Chapter 1

When my ninth “husband” got home, I was daydreaming on the couch.His cheerful voice disrupted my thoughts. “Annie, I’m home.”I angled my head to look at the man in the doorway. “Who are you?” I frowned, feigning confusion. “Are you my husband? I seem to recall my husband’s name being Lucien Rook.”The man froze for a second before retorting, “No! That’s… I’m your husband’s friend. Anneliese, don’t worry. I’ll call and get your husband to come home right now!”After speaking, the man dug out his phone and hurriedly strode to the balcony. “Lucien, Anneliese has amnesia again! Whose turn is it this time? Hurry over and swap shifts with me!”I hid by the window to eavesdrop and heard Lucien’s friends all start to refuse the job through the speaker. “Lucien, Anneliese is too needy. It’s impossible to handle her if we have to look after her twenty-four hours a day.”“That’s right. Anneliese is great, but she’s too controlling. No man on this earth wouldn’t cheat a little.”“Wh

The next day, Seth brought me to a bar, claiming that he wanted to reintroduce me to his friends. When I stepped into the private room, I saw Lucien embracing a woman, kissing her with wanton abandon.Seth coughed softly and interrupted them. When Lucien saw us, he was momentarily stunned. Then, he slowly stood up. “Hello, I’m Lucien’s best friend, Seth Kaplan.” Lucien stuck out his hand and calmly introduced himself. “This is my girlfriend, Holly Saunders.”“Oh.” I nodded but did not take Lucien’s hand to shake. Holly, however, I definitely knew. She was Lucien’s first girlfriend. Back in the day, they broke up because their families did not approve of their relationship. Later on, they took the chance to get back together when I lost my memories.Lucien had refused to go home for the past three years because of her. Many of Lucien’s other friends were in the private room. Quite a few of them had pretended to be my husband before. At that moment, they were all acting

Chapter 3

“Holly, Annie is at fault, but you shouldn’t insult her that way,” Lucien said coldly. Seth frowned as he looked at Holly. The look in his gaze was frigid. “Don’t ever let me hear any insults about Annie from you from now on.”After saying that, he threw an arm around me and led us away. We went straight home. The second we were through the door, I held Seth close by the waist, a hand caressing his abs. “Honey, you were so cool when you were defending me. I love it!”Seth’s ears turned red. He coughed softly. “That’s great.”I reached out to undo his belt.“Honey, it’s so cold. Let’s get in bed and do something vigorous to warm up, shall we?”“It’s still early.”“Who ever said there’s a strict hour to go to bed?” I kissed his Adam’s apple and lowered my voice to a sultry purr. “Honey, I lost my memories. I forgot what sleeping with someone is like. Won’t you help me get those memories back?”Seth swallowed. When he spoke again, his voice was husky. “Annie, stop messing a

They went to the smoking room. Seth lit a cigarette. In the haze of smoke, he mumbled, “I didn’t.”“Then what’s up with all the marks on her neck?”Seth paused for a few seconds. “Got bitten by mosquitoes, I guess.”Lucien frowned. He was clearly unconvinced. Seth blew a smoke ring and sneered. “Besides, what does it matter if I touched her? It’s not like you intend to stay with her. Why don’t you just divorce her?”Lucien reacted agitatedly. “No way! I’ve known Annie for so many years! There’s love between us. The thing is, Holly’s pregnant now. I can’t leave her right now.”“Oh.” Seth scoffed. His tone was sarcastic as he said, “So you want them both. You’re despicable, Lucien.”Lucien was silent for a beat. He sounded unsure as he said, “Seth, when Annie loses her memory again, let’s switch back.”“We’ll talk again when that actually happens.”Lucien felt uneasy at the lack of a certain answer. He stared at Seth, his expression stern. “I just feel that something’s goin

“You traitor!” Lucien raised a fist and aimed it at Seth. “How dare you, Seth Kaplan. To think I trusted you like you were my best friend. You tricked me!”Seth was struck so hard that he stumbled a couple of steps back. He wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. His tone was icy as he said, “You were the one who shoved her at me. From the moment you started tricking her, you should have already anticipated this happening!”“Traitor!” Lucien was incensed. He once again raised his fist. After fumbling to get my clothes, I immediately rushed forward. “What are you doing?” I jumped in front of Seth to shield him. I shouted at Lucien, “Mr. Kaplan, I’m performing my marital duties with my husband! How does it concern you? Why are you hitting him?”Still enraged, Lucien grabbed my arms. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “Annie, I’m your husband. I’m Lucien Rook, not him!”I shoved him away. “Are you mental? Have you drunk too much? What are you saying?”Anxi

The next morning, Lucien came back.He was dragging a huge suitcase behind him.“What are you doing?” I questioned him. Lucien boldly walked through the door. “Annie, this is our home. I’m simply coming back.”Seth came out of the kitchen with his breakfast. When he saw Lucien, his expression turned dark. Lucien glared daggers at him, his tone mocking. “This is my home, Seth. Get out of here!”Seth calmly took off his apron and straightened his sleeves. He looked at me and asked, “Annie, will you leave with me?”“Sure.” I nodded easily. Lucien reached out and grabbed my hand. His voice was stern as he said, “You can’t go with him, Annie. I’m your real husband! We met before we were even twenty years old. I’ve been with you through your hardest times. How could you leave with some other guy?”I swung his hand away. I impatiently said, “I don’t want to listen to anything you have to say. When I lost my memories, everyone said he’s my husband, so I’ll take him as my husband.

Chapter 7

I moved into Seth’s home. However, I could not shake Lucien off. He found his way there as well. He timed his visit for a time when Seth would be out on a business trip. He stopped me when I went out for a stroll. “Let’s have a chat, Annie.”I simply walked around him. Coldly, I said, “Mr. Kaplan, there’s nothing we have to talk about.”“I already told you my last name isn’t Kaplan!” Lucien roared angrily. “Annie, I’m Lucien Rook. I’m your legal husband. I spent ten years with you! How could you forget me?”Seeing how Lucien was losing it before me, I only found the whole situation ridiculous. I remembered how he had reacted when I was diagnosed with amnesia. He had been overjoyed, acting as if he had won the lottery. Yet, he was acting like he was in such pain before me. What was the point?“Alright, Mr. Rook.” I smiled. “It doesn’t matter to me if you’re Mr. Kaplan or Mr. Rook. Regardless, you don’t exist in my memories. Please stop bothering me.”After saying that, I

Chapter 8

While I was hospitalized, the two men took turns visiting me in my hospital room. After throwing up blood, Lucien became more frail. He had dark bags under his eyes, and there were short bristles on his chin. He looked sickly overall. When he came to see me, he only kept apologizing and asking to get back together while bringing out the marriage certificate and photo to keep going on about how we were married. Every time he came, I ruthlessly sent him packing. However, when Seth came by, he did not say much. He only sat in the room like a statue. He had a few photos of us together projected the entire time. These two men annoyed me beyond imagination. In the end, I secretly left the hospital when I was discharged.I did not care about Lucien Rook or Seth Kaplan. I was tired of playing house with any man. I did not want to play this game with either of them. I canceled my phone number and secretly went off to be a teacher in some secluded town. My parents had died when I

Chapter 9

“Annie…” Seth’s fiery gaze was aimed at me. His tone was beseeching. “Please forgive me just this once? Please? I swear that this will be the one time I ever lied to you. It will never happen again.” I grinned and shrugged. “We’ll see how well you do first.”After that, Seth moved into the town. He was from a rich family and had grown up with a silver spoon. But he gave up his easy life to stay in a run-down house and eat plain fare. He went to teach with me and farm the land. The days were trying, but there was joy in them, too.Time flew by. Three months later, I received a call from an unknown caller. It was Lucien calling. He sounded weak through the phone, and his voice carried a thread of pain. “Annie, I don’t have long on this earth. Maybe this is my comeuppance? After I die, will you come to my funeral?”“No.” My voice was calm and even. “Mr. Rook, I don’t remember you. Our marriage doesn’t count anymore. I will not go and mourn you even after you die.”After a
