When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 197



Everyone's eyes were glued to Clyde in disbelief, and I felt as if my blood had turned to ice. Was Clyde suffering from amnesia, or were his memories all jumbled up?

I approached him, cupping his face in my hands. "Clyde, look at me closely. Who am I?"

"This isn't exactly my idea of fun, you know!" I retorted, just as he shoved me away. Rachel quickly caught me, then whispered in my ear, "What on earth is happening?"

I shook my head; I was as clueless as she was.
