OLIVIA

The moment Mike and I step onto that stage, I feel like I’ve just stepped into my coronation. The lights, the polished floor, the crowd’s eyes...none of it matters, because all that really matters is her. Winter. Standing there. Watching.

And oh, does she watch.

She may have lost some of her memories, but when you love someone the way she loves Mike, you never truly forget them. Yes, Winter's subconscious keeps drawing her attention to him.

I can practically taste the salt in her tears already. I mean, here I am, wearing the very silver dress she once designed for herself—and I look better in it than she ever could. Mike’s beside me in the matching suit, handsome as hell, all mine, moving to the music like a dream.

Honestly, sometimes I don’t know why people act like Mike is so hard to handle. Sure, he’s temperamental. Sure, he’s obsessed with proving himself. But men like him? You just have to dangle the right bait. Keep him chasing. Keep him guessing.

That’s why

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Ninety Nine

    WINTER "What happened?" Nath asks me, while his dad and Ashley question David, who's still crying his manipulative little heart out. Tears seep out of my eyes, and without a word, I turn and run away. I don't stop until I get inside the room. I hear Nath calling my name and running after me. Once in the room, I quickly hide the strands of David's hair in my bag and sit on the bed, allowing the tears to roll down my cheeks. As Nath walks into the room, I wipe my tears hastily. "Hey, what happened out there?" he asks, concern written all over his face. I flash him a smile, though it probably looks as fake as Ashley's concern for Nath's mother. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run like that. It's just that I didn't expect your mom would actually slap me." Nath's eyes widen in shock. "What? My mom slapped you? What exactly happened?" I proceed to narrate everything that happened between me, David, and Nath's mother. I start by telling him the things Ashley said to me in the ha

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Ninety Eight

    WINTER The next morning, I wake up to find that Nath has already gone shopping. Apparently, he's been genius enough to figure out the sizes of everything I wear and the kind of outfits I prefer. Beside the bed are different clothes, shoes, and accessories, all laid out beautifully. "Nath, you went on a shopping spree?" I ask, sitting up in bed. "Good morning to you too, baby," he says, walking over to kiss my cheek while I just stare at everything in amazement. "Come on, we're going to my dad's place today, and I didn't know if it would be convenient for you to stop home and grab your stuff. So I woke up early and made all the arrangements." "Oh, Nath, you're such an angel," I tell him, genuinely touched. "Alright, get ready quickly. I can't wait to show you off. Although I should mention, I told my dad I was coming with a surprise, but I didn't specify I was bringing you." I nod. "That's okay. I'm fine with surprises. I mean, not for me personally. I'm not a fan of

  • The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming    Chapter Ninety Seven

    WINTER I take a cab back home, and my brain is working overtime trying to figure out what to do or say to Nath about this increasingly complicated situation. Do I tell him? Do I wait? Do I investigate more? Do I pretend I never saw those swapped names and just live in blissful ignorance? Okay, that last option is definitely not happening. Just as the cab stops in front of my house, a resolve washes over me like someone dumped a bucket of determination on my head. I have to do this on my own. I have to find out the truth for myself, and only then can I take this to Nath with actual facts instead of just wild theories and suspicions. It won't be easy. Heck, it will probably be dangerous. But if Nath can go above and beyond for me, risking his heart and his peace of mind, then I should be able to do much more for him. That's what love is, right? Doing stupid, potentially dangerous things for the person you care about? I take quiet steps toward my house, thinking about how my m

    WINTER I stare at Blair in complete shock, my hand instinctively going to my cheek which is still stinging from the impact. "Dude! Why did you slap me?" "To get you to come back to your senses," Blair replies, and there's something fierce in her expression that I'm not used to seeing. I continue staring at her in surprise while she keeps going. "You know you don't deserve Nath, right?" Wait, what? Did she just say I don't deserve him? "How can I decide to take a step back with so much difficulty only for you to tell me that you would choose me over Nath?" Blair continues, her voice rising slightly. "Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to do that?" I'm still rubbing my cheek, which honestly feels like it might be permanently imprinted with Blair's handprint at this point. "So you're saying if you were the one in my position, you would choose Nath over me?" "Of course I would," Blair says without hesitation. "Who the hell do you think you are?" I frown, feeling genuinely

    WINTER An idea suddenly strikes me, and I pull out my phone before I can second-guess myself. I open the camera app and take a clear picture of the DNA report, making sure to capture every detail including those swapped names that are still bothering me like an itch I can't scratch. "What are you doing?" Nath asks, noticing my actions. I force a smile onto my face, hoping it looks more natural than it feels. "Just wanted to have a copy. After all, it involves the man I love the most." And also because something about this report is screaming at me that it's wrong, but I'm not going to mention that part right now. Nath smiles at me, and I smile back, but my heart is racing for entirely different reasons than he probably thinks. I need to get into that hospital while there's still time, before they close for the day. I need to talk to someone about this supposed error, confirm whether it's actually possible for them to make such a mistake, because my gut is telling me something

    WINTER "This is Nathaniel Cole?" Blair's voice suddenly cuts through the moment, and I realize she's emerged from wherever she and Treasure were hiding. I turn toward her, my attention finally pulled away from Nath's face. Blair is staring at him with an expression I can only describe as shocked recognition mixed with something else I can't quite identify. "Yes," I manage to say, even though my emotions are currently doing gymnastics inside my chest and my brain feels like it's been through a blender. "He's the one." I can see Blair processing this information, her eyes moving between Nath and me like she's trying to solve a complex equation. "Nath, this is my best friend," I say, gesturing toward Blair. "I've told you a lot about her. Blair, this is Nath." Before Blair can respond, Treasure also emerges from hiding and immediately takes charge of the situation because of course she does. "Well, I do not need an introduction, Nath. You already know who I am." Her voice ca
