Harrison stood in the doorway , his eyes bloodshot as he stared at me . " Laura ! It's you ! You're alive ! " I dug my nails into my palms , forcing myself to stay calm . " Sir , you've mistaken me for someone else . " His gaze swept back and forth across my face before he collapsed into a chair , defeated . " Then please , just a latte . " My hands shook uncontrollably as I made the coffee . When I placed the cup before him , his gaze suddenly locked onto my wrist , where the jagged scar from my fall was clearly visible under the lights . " That scar … " his voice trembled . I quickly pulled down my sleeve . " I fell when I was little . " Harrison's eyes dimmed as he sipped his coffee , finally seeming to accept he'd been mistaken . ust then , the door was roughly pushed open again . ulian stormed in , plopping down across from Harrison . " Bro ! How long are you going to hide out here mourning that dead woman ? Lilith cries herself to sleep very night . Don't you feel sorry for her ? " Harrison's voice was severely hoarse . " Julian , ever since she left , I dream of her covered in blood every night . " His eyes suddenly turned sharp . " As for Lilith , I saw her with that actor in the dressing room with my own eyes … I'm done with her . " alian's eyes widened in shock . " How could Lilith possibly … " Don't mention that name again . " Harrison slammed down his coffee cup . " I've investigated everything . The kidnapping was entirely her scheme . " ulian's face turned deathly pale . " That's impossible ! " Iarrison stood and walked out without looking back . utside , a woman with red eyes threw herself at him . " Harrison ! Let me explain !

His eyes immediately dimmed as he found a corner to sit in . I got up to make him coffee , Just then , Liam's toy rolled to his feet . Harrison bent to pick it up , but froze when he saw what was under the couch . His body began trembling uncontrollably . When he slowly straightened , he held up a faded bracelet . " Laura , it really is you … " My heart clenched . This bracelet was something he'd casually bought from a street vendor years ago for less than a hundred dollars . But I'd treasured it like a precious gem , wearing it every day , even refusing to take it off while bathing . After moving to Los Angeles , I'd lost it somehow . I'd searched everywhere , but eventually gave up , thinking it was better to forget the past anyway . I never expected this most insignificant little item to become the evidence that exposed me .

Now you say you have feelings for me ? Don't you find those words ridiculous and pathetic ? " clenched my fists . " Since Lilith was the only one in your heart , why did you marry me ? Do you know those photos Julian took of me killed my parents … " My voice was hoarse beyond recognition . " You all … deserve to rot in hell ! " Harrison's face turned white as paper .
