Time is flying like anything.After the disastrous incident, Diaz, her mom and Mitchel were arrested by cops. Poor Diaz killed herself in prison. Bella could not bear the shock of her daughter’s death and became mentally depressed. She is currently in the psychiatric division of state prison. Mitchel is still behind the bars and have 6 more years to serve.Even though Hal was also behind the conspiracy, having Mary and kids in mind, Luc did not press charges against him.

Lia’s POVI wake from my deep slumber and turn to see Luc lying head down. He is asleep sitting next to me holding my hand. I try to release my hands, key word try. Once I move my hand, he grips even more tight and jerks up. He looks at me first as if to believe that I am really awake. Then he smiles slowly.“Hi” I say not knowing what to say.He chuckles at me.“Hi yourself.”“How are you feeling? Any pain?” He asks me looking at my mid-section.

My heart will be scarred with that forever. I have failed to save Lia. I have failed my promises to her.Mom never says a word, but sits next to me. That is all I want now.

Or the way you started treating Diaz and Bella differently? And, I am talking on behalf of your mom too.”I am speechless. How can I think so less of my family? A streak of guilt passes in along with my other emotions. Let me deal with that later. Right now, Lia is my priority. Dad says that he will be getting all the help he can, starting from the cops in that locality. I close the call and realize that we were almost near.James park the c
