UNTIL YOU REMEMBER ME The Third Person In The Room
The hallway outside the interrogation room becomes completely still. Marcus slowly lifts his head. “…Margaret was there?” The detective nods. “Yes.” Adrian’s expression turns colder. “Play it.” The detective taps the screen again. The video resumes. On the tablet, the scene in the conference room continues. Victor Salazar is still standing near the table. I’m facing him. The tension between us is sharp enough to feel even through the screen. Then— The door behind Victor opens. My past self turns immediately. And a woman walks into the room. Margaret Lawson. Marcus exhales slowly. “…well. That escalated quickly.” In the video, Margaret closes the door behind her with quiet precision. Her expression is calm. Almost amused. Victor glances at her briefly. Not surprised. Not confused. Which means one thing. He knew she was coming. My stomach twists. In the recording, I look at Margaret. “What are you doing here?” Margaret tilts her head slightly. “That’s
UNTIL YOU REMEMBER ME The Video Margaret Never Expected
The hallway falls silent. “You threatening Victor Salazar.” The detective’s words echo in my ears like a verdict. Marcus straightens immediately, his usual sarcasm edged with curiosity. “…okay,” he says slowly, “now I really want to see that video.” Adrian’s eyes narrow slightly. “Play it.” The detective nods and taps the tablet screen. The small display lights up. A dim conference room appears, grainy but clear enough. The timestamp in the corner reads: March 14 — 11:42 PM. My breath catches. “That’s the night of the crash.” Marcus leans closer. “Let’s see what Past Alessa was doing.” The video stabilizes. A table. Two chairs. Victor Salazar sitting on one side. Then the door opens. And I walk into the room. My chest tightens. Seeing myself like this feels strange. Familiar. But distant. Marcus whistles softly. “You look extremely angry.” He’s not wrong. In the recording, my expression is cold. Focused. Controlled. Victor smirks slightly in the video. “You came.” My
UNTIL YOU REMEMBER ME The Memory That Started It All
The hallway outside the interrogation room feels suddenly smaller. Like the walls are closing in. Marcus straightens beside me, clearly sensing the shift. “…you exposed him?” he asks Adrian carefully. Adrian nods once. “Yes.” Marcus rubs his forehead. “Okay. That sounds like the origin story of a very bad villain.” My chest feels tight. “I don’t remember any of that.” Adrian’s gaze softens slightly. “I know.” The words are gentle. Not accusing. Not impatient. Just patient. Marcus glances between us. “So let’s reconstruct the disaster.” Adrian leans against the wall, folding his arms again. “Five years ago, Reyes Holdings hosted an international design competition.” A faint flicker moves through my mind. Spotlights. A large conference hall. Architectural models displayed on white platforms. Adrian continues. “You submitted a proposal for a sustainable coastal development project.” My pulse skips. I whisper before I can stop myself. “The Pacific Eco District.” Both men loo
UNTIL YOU REMEMBER ME The Man Who Would Burn The World
Victor’s last words linger in the observation room. Adrian Reyes would burn the entire world before letting anyone take his wife. No one speaks. Not the detectives. Not Marcus. Not even me. Because for a moment, all I can do is look at Adrian. He hasn’t moved since Victor said it. His arms are still crossed. His posture rigid. His expression calm. But I feel something different now. Not anger. Not fear. Something deeper. Marcus breaks the silence first. “Well,” he mutters, “that’s both romantic and slightly terrifying.” Adrian exhales slowly. Then he finally steps away from the observation glass. Inside the interrogation room, the detectives gather their files, signaling the end of the questioning. Victor leans back in his chair, looking exhausted. For the first time tonight, he doesn’t glance toward me again. His eyes remain fixed on the table. Marcus stretches his arms. “So. That concludes the villain confession portion of our evening.” Adrian turns toward the door. “W
UNTIL YOU REMEMBER ME The Woman Who Lost
The interrogation room falls silent after Victor’s last words. She was never even in the race. Marcus slowly rubs his chin beside me. “…well,” he murmurs, “that is the most brutal rejection in legal history.” Adrian doesn’t respond. His eyes remain fixed on Victor through the observation glass, his stillness sharper than any words. Inside the interrogation room, the detectives exchange a brief glance. One of them leans forward again. “Let’s clarify something.” Victor looks up. “You’re saying Margaret Lawson built an entire conspiracy because she believed Adrian Reyes chose the wrong woman.” Victor nods faintly. “Yes.” The detective taps the table. “That’s not a rational motive.” Victor laughs weakly. “You’ve never met Margaret.” Marcus mutters quietly beside me. “Fair point.” Inside the room, the detective flips open another document. “We’ve reviewed your financial records.” Victor’s smile fades slightly. “And?” “You transferred over forty million dollars into shell comp
UNTIL YOU REMEMBER ME The Rivalry That Never Ended
No one speaks for a long moment. Victor Salazar’s last words still echo through the speakers in the observation room. Margaret Lawson never planned for Adrian Reyes to fall in love with his wife again. Marcus exhales slowly beside me. “Well. That’s… disturbingly romantic.” Adrian doesn’t react. His eyes remain fixed on Victor through the glass, his posture rigid, his silence sharper than any words. Inside the interrogation room, one of the detectives closes the folder on the table. “Let’s go back,” he says calmly. Victor looks up. “You claim Margaret Lawson had a personal history with Adrian Reyes.” “Yes.” The detective flips open a new document. “Law school.” Victor nods. “Top of the class.” Marcus mutters under his breath. “That tracks.” The detective continues. “Reyes and Lawson competed for the same clerkship positions.” Victor smiles faintly. “And Adrian won.” The detective writes something down. “Repeatedly.” Victor shrugs. “Margaret didn’t lose gracefully.” Mar
