Chapter 1 On my first trip with my fiancé Reid Matthews after we confessed our feelings for each other , I was in a car accident . [ ] When I woke up , I saw him sitting by my hospital bed , worry etched all over his face . A mischievous impulse suddenly hit me . and I put on a confused expression and asked : [ ] " Who are you ? " ] Reid was obviously stunned . [ ] I secretly snickered to myself , remembering how nervous he looked when he confessed to me . Now that I was " suffering from amnesia , " how would he respond ? ] Would he call himself my boyfriend , or … go straight to husband ? I could barely keep from laughing . But then I heard him say : ] " I'm your fiance, but there's no real love between us . " He pulled out his phone , and on the screen was a young , pure - looking girl - a scholarship student he was sponsoring : " This is my true love . You know , in rich family marriages like ours , we usually each play around on our own . " After confirming with the doctor multiple times that memory loss was indeed possible after my car accident , Reid continued : [ ] " I actually brought you on this solo trip to come clean about all this . " ] His eyes flickered nervously . " But don't worry , I'll still marry you . " I could barely contain my fury : ] " Since your heart belongs to someone else , why do you still want to marry me ? To be your wife in name only while being the third wheel in your love story - what makes you think I would agree to that ? " ] I grabbed my phone . [ ] " Tell me which number is my dad's , and I'll call him right now to say I'm not marrying you ." " Doint ! " Reid suddenly grabbed my wrist . Our eyes met , and I clearly saw a flash of panic in his gaze . ] My heart instantly sparked back to life from the ashes . ] ] Could it be that he was just messing with me too ? ] But before that tiny bit of joy could spread through me , I heard Reid say : ] " Could you please not be so selfish ? Do you have any idea how much it would cost both our families if we called off this arrangement ? " ] " You're the Archer family princess - no one's going to blame you . But what about the woman I love ? She's just a scholarship student I'm supporting . If our relationship gets exposed when this all blows up , what happens to her ? " ] ] A bitter taste rose in my throat , and I suddenly wanted to ask him : [ ] What about me ? What happens to me ? Do I deserve to be sacrificed for some business arrangement ? ] Reid suddenly seemed to remember I was still a patient . His gaze fell on my wrist , which had turned red from his grip . A flash of regret crossed his eyes . ] ] " Sage , I know you can't tolerate betrayal . Don't worry , I'll send her abroad soon , and we'll never meet again . " Even after he left the room , I couldn't get a single word out . ] I'd always thought that after all these years of growing up together , Reid and I had naturally fallen for each other . ] Turns out it was all one - sided - Reid's heart had belonged to someone else all along .
