctor. Obviously, I was not going to be stupid enough to put myself in danger again. I did not have any family in the country, and I could only wait for my parents’ return before I could make any plans. I had to make sure that Brody did no
[Rose doesn’t have stomach cancer. Everything she says is a lie.][Rose gave you sleeping pills. Don’t eat them!][If you get a chance to grab your phone, call your parents for help immediately!]The notes became sloppier with each page I flipped. By the looks of it, this notebook had been discovered more than once. Every time, I would leave behind a few words of my own in the notebook. The contents of the pen drive Brody showed me and the notebook made up the full truth of what I had gone through over the past two years. [Brody said that this is the 80th week since I got transient global amnesia, and this is the hell he’s made for me.[Someone, please save me…]Every page contained a desperate cry for help, but no one could answer it. Even if I did not have my passport, I could still leave this place first. So, I approached the door with only the clothes on my back. But when I grabbed the door knob, I could not open it, even though I had just opened the door yesterday w
