ROXANNE POV

It was time for my next appointment, and there I was seated once again in Dr. Lyra Hanes' office.

"I'm glad to see you back, Roxanne," she said warmly, her voice calm and steady in a way that made my shoulders loosen just a little. "And thank you for joining us again, Damien."

Damien gave a simple nod in acknowledgment, nothing more, before he drifted off like he always did. His presence filled the room regardless, even as he casually strolled along the shelves, scanning the spines

    DAMIEN RAPHAËL POV I sat on the edge of the bed, watching Roxanne sleep. Three days. Three days since she regained a piece of her past...and it nearly broke her. My gaze traced over her face, softer now in sleep. She looked peaceful like this. Untouched. No matter what she remembers… She’s mine. My wife. I leaned in, pressing a slow kiss to her cheek, lingering just a second longer than necessary. “I love you...” I murmured against her ear. The words slipped out before I could stop them. I stilled. That wasn’t something I said. Not out loud. Not even to myself. But I didn’t take it back. Couldn’t. I didn’t want to. She shifted slightly beneath the sheets, a soft breath leaving her lips as she stirred. I pulled back just enough, about to stand, but her hand suddenly wrapped around mine. I glanced down at her as her eyes slowly opened, still heavy with sleep. “Where are you going?” she asked, her voice soft, rough around the edges. I eased back down onto the bed witho

    ROXANNE POV When I came to, the first thing I felt was warmth. Strong arms around me, familiar and safe. I blinked slowly, my vision clearing to find Damien’s face above mine. His expression was controlled, but I saw it. That flicker of worry in his eyes. Relief hit me all at once. I didn’t think, I just moved. My arms wrapped around his neck tightly, pulling myself closer as I buried my face against him. “I’m here, kitten.” he murmured against my hair, his voice low and steady. “You’re alright.” His hand moved along my back, slow, soothing strokes that grounded me instantly. I breathed him in. Let him anchor me. “I...” My voice shook slightly. “I had a memory.” He stilled just slightly, but his hold on me didn’t loosen. “Yeah?” he asked quietly. I nodded against him, pulling back just enough to look at him. “There was a woman,” I said softly. “She...she was holding my hand.” My throat tightened. “I think…she was my mom.” Something shifted in his eyes at that. “Whe

    ROXANNE POVI continued working around the clinic, the soft hum of machines and quiet chatter blending into the background as I moved from one task to another...but my mind wasn’t really there.It was wrapped around the song.The same one.The one from my memory.Thomas had found it early this morning and sent it over without much explanation, just a short message:“This is the closest match. Latin children’s hymn. Let me know if it triggers anything.”So I've been listening to it ever since.Over and over.The soft melody played through my earphones now, the unfamiliar yet hauntingly familiar Latin lyrics flowing gently into my ears as I wiped down the counter near the supply cabinet.“...cor meum…luce…amare…”My fingers slowed.There it was again. That strange pull in my chest. Like something was just…out of reach.I leaned against the counter, closing my eyes for a second, letting the music sink deeper, hoping...just hoping...it would unlock something more.But nothing came. Just t

    ROXANNE POV“Ita…intellego.”The second the words left my mouth...Everything froze.The air. My breath.My thoughts.I blinked, my heart suddenly racing like it was trying to break free from my chest.“I…I didn’t…” My voice came out uneven as I looked between them. “How is that…?”Beside me, Damien had gone completely still. Not tense. Not aggressive.Just…still.Like something had just shifted in a way he didn’t fully like.Dr. Lyra, on the other hand, clapped her hands once, her eyes lighting up with something dangerously close to excitement.“Fascinating.”That word didn’t help.Not at all.She leaned forward slightly, her attention fully locked on me now.“Quomodo te sentis?”And again...I answered. Like it was the most natural thing in the world.“Confusa…sed…bene.”Confused…but fine.The translation came to me just as easily as the words themselves.I turned to Damien, my eyes wide, a breathless laugh escaping me despite the tension curling in my chest.“Did I just…?”He shook

    DAMIEN RAPHAËL POVI stood just outside the door of my study, arms crossed over my chest as I leaned into the frame. Thomas stood opposite to me, his stance straight, but his eyes occasionally drifted through the slight crack in the door. Inside, Roxanne was seated at the desk, head bowed, pen mov

    ROXANNE POV It was my second night working in Damien's office at the nightclub. I sat on the black couch lined by the wall, sorting out receipts and inventory records for the bar. I wasn't complaining about the basic assistant-slash-waitress, since it felt good having something to do other th

    ROXANNE POV"Well," The woman said with the tilt of her head. "You must be new."I raised my brows. "Something like that."She took a step closer, looking me up and down, not even hiding it. "Let me guess, housekeeper? Or maybe the chef's assistant?""I'm not a worker." I said flatly. I wasn't try

    ROXANNE POVI padded quietly down the wide marble staircase, one hand gripping the polished railing as the other stiffed the small yawn escaping my lips. My bare feet brushed over the last step when the faint scent of brewed coffee lingering in the air suddenly hit me, but it was the sound of the
