When Adrian Cole wakes from a near-fatal accident, his past is nothing but a blur. Faces, names, and memories vanish-except one. To everyone's shock, the only person he remembers is his on-call nurse, Clara Hayes. But Clara isn't just his nurse. She's the woman he once loved... and the one he left behind in pieces. Bound by duty yet haunted by the past, Clara hides the truth of who she really is, convincing herself that keeping his secret - and her distance - is the only way to survive his recovery. As Adrian struggles to piece together who he was, Clara is caught between the man he used to be and the man he's becoming - kind, gentle, and heartbreakingly familiar. Old wounds reopen, old sparks reignite, and the line between healing and hurting begins to blur. Now, as fragments of Adrian's memory return, so does the pain that tore them apart. Now, they must both face the hardest question of all: Is their love worth remembering?

Chapter 1 The day the world went silent

The night was supposed to be a celebration. Champagne flutes clinked under the glow of London's skyline, laughter echoed across the rooftop, and Adrian Cole had never looked more alive.

At thirty-one, he was the name whispered in boardrooms and printed on glossy magazine covers - the man who turned legacy into empire. But as his driver took the winding road down from the party, the rain came harder, and the flashing city lights became a blur against the glass.

Adrian leaned back, his phone vibrating endlessly - messages from investors, friends, and one woman he couldn't quite bring himself to reply to. He smiled faintly, that familiar self-assured grin that hid exhaustion. He'd built his life on motion - meetings, mergers, millions - but in that fleeting second when his phone slipped from his hand and he bent to pick it up, everything changed.

The screech of tires. A flash of blinding light. Metal twisting, glass shattering, a sound that tore through the night. Then, nothing.

When Adrian opened his eyes again ,three days later , the world was white. Too white. The ceiling, the sheets, the faint humming of a machine beside him - sterile, still, unreal. His throat was dry, and his head throbbed like it was filled with fog.

He tried to sit up, but a hand pressed gently against his chest. "Easy there," a man's voice said, calm and practiced. "You've been through quite a lot, Mr. Cole." Adrian blinked, trying to focus on the face hovering above him - an older man in a white coat. A doctor, obviously. But Mr. Cole? The name sounded... distant. The door opened again, and two figures stepped in. A man and a woman - elegant, expensively dressed, both wearing the kind of expression that looked too strained to be casual.

"Adrian..." the woman breathed, tears shining in her eyes. She reached for his hand. "Darling, it's Mum." He stared.

Mum? "I-I'm sorry," Adrian said, his voice rough.

"Do I know you?"

The silence that followed could have broken glass. Richard Cole froze mid-step, his knuckles tightening around the edge of the bed. Evelyn's tears slipped down her cheek, and the doctor exchanged a worried glance with the nurse beside him.

"You don't... remember us?" Richard asked, voice thick, disbelief shadowing his face. Adrian shook his head slowly.

"I don't remember anything." The weight of that sentence hit the room like a storm.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
