Cecilia felt something was off with him today, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
“Nicholas,” she called him again. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and placed the back of it on Nathaniel’s forehead.
In Nathaniel’s deep eyes, turbulent emotions surged like a storm. His throat felt as though a thorn was lodged in it, rendering him unable to speak..
As Cecilia started to withdraw her hand, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“You called me Nicholas?”
Nathaniel’s eyes reddened further.
What had happened over the past year?
Cecilia was startled by the intensity in his gaze. For some reason, a dream she had a few days ago came to mind,
In that dream, there was someone who looked exactly like Nicholas, acting just as strangely.
“Nicholas, what’s going on with you?” she asked, her heart inexplicably uneasy.
Nathaniel tightened his grip on her hand. “I’m not Nicholas. I’m Nathaniel! Don’t you remember me?” His voice was hoarse.
Cecilia was stunned, unable to believe what she had heard. “What?”
How is this possible? He isn’t Nicholas? Why do the both of them look the same?
Cecilia was completely dumbfounded.
Nathaniel pulled her closer and pressed her, “Tell me. What’s happened to you this past year?”
Why did she forget me and remember Nicholas?
It was all so absurd.
His tone and reaction didn’t seem like he was acting.
He wasn’t Nicholas.
Cecilia hurriedly pulled her hand back. “I must have mistaken you for someone else. I’m sorry.”
Then she added, “Thank you for saving me last night. I’m really grateful.”
She took a few steps back. “I don’t know how to thank you, I-”
Before she could finish, Nathaniel stood up from the couch, his long legs quickly closing the distance between them. He then pulled her into a tight embrace

Husband and wife?
Cecilia felt this was utterly ridiculous.
When did I get married?
She struggled, trying to break free from Nathaniel’s hold.
Yet this time, he held her so tightly that she couldn’t escape.
“Sir, you must have made a mistake. I’m not married, and I don’t even know you,” Cecilia explained. Hearing her words, Nathaniel became even more convinced that she didn’t remember him.
“How did it come to this?”

He muttered to himself while still holding Cecilia. At that moment, a loud knock came from the door. Cecilia was terrified of this version of Nathaniel and immediately called out toward the door, “Help!” The knocking at the door became more urgent as the person outside heard her cry for help.
Cecilia tried to calm Nathaniel. “Sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else. Please let me go. saved my life, and I’ll never forget your kindness.”
The knocking turned into loud banging on the door.
You
Nathaniel, unsure who was being so bold, spoke to Cecilia first. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. Let me check who’s at the door. Stay here and be good.”
He spoke in what he thought was a gentle tone.
“But to Cecilia, it sounded like a threat.
She didn’t wait. The moment he released her, she bolted to the door and flung it open.”
Standing there was Nicholas, flanked by several others.
“Nicholas…” she called out, her voice uncertain.
“Yes, I’m here. No one will hurt you,” Nicholas said as he pulled her protectively to his side,
At that moment, Nathaniel walked to the doorway as well.
The two identical faces stood opposite each other.
