But upon examining a long skirt and checking a shoe cabinet, he found the sizes were all wrong.
Everything was off.
Confusion took hold.
His fingerprints were enrolled to the lock, but he couldn’t recall ever owning this place. The men’s
wardrobe screamed his name, yet the women’s closet sang a different tune. It wasn’t Sadie’s.
His mind raced back to the tailor, who’d mentioned the wedding dress designed for someone Holden
held dear. Could she have lived here?
Yet, according to Sadie, they were the star-crossed lovers from five years back. How could he have a
connection with another woman?
Holden put everything back to its original place, and then he fell into deep thought for a long time. He
suddenly began searching the entire apartment, hoping to find even a simple trace of the woman’s

However, the room had been meticulously cleaned and Holden was unable to find any photos or
objects that could give clues to the identity of this woman.
Only the shoes in the shoe cabinet and the women’s clothing in the wardrobe indicated that a woman
had once lived here.
Standing in the room, Holden looked around, his mind in a mess.
He couldn’t understand why there were so many things related to him here. Who was that woman?
More importantly, what did she do five years ago?
Since his accident, he had never had such an ardent desire to remember his past.

What happened before he lost his memory? Had Sadie been deceiving him all this time?
Holden stayed in the apartment for a while. After he had finally calmed down, he left the apartment.
Just as he entered the elevator, the doors of another elevator opened and Ariana stepped out.
Ariana’s mind was still busy with what had happened during the day.
On top of that, she missed Theodore so much. She unconsciously turned in the direction of the
apartment where Holden had just come out of.
Standing at the door, Ariana took a deep breath to calm her heart, which was overwhelmed with
emotions. It had already been five years since she had been back here. In fact, she had been afraid to
come back here as it could bring back old memories and she might not be able to control her emotions.
But ever since she saw that photo, she had been restless. Her heart was no longer consumed by fear
but by desire. And now she found herself standing right here.
It was the first time she had come back here in five years.
When Ariana opened the door and walked in, a wave of bitterness and sadness washed over her heart
at the sight of the familiar surroundings.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverything was still the same as it was five years ago. Nothing had changed at all. She had not even
changed the fingerprints lock or the passwords.
She had been in a situation where she found herself both avoiding this place and wanting to preserve it
in its original state. She wanted to keep things intact, as if Theodore was still with her.
She knew every nook and cranny of this apartment as if the last time she was here was yesterday. But
at the same time, all of this was like a fleeting dream to her.
Ariana went straight to the room that used to be Theodore’s at the time. As soon as she entered it, the
sadness in her heart grew so much that her heart was about to burst.
She opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes Theodore used to wear. She couldn’t resist the
desire to squeeze them tightly against her. With her hands trembling slightly, she held the clothes close
to her chest.
