Rose was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to three years in prison . When she got out , she went looking for Terence . But the beautiful , vibrant young woman was gone , replaced by a faded , worn - out version of her former self . Terence , far from being Chapter 2 1238 interested , now hated her for being the cause of his downfall . With nowhere else to go , she latched onto him , a constant , despera- te presence in his life . One night , after being berated by a difficult guest at the hotel , a drunk and miserable Terence took out all of his life's frustrations on her . He beat her so badly that he broke her leg , disfigured her face , and ruined her life completely . She reported him to the poli- ce , and Terence , too , was sent to prison . I learned about all of this much later . After six years of working alongside Leo , of seeing his unwavering kindness and support , finally let myself love again . We shared the same goals , the same dreams , and we built a relationship based on mutual respect and genuine affection . Just because I was betrayed once didn't mean I had lost my capacity to love . And this time , I knew I had not made the wrong choi- ce .
