She Cheated, But I Forgot Loving Her Chapter 1

The first person I saw after regaining consciousness from amnesia was Seraphina Hayes, my mortal enemy.

I was about to kick her out when my friend Liam stopped me.

"Hold on, Jax. Seraphina is your wife."

I later learned that Seraphina and I had been married for six years, and in our friends' eyes, we were madly in love.

But when I was discharged from the hospital and arrived home, I saw two bodies intertwined on the sofa, making intimate sounds.

My wife stammered, "We were just practicing our martial arts."

I didn't argue with her.

After all, I didn't remember loving her at all.

"What are you laughing at?" Seraphina's flushed face showed a flicker of surprise. Her breathing hadn't settled, and there were clear hickeys on her neck. Even Caleb hadn't expected to see such a smile on my face.

I hung up on Liam, clearing my throat. "Nothing." The memories Liam had just recounted quickly flashed through my mind. Apparently, I'd been waiting anxiously for her to come home. So, without much effort, I plastered a surprised look on my face. "Honey, you're finally back."

In reality, my gaze swept over Seraphina and Caleb, and my heart was doing a little dance of joy. Seraphina, a known germaphobe, was allowing this man to touch her so intimately. Looks like they were seriously involved. Seeing their clasped hands, and Seraphina's protective expression, as if she feared I'd hurt him, filled me with immense satisfaction.

This was exactly how it should be. The version of me from ten years ago, who was supposed to marry her, must have been an idiot. Now, I only hoped they'd be deeply in love and have a kid soon.

Seraphina's expression softened. She instructed the secretary standing behind her, "See? I told you, Jax loves me so much, he wouldn't get mad over something so trivial. It was just a trick to get me to come home. Chloe, go buy some toiletries for the house, for Caleb to use."

My eyes lit up when I heard Seraphina wanted Caleb to move in. Was this really happening? Chloe, my trusted secretary, shot me a worried glance. "Mr. Hayes just got out of the hospital after a car accident. Isn't having Caleb move in a bit insensitive to his feelings?"

Seraphina glanced at me, explaining impatiently, "Caleb tripped on the way here tonight, and it's dark. I don't feel comfortable letting him go home alone. You're not that unreasonable, are you, Jax?"

I fought to keep the corners of my mouth from curving up to my ears, cleared my throat, and feigned calmness. "It's fine."

Caleb secretly smirked, leaning into Seraphina's shoulder. "Wow, you guys live so nicely. I've never seen a house this big."

I gave him a strange look. "What can you do if you can't afford it? I bought all of this myself."

Seraphina, hearing this, paused. She whispered to me, "I've been so neglectful lately, haven't given you a gift in ages. I'll go with you tomorrow to pick out a new SUV."

"No need." I'd feel dirty just accepting it from her.

Seraphina frowned. "Why are you so…?" The word ‘obedient' was still on her tongue, but I quickly glared, afraid she'd realize my amnesia. "Go with your little lover, then."

Her expression relaxed, and she let out a low chuckle, her arm naturally wrapping around my waist. "I know you're jealous, but there's really nothing going on between him and me…"

Her touch made goosebumps erupt on my skin. I used two fingers to gently push her away.

Her face changed. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Before I could come up with an excuse, I heard Caleb call out, "Seraphina, how do you turn on this shower?"

She rushed over. "Don't move, the floor's slippery. Let me do it."

I seized the chance to slip back into my room and lock the door. The world finally went quiet.
