Ever since I woke up, I had heard the name “Vincent” more than once. And every time I tried to recall who he was, a sharp pain would stab through my chest, leaving me breathless.
Something deep inside told me that Vincent was someone deeply connected to me. But if that were true–why couldn’t I remember him
at all?
Even stranger, Ryan had previously claimed Vincent was insignificant.
If that were the case, then why was he having someone keep a close
watch on him?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.
Suddenly, a deep, familiar voice sounded right next to my ear.
“Gabby?”
My heart skipped a beat.
I looked up to see Ryan standing quietly in front of me, studying me with his piercing emerald–green eyes. There was a hint of curiosity in
them.
“Why are you standing here? Were you looking for me? Why didn’t you
come in?”
I forced a smile and tried to sound as natural as possible.

“I was just passing by and overheard you on a call, so I didn’t want to
interrupt.”
Ryan’s expression darkened slightly, but he quickly masked it.
Then, he reached out and ruffled my hair, his voice as warm as gentle
breeze.
“Gabby, if it were you, you would never interrupt me. You will always
be my top priority.”
My heart pounded uncontrollably.
‘This man–how could he always say things like that so effortlessly, so
sincerely?‘
At that moment, I felt completely overwhelmed.
But Ryan, seemingly unaware of my inner turmoil, naturally took my
hand and led me into the study, “Come in and take a look.”
I followed him, my gaze drifted around the room.
The study had been tastefully decorated–simple yet undeniably
luxurious.
Then, my eyes landed on something on the desk–a photo frame. Inside the frame–was a picture of me.
I froze in place, staring at it as my heartbeat inexplicably quickened. ‘Could Ryan really have been telling the truth?‘

‘If I weren’t his wife, why would he keep a framed photo of me in his
study?‘
A wave of complicated emotions washed over me.
‘Maybe–maybe I should believe him?‘
Ever since I woke up, he had been nothing but patient and kind. He had
never forced me into anything.
Instead, he had given me time, even suggesting we interact as just
friends if that was what I needed-
I exhaled slowly, feeling myself start to accept the possibility that we were, in fact, husband and wife.
Ryan’s voice suddenly pulled me out from my thoughts.
“What’s wrong?” he asked gently.
My face warmed, and I quickly mumbled, “Nothing.”
Ryan gave me a small smile, “Then sit here for a while. I have a few documents to go through.”
I nodded and settled beside his chair, quietly watching him work.
Ryan was already incredibly handsome, but when he focused on his w ork, he became even more captivating.
Realizing where my thoughts were headed, I quickly pulled myself back to reality and couldn’t help but ask, “You studied law in college.

Are you a lawyer now?”

He glanced up, a faint smile on his lips, and nodded. “Yes, I founded a law firm in Harborbrook called Oracle Attorneys. We also have a
branch here in Bellton.”
“Oracle Attorneys-” I murmured, the name sparking something faint
in my memory.
I couldn’t help but admire him. Born into a wealthy family, he had’t simply relied on his family’s fortune–he had built something of his own. His ambition and capability were truly impressive. No wonder so many girls had been infatuated with him back in college.
After a moment of hesitation, I cautiously asked, “What about me?
What did I do before?”
Ryan continued flipping through his documents as he casually replied, “You also worked at Oracle Attorneys–as my associate attorney.”
I froze. “I was a lawyer?”
He nodded, his gaze holding a hint of admiration, “You were incredibly skilled. If it weren’t for–certain circumstances, you would have achieved even greater success in your career. Once you’ve fully
recovered, if you want, I can help you start again.”
A flicker of hope ignited inside me. I murmured, “At least I didn’t forget my legal knowledge. Otherwise, I’d have to start from scratch.”
Becoming an excellent lawyer had always been my dream.

Ryan’s lips curved slightly, his tone relaxed, “If you have any questions,
feel free to ask me.”
Looking at his gentle expression, I felt an unexpected sense of
security, like I was being carefully protected.
But–my instincts screamed that he was hiding something.
Taking a deep breath, I met his gaze and said, “Ryan, I have a question right now.”
He set down his document, intrigued, “What is it?”
I locked eyes with him and carefully enunciated every word.
“Who exactly is Vincent?”
