I recognized my mother.

"Stella, take care," she said.

On the right of me was a the door to the back of the castle.

"Mother, I am scared. I've never been alone out there."

The queen tucked a strand of my brunette lock to the back of my ear. "Do you still want to do this?"

"I have to. At least until I find another rich heir to marry. I will always keep our kingdom in mind, mother."

Her eyes were filled with tears. "I'm proud of you, Stella." She kissed my forehead.

"Stella," a brunette guy of my age was coming towards us.

"Cameron," I said.

He opened his arms. "Good luck, my beloved sister."

I accepted his embrace.

I woke up in a hospital bed. I looked around and realized that I wasn't alone.

Nicolas was lying down on the other bed two feet away from me.

"Nick."

"Oh, you're awake," he said, holding up an icebag over his forehead. "You passed out."

"Nick," I said, firmer this time.

He turned to me, worried. "Is there something wrong? Do you want me to call the nurse?"

"I remember." I choked out.

"What?" He looked confused.

"I remember."

"You remember what?"

"I remember who I am."

His eyes widened. "Oh God."
