The Forgotten Past, The Found Self

The sterile smell of antiseptic was the first thing I registered, a dull ache throbbing in my head.

I was in a hospital bed, my mind a complete blank.

"You're finally awake," a woman with a tired, angry face snapped.

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused? Trying to kill yourself over a man. Olivia, you are a disgrace to the Hayes family."

More names were thrown at me by a man equally displeased: Liam, Scarlett, Olivia Reynolds-my name.

They painted a picture of a pathetic woman, obsessed with her adopted sister Scarlett's fiancé, Liam Sterling.
