"Staying?" I plead with my jaw slightly open. My sister was just smiling, while Tyler was just standing there with an awkward expression.

"Yup." Suddenly I watch the man from earlier come in. What's his name? River. Yeah, River.

"They, are staying?"

River just nods his head with a slight smirk on his face but he quickly looks to the side biting his lip.

Why does he do that whenever I'm around? It's so weird. But kinda cute.

"It's the room on the far left. Down that hallway." River says pointing at the hallway and beginning to shove my sister and Tyler away.

Then quickly River grabs my arm and leads me towards the guest bedroom. His blue eyes had darkened. That was kinda weird.

"What are you doing?" I plead in curiosity as River sets me down on the bed. He sits next to me as well and gives me the shh sigh.

"We have to pretend to be married Ems- I mean, Emmer. We used to be married Okay? And, your sister and Tyler don't know about you losing your memory. If anything they think your healthy and happily married to me." At first I just give him a gasp. He kind of blushed in embarrassment and then turned his face again biting his lip.

I love that little movement.

"Can I call you Ems?" He pleads.

Ems? Why does that sound so familiar?

"Sure." I plead giving him a smile.

"Thanks Ems." He leans over and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek then winks walking away.

Is it just me? Or is this man...

Fucking. Sexy.

"So, your uncle and auntie?" Anastasia pleads as she continues to tackle Tyler and Eveline.

I know Tyler and Emmer's little affair. Heck, I Made them get together.

At the time I had to put Emmer with Tyler because I knew I wasn't worth her. And Tyler was. He was kind, funny, loving, and devoted. All the things I wish I had had at the time.

But now, look at me, I'm a father of two. And struggling to wake up every morning without crying. And the way I fall asleep is watching my ex wife and I's wedding video.

It hurts.

And I know I slept with someone the other night. And I know it was wrong. Really wrong. But, I needed to be me. I'm devoted to someone who isn't devoted to me.

And that's Ems.

But, I know why Tyler married Eveline.

It wasn't love. It was payback.

Flashback

"So, your marrying Emmer tomorrow right?" Tyler pleads as he sits down across from me. He had a glass of wine in his hand.

He was drunk. And very mad.

He's broken.

"Look, this isn't really your business Tyler. You weren't invited to the wedding." Tyler rolls his eyes and scoffs. He looks me up and down and then motions for me to come closer.

"She didn't want to go back with you River. She wanted me when she found out she was marrying you."

Before I knew it I had swung a punch at Tyler. Everyone stared but I didn't give a fuck.
