Shera sobbed as she explained, “I understand your astonishment, but it's really
me. I survived the car accident, albeit with severe injuries. Rhea, driven by
personal motives, sent me abroad and orchestrated the cremation of another
person's body. She believed that my disappearance would make you more
inclined to be with her.”
Marcus gestured for her to come inside.
“Let's go inside.
Shera seated herself on the sofa, her nerves visibly frayed.
With a somber expression, Marcus poured her a glass of warm water before
taking a seat.
“Are you saying that Rhea imprisoned you overseas? She wanted everyone to
believe you were dead?”
He had considered Rhea to be merely spoiled, but he didn’t think she'd be
capable of something so cruel.
While he had supported Rhea’s education and career, given her gifts and
assistance over the years, he hadn't truly comprehended her character.
Shera affirmed his suspicions.
“Yes, that's right. I never imagined my sister could be so malicious.
Despite her facade of indulgence, I never anticipated her locking me in a
basement, a life worse than death. I wanted to escape, but I was closely
watched, Still, I never ceased my attempts to return. Two months ago, my
surveillance was somewhat lax, with only one person overseeing me. When she
entered to bring me food, I used a fork as a makeshift weapon, compelling her to
let me out.”
She added, “Marcus, I'm terrified...”
She then sought solace in Marcus's arms once more.
“I've yearned for you every single day. Have you missed me?” asked Shera.

Despite her pitiable state, Marcus gently pushed her away, rising to his feet and
creating distance between them.
“You've endured so much in these past years. They attempted to eliminate me in
that car accident, but I hadn't foreseen your involvement. I apologize for that.
Nonetheless, I want to reiterate what I said five years ago. While I value your
kindness and bravery, a romantic relationship between us remains impossible.
Please respect my decision.”
During a business trip abroad, he had encountered Shera. At the time, she was
distributing bread to homeless children in the square. He was waiting in his car at
a red light.
Sadly, her altruism didn’t garner a favorable response. A native man approached,
kicked her down, and robbed her of her wallet.

He advised her, “Check if anything's missing from your wallet.”
She inspected her wallet, finding only a few identification cards, with no cash
inside.
Frowning, he inquired, “Did he take all your money?”
