Shadows of the Forgotten Heiress

Mr. Blackwood, you must know— I am Mrs. Grantham."

"Oh? Then tell me, Seraphina... what should I do if I want to make you Mrs. Blackwood?"

A slow ballroom dance. Just as Seraphina turned, Alistair's foot landed on her heel.

"Ouch!"

"Does it hurt?" His voice was calm, unreadable.

"Why wouldn't it? An 80-kilogram man just stepped on my foot!"

Alistair's gaze darkened. "Then tell me, Seraphina… what about the pain you caused for the past seven years?"

She froze. Seven years?

Before she could ask, Alistair turned and walked away.

Moments later, Nicholas appeared beside her. "What happened, wife?"

Seraphina glanced at her husband, then back at Alistair's retreating figure.

"Nicholas… do you know Alistair Blackwood?"

Nicholas followed her line of sight, his expression darkening. "He was my junior at the academy. Why? Did he say something?"

A strange sensation crept over Seraphina— the first in years. Something unsettling. Something familiar.

"I think he knows me. Not the woman I am now… but the woman I used to be."

Nicholas stiffened. Warning bells rang in his head. If Seraphina started remembering the past, she would start questioning everything.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seraphina Lancaster had once possessed everything— intelligence, beauty, and a life she called adventurous and wonderful.

Until the night of her engagement to Alistair Blackwood, heir to the powerful Blackwood Empire. That was the night everything fell apart.

Desperate, she sent her mother and younger sister to safety— only to be hunted down herself. Trapped at the edge of a cliff, she fell into the abyss.

When she woke up, she was no longer Seraphina Lancaster. Her past was gone. She lost her memories. She had only a name.

The Grantham family took her in. Their patriarch saved her, gave her a new identity, and years later, she became Mrs. Nicholas Grantham— envied, respected, powerful.

But on the day of Grandfather Grantham's will reading, everything changed. A letter from his lawyer left her shaken. And with it, the entire Grantham Empire became hers.

From that moment, she changed. As she began unearthing the truth, she realized the past wasn't buried. It was waiting. Watching. Hiding in the shadows.

And in that darkness, a man followed her every step.

Protecting her. Waiting for her to remember. Waiting for her to come back.

Because seven years ago, Seraphina Lancaster disappeared.

And now… she was waking up.
