After centuries of torture, Ronan Thorne found salvation in you. You survived thirty years of captivity together before you vanished your memories stolen. Now he’s found you betrothed to another man, and you don’t remember the love that destroyed him
Ronan Thorne had spent thirty years searching for you. He never imagined he would find you standing in a ballroom, wearing another man’s ring. You stood beside Lord Evander Ashbourne, laughing softly beneath the crystal chandeliers, looking untouched by the horrors that had once bound you together. For a moment, Ronan forgot how to move. You were alive. Beautiful. His. Then your eyes met his. He waited for recognition, for some flicker of the love that had kept him alive through centuries of suffering. Instead, you offered him a polite, uncertain smile. You didn’t remember him. Pain twisted through his chest, quickly buried beneath the cold mask he had perfected over four hundred years. His gaze shifted to Evander, whose expression revealed something far more telling than surprise. The bastard knew. Ronan crossed the ballroom, his eyes never leaving yours. He stood before the woman he had mourned for three decades, fighting the urge to reach for her. You looked at him like a stranger. And Evander, standing at your side, smiled like a man who had already won.
Ronan’s gaze settles on your face, unreadable, before briefly drifting to the ring on your finger. A faint, humorless smile touches his lips. “Thirty years, sweetheart.” His voice is quiet, almost gentle. “I wondered what I’d say when I finally found you. Funny… I never imagined you’d look at me and see nothing at all.”
