As soon as I looked up, Luke kissed me on the lips and smiled in satisfaction. "I'll never let you down," he said.After that, Luke brought me back to the home he had already prepared for our wedding.When the door opened, his rumored girlfriend was standing there."What are you doing here, Lorelei? The wedding's tomorrow, so don't ruin my big day today," Luke grumbled."I'm here to meet the woman my little brother's been obsessed with for ten years," Lorelei said with a teasing smile.Before she could say more, Luke shoved her out the door.Lorelei didn't want to reveal her family background, and that was how the scandal about Luke fooling around with an actress had started. However, to protect his sister, he chose not to make any public statements.As I listened to Luke's rushed explanation, I gave a small nod.His eyes then darkened with desire as he pulled me close. After that, we tangled through the night until morning.…"Mr. Cooper, Jessica's ashes were moved to Hass

"I now pronounce Mr. Patton and Ms. Turner husband and wife!" On stage, the officiant completed the ceremony. Luke pulled me into his arms and kissed me.I stood there as I accepted blessings from the guests. Everyone said I was the wife Luke had gone to great lengths to win over.Just then, the doors to the wedding hall suddenly flew open. Nathan stormed in, eyes bloodshot. "I object!"It had only been a week, but his stubble had grown out. I had never seen him so haggard. "Willow, I knew it. The Lord must have heard my prayers. I've come to save you!" he shouted.I frowned and stepped behind Luke without a second thought.A flicker of pain flashed in Nathan's eyes. He asked, "Are you afraid of me?" Then, he smiled bitterly as he explained, "Willow, I know you ruined our wedding because of your memory loss. You're only marrying Luke because you've been tricked."What happened before was my fault. I shouldn't have treated you that way. You can't marry Luke. He's only doing it t

Nathan pointed the gun at his own chest. "Willow, you just lost your memory, so I don't blame you," he said. "But you still know I'm your beloved Nate, don't you?"If you won't come back with me, I'll die right here!" He was sure I remembered bits of the past, but what he didn't know was that the memories made me see things more clearly.Ever since I woke up with amnesia, he hadn't shown me a single act of kindness. So, even with the fragmented memories of the past, I no longer felt any love for him."Nathan, do you know what I regret most?" I asked.He seemed to know what I was about to say and shook his head hard. "Willow, I won't believe anything cruel you say right now." It was as if he wanted to stop me from continuing, but at the same time, he was also trying to convince himself not to listen to my goodbye.I chuckled softly, my expression as calm as ever. "My biggest regret in life is letting my mom save you."Nathan broke down in an instant. Then, with a loud bang, th

"I love you, but I kept lying to myself. I told myself I was only marrying you to repay a debt," Nathan said. "It was the only way I could avoid the promise I made to Jessica."As he spoke, he pulled out his phone. On the screen was a photo of me sleeping."I wasn't on the phone with anyone that night," he explained. "I just did something I shouldn't have while looking at your photo."Then, he pulled out the rosary I had thrown away and placed it in my hand. "It's okay. Even if you've forgotten, I can tell you everything," he said. "This is the matching rosary to mine. I had them made when I decided to marry you.""I prayed for us to have an eternity together."I was shocked by everything he had planned. So, he did have feelings for me when I still loved him.But all of it just made me feel sick now."You loved me, but you let everyone accuse me of being shameless and throwing myself at you?" I scoffed. "You loved me, but you left me standing there like a fool at the wedding w

Just then, a car suddenly swerved out from the side and sped right toward me.Nathan grabbed me, and we rolled across the ground a few times before coming to a stop.Nathan didn't even flinch at the pain from being hit. His eyes were filled with nothing but worry when he looked at me.However, the blow had hit the old wound on my head, and I blacked out on the spot.…When I opened my eyes again, Luke was sitting by the bed. He anxiously looked at the doctor, then back at me."Mrs. Patton hit her head. Whether her memories will return or not depends on further evaluation," the doctor said.My throat was dry when I asked Luke, "You're my husband?"Luke frowned and said, "You better not forget this time. We're having a baby!"When he saw me covering my mouth and laughing, only then did he realize I was just teasing him."So, do you remember anything from before?" he asked.Just then, Nathan pushed open the door.I lightly shook my head. Then, I glanced past Nathan like he was
