Chapter 1

Yara's POVI tossed my wedding ring into the trash, where it landed with a sharp metallic clatter.Both women stared at me. Yvette Lane frowned, but before she could say anything, Nora Sinclair's face lit up."Yara! You're finally here! Look at me. Don't I look beautiful?"She gathered up her skirt and twirled in front of me, too excited to wait for an answer."Julian and I passed a bridal shop once, and I just happened to mention that I liked this dress. I can't believe he remembered." She held up her hand, admiring the ring on her finger. "And this ring is exactly my favorite style. Julian told me you've been helping him get everything ready for the wedding, too. Yara, I'm so lucky to have a best friend like you."For a moment, I couldn't speak.Now I understood why Julian Pierce had changed the wedding dress at the last minute after I'd spent so long choosing one, and why the diamond in the backup ring was twice the size of the original.The wedding I'd put so much time and effort

After leaving the reception, I emailed my resignation to HR. The reply came almost immediately.[Are you sure you want to resign? Do we need to let Mr. Pierce know?][No. Don't tell him.]They didn't press me.[All right. But it's too late tonight. You'll need to come in tomorrow morning to submit your resignation letter.]I agreed, went home, and started packing.Not long after, my phone buzzed. Yvette had tagged me in the four-person group chat called "Nora's Recovery Plan."[Yara, did you seriously get mad and leave again?][Nora's been looking forward to marrying Julian for so long. We couldn't bear to disappoint her, so we planned to give her a fake wedding.][We knew you'd be upset, which is why we didn't tell you.]Yale, as usual, treated the whole thing like a joke.[Exactly. Nora lost her memory saving you. You don't have to be so petty about everything.]Julian sent only one short message.[Be good. Next time, I'll give you an even bigger wedding.]I'd lost count of how many

I checked into the first hotel I found for the night. Once I'd drafted my resignation letter, I made another call."I'm accepting the position you offered me. I'll be landing in Moranta tomorrow."The person on the other end was delighted and agreed immediately.Four hours after I booked my flight, my phone lit up with a call from Julian.I hesitated, then answered.He sounded tired. "Yara, you left the group chat?"Before I could respond, he continued, "Stop making a fuss. I talked to Nora, and she said you can come back. You'll have to handle the cooking and cleaning, though."A humorless laugh escaped me. "Julian Pierce, do you people seriously think I'm your housekeeper?""Don't say that. You know what Nora's going through." His tone made it clear he thought I was the unreasonable one. "Just do as you're told. She's having everyone over for dinner tomorrow and already made a list. Pick up the groceries and be home on time."A long shopping list appeared in our chat.Cola-glazed win

The crowd went quiet for a moment, but before I could say anything else, Yvette shoved her way through the reporters and slapped me across the other cheek.My skin burned beneath my palm as I stared at her in disbelief. She didn't look at me again. Instead, she turned toward the cameras with reddened eyes and apologized to the reporters."I'm sorry you all had to witness this. The truth is, my sister has been in love with Mr. Pierce for years, but he's never returned her feelings. I just never thought she'd write something this disgusting and then turn around and accuse him of being responsible for it."Before I could recover from that betrayal, Yale came through the crowd with Julian."Yara, how low can you go?" he snapped. "Nora's husband is the one man you couldn't stay away from?"There was guilt in Julian's eyes when he looked at me, but he buried it before facing the cameras."Ms. Lane and I are nothing more than ordinary friends. There has never been anything inappropriate betw

Julian stared at the next document blankly.It was Yara's miscarriage report.She had been two months pregnant.For a moment, he couldn't process what he was seeing. Then the past few weeks began rearranging themselves in his mind. Yara had barely been eating. She'd mentioned more than once that she wasn't sleeping well. At the time, none of them had thought much of it. All three of them had been too wrapped up in Nora, too focused on keeping her happy and helping her recover.Now every one of those moments came back with a different meaning, and the weight of what they'd ignored hit him all at once.His chest tightened.The doctor watched him for a moment before handing over another file. "There's something else you need to see. This is Ms. Sinclair's test report from six months ago."Julian snatched it from her.[Examination result: Patient Nora Sinclair has made a full recovery.]The report was dated six months earlier.The conclusion, printed in glaring red, seemed to burn into hi

Nora panicked completely."I... I..."Her ears flushed red as she stumbled over the words, but after several attempts, she still couldn't put together a complete sentence.Yale's expression darkened. He gave a disappointed laugh and shook his head. "So you really have been lying to us."Yvette tightened her grip on the report. "Why, Nora? Ever since you lost your memory, the four of us have bent over backward for you. We've done everything we could for you. Why would you lie to us for this long?"The flush crept deeper across Nora's face until embarrassment finally gave way to anger."Because of Yara! If I hadn't given her my spot at that freshman get-together, she never would've met Julian in the first place. They never would've ended up dating for all those years!"Her voice rose as everything she'd kept buried finally came pouring out."I was supposed to be the one with Julian. I'm only taking back what should've been mine from the start! I liked him before Yara ever did. I had a cr

Back at the house, the movers had already made several trips in and out, yet they still hadn't cleared even half of Nora's things.Julian stood near the wall with Yvette's phone in his hand. He called Yara nine times, and every call was rejected. On the tenth attempt, he found that she'd blocked Yvette's number too.His arm dropped to his side, and he looked over to Yale.Across the room, Yale lowered his own phone and shook his head. "Same here. She won't answer me, and now I'm blocked too."Yvette's eyes filled almost immediately. "She means it this time. She really wants all four of us out of her life."Her voice broke. "I'm her sister. What am I supposed to say to my parents when I visit their graves next year, after what I did to her?"She covered her face and sank into a crouch, crying.Yale looked just as stricken. "I'm no better. I kept joking around at her expense all these months. I... I helped drive her away too."Julian said nothing.He stayed against the wall, his eyes slo

Chapter 8

Yara's POVBy the time my plane landed in Moranta, someone was already waiting to take my suitcase.The young man who came to meet me was from the same place as I was. He greeted me with an easy smile and held out his hand. "Ms. Lane, welcome. I'm one of the company's managers. I'm Nate Avery, just call me Nate."I shook his hand with a smile. "Nice to meet you. I didn't expect your management team to be this young."He grinned, revealing two slightly pointed canine teeth. "You're pretty impressive yourself. The executives have been trying everything they could think of to recruit you. We're just glad you finally said yes."He wasn't exaggerating.The company had sent me nine offers.The first time, I'd believed Julian when he promised that after giving Nora our pre-wedding trip, he'd take me somewhere even farther away for our honeymoon. I turned the offer down because I wanted to stay close to home and focus on our future together.The second time, I believed his promise that he'd bu

Chapter 9

Over the next few days, I was buried in paperwork and getting everything squared away with the company. By the time I finished the last of the formalities, a full week had passed. With a thick stack of documents in my arms, I finally felt as though I could breathe again, and I was humming to myself on the way home when someone suddenly grabbed my arm as I rounded a corner.I looked up into a pair of exhausted eyes."Yara. I finally found you."My gaze moved from Julian to the two people standing behind him.Yale and Yvette.A faint laugh escaped me. "What is this, a group vacation? You seem to be missing one."Julian caught the sarcasm immediately, and guilt flickered across his face."I'm sorry, Yara. We believed Nora, and you ended up getting hurt because of it."I raised an eyebrow. An apology from Julian Pierce was something I never thought I'd hear.He lowered his eyes before continuing. "We've been looking for you ever since you left. I didn't realize how much you meant to me u
