"Let you go?" He walked over to the bound man and ripped the gag from his mouth. The man immediately started begging. "It was all her! She used the baby to blackmail me into forging her medical reports! She wanted me to poison Elena! I'm innocent — she forced me into everything!" "You bastard!" Vivian screamed. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be pregnant!" Damien had no interest in watching them turn on each other. Trash was trash. He pointed at the man on the floor. "Take him. Cut off what needs cutting. Throw what's left to the rogues."

That thought tore at Amber’s heart. She needed to get his stubborn ass to reconsider the Canadian drug trial. A few months ago, Amber had reached out to the doctor/research scientist who was heading it up for the pharmaceutical company Tremblay-Brown. Dr. Elsie Bradshaw had already found some promising results with a new drug to improve memory loss in patients suffering from a variety of diseases leading to dementia. Now she hoped to trial another drug in development, this one to control involuntary movements.

“To a memory you’ve forgotten. One your mind is buried.” She tensed in the chair. Fingers curling. “Mila? Do you see another door?” “…yes.” “What does it look like?” “Metal. Rusted. Locked.” “Can you open it?” Her breath grew ragged. “There’s screaming behind it.” Adrien kept his voice level. “You’re safe. The door won’t harm you. You’re stronger than the memory.” Silence. Then, a whisper: “The fire.” Adrien’s heart skipped. “Tell me what you see.”

“Or maybe I just like the game.” The driver drops me at the mansion just before midnight. Lights still burn in Alex’s study window, shadows moving behind the glass. For a moment, I pause at the gates, watching. He doesn’t know. None of them do. Inside, I press my back to the door, heartbeat racing, not from guilt, but from how close I came to forgetting this was a game. Daemon wants the woman with the lost memory back. Alex wants to protect me. And neither of them know I remember the truth.

I nodded after staring at her blankly for a long while. It was true that she had a very good memory. All the things inside the box were indeed Daryl's favorite items. She could remember everything about Daryl for life, it seemed. However, I was just a passerby in her life, someone she could just keep in her memories for a short while before I was kicked out. … Bridget and Daryl returned the next day at noon with huge smiles on their faces. "Do you remember how we used to skip classes in high school just to get to that barbecue joint by the beach? You even tore your pants while scaling the school wall and had to lie to our homeroom teacher that a wildcat scratched you instead."

“I´m using my wolf side to communicate with you.” Nolan hurries inside the manor. He returns bearing blankets, which he throws over me and Lucas. I revert to my human form, pulling the blanket closer to my naked body. Lucas does the same and moves closer to my side. I remember everyone. I remember my time working at Wolf Springs Medical Center. And of course, Patrick White, who turned out to be Patrick Grayson. I'm able to remember the entire pack. I invoke memories of our mission at Nexus Labs. It´s all there.

But I was still not in the mood for calls, so I decided to turn my phone off. I woke up the next morning, I didn't know when I slept in. My head was still banging, and I was reminded that my husband was dead. Last night's event kept replaying, I looked beside my nightstand, I took our wedding portrait and looked at the man I married, The one who left me a widow even though he's been gone for a long time his Memories of us were still fresh in my head. Tears filled my eyes, my sight was blurry, I placed the portrait upside down and made my way to the kitchen counter to take some medications for the headache. Knock knock (someone was knocking)

They buzzed around her, promising to double their kindness to make her future bright. My heart ached as I listened. The brothers once made those same promises to me. I knew they still cared about me, but they had chosen someone else over me time and time again. I wondered how they would react if I lost my memory after the surgery. … When I stepped out of my room later, the big villa was quiet. I felt a wave of relief once I realized I was alone. I felt so much more comfortable with everyone gone. I took my time packing up my things and moving them back to the villa my grandparents had left me.

I started keeping a list that night, not on my laptop... nothing that can be found by anyone who happens to walk into my room while I'm at dinner. Just a page torn from an old notebook, folded small enough to fit inside my wallet, where I write down every inconsistency I catch, dated, precise, the same way I used to track discrepancies in Cross Enterprises' shipping manifests back when no one thought to hide anything from the quiet wife in the corner. *The rosemary. The name Hale, and the way his hand froze around a glass. The eleven words through the study door. Serrano, offered freely in the dark, and flinched at over breakfast. Victoria's hesitation, half a second too long.*
