Chapter 1
Catherine was lying in her bed, lost in her thoughts.
Her life had been full of tragedy; her mother's murder, Vincent, who safed her life more times than she could count, until finally both of them gave in to have the relationship they wanted but were afraid of.
One would expect a happy ever after until Vincent was kidnapped, his memory, his personality erased.
He wasn't the same man she fell in love with, she thought it wouldn't matter for only she was with him but this was painfully wrong.
She just didn't have the power to bring him back.
Never did she have the desire to mentally go back to the events of this day 5 years ago, but the same thoughts would hunt her down over and over again.
Everyone who knew her was aware of Vincents betrayal, of the lies he told her. Only Cat was too blind to see it, until she couldn't hide the marks he left on her heart anymore.
5 years ago
Cat and Tess were given a day off, no case to solve, no murderer to catch.
The plan had been to surprise Vincent at work.
Revealing his identity, his past to the world opened new doors for him. The future they had dreamed of started to form right in front of them.
With two cups of coffee and his favourite sandwich she walked through the long hallways of the hospital on her way to his office.
She always looked forward to seeing him because no matter what happened between them, when she was with him she felt save.
Before she entered she knocked once, though he probably already knew that she was standing at his door.
But never would she have expected that scene she witnessed when she opened the door.
Seeing that redhead on his lap, seeing how passionately he kissed her made something snap inside of her.
She was supposed to be the one who captured his senses, who made him forget about everything around them,to make him let down his guard.
The cups slipped through her fingers and she stood still, starting at him. "No! This is a joke, right? " She whispered. He stared back at her and when she couldn't find the hint of an apology, of regre the hint of an apology, she turned on her heels and run away.
Never did she expect that his promises, his proposal were fake. She was too shocked to cry when she drove all the way back to his boat house.
No matter what he would tell her: she knew that she had to leave him, for the sake of her sanity.
She had packed her stuff in less than 15 minutes but she allowed herself to lay down on their bed one last time to cry for everything she just lost.
"Catherine!" His voice was harsh, but he came back for her to find her crying.
He sat down on the bed but didn't dare touching her.
She tried to get away from him and he knew that there was no turning back for them.
"How long have you been seeing her? "
Cat knew that the answer would only make her suffer more but it didn't matter anymore.
"2 weeks, maybe 3."
"Ok!" Was the only thing she could reply, she didn't have the strength for more.
She got up from the bed and he followed her down the stairs, waiting for her next move. The engagement ring burned on her finger, she pulled it down and left it on the counter before she took her suitcase and left without a word.
This scene hunted her even years later but when the door of the boathouse closed in her dream,she would always wake up.
Catherine turned around and snuggled closer into Noahs strong arms.
"A penny for your thoughts? " he whispered.
Through the open curtains the sun streamed in and warmed their n*** bodies under the white sheets.
"It would take a lifetime to tell my story ..." she murmured and kissed him passionately to change the topic.
Why was it so hard for her to let him go?
"I could get used to this, you know? Waking up next to you!"
Playfully she pushed him back down and climbed on top of him.
"Oh no, Cat! You know that I'd like to stay her, with you. But- I have to go to work! "
He gave her one last kiss before he got up and smiled when he saw her pouting.
She stayed in bed till Noah was gone before she got up and prepared breakfast.
Noah had left the newspaper behind and over pancakes and coffee she scanned through the headlines, until one familiar name caught her eye.
