Deserve to be loved

She was the daughter they didn't want. The girl her own family blamed for everything - for her brother's disappearance, for the grief they chose to wear as rage. For ten years, Amara Rose Willemson survived beatings, silence, and starvation. She kept her head down, her secrets locked, and her love for a family that did not love her back. Then came the night everything broke. One accident. One name she didn't recognize. One family who looked at her like she was something worth fighting for. She woke up as Rosa. She doesn't remember the pain. She doesn't remember the years of cruelty. And she doesn't remember him - the dark-eyed man who once watched her suffer and felt nothing but satisfaction. Xavier King Knight has never wanted anything he didn't get. But the girl he loved in silence, then hurt in silence, doesn't know his face anymore. And the man who could buy countries and break empires finds himself standing in the cold outside her gate for seven days - waiting for a girl who doesn't owe him a single second of her time. She forgot everything he did to her. He remembers every last thing. Does she deserve to be loved? She always did. The question is whether the people around her finally deserve her.
