LOGINMy woozy brain managed to register my body being laid on a soft bed... I held on tightly to his neck, grinning stupidly, "you're so handsome. I like to kiss handsome men." A soft chuckle, "darling, you..." I raised my head to jam my lips with his, cutting him off. ************************************************** The accident that was meant to end her, put Roxanne in coma for a year. When she woke up, her memory was a blank. Then she finds herself in a contract marriage with Josh Caldwell, her CEO husband, who's betrothed to marry the true heiress of the powerful Gilmore Empire. Five years later, her husband's woman is back. Vanessa Gilmore — the beautiful, manipulative heiress of Gilmore Empire. Roxanne is tossed aside. The boy she'd taken care of since he was a baby was snatched from her. She has lost...and she knows it. Then comes Kylian Caldwell, the half brother of her ex-husband, a well known playboy and black sheep of the Caldwell, to the rescue. With him by her side, she's about to discover that the past isn't dead...and that her memory holds the key to unlocking secrets, including her stolen identity and the child she didn't know she'd given birth to. But when the truth finally comes spilling and two brothers fight for her heart, will she be able to stand against the enemies who will stop at nothing to keep what is rightfully hers, even if it means driving a wedge between her and the man who's ready to rain down hell just to protect her?

Add the charge to my tab."I quickly tried to correct the narrative I was giving him. "No, not that. I just thought..." I trailed off, realizing I didn't even know what lie to say.I didn't want him to know I was amnesiac and now, I could tell he was clinging onto that information and the confusion in my tone when I'd uttered those two words — 'a sister?'"Thank you, sir." The young girl beamed excitedly.I looked at his face, but he showed no sign of doing anything to have warranted that gratitude.I glanced back at the girl and saw the cash in her hand. Oh, a generous tip."Let's go." He said simply, holding the bag containing the drink and leading the way. I followed him out of the liquor store, and into his car. My mind racing with some thoughts. Why hadn't Mom told me I had a sister? For once, she never made mention
ROXANNE "That was very...badass." Kylian's face was holding a pleased expression, while his hand held out the car door open for me.I bounced my shoulders in a shrug, letting out a small laugh that carried quietly into the evening breeze.I'd gone back up to my room to freshen up for this unplanned date. Even intentionally did my make up, though light, and found a befitting navy blue evening dress and a pair of simple silver heeled sandals to go with it, and a matching silver purse. Spritzed on the only bottle of perfume I owned and reserved for nice occasions. I didn't do it for Kylian. I did it for Josh — while a part of me was acting out of defiance and anger, the other part hoped he would see what he was missing. However, all I'd gotten from him was an angry glare. His mother had called me a whore, Vanessa had chuckled from the sidelines at the insult aimed at me. I ignored them all and walked out to meet Kylian who was now in the compound."So a restaurant or a bar?" I ask
ROXANNE "Here, let me take him." I outstretched my arms to take a sleeping Ethan from Vanessa. But she evaded my touch, pulling the boy away from me.A frown imprinted on my forehead. "Is there a problem?" I looked between her and Josh who stood beside her.When it was noon, I'd gone downstairs to get Ethan so he could have lunch and take his medicine, but he was nowhere to be found. I had learned from Patricia, who had been very eager to tell me about the 'family' outing, that he'd gone out with his parents. Making emphasis on Vanessa being the biological mother to Ethan. Apparently, Vanessa and Josh had taken Ethan out without letting me know. And they had also, obviously, forgotten he was supposed not to miss his prescriptions for his head injury.It was past eight pm. Way past his dinner time and approximately his bed time. "No problem. He's my son, isn't he?" There was no mistake in the coldness I heard in her tone.It riled me, and in that moment, I muttered some words. "W
ROXANNE A short silence.Mom's pretty, sharp gray eyes searched my face as though she was trying to figure out what was going on in my head.She said nothing...for a while.Then she pulled me back into a warm, comforting hug, "I'm sorry you feel this way, Roxy darling. So sorry." "I-I don't know, mom. I just feel like I..." A sniffle, I held on tightly to her. "Like I have lost everything."Mom drew back again, studied my expression and gently used her thumb to wipe my tears. "Come, I think I have a few minutes to spare. Let's talk.""I don't want you to get into trouble with Patricia." I told her.Her lips spread warmly, "don't worry, I'll deal with her. For now, you're very important. Sit, let's talk about you."She led me to the bed, and plopped down on it, pulling me gently with her. She swiped at another lone tear that had escaped, and waited patiently for me to begin.Mom already knew about my feelings for Josh, and the drama that came with it.I drew in a shaky breath, "I sti
