I'm not your fiancé!

Gwyneth, who is Anastasia, looks at Peter in bewilderment as he treats her as if she's the source of the problem. Confused, she wonders if her body now has enemies just like in her own life.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Peter asks loudly.

"Peter!" Axel pushes him away. "Don't you know my fiancée just went through a critical period? Why are you scolding her?"

Peter remains silent, removing Axel's hand from his chest covered by a gray shirt.

"You don't need to get angry; her father won't blame you!" Axel asserts, tightening his jaw. "Just say you didn't have time to take her to the airport, so she used her car... You won't be involved," he continues, then quickly returns to Gwyneth.

Gwyneth swallows nervously as Axel smiles warmly at her. "Don't worry; I'll make a decision soon about our relationship," Axel says, sitting down, and holding Gwyneth's hand. "I love you deeply... I won't let distance separate us."

She stares at her hand in Axel's grasp, thinking, 'But I'm not Gwyneth; everything feels so unfamiliar. I must find Dominic soon; he must be waiting for me,' she ponders.

Axel sighs, observing the silent Gwyneth. "I know you may feel strange because you don't remember me. I'll help you recall everything we've been through," he says.

"I don't mean to forget you, but I never knew you," Gwyneth replies, pulling her hand away.

Axel furrows his brow, disappointment is evident on his clean-shaven face.

"I'm not Gwyneth," she confesses. 'I have to be honest; I'm not the cause of Gwyneth's disappearance from this body... I just entered because this body lacked a soul. Whether he likes it or not, he has to accept the fact that his fiancée is gone,' she thinks, trying not to pity Axel.

"If you're not Gwyneth, it doesn't matter because you don't remember yourself or anyone else," Axel says. "It will challenge me to make you fall in love with me again," he continues, attempting to sound optimistic.

"But I'm not Gwyneth," Gwyneth insists. "That's why I don't recognize you... I'm Anastasia from Delmonte... My soul entered this body, and now I have to find my husband... I can't be with you," she adds anxiously.

"Anastasia?" Axel raises an eyebrow, smiling.

Gwyneth nods hopefully.

"So that's the name in your mind?" Axel chuckles, shaking his head. "I don't know what happened or what was on your mind before you forgot everything. But I can accept that. You're Anastasia, and you want to find your husband... I... I will be your husband." He points to himself, nodding.

Gwyneth shakes her head. "I'm serious..."

"I know you're confused," Axel says, bowing and kissing Gwyneth's forehead. "You can call yourself whatever you want, but it won't change you... You're the Gwyneth I love," he continues, still smiling.

Gwyneth furrows her brow, her eyes expressing despair. "I'm not Gwyneth!"

Axel sighs, lifting Gwyneth's hand and placing his palm on her cheek, continuously gazing at her face.

"I know you've been through a lot, to the point that you don't want to return to your true self... Maybe what you're experiencing now is a blessing from God so you don't remember how badly they treated you," he says.

"They? Who?" Gwyneth asks.

"They, Peter and his mother," Axel says seriously. "Your father married a woman named Margareth. She has a son named Peter... the one who just scolded you. She also has a daughter named Brenda. Margareth and Peter treated you badly all this time... But I can't explain to your father about their behavior. I think it would only create new problems... And the only way to take you away from them is to marry you," he explains.

Gwyneth furrows her brow. 'What? Why is Gwyneth's life almost the same as mine? I have a stepmother and stepsister who treated me badly. What kind of coincidence is this? Is this the reason God put my soul into this body? Because he thought Gwyneth and I shared a similar fate?'

"All this time, we maintained a long-distance relationship because I had to manage my company in Manhattan," Axel continues.

"Man... Manhattan?"

"Yeah... I've prepared something beautiful for us there."

"And where are we now?" Gwyneth asks, recalling Dominic's last message about his whereabouts.

"We're in Los Angeles," Axel replies casually.

"Then where is New York?"

"New York is also called Manhattan... I mean, Manhattan is part of New York... New York is a big city with many areas like Brooklyn, Manhattan, Vermont, and many more."

Gwyneth falls silent again, seemingly confused, until she looks at Axel.

"How long is the journey to New York by horse?" she asks.

Axel bursts into laughter.

Gwyneth remains puzzled, seemingly not understanding why Axel finds it amusing.

"Is something wrong? Don't you have a horse? Do you have a carriage?" She wonders with her innocent gaze.

"Hahaha!" Axel laughs heartily, unable to contain his amusement at Gwyneth's naivety.

"Hey..." Gwyneth is confused, her attention shifting to a beautiful and sexy figure entering the room.

"Gwyneth!" The girl approaches her with a worried look, and instantly, Axel stops laughing. "I never expected you to have an accident... You should have asked me to take you to the airport!"

Gwyneth remains silent, still unsure who the girl is. 'She smells so good, her eyes are sharp... And why is she dressed so sexy?' she wonders.

Axel notices Gwyneth's confusion and takes the girl a bit aside.

"Brenda, she doesn't know you," he says.

"What?" Brenda furrows her brow.

"She doesn't remember me; in fact, she doesn't remember herself. I don't know how severe her amnesia is, but she's really strange now," Axel explains, occasionally glancing at Gwyneth, who is raising her hand as if observing them. "She's completely unfamiliar with the situation... Now I really can't leave her alone," he continues.

"You don't need to worry; I can take care of her," Brenda assures.

"No..."

"I'll always defend her if my mom treats her badly..." Brenda insists.

"No..." Axel shakes his head. "I don't mean to trust you, but I really can't be away from her starting now... I'm going to marry her." He focuses on Gwyneth again.

Brenda widens her eyes and pulls Axel's arm to face her.

"But she doesn't even remember you at all, and maybe she doesn't feel love for you... Everything is different now. How can you marry her?" she wondered.

Axel removed Brenda's hand from his arm. "Nothing's changed. She's just not feeling well," he said, quickly approaching Gwyneth.

Brenda fell silent, furrowing her brow. Her face looked anxious as she swiftly retrieved her phone from the black bag hanging on her shoulder.

'I have to tell Mommy; she needs to stop Axel from marrying Gwyneth!' she thought to herself, hurriedly sending a message to her mother.
