Belated Remorse

Can a shattered memory rewrite a broken heart, or will the past forever haunt her future? Grace Lambert awakens in a hospital bed, her mind a blank canvas, devoid of memories and identity. The sterile white walls offer no comfort, only a gnawing sense of disorientation and fear. She's a stranger in her own life, haunted by an unknown accident and burdened by mounting medical bills she has no way to pay. Enter Yancey Henderson, a man whose icy demeanor and venomous words pierce through her fragile state. He accuses her of deceit, manipulation, and orchestrating the accident that nearly disfigured his beloved Alice Lambert. With ruthless precision, he severs their engagement, claiming his heart belongs to Alice alone. He speaks of Grace's five-year pursuit of him, a desperate chase that ended in his rejection. But Grace's reaction defies his expectations. With surprising composure, she confesses that she doesn't recognize him or Alice. She even believes she has a boyfriend, though his name and number remain elusive fragments in her fractured mind. Yancey scoffs at her supposed amnesia, dismissing it as another ploy. In a final act of cruelty, he hands her the contact information of his uncle, Ethan Henderson, a man he claims Grace despises. Ethan, the enigmatic heir to the Henderson Group, has retreated from public life since a tragic accident two years prior left him scarred and physically disabled. Yancey assumes Grace wouldn't dare approach Ethan, a man living in seclusion and rumored to be bitter and resentful. But Yancey doesn't know that this Grace is a stranger even to herself, and thus, perhaps capable of anything. Will Grace seek out Ethan, driven by a desperate need for answers or a subconscious connection she can't explain? And if she does, will she find an ally, or will she uncover a web of secrets that could shatter what little identity she has left? Is this a second chance romance, or a new chapter in a heart wrenching drama?
