Arthur was doing this to see if her body still felt familiar.
She'd lost her memory and forgotten she once loved him.
For five years, they shared a bed, with countless intimate moments.
He knew her body better than anyone,
now he was trying to recapture that feeling-but it was gone.

Charlotte stepped back, keeping her distance. Her voice was cold. “Arthur, even though we're married, you're a
stranger to me. Don’t cnear me, or I'll call the police.”
With that, she opened the door and left.
Arthur's face darkened, veins throbbing with frustration and anger.
He wanted to shower, but seeing the bedroom only made him angrier.
She used to love decorating-trinkets everywhere, a vase on the high table, delicate figurines on the bedside,

Diana was the kind of cool, detached person who only cared about things that interested her.
Charlotte replied quickly, “I need to talk to you in person. Where are you?”
“Blue Door,” Diana answered.
“I'm on my way,” Charlotte said.
Blue Door was one of Lanceser’s top upscale bars, super exclusive.
Before marrying Arthur, Charlotte used to chere a lot, but after marriage, she focused on being the perfect
wife.
Now, stepping back into this world, she felt something stir inside her.
Just then, someone tapped her shoulder.
Turning around, she saw a familiar, unwelcface-Sarah.
Her long, straight hair flowed down her back, and she wore light makeup.
In a soft pink dress that highlighted her graceful figure, her smile was warm and classy. Years of dancing had
