After losing my memory, I married
my childhood friend.
Chapter 1
My fiancé, Garrett, jetted off overseas to
chase his “one true love,” leaving me to
dramatically announce my engagement to my
childhood sweetheart, Chase.
My friends thought I’d lost my mind.
After all, I’d been head–over–heels for
Garrett.
I practically begged my parents to approve
our marriage- a real drama queen, I was.
Garrett returned, sneering about my “antics.”
I hid behind Chase, feigning complete
ignorance. “Who are you?” I asked, my voice
flat.
The day Garrett left, I became a trending
topic. #Whitelightgate
Fans claimed Bailey, Garrett’s alleged “one
true love.” was forced to leave her career in
r
the States.
The villain? Me, the heiress of the Lynn
Corporation.
The day Garrett and I announced our
engagement, he showed up at a charity gala
with Bailey, arm in arm.
They were practically inseparable.
When reporters questioned him about the
engagement, he just smirked and refused to
comment.
The next day, “concerned citizens” started
spilling the tea.
They said I’d threatened suicide to force my
parents to let me marry Garrett.
They spun a tale of Bailey and Garrett’s
college romance, claiming my jealousy fueled
my supposed revenge.
The rumors spread like wildfire, even
convincing my friends that I was hopelessly in
love with Garrett, and he just didn’t care.

The truth? The engagement was arranged by
our families; I had no say in it.
Hesitantly, I called Garrett.
It took forever for him to answer.
His voice was laced with impatience.
“What now?”
I paused. “Where are you? I need to talk.”
He scoffed. “We’re not even married yet.
What gives you the right to question me?”
I heard airport announcements in the
background, a frown creasing my brow.
“You’re at the airport? Where are you going?”
His annoyance was barely concealed.
“It’s none of your damn business!”
“Lin Raina, I underestimated you. My parents
practically blackmailed me into this
engagement.”
He chuckled bitterly. “You’ve learned to play
dirty, haven’t you?”
My jaw dropped.

He’d agreed to the engagement because of
that?
I’d foolishly believed he’d done it willingly.
What a joke.
In college, I had a crush on Garrett.
But then Bailey appeared.
When she was alone with me, her eyes
practically spat venom.
With Garrett, she was a completely different
person.
Garrett and I started arguing constantly.
Bailey was always at the heart of it.
One day, the campus forums were flooded
with posts mocking me as Garrett’s obsessive
“simp.”
I went from “campus queen” to the subject of
everyone’s gossip.
I broke up with him.
He was silent for a long time before finally
nodding.
I moved on.
Five years later, it felt like history was
repeating itself.
“Garrett, about the engagement…”
He cut me off.
“Don’t worry,” he sneered. “I don’t like you,
but I’m not giving up the company.”
“Lin Raina, you want the title of Mrs. Garrett,
you got it.”
“But don’t expect anything else.”
