I blink open my eyes, taking in bright lights and a white room. A man smiles warmly at me from the end of my bed. βHoney, Iβve been so worried,β he says gently. βDo you remember me? Iβm your husband.β My blood runs cold. I donβt know where I am, or who I am. All I know is Iβve never seen this man beforeβ¦
As he packs my things, the nurses tell me Freddie hasnβt left my bedside since the accident I was in days ago. They tell me Iβm lucky. We seem like the perfect couple, and together weβll figure out what happened. So I go home to a beautiful house with a fancy marble kitchen and manicured garden that is supposedly ours. But deep down I know something isnβt right. Even though my memories are gone, this doesnβt feel like my life.
Slowly, flashes of memory come back. First the accident β the pouring rain, a swerving car, a sudden scream. Somebody whispering, β Iβll love you forever β. But most heartbreaking of all are the haunting memories of a blue-eyed little girl. Is she my little girl? Was she in the accident too? Or is she in terrible danger?
Freddie is determined to keep me safe and hide me from the world. But I canβt shake the feeling that we arenβt the loving couple he wants us to be, and that beyond this house a precious child needs me now more than ever. So why am I here? What does Freddie want? And how far will I have to go, to discover the truth?..M.F
