My Heart only Beats for You

The moment he heard Saoirse utter the name "William", all his memories came back.

Memories of the past emerged and fitted like a puzzle in Matthew's mind.

The tension in the air was palpable.

Matthew suddenly stood up as he recognized her.

He greeted her in disbelief, "Saoirse."

"Yes, it's me." Saoirse replied with an excited smile.

Matthew had a splitting headache.

He finally remembered everything.

Eight years ago, Matthew had gone to Germany to resolve his father's matters. After that had been completed, he'd hired a helicopter to fly home but he had been ambushed.

At the crucial moment, he'd jumped out of the helicopter with a parachute.

However, one of the bullets had gone through his chest. The next thing he knew, he saw Saoirse tending to his wounds.

His brain was muddled because he'd suffered a concussion when he fell.

Nevertheless, he was able to recall that Saoirse and him were married in Germany.

In Saoirse's family, there was a rule that unmarried women could not be seen by any man outside the family. They would have to get married, otherwise the man had to be killed.

When Saoirse's father was about to kill him, Saoirse decided to save Matthew by marrying him.

At that time, he had been in no shape to resist.

During their six months of marriage, Matthew had been bedridden while Saoirse fulfilled her duties as a wife by caring for his needs. When Matthew eventually recovered, he longed to go home to his father. Saoirse had to stay behind due to her heart disease.

So Matthew flew back alone to Glevania.

The plane he was on had encountered extreme turbulence during the journey, and passengers had had to evacuate by jumping from the plane with a parachute.

As Matthew jumped, his previous trauma had resurfaced.

The pain was so great that his body instinctively blocked out the painful memories.

Matthew had dissociative amnesia. He had entirely forgotten about his marriage with Saoirse, about the six long months he spent in Germany.

It was until this very moment, the sight of Saoirse brought everything back.

Matthew was overwhelmed with emotion. "I'm so sorry, Saoirse."

He did not bear any romantic feelings for Saoirse.
