Chapter 440

Audrey’s POV

“Alright then, Mrs. Wilson’s voice relaxed. “I was worried about calling with everything happening with the Parkers.”

I leaned against the hospital wall, exhaustion hitting me all at once. “What’s going on? Is something wrong with Astrid?”

“You don’t know yet?” She paused before continuing. “That girl, keeping such big news to herself. If I hadn’t cornered her just now, she wouldn’t have told

anyone.”

“Told what?”

“She lost her memory in a car accident, Mrs. Wilson sighed. “Hit her head and forgot the last five years-everything since she left for Europe.”

My grip tightened on the phone. “Lost her memory?”

Completely gone. Doesn’t remember you, Rachel, or even that boss of hers, Henry Hartford.” Her voice sharpened. “But here’s the kicker-she claims she has a fiancé in Europe! Says they’ve been engaged for years! Can you believe it? My Astrid, secretly engaged and never telling us?”

This explained Astrid’s strange behavior earlier-why she didn’t recognize me, why she passed on revenge against Thalia.

“And when she came home, she had a red handprint on her face,” Mrs. Wilson continued. “I pressed her until she admitted her so-called fiancé had slapped

her!”

“He hit her?” The words came out sharper than I intended.

“Yes! When has anyone ever dared to treat her like that?”

The Astrid I knew would destroy any man who touched her that way.

“Do you know him?” Mrs. Wilson asked anxiously.

I’m… not really familiar with him either.”

“There’s a lot happening right now,” I said. “William just passed away, Blake’s in a coma. Once I finish here, I’ll look into Astrid’s situation.”
