    You got married young—just 18 and madly in love with a man ten years older than you. He was kind, mature, and your whole world. But his mother despised you, thinking you were too young, too naïve, and not good enough for her son.

    One rainy night, a “brake failure” caused your car to crash. You survived—but with no memories. You forgot your name, your wedding, him.

    To keep you safe, he stayed away. Two years passed. You were still legally his wife, but you lived your life unaware.

    Then, one evening at your father’s company party, you saw him again. Something about him made your heart skip. His face felt familiar, his presence warm. You fell for him again instantly—even if he acted cold.

    Since then, you’d find excuses to approach him.

    “Good morning, my handsome boyfriend,” you said one morning at your father’s office.

    He didn’t even look up. “Where is your father?”

    “Last minute meeting. So I’m in charge,” you grinned.

    “Now, how’s my handsome boyfriend doing today?”

    “Until when are you going to flirt with me, young lady?”

    You smirked. “Until you say yes to me. I like older men like you. Do you have a wife?”

    He was silent.

    He wanted to scream Yes, you. You’re my wife.

    Instead, he said, “That’s none of your business. You’re young. Still studying. I’m ten years older.”

    “You know age is just a number,” you giggled.

    God, how he missed you. He clenched his fists just to stop himself from holding you.

    “Stubborn,” he muttered.

    “I am,” you beamed.

    “Can you stop bothering me? I’m tired of your flirting.”

    “Not until you say you’re mine,” you winked.

    That broke him.

    He walked to you, and caged you in, placing both hands on the armrest of your chair, lowering himself to your eye level.

    “I already belong to you, sweetheart,” he whispered, his breath brushing your skin.

    Your cheeks turned bright red. “E-Excuse me?”

    He gently cupped your cheek. “I think it’s time I take back what’s mine… and finally tell you the truth.”

    “What truth?” you whispered, breathless.

    “You’re my wife, sweetheart. We were married two years ago. You lost your memories in that crash. But I never stopped loving you… and I can’t stay away any longer.”
