accident

Carter jumped in. “Lola, Sebastian fell off a cliff on that research trip. He hit his head. He has AMNESIA.” 

Miles nodded. “Linda found him and saved him. She’s not just our employee anymore. She’s his savior. She deserves respect.” 

Linda grabbed Sebastian’s arm and smirked at me. “I’m tired. I assume you’ll provide a room for the woman who saved your 

husband’s life?” 

Sebastian headed straight for my front door like he owned the place. 

I snapped my fingers. The butler slammed the door in their faces. 

Sebastian spun around, furious. “They said you’re my WIFE. That means my savior is YOUR savior too. How can you be so RUDE?!” 

I laughed. 

The performance was impressive, I’ll give them that. 

If I hadn’t already lived through their sixty year con, I might’ve actually bought it.

“You’re my husband? Maybe. But in the Chase family, there’s only ONE person in charge.”

I stepped closer, voice deadly calm.

“And that’s ME.”

Drive me to the airport. Now. That’s an ORDER.” 

Sebastian looked ready to explode. Linda grabbed his sleeve and shook her head softly. 

After a tense silence, Sebastian-the man who thought he was hot shit-bent down and opened the passenger door for her. 

Linda slid in gracefully.

‘Sorry, Miss Chase,” she said sweetly. “Sebastian just woke up from his ordeal. As the woman who saved his life, I’m just SO worried

about him.”

She paused, fake sympathy dripping from every word. “You’re a wealthy heiress. Surely you don’t mind, right?”

I stared her shameless face with amusing grin

Sebastian didn’t even glance my way. He leaned over, buckled her seatbelt, then climbed into the driver’s seat.

‘Get in if you’re coming.”

His tone was cold as ice. Linda’s smile widened.

I slid into the back seat, laughing internally.

They thought they were putting me in my place.

What they didn’t know? I was going to the airport to pick up my NEW husband.

Gideon Sinclair.

Just thinking about him made my chest tighten. In my past life, when I swore to stay single for Sebastian, Gideon never married either. He spent sixty years by my side-no title, no recognition, just… there. Always there.

Now, in this life, Dad was handing him to me on a silver platter.

felt nervous. Excited. And then-

The car jolted violently.

Sebastian screamed and yanked the wheel hard LEFT-right into the path of an out-of-control truck.

The impact was brutal. Metal crunched. Glass shattered.

Pain exploded through my body. My mind got blank

And the first thing out of Sebastian’s mouth? “LINDA! Are you okay?!”

Linda was on the RIGHT side-the SAFE side. She was FINE.

I tried to reach for my phone, but it was gone-thrown somewhere in the wreck.

I looked down. My thigh was pinned between twisted metal. Blood poured from a gash in my femoral artery.

My vision started to blur. I pressed my hand over the wound, trying to slow the bleeding.
