"You like this, don't you?" His voice was dark velvet, wrapping around me, sinking under my skin. I swallowed hard, refusing to answer, but my body betrayed me-the sharp inhale, the way my lips parted, the way my thighs pressed together. He noticed. Of course, he did. He stepped closer, eliminating the space between us, his heat overwhelming. "Say it." I shook my head, a weak attempt at resistance. His fingers traced up my arm, slow, teasing, until they reached my throat. He didn't squeeze, didn't apply pressure-just let his touch linger there, making me hyperaware of my own racing pulse. "Liar," he murmured. I exhaled sharply. "You're too close." His lips brushed my ear, not quite a kiss, just a whisper of warmth. "And you're not stopping me."

Chapter 1 ~ What’s Your Name?

Beep. Beep. Beep.The sound drilled into my skull like an alarm I couldn't snooze. My eyelids felt like they had been glued shut, my body heavy like I'd been hit by a truck—or maybe an entire army of them. Everything ached.I forced my eyes open, blinking against the blinding fluorescent lights. White walls. A hospital bed. Machines blinking beside me.Okay... I was definitely in a hospital."Can you hear me?"The voice came from a man standing way too close to my face. I squinted, trying to make sense of his blurred features. He was holding something—oh. A flashlight.Before I could react, he flicked it straight into my eyes. "What the hell, man? You trying to blind me?" I snapped, instinctively jerking my head away.The guy—who I now realized was a doctor—chuckled. "That's a good sign.""Says the man trying to burn my retinas."Behind him, a woman in a nurse's uniform smiled as she scribbled something on a clipboard. They didn't seem particularly horrified by my presence, which mean...

Chapter 2~ Sara
The next time I saw the couple, they walked in looking like they'd been through an emotional rollercoaster. Mrs. Evans sat at the edge of my bed, gently taking my hands in hers."You must be so confused, sweetheart," she said softly."That's an understatement," I muttered, shifting under the covers.She hesitated, her fingers squeezing mine. "Honey, there's something you should know."Something about her tone made my stomach tighten."We... we're not actually your parents."Okay. That was a plot twist."What... what do you mean?" The words barely left my lips before my throat closed up. I don't know why it hurt, like a part of me actually wanted them to be. If they weren't my parents, then who was I?Mr. Evans sighed, his expression serious. "Two years ago, we found you unconscious near our farm. No ID, no phone. Just... there, as if you'd fallen from the sky."My stomach twisted."You were barely breathing," Mrs. Evans continued. "We rushed you here, and you've been in a coma ever si

Chapter 3~ Healing Herbs
I woke up to the scent of cedarwood and something undeniably masculine. Groggy and disoriented, I blinked at the ceiling, my brain struggling to reboot. The last thing I remembered was the hospital—the blaring alarms, Mrs. Evans calling my name, and then... nothing.So why was I here? And more importantly, where was I?I pushed myself up, scanning the room. It was neat, but definitely lived-in. A bookshelf stuffed with war history and mechanics books lined one wall. A desk in the corner was cluttered with papers, and near the wardrobe sat a set of weights that looked suspiciously like they'd never been used. The faint scent of cologne lingered in the air, wrapping around me like an invisible sign that read: You are 100% in a man's room.Okay. Time to panic.I gripped the blankets, my mind racing. Did I sleepwalk my way into some guy's room? Had I been kidnapped? Oh God, was I about to hear the words, Good morning, wife. You've been in a coma, but don't worry—we had a beautiful wedding

Chapter 4~ Was I A Criminal?
I have been living with the Evanses for the past three weeks, and I must say—they're really nice people. Ella treats me like a daughter. According to her, she always wanted a girl, but fate laughed in her face and gave her a male child instead. (Liam. Military man. Captain. Cool, right?)I can always see the proud smile on the Evanses' faces when they talk about him. They don't just love him—they admire him. Sometimes, I wonder what it's like to have people look at you like that."Breakfast is ready!" Ella calls from the kitchen.Oh, did I mention I'm a terrible cook? No, seriously—my food is worse than Ella's healing herbs. Cooking is definitely not my field. My field right now is literally a field—feeding and milking the cows with Mr. Evans.Every morning, I feel like I'm committing some kind of crime against those poor cows by touching their boobs. But according to Mr. Evans, it's actually helping them. Apparently, if we don't milk them, they get uncomfortable. Who knew cow boob ma

Chapter 5~ This Is Bad
That night, I couldn't sleep.The old newspaper lay hidden beneath my mattress, but it felt like it was breathing beneath me—taunting me, whispering secrets I couldn't remember. I had only glanced at the torn edges, but the image of that woman—my face—was burned into my mind.My fingers twitched at my sides, aching to pull the paper out, to study it under the moonlight. But a bigger part of me was terrified of what I might find.Was I a criminal? A fugitive? A murderer? My breath came shallow and uneven. No, no—I couldn't be. Could I? But then... why had no one come looking for me? Why had I been left for dead?I pulled the blanket tighter around me, curling into myself. If the Evanses knew about this, would they still let me stay? Or would they be too scared to sleep under the same roof as me?A wave of panic crawled up my throat, thick and suffocating. I had finally found something good here. A home, a place where I was wanted. If my past caught up to me, I could lose all of it.I s

Chapter 6~ Instinct
Morning came too soon. I woke up groggy, my body aching from last night's... incident. My backside still throbbed from my graceless fall, but my dignity had taken the biggest hit.Liam.I attacked Liam.A groan slipped past my lips as I rolled onto my stomach, burying my face in the pillow. How was I supposed to face him after that? I practically tried to kill him with my bare hands. Not exactly a great first impression.Maybe if I stayed in bed long enough, I could avoid him completely. A knock at the door shattered that hope."Dear, breakfast is ready," Ella's warm voice called. "Come eat before it gets cold."I hesitated. Food sounded tempting, but the thought of sitting across from Liam while he glared daggers at me made my appetite vanish.Still, refusing wasn't an option. So, with a resigned sigh, I pulled myself out of bed, ran my fingers through my tangled hair, and made my way downstairs. The moment I stepped into the kitchen, I felt it.Tension.Liam sat at the table, arms c

Chapter 7~ Boom
It had been a week since Liam arrived, but it felt like a year. No matter what I did, I felt watched—like unseen eyes followed my every move. And I didn't have to guess who they belonged to.Liam.He wasn't just watching. He was waiting. Waiting for me to slip, to prove him right—that I didn't belong here, that I was a danger to his family. It was suffocating.Ella and Evans were still as warm as ever, but things weren't the same. Not because they had changed, but because I had. Or maybe becauseLiam had.The worst part? He wasn't even doing anything. I know how ridiculous that sounds. How does someone make your life unbearable without even speaking to you? But that was exactly it. Liam didn't acknowledge me. To him, I was either invisible or an unwanted guest overstaying my welcome. He never said it out loud, but I felt it in every glance, every sharp look, every heavy silence when we were in the same room.One thing I'd learned about Liam was that he was always watching. He was quie

Chapter 8~ I’ll Snap
Boom.Jack was ripped away from the wall so violently that he stumbled, crashing into the nearby table. Bottles shattered, crates tumbled, and the entire room seemed to shake with the impact. Before I could even blink, a strong, unrelenting grip closed around my wrist, yanking me back with a force that sent my pulse skyrocketing.Liam.His presence was suffocating. Dominating. His fingers were wrapped around my wrist like a steel cuff, his expression carved from ice. Jack groaned from the floor, trying to push himself up. "Liam—what the hell—"Liam didn't even look at him. His cold, piercing gaze was locked onto me, burning with something unreadable."Outside." His voice was calm. Too calm. Jack scrambled to his feet. "Hey, man, she—Liam's head turned, his eyes dark, lethal. "Shut up.Jack flinched.Liam didn't give me a chance to protest. He dragged me with him, his grip unyielding, his body tense with something dangerous.And despite the sharp warning in his touch, despite the unde

Chapter 9~ Trickster
I was in the kitchen, grilling chicken the way Ella had taught me. After several failed attempts, I could finally say I had mastered it—or at least, I wasn't burning it to a crisp anymore. Ella and Evans had gone out for a meeting, and as for Liam... well, I hadn't seen him, but I knew he was around. He always was.The rich, smoky aroma of the chicken filled the kitchen, making my stomach growl. This particular chicken had given me hell when I was trying to catch it, and now, here it was—seasoned to perfection, sizzling over the fire. Karma was a funny thing. Or maybe I had chosen it on purpose. Who knew?Satisfied with my work, I set the table, ready to devour my well-earned meal when the doorbell rang. I frowned, wondering who it could be. Wiping my hands on a cloth, I made my way to the door and pulled it open.Two men stood outside. One wore a hoodie, his hands shoved into the front pocket, while the other, clad in a black jacket, had his arms crossed over his chest."Uh... Trevor

Chapter 10~ Whatever
I could see it clearly. The images weren't distorted or fragmented like a dream—they were sharp, vivid, undeniable.I wasn't at an airport. No. It was a rooftop. A private jet, dark in color, sat there with its engines already roaring to life. I was walking toward it, but something—no, someone—caught my attention.The pilot. He was trying to climb down from the aircraft, panic written all over his face. And then—A man. Mid-thirties. Bald head. He was running toward me, desperation in his eyes as he shouted something, his voice barely reaching me over the deafening sound of the engines."Go back!"Before I could react—Boom.The explosion tore through the air, a violent burst of flames and metal. The impact sent me flying backward, my ears ringing, my body hitting the ground with force. My skin burned, my chest heaved, and the only thing I could hear was the dull, high-pitched ringing that drowned out everything else.Pain.It was unbearable.I jolted awake, my eyes snapping open.The
