Chapter 2 The next morning , I was halfway to the airport when my father in law called . " Margaret had a heart attack . She's still in the ICU . Keeps saying Grayson's name over and over . " " Is he ... is he really not Grayson ? " Margaret - that was my mother - in - law . My hands started shaking on the steering wheel . Richard Ashford was always the calm , collected CEO type . Hearing him sound so broken made my chest tighten . " I don't know if she's gonna make it this time , Rosalie . I'm scared she'll die without ever seeing her son again . " My throat burned . " Dad . I'll go get him . I promise . " I pulled a U - turn and drove straight back . When Grayson opened the door and saw me standing there , his face went ice - cold . I didn't have time for his attitude . I shoved my phone into his hands . Your mom had a heart attack . She's in the ICU asking for you . Are you seriously going to keep up this act ? " Hearing that his mother was in trouble , Grayson's face went white . He steadied the phone in his hand and was just about to connect the video call when a perfectly manicured finger reached over and ended it . Vanessa glared at me and then hurled the phone at my face . Are you insane ? You said yesterday you wouldn't bother us anymore ! " Grayson reached for the phone , his jaw tight . She said my- " le caught my eye and course - corrected . Her mother - in - law's sick . She wants me to pretend to be her husband or whatever . " Vanessa snorted . ' Pretend ? Please . This is obviously some desperate guilt trip to manipulate you into admitting you're him ! " I've seen this move a million times . You're not calling anyone ! And if you do ? You can sleep on the couch tonight . Try me . " Grayson caved immediately . " Okay , okay . I won't call . " I stared at him , with disbelief . " Grayson . That's your MOTHER !

And you won't even make a phone call ? " " This could be the last time you ever- " His body went rigid . His lips parted like he might actually say something . Then Vanessa wrapped her arms around him , playing the innocent card . Like I said , he's not your husband . Why are you trying to make him lie to some random old lady ? " Besides , he's not a doctor . A phone call isn't gonna save her life . Can you please just leave us alone ? " she shot me a smug look and nodded toward the door . Grayson still hesitated . But Vanessa's hand slid under his shirt . That made up his mind real quick . Look , I can't help you . Call 911 or something . " le shut the door . But not all the way . Through the crack , I heard her giggle . Heard him groan . His mother was dying . And he was in there fucking with HER . All these years , I finally saw him clearly . After three years of searching , I had my answer . it the airport , I found out my ticket had been canceled . lefore I could figure out why , Jake grabbed my arm and pulled me toward his car . Wait - weren't you here to bring Grayson home ? Why are you leaving alone ? " looked at him , completely drained . " He's not Grayson , remember ? " ake blinked , scrambling . Come on , Rosalie . You know he has amnesia . He just doesn't remember who he is yet . " You can't just abandon him like this ! " almost laughed . Abandon him ?
