After a terrifying rock-climbing fall, I woke up in a hospital, my past a blank slate thanks to selective amnesia. My best friend, Chloe, gently informed me I'd lost all memory of my long-term, now ex-boyfriend, Ethan Cole. Though I felt nothing for this forgotten man, he and his glamorous, vindictive girlfriend, Bella Rossi, swiftly re-entered my life, each encounter proving more unsettling than the last. Their malicious disdain for me was palpable. From Bella staging a fall and Ethan's shocking physical assault that broke my hand, to his public humiliation of me and Bella's brazen plagiarism of my baking designs-which Ethan shockingly validated as a judge-it felt like a relentless campaign to destroy me. Bella even tried to burn me alive at his parents' house, and Ethan left me in the flames. How could this man, whom I supposedly loved, be so utterly cruel, even after my amnesia wiped him from my mind? His continuous betrayal, culminating in the public destruction of my career and Bella's desperate attempt to run me over, deepened my bewilderment and pain, leaving me questioning everything. But in the chaos, a kind, genuine baker named Noah Evans emerged, shielding me, showing me what true love felt like. And when a final, devastating trauma jolted my memories back, I faced a choice: succumb to the past or embrace the peaceful, loving future Noah offered, cementing my new life far from Ethan's toxic shadow.

Introduction

After a terrifying rock-climbing fall, I woke up in a hospital, my past a blank slate thanks to selective amnesia.

My best friend, Chloe, gently informed me I'd lost all memory of my long-term, now ex-boyfriend, Ethan Cole.

Though I felt nothing for this forgotten man, he and his glamorous, vindictive girlfriend, Bella Rossi, swiftly re-entered my life, each encounter proving more unsettling than the last.

Their malicious disdain for me was palpable.

From Bella staging a fall and Ethan's shocking physical assault that broke my hand, to his public humiliation of me and Bella's brazen plagiarism of my baking designs-which Ethan shockingly validated as a judge-it felt like a relentless campaign to destroy me.

Bella even tried to burn me alive at his parents' house, and Ethan left me in the flames.

How could this man, whom I supposedly loved, be so utterly cruel, even after my amnesia wiped him from my mind?

His continuous betrayal, culminating in the public destruction of my career and Bella's desperate attempt to run me over, deepened my bewilderment and pain, leaving me questioning everything.

But in the chaos, a kind, genuine baker named Noah Evans emerged, shielding me, showing me what true love felt like.

And when a final, devastating trauma jolted my memories back, I faced a choice: succumb to the past or embrace the peaceful, loving future Noah offered, cementing my new life far from Ethan's toxic shadow.

Jake, the celebrated captain of Phoenix Rising, had just led his team to an epic Grand Finals victory. His wife and team owner, Alexis, beaming on stage, announced a $200,000 performance bonus for his triumph. He thought things were finally looking up, perhaps even for their marriage. But the promised cash bonus quickly turned to ash in his mouth when it arrived not as money, but as worthless digital tokens. Simultaneously, Alexis lavished a $200,000 cash signing bonus and a luxury sports car on Ethan, a new recruit with average skills but a massive social media following. When Jake confronted her, Alexis waved him off, citing "brand optics" and Ethan's "engagement metrics" as more important than Jake's championship wins. Loyal young players who spoke up for Jake were swiftly punished, silencing dissent within the team. The callous disregard for their shared history escalated; he found himself locked out of his own home by Alexis, accused of being "irresponsible" after just wanting a night out. She even forgot their sacred shared day, his mother's death anniversary, only to plan a lavish launch party for Ethan on that exact date. He felt a deep, sickening knot of betrayal and injustice twisting in his gut. How could the woman he'd built everything with, the team they'd founded from scratch, treat him with such calculated cruelty and contempt? Was his value truly zero compared to a TikTok hype machine? The final blow came in front of the entire team: when Ethan faked an injury, Alexis slapped Jake across the face, screamed at him to apologize, and then handed him a promotional gaming mouse as his "severance," demanding he teach his replacement, Ethan, how to be captain. That burning sting on his cheek became the fire of his resolve.

My eyes snapped open, a raw scream tearing from my throat. It wasn't a dream; it was the horrifying reality I'd already lived: Emily's agonizing death. But now, miraculously, I was back. Back to that very morning, with one mission: stop the tragedy fueled by a letter. Emily's letter, meant as a desperate survival guide for us in her absence, was turning into a death warrant in the wrong hands. I knew its true, terrifying purpose, and I desperately tried to intercept it before my family could find it. But fate, it seemed, had other, crueler plans. My brother-in-law, Mark, found it first. Then my fiancé, David. And finally, my own younger brother, Kevin. Ignorant to Emily's true meaning, they twisted her protective warning into a terrifying prophecy of doom, unleashing their worst fears. Driven by pure panic and overwhelming selfishness, they actively sabotaged Emily. Mark publicly exposed her top-secret mission, David leaked her operational area to the dark web, and Kevin, my own brother, became their accomplice. They repeatedly betrayed me, physically assaulted me, and even bound me, watching as Emily was caught in their self-made trap while I was powerless. My heart shattered into a million pieces, consumed by a searing rage and agonizing despair. How could the people I loved become the greatest threat to my sister's life and my own sanity? But then, through a horrifying live video of Emily captured, I heard her speak. Her seemingly nonsensical words were a secret code, a childhood encryption only I understood. A final, desperate plea from a sister against all odds. I deciphered her hidden message, pinpointed her location, and alerted a retired FBI Director. Emily was rescued, but the unimaginable cost of her family's betrayal came due. Those who acted out of fear and selfishness now face federal charges, consequences for their reckless actions. Justice, tempered by the bitter taste of shattered trust, finally arrived.
