All Chapters of The Goodbye He Never Saw Coming : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

OLIVIAWhen Winter revealed that I was the one who pushed her into the pool and made her lose her memories, I wanted to strangle her with my bare hands. The little witch set a trap for me, and I walked right into it like an amateur. The smile on her face still makes my blood boil. I should have crushed her when I had the chance. But what really annoys me is Mike's pathetic reaction. The moment I get back to our room, he's already grabbing my stuff and throwing it around like he's playing basketball with my designer clothes. "Pack your things," he says without even looking at me. "I told you to do this earlier, but since you didn't listen, I'm helping you now." "Mike, please just listen to me..." "No." His voice cuts through my words like a knife through butter. "I'm done with you. I can't share a room with someone who tried to kill my fiancée." I watch him toss my clothes and makeup into a pile like they're garbage. What a drama queen. "It wasn't like that! I never meant

MIKE This is torture. I sit here pretending to focus on Olivia's lips while my whole world crumbles across the contest area. Winter is kissing that bastard Nathaniel like he's the only man alive, and I swear my heart is going to explode. She looks so lost in him. So completely absorbed. The way she's kissing him—that's how she used to kiss me. That passion, that heat, that complete surrender. It belongs to me. My hands shake as I watch Nath's fingers tangle in her hair. That's my hair to touch. My woman to kiss. I tried to stop this. I begged Winter not to participate in this stupid kissing contest, but she looked at me like I was some stranger bothering her. Like I meant nothing. She's going to hate herself when she remembers. Winter loves me more than her own life—she tells me every day. When her memory comes back and she realizes what she's been doing with him, what she's been letting him do to her body, she'll be devastated. But what if it's too late by then? The t

TREASUREMike's call hits me like a surprise math quiz on a Monday morning, and I can't stop pacing around my room afterward.Winter has lost her memory. She's with some strange man who's convinced her he's her fiancé. She's pushing Mike away like he's trying to sell her a timeshare.This is a disaster of epic proportions. Like, Titanic-meets-tornado disaster.I know my sister better than anyone, and I know how much she loves Mike. She talks about him so much I could write his biography without ever meeting him. She lights up whenever his name comes up and counts down the days to their wedding like it's the release date for a new Marvel movie.If she loses him because of this memory thing and then gets her memory back later, she'll never forgive herself. She might not even want to live, and that thought makes me panic harder than when I realized I'd been wearing my shirt inside out for an entire day.I grab clothes and stuff them into my backpack like I'm fleeing a zombie apocalypse.

NATH My blood runs cold, but honestly, I'm not that surprised. Now I'm realizing Dad wasn't just making suggestions, he was actually making plans behind my back. "I've always told you that when it comes to marriage, I'll choose who I want to be with. How could you arrange an engagement without my permission?" "You know her, Nathaniel. You two were very close as children. Have you forgotten Bernard? Her father is my oldest friend." Bernard. The name hits me with recognition. I do remember him - my father's business partner and close friend. And I vaguely remember there was a daughter, but she's been living abroad for years. Of course Dad would see this as the perfect match - combining business with his desperate desire to see me settled down. "Listen, Dad," I say, and despite the chaos of this situation, I'm not really angry with him. I know how desperately he wants me settled down, how he sees marriage as the missing piece of my life. He's mentioned potential matches before,

WINTER My heart is pounding so hard I'm surprised it doesn't just leap out of my chest and start doing the Macarena. When Beauty explained how she ended up as Nath's supposed fiancée, guilt hit me like a truck carrying a load of karma with my name on it. This woman flew here thinking she was going to plan her wedding, and instead she got publicly rejected because I'm in the picture, spinning lies like I'm competing for some kind of World's Worst Person award. I've been pretending to have amnesia, making Nath believe I genuinely can't remember my past. And now, with Treasure standing here looking confused and worried, my carefully constructed house of cards is teetering dangerously. But I can't tell Nath the truth. Not yet. Not when I have a chance at winning this contest and finally getting my dream job at Valcour. Once I have that secured, then I can come clean about everything. He'll understand then. He has to. Right now, the only thing I can do is get Treasure away from here b
