Chapter 1
Nellie sat across from Almos, the world's most famous hypnotist. Her slender face and hollow eyes, coupled with
her earnest demeanor, painted the picture of someone desperate for relief. "I need to forget someone," she
confessed, her voice quivering and her frail shoulders echoing the tremor in her words.
Almos pulled out his old pocket watch, swinging it gracefully through the air before letting it settle in front of
Nellie's eyes. She watched it intently, waiting for Almos to weave his hypnotic spell. "Do you have any unfinished
business?" Almos inquired gently.
Nellie shook her head, a silent admission that she was ready to let go of everything.
Almos sensed the depth of her despair. Why else would she choose such a drastic way to disconnect from her

"Where should | take you once we're done here?" Almos asked, shifting his approach.
As a hypnotist with a global reputation, AlImos had guided countless clients through the labyrinth of their minds,
helping them recover or erase memories. Those who left his office often felt reborn. But Nellie, she wanted all
her memories wiped clean.
After the session, she might be nothing more than a blank canvas. It was crucial to have a plan in place so that
she wouldn't be left without support.
Looking troubled, Nellie finally handed Almos a slip of paper with a phone number.
"This is my husband's number. Please takeback to him," she said, her eyes welling up, her voice dropping to
a whisper. "If he doesn't want me, could you please leaveat Rainbow Bridge?" Almos nodded, understanding
the weight of her request. He was committed to fulfilling his clients’ wishes.
"Alright, let's get started," he said.
As the pocket watch swung back and forth, a haunting melody played softly in Nellie's ears. Her mind began to
replay scenes from her past.
She remembered the chaos of her parents’ divorce. Her parents fought over custody of her sister, leaving Nellie
huddled in the corner, crying and begging them not to leave her behind. She promised to be good, to study hard,
to be everything they wanted. In the end, her father won and took her sister away.
Left with her mother, Nellie endured daily scoldings and abuse, branded as a burden that had ruined her
mother's life. Yet, she persevered, defying the odds to becan outstanding university student. Then, the

At 19, she met Cameron. He was a beacon of hope in her dark life, financed her education, taught her new
languages, transformed her into a refined young woman, and eventually proposed to her.
She believed Cameron was the destined one. Grateful and in love, she bechis devoted wife.
But three months ago, everything changed. Cameron demanded she donate a kidney to her critically ill sister.
Terrified and unwilling, Nellie found herself trapped when Cameron held her chin and said, "Nel, do you know
why | married you? | gave you wealth and status in exchange for your kidney."
Nellie wasn't naive; her face turned ashen with disbelief. Trembling, she asked, "Cameron, did you ever love
me?"
Cameron replied honestly, "Nel, | once loved your sister deeply. But | promise, if you save her, our marriage will
last forever. As long as your sister lives, | won't have any regrets in this life."
