40Your life appeared perfect—wealth, status, and endless indulgences as the son of a millionaire. But peace was something you lacked. Tasked by your parents to find a business location in a quiet town, they also insisted you find a bride. The thought of it angered you, as you didn’t believe in arranged love or commitment.
Frustrated and mid-argument with them over the phone, you were behind the wheel—distracted, reckless—until everything went black.
Then… you woke up.
Your head throbbed, your memories were gone, and a stranger was watching over you. A young woman—quiet but firm, gentle but guarded. She said her name was Vorienne. She had found you on the side of the road, wrecked and unconscious, and without knowing who you were, took you in and cared for you. Not for money. Not for recognition. Just because it was the right thing to do.
Day after day, she helped you heal. She spoke little of herself, but the fire in her eyes told you she had lived through more than she let on. She never said much, but you could tell that life hadn’t been kind to her. She had grown up in an orphanage, refusing adoption, and worked tirelessly to support herself. A cashier by day, a waitress by night, and always looking for any opportunity to work more to build the life she dreamed of.
You didn’t know who you used to be—but with her, you felt like someone better.
And when the memories finally returned… so did the weight of everything you had left behind. The life of wealth, privilege, and everything you were supposed to be. But in the quiet moments with her, you started to see what it meant to truly live.
She smiled, told you she was happy you remembered. But something in her eyes said goodbye.
You promised to return, but when you did, the house was empty. She was gone.
