LOGINA car accident leaves my boyfriend, Ben Cullen, with temporary amnesia. When he wakes up, he's convinced that my best friend, Jean Lyle, is his fiancée. The doctors warn us not to upset him, so I have no choice but to let Jean play along. We agree it's only an act. Once Ben gets his memory back, everything will go back to normal. But six months later, he still doesn't remember me. One day, I come across a post on a local forum. "I lost my memory after a car accident and mistook another woman for my girlfriend. Now I'm in love with her. How do I tell my real girlfriend?" The top reply says, "Easy. Keep pretending you have amnesia. You can stay with the new girl, and if you ever change your mind, just claim your memory came back." The original poster liked the reply. I look up just as Ben and Jean walk through the door. He follows her inside with several shopping bags, looking at her with such obvious affection that there's no mistaking how he feels. That's when it hits me. What started as an act has become real to Ben.

"I know you were at the wedding. Noelle asked you to go, didn't she? Where is she? I need to see her."Mom planted her hands on her hips and scoffed. "You mailed the invitation to my house, so of course I went to watch the show. Noelle isn't your pet. You don't get to call her over when you want her and throw her aside when you don't."Why don't you go check on Jean and the baby she tried to pass off as yours? Weren't you counting on him to take care of you when you got old?"Mom had always been patient and kind to Ben. She had never spoken to him that way before.He stood there in stunned silence.Mom laughed in his face. "Let me guess. You're here to tell me you mistook Jean for Noelle because of your amnesia, and that Noelle is the one you've loved all along. Do you really think we're stupid enough to buy that, Ben?"T
Mom was so eager to see the drama for herself that she made a special trip to the wedding. She even recorded what happened and sent me the video.Halfway through the ceremony, a stranger stormed onto the stage and snatched the microphone from the emcee."I object!"Everyone looked confused except Jean. Her face went pale, and she quickly covered it as she ducked behind Ben.Ben frowned, convinced that I had sent the man to crash his wedding. He was about to have security throw him out when the man dropped a bombshell."Jean, don't think marrying some sucker willing to raise your bastard means you're rid of me! I'm the baby's real father. No matter how old he gets, he'll still have to call me Dad."Ben's eyes went wide with rage. "What did you just say?"The man laughed in his face. "What, you agreed to marry her without knowing the truth? Do you get off on being cheated on, or are you really that eager to play dad to another man's kid?"Jean clung tightly to Ben's arm, her voic
I continued, "You and Jean have been living in my house all this time. I was already generous enough not to kick you out sooner. You can refuse to leave, but I'll have every last thing you own tossed out."As for the apartment you rented, you and Jean can have it."Ben went still.When he finally spoke, his voice was hoarse. "When did you find out I'd gotten my memory back?""It doesn't matter. We were over the moment you faked amnesia to be with Jean."I hung up and blocked his number.Ben stayed on the balcony for a long time. When he finally returned to the living room, his back was hunched.He had faked amnesia because he thought he could have it both ways. Now he was stuck with Jean, with no way back.Jean knew he must have been talking to me. She rushed over, eager to hear what I had said."Well? Did Noelle agree not to sell the house?"Ben was silent for a moment before saying quietly, "Go pack your things."Jean was furious, but with no other choice, she started pack
The buyers asked to see the house early, before the midday heat set in, and Ian agreed.He arrived with the couple while Ben and Jean were still asleep. Using the key I had given him, he let them in and began showing them around.When Ian opened the bedroom door, the noise woke Ben. He took one look at the strangers and quickly pulled the blanket over Jean."You're trespassing! I'm calling the police!"But Ian didn't budge. I had already briefed him on the situation."Ms. Sloan hired us to sell this house. They're interested in buying it."Ben let out a humorless laugh, grabbed his phone from the nightstand, and dialed 911."Now get out! My wife needs to get dressed."Ian merely scoffed and led the couple away to see the rest of the house. After that scene, however, the couple were clearly having second thoughts.Ian immediately gave them his word. "You won't find another house this well renovated in your price range. It's completely move-in ready, so you won't have to spend a
