"I don't remember falling in love with you," Lena said, voice trembling. "But I feel like... I recognize myself when I'm with you."

James smiled softly. "That's because you were yourself with me."

-----------

Lena Smith and James Adam were arranged to marry before they could even spell the word love.

An alliance.
A merger.
A future decided for them.

They grew up as childhood enemies bound by forced summers and family expectations. But somewhere between attic clubs and stolen glances, resentment turned into something far more dangerous.

Then tragedy struck.

An accident stole Lena's memories.
A powerful mother rewrote the narrative.
And the boy she once loved was removed from her life without her knowing why.

James never forgot her.

Now older, stronger, and no longer willing to be controlled, he refuses to let the arrangement define them.

Because this time, love isn't inherited.

It's chosen.

And choosing each other might cost them everything.All Rights Reserved
