Everyone deserved to be happy, everyone but not Daniella. She thought she could be part of that everyone but she hoped too much.  

Her face recast into one of superiority erasing the crestfallen face that belonged to a woman who loved and trusted too much. 

One step after another, the distance between Daniella and Evan widened. He could hear her footsteps and its thumping simultaneously with his heart. 

Her footstep leaving, he froze when he realized what he has done to her. The weight of his decision was so heavy that he felt suffocated. 

His hand absently lifted to reach for her arm but she was too far away. A line appeared in between his brows. She might not have any expression on her face, replicating almost the wall, but her eyes, those round eyes of hers were shinning with disappointment. 

'Look at me, Daniella. Turn around' he screamed in his mind, he wanted to voice out those words but his lips were frozen. 

She was getting farther and farther, one more step and she will be out of the police station, out of his sight and out of his reach. 

Evan gulped hard. He just needed to kiss her, and then she will know everything but she opened the door without saying a word to him, she didn't even look at him it was as if he was invisible. And with that, Evan felt his gut just got cement pumped into them. 

This can't be right, those round beautiful eyes which he loves so much refused to look at him. She must have hated him for her to act like this. 

His hand dropped on his side and immediately balled into fists. His jaw gnashed in anger, how could he be so stupid. 

Suddenly, he regretted his decision. Why? He asked himself. Why did he make that kind of decision? 

But it was too late. Regret comes after the mistake. If there's no mistake, there will be no regret and since he's regretting his decision it only meant that he chose the wrong decision.  

Another heavy sigh left his parted disappointed lips. Sight dropped to the ground in regret. 

No… he lifted his chin and looked at the door. Daniella was still there, she was not moving nor leaving it was as if she was waiting for someone or something to happen. 

With big steps, he rushed towards her. His parents voice in the background asking him to stop but he decided to be deaf and pretend that there's no one around. In his mind, it's just him and her. 

When he finally reached her, he grabbed her wrist and turned her around to face him. 

Finally, he was able to reach her again. He smiled with that small triumph. 

He saw the sparkle in her eyes but it soon faded with disappointment. 

He just wanted her to be who she was. He didn't want her to change. The way her tongue speak so sharply, the way her eyes melt even the coldest heart by one blink and the way she smiled at him. He wanted all of those to stay. He wanted her to be stronger because she was already strong when they met. All the things she could do, he felt so small but it didn't matter to him, even though sometimes he felt useless and drawn to her capabilities. 


He made that decision because he thought it would help her to become stronger but instead, he caused her more pain than anyone. His world was cold without her but he can live with it for now, at least while she's getting her revenge. 

\"Kiss me, Daniella.\" 

\"What?\" she asked, sounded so confused. 

\"I said, kiss me,\" he said in a whisper. 

She looked at him dumbfounded. Then she gulped hard, tiptoed while her hands landed on his lips. 

Just like a small obedient girl, she kissed him. Her heart thumped, chaos took over her mind. She just needed to know his reason for leaving her after this, she will leave. She will disappear from his sight. 

One by one, fragments of memory which flashed as images turned into a whole picture. Faces of the people he met, familiar and unfamiliar, their voices, and conversation, all of it was slowly absorbing Daniella's conscious.  

One particular voice woke up the hidden curiosity sleeping inside of Daniella. It was Glen, looking at Evan while the latter asked him to keep the secret about Danny. 

How? She wondered. Evan knew about Danny long before she even knew it. Awe overtook her face, her hands in his shoulders dropped on her side while her lips quickly detached from his. 

Eyes sparkling with confusing, Daniella stared at Evan. 

Evan bit his lower lips so hard that it pained him. She knew about Danny, all the memory he saw, the pain from the heartbreak he caused, all of it was driving him crazy.  

He didn't know that it would cause her this much pain. If he knew, he would have opened up to her but he took everything in his hands, kept a secret from her about her son and for what. 

He sighed. He was simply afraid, frightened like a little dog. She was even willing to bear his child and what had he done to her?  

Daniella's eyes started to wet, how could he hide the truth about her son. When did he start keeping secret from her? 

Her mind froze for a moment. Just like him, she also started keeping secret. Making a deal with Roman Lee only to be betrayed. Daniella's lips curled upward bitterly. She sniffed and blinked her eyes to stop herself from crying. 

\"When did we start hiding secrets to each other?\" she asked in a whisper. 

Evan answered with a half shrug, he lifted a hand in the air, reaching for her face but she took a step back, making a distance in between them. 

He can still reach her if he wanted too but her expression said to not to. That his touch won't mean anything, that it won't bring things back to the way it was before. 

So he clenched his fist and pursed his lips. 

\"Maybe, we are not really meant for each other Evan,\" those words left her lips in a medium voice. Some could hear it while the other could only guess by staring at Daniella's lips. 

\"Meeting you is indeed a mistake.\" 

When she turned around, Evan's shoulder sunken, he felt as if the world has also turned its back on him. 

'No, come back,' he said in his mind.

The flashes of the cameras made Evan turn his head at the side. Slowly, he opened his eyes and the first person he saw from the distance, hiding behind the police was Arthur. 

He took a deep sigh, one after another the camera flashes flickered but it was not focused at him, it was focused at someone else. 

He looked at where Daniella left, only to find her choking Camille while the woman was laying on the hood of the police car.
