Introduction

My wedding to Ethan Reed was just weeks away.

After seven years, I was certain of our perfect future.

Then, Ethan claimed "selective amnesia" from a head injury, forgetting only me.

I tried to make him remember, until I overheard his video call.

"Total genius move," he boasted to friends.

His amnesia was a fake "hall pass" to pursue influencer Chloe Vance before our wedding.

Heartbroken, I feigned belief.

I endured his open flirting with Chloe and their taunting selfies.

He mocked my distress, prioritizing Chloe's fake emergency.

After an accident he caused, he abandoned me, injured, choosing to send Chloe to the hospital first.

He even tried to cut me off financially.

How could my fiancé be this cruel, calculating monster?

His betrayal poisoned every memory.

I felt like a fool for trusting such boundless cruelty.

His audacity left me reeling.

But I wouldn't be his victim.

Instead of breaking, a cold plan formed.

I would shed my identity, become Olivia Carter.

I would disappear, leaving him, my past, and his engagement ring behind forever, claiming my freedom.
