Self Proclaimed Princess

I was picked up by Rylan Lloyd, and everyone knew that I loved him uncontrollably.

When his one true love, Madeline Yates, was injured, I donated blood to her until I was completely exhausted.

When he and Madeline were having sex, I provided them with condoms.

When Madeline returned from abroad, he made me wait for him in the snow for three hours wearing only a thin dress, and I ended up getting pneumonia and falling into a coma.

Upon waking, I had lost my memory and stared blankly at Rylan, who stood by my hospital bed with a frosty stare.

"Who are you?"

His icy demeanor suddenly softened as he touched my head and said, "I'm your brother."

Rylan then called my long-time rival, Aydan Baxter, claiming he was my fiancé.

Later, as he wished, I married Aydan, and Rylan regretted it...

With sharp pains piercing my lungs, I struggled to open my eyes, barely making out a tall figure standing by the bed.

The figure slowly bent down, and a face with striking features gradually became clear.

Seeing me awake, Rylan impatiently questioned, "Tessa Hewitt, is acting like this really worth it? Are you risking your life just to get me to come see you? You ruined the end of Madeline's concert. Do you know what a mess you've caused?"

His barrage of questions left me confused, and my head throbbed even more.

"I don't know you," I said in a hoarse voice, my hand fumbling towards the call button by the bed. "Please leave immediately, or I'll call for help."

Rylan sneered, his eyes filled with disdain, "Are you pretending to have amnesia? Isn't that old-fashioned?"

"I don't understand what you're saying." I finally pressed the button, and the sharp sound of the bell shattered the stagnant air in the hospital room. "Nurse! Someone is harassing me here!"

The piercing sound tore through the stillness of the room.

Rylan's face froze in surprise, seemingly unprepared for my action.

As the nurse's hurried footsteps approached, anger and some complex emotions were intensely struggling in his eyes.

Ultimately, his hand gently rested on the top of my head.

"I'm your brother."

"My brother?" I repeated instinctively, my voice hoarse.

Rylan's hand paused slightly on my head, his tone deliberately softened, "Yes, I'm here. Don't be afraid."

I blinked blankly, feeling no sense that he was my brother.

But the arriving nurse confirmed his claim as my guardian.

At this moment, the hospital room door opened, and a man with a distinguished and refined demeanor walked in.

He was handsome, with a calm and composed demeanor, and his well-tailored suit accentuated his strong shoulders.

Strangely, despite having no memory, the sight of him eased my tense nerves slightly.

Before he could speak, Rylan introduced, "Tessa, this is Aydan, your fiancé."

"My Fiancé?" I suddenly looked up at Aydan, my eyes wide with shock.

I woke up to find that I not only had an older brother, but also a fiancé?

Although Aydan was exceptionally handsome, the pace was far too rapid...

Aydan's reaction was even more pronounced.

He turned sharply to Rylan, frowned, "Who is her fiancé? Rylan, stop making random connections."

Well, my fiancé was not into me.

Rylan crossed his arms, confident, "She has amnesia."

Upon hearing this, Aydan's previous impatience and rejection subsided significantly, and a complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

It wasn't sympathy or concern but rather... amusement and curiosity.

"Alright then," Aydan stepped forward, extending his hand to me, "Come home with me."

Still in a daze, I handed my weak hand over to his hand almost without thinking.

"Tessa!" Rylan's face darkened instantly as he raised his hand, forcefully pressing my other shoulder down, pushing my half-risen body back onto the bed, "You're not married yet! She has to come home with me."

Aydan didn't release my hand. Instead, he tightened his grip.

He stepped forward, confronting Rylan, "Rylan. What she needs now is rest, not arguments."

Rylan's gaze, cold and piercing, fell upon our clasped hands.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Just when I thought the standoff would continue, Aydan suddenly released my hand.

Then, without warning, he bent down and, with remarkable agility, slipped his arms under my knees and across my back.

Under Rylan's shocked gaze, he lifted me steadily from the hospital bed.

"What are you doing!" Rylan roared.
