Fake Amnesia, Real Betrayal: I Left, He Crawled Back

“In the fifth year of Irene Shaw's marriage to Ethan Hart, he was involved in a car accident and lost his memory. No matter how she tried to prove that they had once loved each other, Ethan still insisted on a divorce. His reasoning was hard to refute.

She lowered her gaze, feeling a serene detachment, "I really don't know him."”
