Chapter 2
Chad wouldn’t buy that I was his wife. [
Next day, I marched in with our marriage certificate. [
He stared at the photo and date for a solid minute, no reaction.
“Any bells ringing?” |
I asked, holding my breath as I watched his face. [
When he looked up, those cold, unfamiliar eyes iced over my hope.[]
Still nothing.
Just then, the door swung open. Eve’s perky voice trilled in: []
“Honey, I made your

favorite-“]
She fidgeted, eyeing me: 0
“Ms. Jones, you’re here again?” ||
That “honey” set off a bomb in my gut.
If not for Eve, I wouldn’t have fought with Chad. If we hadn’t fought, he never would’ve driven out for pie, never crashed, never… forgot.
I couldn’t keep my cool anymore. []
I stormed over and smacked her across the face-*smack*. []

“Ms. Lowe, I told you before: Chad’s married. He’s my husband. Keep your claws off him! You’re a college grad–didn’t your parents teach you decency?”
Eve yelped, covering her cheek, but Chad grabbed her before she could run. []
He pulled her against his chest, rubbing her back, glaring at me like daggers.
“Apologize.”
My chest cramped watching him hold another woman, demanding I say sorry.
No way.
“Chad, we are married! Check the records–three years ago-”
“So what?”
His eyes were ice. [
“Eve told me last night. Our mothers forced the marriage. I never loved you.” []
“She’s lying! We dated, you chased me–you said I was the only one-”
e-” 0
“Enough!”
He cut me off, sneering.
“Heard you made me drive for pie that night. No wonder I can’t stand your spoiled ass.”

“Don’t you get it? You drove because you wanted to make me happy! Because you–“[
“I like sweet girls, like Eve.” [
My heart sank. Even knowing it was amnesia, his words stung.
As Chad cooed at Eve, she shot me a smug grin when he wasn’t looking, then tugged his sleeve, fake – sobbing: []
“Chad, maybe I should go… this isn’t right.” [
He hugged her tighter, nuzzling her hair: “Not your fault. I need you.” [
The ache turned sharp. When he looked at me again, all warmth was gone.
“Listen, Ms. Jones–even if I didn’t lose my memory, we’re done. I love Eve. Stop stalking me.”
I knew yelling wouldn’t help.
Swallowing the lump, I forced calm. Then I held up my hand.[]
“Chad, this ring–is a match to yours. You had them custom–made.”
His eyes flickered as he stared at my ring.
“Inside it says C&J, My forever lover. Our vow.”
I slid it off, offering it.
For three seconds, we locked eyes. [
Maybe he was remembering-
Eve pouted, stamping her foot: “Chad, my food’s getting cold! I woke at six for this–if you let it waste, I’m never cooking again!” |
Chad snapped out of it, chucking her chin: “Let’s eat, babe.”
Eve beamed, looping her arm through his.
“Aren’t you gonna look?” I called.
He stopped, yanked off his own ring, and tossed it into the trash can. []
“That’s my answer.“]
