Vivian's POVAlexander's words lingered in my mind long after he said them."You'll definitely return it." I noddedHe simply picked up his bottle of juice and took another sip.Calm.Composed.Impossible to read.Perhaps I was thinking too much.A faint smile found my lips."Thank you."He looked at me."For what?""For making me laugh."The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly."I'll consider that progress."Silence settled comfortably between us.Outside my window, the afternoon sun stretched across the hospital garden.Alexander broke the silence."May I ask you something?"I nodded."What happened that day?"The question caught me completely off guard.My fingers tightened around the juice bottle."I..."His voice remained gentle."You looked..."He paused, choosing his words carefully."...distracted.""What were you doing out there under the storm?"My breathing slowed.The room suddenly felt smaller.The rain.The divorce papers.David's cold eyes.His signature.My o

Vivian's POVThe first thing I noticed was him sitting on the wheelchair.He wore a perfectly tailored charcoal suit.Not a wrinkle disturbed the crisp fabric.His silver watch caught the afternoon sunlight filtering through the curtains.Everything about him spoke of quiet wealth.Quiet power.Yet none of those things drew my attention as much as the wheelchair did.He rested one hand lightly on its wheel before slowly pushing himself closer to my bed.The movement was smooth.Not once did he appear embarrassed by it.For reasons I couldn't explain...My heart tightened.I instinctively tried to sit up."I..."The effort sent a sharp pain through my ribs.A gasp escaped my lips.My arms trembled violently as I pushed against the mattress.I couldn't greet the man who had saved my life while lying helplessly in bed."Don't."His tone wasn't commanding.It was gentle.He wheeled himself beside my bed until we were almost face-to-face."You've only just regained consciousness.""Rest."

Everything became blurry.White.The ceiling above me was nothing but a hazy patch of light.I blinked slowly.Once.Twice.My vision remained unfocused.A sharp antiseptic smell filled my nose.The rhythmic beeping somewhere beside me echoed through the quiet room.Hospital.I was in a hospital.Fragments of memories flashed through my mind like broken pieces of glass.Rain.Headlights.Screeching tires.Pain.Then...Nothing.My lips parted instinctively."Hel..."No sound came out.My throat burned as though I hadn't spoken in years.I swallowed painfully and tried again."Hello..."Only a faint breath escaped.Panic immediately spread through my chest.I tried lifting my right hand.It didn't move.No...Move.Please.I concentrated harder, willing my fingers to respond.After several seconds, they twitched ever so slightly before falling still again.A wave of relief mixed with fear washed over me.At least I wasn't completely paralyzed.I tried turning my head.A dull ache explo

All evidence shows that Vivian and David are just business partners, His assistant said.No one's knows about her family not even her business partner, David knows about her background and family."Sir."Alexander looked up as his assistant hurried back into the hospital room, holding a tablet in one hand and a brown file in the other."I've finished the investigation."Alexander closed the document he had been reading and motioned for him to continue."What did you find?"The assistant placed the tablet on the bedside table before unlocking the screen."Our team searched everything we could access."Alexander remained silent."We searched company records, newspaper archives, business magazines, social media, public interviews, and online blogs.""And?"The assistant swiped across the screen.The first photograph appeared.David stood beside Charlotte in a beautifully decorated church. They were smiling as they exchanged wedding rings while family and friends applauded around them.We

Vivian's PovThe first thing I heard that morning was a man's calm but commanding voice."Search again.""I don't believe she's just a business associate."My heart skipped.Was he talking about me?Still unable to open my eyes, I listened carefully.Alexander's assistant returned a few minutes later with a tablet."Sir, I found something.""What is it?""There are old photographs of Mr. David Blackstone and Vivian pretty close to each other."Silence filled the room.My heart pounded.photograph?The assistant continued."But something is strange.""What?""There nothing to discover about their relationship on the internet, just few photograph of them together"Alexander frowned."What do you mean?""I think they're just business associate.""And, they're close friends.""The family photos have vanished.""The company's website does not lists Vivian as part of the Blackstone family.""It looks as though someone deliberately erased every trace of her."The room fell silent.Alexande

Vivian's POV"How could the man I once called my husband reduce me to a business associate?"Those words echoed through my mind long before I could open my eyes.Darkness still surrounded me.My body felt heavy.I could hear footsteps moving around the room and the soft beeping of the heart monitor beside my bed.I wanted to wake up.I wanted to see who was there.But I couldn't.I remained trapped inside my own body.Then the door opened.Several footsteps entered the room.The atmosphere changed instantly."Good afternoon, Mr. Kane," the doctor greeted respectfully.A deep masculine voice replied calmly."Good afternoon, Doctor."That voice again.The same commanding voice.The same man who had paid my aunt's hospital bills.The same stranger who had assigned a private nurse to care for me.He had come back.Why?Why would someone who didn't know me keep coming back?The doctor cleared his throat."Her condition is improving.""When will she regain consciousness?" the man asked."So
