head back and forth, stepping away from the picture.
    “That was a lovely evening.”
    I jumped and turned around. Seth was standing right behind me. My anger was quick to come.
    I shoved his shoulder. “What is wrong with you? You almost gave me a heart attack!” I could feel my cheeks flushing with anger. I felt defensive, like what I was doing was wrong.
    He did not like me. I could feel distaste radiating from his body in waves. If he did not like me, or Evelyn, why was he engaged to her… or me? The question sat on the tip of my tongue while we stood there in silence.
    He finally spoke. “I was coming to check on you.”
    “Oh, my.” I brought my hands to my heart and gave him a cheery look. “You are such a gentleman!”
    Seth’s lips quirked at my sarcasm. “I believe you are on bedrest.”
    I decided to press the boundaries with my 'fiancé' and test out what kind of relationship he and Evelyn truly had. “Is this the part where I invite you to my bed?” I shot him a flirtatious look.
    His nose crinkled with disgust then shock overrode it. He was surprised at my words. Has he never shared a bed with Evelyn? I shot a quick look at the painting of her. She seemed mean. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t want to share a bed with her too.
    He didn’t say anything, but took me by the elbow and led me back to Evelyn’s bedroom. Opening the door, he roughly shoved me inside. Now anger was written all over his face.
    “Are you trying to get us killed?”
    Killed? A laugh almost left my mouth. Seth sure was dramatic. I crossed my arms over my chest and plopped my butt down on the bed. He looked down on me, just like he did that night in the forest.
    “What? My bed is big enough for two.” I flopped backwards and stretched my arms out on the smooth surface. I was pressing his buttons. I don’t know why I was doing it. It was just a scratch that I wanted to itch.
    In a flash, he was standing over me. He gripped my jaw and forced me to face him. Rage filled those dark eyes of his.
    “I know you currently have loss of memory, but do us both a favor and study the law.”
    I attempted to get his hard grip off of my jaw. “Let go,” I demanded.
    “Sexual intercourse is only allowed between a man and a woman who is married. If anyone were to suspect that you, Stephan’s only claimed child, were sexually active with me we would be assassinated. Do not play with words that your small mind cannot fully comprehend.” In a moment’s notice, his rough hands were off of my jaw and he was marching out of the room.
    I sat up, massaging the ache on my jaw. I finally know what is going on. I time traveled to the past. I was all the way back to the days where woman had to save their virginity for their husbands otherwise they were branded with a big, red letter A.
    Leaving the bedroom crossed my mind, but I decided that that was enough excitement for my day. I dropped my head into my palm. What was I doing? I looked around the bedroom. I always dreamed of working hard and living in luxury. Here I was living my dream, but fighting it at the same time. This was all Evelyn’s. Not mine. Where was she? Is she alone? Scared? Lost? What if she is stuck underneath all that debrief from the bombing? What if I was injured too and they grabbed the wrong girl?
    I was being ludicrous. This entire situation was extremely crazy. I groaned.
    The door clicked open. “Are you in pain? I heard you groaning from outside your bedroom door.” Dr. Lynn stepped into my bedroom and gave me a faint smile.
    I shook my head but kept my face down.
    “Sorry, I should have knocked. I don’t know where my manners are going. You have been different ever since you woke up and it makes me feel more relaxed around you.”
    “What do you mean?” I inquired, peaking at him through my brown hair.
    A flush spread up his cheeks. “Before you were verbally aggressive and now you are much calmer and friendly.”
    I could not remember a time where I was friendly
