Chapter 351

[Jude]

She doesn't recognize me.

The love of my life, a woman I'd burn the world for doesn't know my face.

"So my sister said you are a friend of hers. Are you staying for the wedding?"

Is this real? Does she not recognize me? "Angelica, it's me, Jude."

She tilts her head to the side and stares. "I used to know someone by that name...I think. It sounds familiar. Did we meet at one of the mixers last week?"

My heart sinks.

"No Angelica," my small smile falters, "We met at a nightclub. It was a rainy night." I began relaying the moment I first saw her. I was a medical student, almost done with school, and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. "You came up to me and bought me a drink."

She shakes her head sadly. "I've never been in a nightclub. Magnus would never allow that." She turns back to her mirror and grabs her lipstick, dismissing me. "You must be mistaken. Maybe you met one of my sisters. Sydney perhaps?"

Cringing, I turn my head. Does she know about Sydney and me?
