My "Amnesiac" Ex's Delightful Crash-Out
After four years of secrecy, Iris McGuire was finally allowed to go public as Alfred Sinclair's girlfriend.
By then, Alfred had already found himself a new lover.
To rid himself of Iris, he orchestrated a car accident that nearly cost her life, all so he could feign amnesia.
While Iris lay injured in the hospital, Alfred, his new girlfriend, and his friends even placed bets on how long Iris would continue to devote herself to him without question.
What Alfred did not realize was that Iris was no fool. The moment she discovered his amnesia was fake, she chose to leave him for good.
While he flaunted his new lover, Iris tossed her engagement ring away. While he treated her like an unwanted side piece, another darkly handsome man cornered her with quiet confidence and unmistakable intent.
While Alfred waited for her to crawl back and beg for his attention, Iris was already selecting her wedding gown.
When her career soared to unprecedented heights, turning her into the youngest female billionaire ever listed by Forbes, Alfred finally appeared before her again. Certain of himself, he dropped to one knee and held out a ring.
"My memories have returned," he declared. "Let's get married, Ris."
Iris lifted her hand, her fingers brushing the gleaming 10-carat diamond already on her finger. She opened her mouth to speak.
Before she could utter a word, the man behind her slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.
"Get lost, scum," he sneered. "Don't pollute the air she breathes."
