Author's Note
Hi everyone who decided to join this ride with me!
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business establishments, events or locales is entirely coincidental.
I am glad you decided to give this story a chance and I hope you will enjoy it. ( Here you will find out that not only does love matters in a relationship. Lots of other things matter too. However, love is the ultimate.
Also, you'll find that life does not always have happy endings, sometimes it has sad endings. Please be sure to leave a tiny comment.
They matter to me alot and I like reading them.
Beneath this novel's compelling story and the shimmering elegance with which it was written lies a bedrock of wisdom about following one’s heart.

All he could think of was his son who was now said to have Amnesia. Was it total or partial? Would his be able to recognize him even tho things weren't rosy between them?
