Bedmates Soulmates

He stayed with her and adopted her last name, Taylor.

Austyn pushed back his chair. "Let's break for lunch. I have a personal matter to take care of. Let's meet backhere in an hour. He drove towards Rindon ceneral.

He had turned down the woman's request for ameeting today, but somehow, guilt niggled at his mind.

He had a feeling that she would be crushed if he didn't show up.

His phone was switched to silent made during the meeting

He saw half a dozen missed calls from her and another unknown number

I was now one o'clock, way past the appointed tinw.

Maybe she'd given up and left,

But he saw her as soon as his car turned into the hospital carpark

He remained in his seat and watched her.

It was late September now, but the weather in Hinton was still warm.

She stood on the steps outside the hospital's main entrance.

She was sweating, but she didn't move away from the spot where they'd parted last night.

Austyn tapped a finger on the steering wheel.

He was thrown into a panic when he woke up four years ago and realised his memory was blank

It took him a long time, plus Gwen's companionship, to get over the feeling of anxiety and to come to grips with reality.

Now he had settled into his new life.

He had a steady job.

He was soon to be married.

But then this woman jumped out of nowhere and claimed to be his wife.

Austyn had not slept a wink last night, trying to process the bombshell news.

Back then, he woke up with no ring, no wallet, no phone and no identity papers on him.

He did briefly consider the possibility that he had been married before.

After all, he was in his mid-thirties.

But if he had a wife, or any family left at all, they would have been looking all over for him

Yet, he saw nothing about a missing person who matched his description when he trawled through the news archive online. Gradually, he moved on.

Maybe he was an orphan, like Gwen.

But owen's family found her and took her back.

He, on the other hand, was not so lucky.

After seeing a neurologist almost every werk for two years, he had been prepared to accept that he might never recover his memory.

He was ready to move on to the next chapter of his life.

But this woman.

Could she really be his wife?

Austyn found it hard to believe.

But she clearly knew him.

If she was lying, what w she hoping to get from him?

Austyn scrolled through his contact list.

He was about to call a private investigator he knew and give him Kira's name

Maybe the woman was hiding something.

But before he could dial, he glimpsed a man approaching Kira.

The man heldest a bottle of water to her

She took it and smiled up at him

Austyn kurted his brows when height that smile.

The two of them started talking

What Game is She Playing?

Austyn was out of earshot.

But the two clearly knew each other.

They were standing close together.

Then the man suddenly reached out and drew her into his arms.

Austyn watched the scene with a stony face.

Then he tossed his phone onto the dashboard and started the engine.

Act Fast: Free Bonus Time is Running Out!

Austyn Is A Godsend

"Me you all right

Kisa tell light headed.

Jesse repeated his question three times before Kira finally registered it.

"You almost fainted there," Jesse put both arms on her shoulders and examined her face. 'I think you are getting a heat stroke."

Kira blinked several times and regained her balance.

She pulled out of Jesse's amas

"You don't look fine.

Kira massaged her throbbing temples.

"I'm fine, really. It's just low blood sugar. I haven't had lunch.

Are you sure?" Jesse frowned.

He touched her forehead. "We are literally on the doorsteps of a hospital. I think you should get yourself checked out."

Kira looked up when she heard the sound of an engine.

But all she saw was a black sedan pulling out of the carpack

she checked her phone.

It was now more than ninety minutes past nODIL

Austyn was not going to show

Kira hid a bitter smille.

It was hard for her to accept the way he was treating her.

After having experienced how passionate his love could be, she could never go back to being just a stranger to him.

'I think it's time to call it quits." Jesse scanned the plaza. 'He's not coming."

'Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?" he asked again.

"You are a doctor," she said. "You can tell I'm fine, right?"

Jesse shrugged and gave up..

He took Kira by the elbow and guided her to a shady spot under anelm tree.

to hold me

"You need to take better care of yourself,' he grumbled. 'Or Charlotte's going to hold me responsible."

Kira said nothing.

Jesse sighed

"We can't just stay here and wait for him to show up. Whoever that patient he was visiting has already checked out. We need to be proactive here. Do you know where he's staying?" 'What about his place of work?'

Kira shook her head.

Jesse sighed again, exasperated.

Maybe it was time to call in a private investigator

Rinton had close to a million people.

With just the two of them, they'd been looking for Austyn forever.

'Mass Taylor Samantha stood up when she saw Gwen approach.

Jan in his office? wen nodded at the secretary

"Yes.

"What was his schedule like today?

*MrTaylor had an acquisitions meeting this morning. He went out for a while after lunch. He

'Do you know where he went?' Owen Interjected.

'Sorry, no. He said it was a private matter."

Gwen passed her lips. 'Go on."

Mr Taylor fished another meeting fifteen minutes ago. There's a business dinner scheduled at seven thlity."

Gwen nodded and headed for the vice president's office.

Samantha watched her back and stock out her lowerlip.

Miss Taylor held the position of finance manager at the company, but she seldom showed up for work

She could afford to do that because she had the good fortune of finding herself a capable fiancé.

The story of Miss Gwen Taylor was well-known around the office.

owen returned to the Taylor family a little over four years ago.

She was separated from her family when she was just a baby.

Herney lost her while they were out for a stroll

Gwen was found on the street and taken in by an orphanage, where she grew up.

Then she was recruited by the Gamer family,

dwen was in her mid-twenties now and had no intention of looking for her birth parents.

She heard about the Taylors missing baby by chance.

That happened atter Gideon banished her back to Duthlan

Sad and dejected and resentful, Gwen decided to take achance-the Taylor baby's last known location was just twenty blocks away from where she was found by the orphanage director

Gwen approached Mrs Taylor and proposed a DNA test

The result was a match, but her mother was reluctant to take her back

Gwen had undergone so many rounds of plastic surgeries, she no longer looked like anyone in the Taylor family.

But Mrs Taylor didn't have a choice, Gwen was persistent.

Gwen was eager to leave the damer family.

She wanted to get back at Gideon for casting her aside like a piece of trash, but she couldn't do it on her own.

So she followed Mrs Taylor back to Rinton and finagled her way into the Taylor Group, a family-run retail
