Chapter 2

The next day, Seth brought me to a bar, claiming that he wanted to reintroduce me to his friends.

When I stepped into the private room, I saw Lucien embracing a woman, kissing her with wanton abandon.

Seth coughed softly and interrupted them.

When Lucien saw us, he was momentarily stunned. Then, he slowly stood up.

“Hello, I’m Lucien’s best friend, Seth Kaplan.” Lucien stuck out his hand and calmly introduced himself. “This is my girlfriend, Holly Saunders.”

“Oh.” I nodded but did not take Lucien’s hand to shake.

Holly, however, I definitely knew.

She was Lucien’s first girlfriend.

Back in the day, they broke up because their families did not approve of their relationship. Later on, they took the chance to get back together when I lost my memories.

Lucien had refused to go home for the past three years because of her.

Many of Lucien’s other friends were in the private room. Quite a few of them had pretended to be my husband before. At that moment, they were all acting as though nothing was wrong and were teasing me.

“Anneliese, have you lost your memories again? Lucien’s such a great guy. No matter how many times you get amnesia, he always sticks by your side!”

“That’s right, Anneliese. You have to cherish such a great man!”

I smiled wryly but did not respond.

With his arm slung around me, Seth led me to sit on the couch.

After we got settled, I brought a piece of fruit to his mouth. “Here, honey, have some more fruit.”

In the dim room, I could see Lucien looking over at us.

I leaned close to bite the lobe of Seth’s ear. “Honey, you were so rough with me last night. I’m all sore now!”

Seth’s expression froze. Awkwardly, he pinched my hand. “Baby, don’t mess around.”

Lucien’s grip on his beer glass tightened. He was obviously unhappy.

Sitting next to him, Holly spoke up sarcastically. “Annie, you’re really something. You’ve got the infamously unattainable heartthrob in our group wrapped around your little finger.”

When Holly said that, Lucien’s friends all got worried that I would realize something fishy was going on. So, they awkwardly laughed and tried to wave it off.

“Hey, that proves just how strong Anneliese’s relationship with Lucien is!”

“That’s right! Even though you’ve lost your memories, it never got in the way of your love for one another!”

From the corner of my eye, I watched Lucien raise his glass and sip his beer. His expression was thunderous.

A flash of delight spread through me at that.

I went up to use the restroom. When I came out, Holly was walking my way.

When we passed each other by, the red wine in her glass splashed all over me.

“Oh no! I’m so sorry. My hand slipped.”

I raised my hand and slapped her viciously.

“I’m sorry, my hand slipped, too.”

After I said that, a stern voice came from behind me. “Anneliese Cantrell, what are you doing?”

Lucien strode over.

Holly immediately threw herself into his arms and started to sob delicately. “Honey, I only accidentally spilled my wine on Annie, but she lost her temper and hit me. I feel so dizzy now.”

Lucien’s expression was dark and displeased. “Apologize to Holly!”

I scoffed. “Who are you to demand things of me?”

“Anneliese!” Lucien’s eyes gleamed menacingly, and his face was so dark that it was honestly scary. “How could you be so arrogant after losing your memories?”

“What does what I’ve become have anything to do with you?”

I could not be bothered to say anything more.

Just as I turned around, Lucien kicked my knee, sending me sprawling to a kneeling position.

“Don’t think you can wilfully do as you please just because you lost your memories. Hurry up and apologize to Holly!”

Seeing the thunderous man before me, I could only find the situation tragic but hilarious.

I was an orphan. In this huge city, Lucien was the only person I could rely on.

We had started dating in university and had been together for a decade.

When he proposed to me, he had sworn that he would always protect me and love me, that he would never betray me.

Yet, he was not only betraying our marriage at that point, but he had also attacked me because of another woman.

His sweet words and promises from the beginning were just cruel jokes.

Through the haze of rage, Seth’s voice cut through. “Don’t touch her!”

Biting back the pain in my knee, I stood up and slapped Lucien. Then, I hid in Seth’s arms and tattled, “Honey, your friend’s so mean. He’s bullying me!”

Seth looked angry. There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes as he looked at Lucien in warning. “Don’t bully Annie.”

Lucien gritted his teeth, his expression getting darker.

Holly snuggled into Lucien’s hold and scoffed. “Don’t think you’re all that. You’re just a loose woman and a man who likes collecting other people’s trash.”

“Shut up!” Lucien and Seth snapped at her in unison.
