Two months earlier...

Lucy heard a familiar voice behind her. It sounded like her friend she met five years ago. 

"Lucy?" He called her. 

She stops yelling at nowhere and turned her head towards him. 

She was shocked to see Gale. What a coincidence that they met again at the place where Gale discovered to use for problems confession. 

"You? You're here. I bet you had many problems and mistakes to confessed here!" Lucy told him while her eyes were covered with tears. She quickly dried it with her palm.  

Gale took a deep breath and smiled at her. 

"Maybe. I just got here. It's nice to see you again here. I'm sorry about last time because I didn't have time to meet you before I go back abroad." He explained to her and Lucy finally understand why he just vanished. 

" Well, it's all in the past. I'm glad I see you again. It's time for me to go. It's your turn now." She said and about to go when Gale grabs her arms. 

"Please, stay." He said but Lucy wasn't into talking with someone right now. She just wants to find a place where she can have a good rest and peace of mind. 

"I'm sorry but I need to rest. I just got out of---" she stops when she realizes that Gale had no idea what she been through for five years in prison. If she told him that she's been in jail, maybe he will stay away because he will think that she's a criminal. 

"Nothing. See you when I see you. Bye." Lucy let go of his grip and wave her hands at him. 

Gale just sigh. He can't stop her by force and besides, they're not so close to being protective of her. 

Lucy walked in the hallway of Tagaytay tourist site when a gunshot echoed somewhere. She felt a stung on her shoulders and belly. She bent her head to check and her eyes widened when her dress was soaked in blood, her fresh blood. 

She felt dizzy and weak until she instantly collapsed on the ground.

Eloisa POV

Today was Lucy's discharge at the prison. No one can get out alive to me. I must call Brian to tail her and finish her today. Kent and I will live peacefully if I get rid of her. I know that my husband still has feelings for her and I can't accept that his heart belongs to her. I must erase her out from our lives. 

"Hello, Brian, did you follow her?" I called him. 

"Yes, she's right in front of me. My gun is now pointing at her. Should I a hot her now?" Brian ask my permission. 

I looked around to check if someone heard me. I focus on my phone again. 

"Do it now!" I ordered him without hesitation. I don't care if she's my close friend back then. I just want to take her out of the scene. 

I firmly close my eyes when Brian shot her. I heard it with my ears the gunshots, the sound of it echoes in my phone. I am startled when a hand grips my shoulders. 

"Honey, I heard you're talking to someone? Was it dad?" It's Kent asking me about my caller. 

I turned off my phone and told him that it's a call from my friend Cindy.

"She asks me if when are we going to visit her. She told me how Gale broke her heart." I simply lied to him. 

Cindy wasn't the only girlfriend of Gale proposed with but there's a lot of them. I know I'm one of them but I was drunk and loveless that night when I saw Lucy's photo in Kent's wallet. It broke my heart so I ran away and get wasted until I decided to call Gale to fetch me. 

It's still crystal clear in my head.

Flashbacks

It all started with a kiss on her cheeks until she started to like it. Gale escorted her inside the inn like her husband. 

"One room please!" He said to the receptionist and she gave him the key. 

"Room 505 sir." She said after giving him the room key. 

"Thanks." He answered back and help the drunk Eloisa inside the room he paid for one night. 

He slowly put her on the bed and about to leave her when she holds her hands and pulled him above her.

"Do you think I'm drunk? What is your plan? Are you going to just look at me for the whole night, my brother-in-law?", Eloisa began to tease her by slipping her hands inside his shirt. 

Gale was a guy and even she was his brother's wife, he can't deny the fact that his manhood is hard enough to reject her. 

" Is this what you want?" Gale said and in one second, their lips are now entwined to each other. 

"Hmmm", Eloisa moans in every kiss they shared. 

Gale stop kissing her and told her that what are they doing was wrong but Eloisa insisted. 

Until forbidden desires happened. 

-----

" Shit!" He screamed when he saw Lucy's limp and bloody body on the grasses. 

He hid behind the huge trees when he saw someone holding a gun then drags her body and placed it inside the black car. Gale slowly hops inside his car while he can't believe what he just witnesses in front of him. It's a murder. Someone killed Lucy and now the killer took her body. He followed him and it feels like they traveled forever. Gale feared that he might lose Lucy. He doesn't know if she's still alive with the gunshot or not. 

"Please, stay alive. I will save you!" Gale mumbled. 

Brian found a secluded place where no one can find her body. 

He quickly digs the ground and buried Lucy's corpse. 

"Goodbye, Lucy!" He said and looked around to check if someone saw him. After checking around he left the poor Lucy. 

Gale quickly ran to the place where Brian buried Lucy. He doesn't know what to do. 

While looking for something to dig, a heavy rain came and Gale's prayers were answered. 

"Please, don't give up Lucy. I'm coming!" He muttered while his knees on the muddy ground and his hands were busy digging up the ground. 

He started to tremble when he still can't see Lucy's face. 

"Fuck, where are you, Lucy?" He's now getting nervous. He must save her no matter what. This poor girl must survive. 

A sigh of relief crossed his face when he felt a human skin. Finally, he found Lucy. 

He quickly took her out of the hole and quickly put her inside the trunk.  She's pale as a corpse. He called his doctor to hurry and meet him in his cabin here. 

"Hurry. There's no time!" He ordered and after he came inside his cabin, he cleans her. He checks her shots and there's one on her left shoulders and the other one was the most critical. Her wounds on her belly were deep and the blood won't stop. He's relieved that she's still breathing. 

Finally, doctor Killan came and he quickly prepared everything for Lucy's operation. 

Two weeks later...

Gale took a sip of coffee inside his cabin while waiting for Lucy. She's healing and regaining her strength so quickly. 

"Good morning!" Lucy greeted him while trying not to make any movement to harm her wounds. 

Gale helps her to sit on the chair. 

"How are you feeling?" He asked her while looking at her beautiful face. 

Lucy still can't forget her tragic experience with the person who shot her. She can't believe that after her stay inside the prison, her enemies won't let her live. 

"I'm fine. Thanks to you. I don't know how I can repay you!" She told him but Gale had an idea so no one can hurt her anymore. 

"No one saw me I took you from your grave. Lucy is dead. If you live like her, they won't stop until they kill you." He told her so Lucy asks him his plan. 

Gale confessed to her everything about his identity. She knew that he was Kent's stepbrother. At first, she won't believe him but when he showed photos of him and her ex-lover and the father of her son, she believed him. 

Gale was the one who suggested that they will be joined forces to take revenge on the couple and Lucy to accept it. 

"What do you want? How can I keep my identity as Lucy?" She asked him and took one sip of milk into her mouth. 

Gale took a deep breath and hold her shoulders to look at him. 

"Marry me. Be my wife. We will change your name to Greta Stone. You will be rich and famous like me. No one will hurt you anymore." Gale said and promised to help her until his last breath. 

Lucy was hesitant at first but Gela told her that their marriage will be fake and he will provide rules in their relationship. As long as no body contact and strings attached, their deal will be safe. 

"Deal?" Gale confirmed it to Lucy while raising his hands for a shake. 

"Deal!" She accepted his offer. 

"From now on, I will call you Greta!" Gale confirmed.

And Greta Stone was born in the appearance of Lucy Mason.
