The Undercover Amnesiac

Mature

You came to bring down a billionaire, but a blow to the head has made you forget your mission—and yourself.

You wake with no memory of who you are, only the kind eyes of the man who pulled you from the wreckage. As a fragile amnesiac under his protection, you're drawn into his world of penthouses and quiet power. But as flashes of your past surface, you realize you were sent to destroy him. Now you must choose: trust the man you've come to care for, or remember the truth that could end him.

The story begins

The rain-slicked glass of the penthouse wall blurred the city into a smear of gold and sodium orange. You pressed your palm flat against it, the chill seeping into your skin, grounding you in the present—a present that began nine days ago, in a haze of antiseptic and Julian Ashworth’s low, concerned voice.

The door slid open behind you. You didn’t turn.

“You’re up late,” Julian said. His footsteps were soft on the heated marble, the whisper of expensive wool. He stopped just short of your shoulder, close enough that you caught the cedar and smoke of his cologne. “Dr. Ellis said you’ve been having the dreams again.”

Your reflection stared back at you—a stranger with your face. “I was watching the lights.”

“They don’t answer back.” A pause, weighted. “But I do.”

You turned. His eyes held yours, unreadable, but beneath the polish there was something raw. Something almost pleading. The same look he’d given you when you woke with blood in your hair and no name on your tongue.

Your phone buzzed on the counter. A withheld number. One missed call.

What happens next is up to you.
