Introduction

After a terrifying rock-climbing fall, I woke up in a hospital, my past a blank slate thanks to selective amnesia.

My best friend, Chloe, gently informed me I'd lost all memory of my long-term, now ex-boyfriend, Ethan Cole.

Though I felt nothing for this forgotten man, he and his glamorous, vindictive girlfriend, Bella Rossi, swiftly re-entered my life, each encounter proving more unsettling than the last.

Their malicious disdain for me was palpable.

From Bella staging a fall and Ethan's shocking physical assault that broke my hand, to his public humiliation of me and Bella's brazen plagiarism of my baking designs-which Ethan shockingly validated as a judge-it felt like a relentless campaign to destroy me.

Bella even tried to burn me alive at his parents' house, and Ethan left me in the flames.

How could this man, whom I supposedly loved, be so utterly cruel, even after my amnesia wiped him from my mind?

His continuous betrayal, culminating in the public destruction of my career and Bella's desperate attempt to run me over, deepened my bewilderment and pain, leaving me questioning everything.

But in the chaos, a kind, genuine baker named Noah Evans emerged, shielding me, showing me what true love felt like.

And when a final, devastating trauma jolted my memories back, I faced a choice: succumb to the past or embrace the peaceful, loving future Noah offered, cementing my new life far from Ethan's toxic shadow.
