(haha?? Kira asked deliberately.

"Jason! Gwencased her voice. 'He's no longer Austyn. He's my fiancé now. We are about to get married. He has a new life, and he's happy with it. Why can't you Just leave him be?" Kira was incredulous. "Are you serious? How can you call him your fiancé when his wife is sitting right in front of you? Have you no shame?" exclusive content.

Gwen knew very well Austyn was already married.

How could she even come up with such an idea?

Didn't she know bigamy was against the law?

Gwen juited her chin.

"Why should be ashamed? I saved his life. I nursed him back to health. I gave him a home and a job. He owes his life to me. Besides, we've been together for four

years, way longer than the duration of your so-called mariage."

She sneered

*Besides, four yeaus of separation are sufficient grounds for annulment. You and Austyn are no longer manted in the eyes of the law."

Kita's mouthhing open

had never met anyone as shameless as Owen Taylor

Even Liam paled in comparison to her brashness.

Gwen.continord, "If you really love him, you'd want him to be happy, right? And he's happy with me."

Kira was stunned into stience.

Gwen was outrageously brazen, but she brought up a point kita could not ignore

Austyndid seem to have settled into his new life

It had been four years

It was entirely possible for him to fall for someone else, especially a woman who saved him.

Gwen was the one who proposed, but Austyn wouldn't have said yes if he didn't have at least some feelings for her,

He kept his distance from Kira and repeatedly reminded her that he was engaged.

Kira clasped her lands.

What if Austyn never recovered his memory?

From his perspective, he was just going about his business, with a good job and a woman he loved, until Kiza intruded into his life

Maybe the scars on his body wamed him off

Maybe he didn't want to know about his past because he sensed it might upset his current peaceful lite

Kira's heart was filled with uncertainty and dread,

She was only trying to help Ausiv

But what if he didn't want her help?

Gwen took in Kira's reaction and smiled in satisfaction.

She law she had gotten to her.

Gwen relaxed.

She adopted a softer tone.

'Try and put yourself in his shoes,' she said. 'He's happy now. He has a good lite. A sate life. If you really care for him at all, you should leave him be She leaned forward and looked straight at Kira. 'I promise I'll take good care of him."

Kira's mind was a mess

She couldn't agree with what Gwen said,

but she was to

was too flustered and confused to find a way to refute her.

But she law in her heart of hearts that Gwen was wrong.

Owen sat back in her chair and sipped at her latte leisurely, enjoying her victory. After a long while, Kira looked up.

She took in the tace that shared so many superficial similarities with her own.

Austyn was right; the two of them were nothing alike.

She said slowly, 'I do want what's best for Austyn. You are right about that'
