At my best friend's birthday party, I drank tainted wine and passed out. When I woke up, I heard the doctor say it could cause severe nerve damage. I teased my fiancé Cayden Hewitt, asking who I was and where I was. He hesitated, staring at me, then called my rival Liam Hewitt. "You're Julia. He's your fiancé. You're getting married soon." I froze, thinking he was joking too. My best friend, Vivian Green, slipped her arm through Cayden's, looking every bit like a couple in love. Eventually, I was about to marry Liam. But Cayden, with eyes red from emotion, stood in front of the car to stop it, pleading, "Julia, don't marry him. I've realized I can't let you go."
At my best friend's birthday party, I drank tainted wine and passed out.
When I woke up, I heard the doctor say it could cause severe nerve damage.
I teased my fiancé Cayden Hewitt, asking who I was and where I was.
He hesitated, staring at me, then called my rival Liam Hewitt. "You're Julia. He's your fiancé. You're getting married soon."
I froze, thinking he was joking too.
My best friend, Vivian Green, slipped her arm through Cayden's, looking every bit like a couple in love.
...
I had expected Cayden to laugh and say, "You're my dearest Julia, of course."
We had been together three years, the couple everyone envied.
But Cayden paused for two seconds. "Hold on."
Before I could stop him, he pushed his chair back and ran out.
He cornered the doctor, asking if alcohol poisoning could cause memory loss.
After a vague response, he did something that stunned me.
He made a call and summoned Liam Hewitt, my rival.
Before entering my room, they spoke at the door.
Probably checking through the window to see if I was asleep, Cayden didn't lower his voice. "When we go in, say you're her fiancé. She doesn't remember anything now."
My heart sank inch by inch. In Cayden's voice, I heard no worry or panic, only excitement, barely concealed glee.
"I asked the doctor. Her condition is temporary. She might recover soon," Cayden said.
Liam's deep, magnetic voice came low. "Then why drag me into this charade?"
His tone carried impatience and a chill.
He was Cayden's cousin, and we had clashed countless times, publicly and privately, each encounter a battle to tear the other apart.
Cayden coughed and lowered his voice. "Just do what I say. Think of it as doing me a favor."
"No way," Liam shot back coldly, starting to leave, but Cayden must have grabbed him.
"Come on, man, don't go. I'll be straight with you. She's been pushing for the wedding a lot lately, and it's driving me crazy. Since she doesn't remember anything, just give your cousin a break, let me have some peace for a while."
Liam let out a cold laugh. "That's not the whole story, is it?"
Cayden coughed again. "I... I've got someone else to keep happy. Besides, you're not losing out here."
My hand tightened on the bedsheet, my heart adrift like a lone boat on a stormy sea.
"Think about it," Cayden went on. "If you're her fiancé, you can get her to sign that relocation agreement. You've been frustrated about her holding out on that, haven't you?"
A heavy echo rang in my hollow chest. I couldn't believe the person I had been so close to hours ago could betray me like this.
In my panic, the door swung open. They walked in, followed by Vivian.
When Cayden saw my eyes open, he froze, then quickly pushed Liam forward. "You're Julia. He's your fiancé. You're getting married soon."
He didn't forget to distance himself. "I'm his cousin. We'll all be family soon."
I tried to sit up, but my trembling hand braced against the bed. "You..."
Vivian stepped forward, casually slipping her arm through Cayden's.
Her head rested lightly on his shoulder, as if she, not I, had been his partner for three years.
Cayden's eyebrow twitched in surprise, but he quickly composed himself.
His glance at me held a flicker of guilt, and he touched his nose awkwardly.
The last shred of confusion and hope in me cleared, leaving only pain lingering in every breath.
I steadied myself, lifted my head slightly, and gave Liam a faint smile. "No wonder you're the only one here who feels familiar."
Liam's brow furrowed, his sharp eyes studying me, as if trying to see through my thoughts.
I shifted and sat up fully. "Fiancé... sorry, I forgot your name. Take me home."
