"What is this? Are you saying that Joel's depression is fake?" Queenie asked in disbelief."Yeah." Felicity nodded. "I dug through a lot of records and tracked down the doctor who gave that diagnosis. She wouldn't admit anything, but I found out that Joel paid her off to forge the paperwork. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to verify it.""That's impossible. Joel would never lie to me." Even now, Queenie still couldn't bring herself to accept it."Ms. Stone, our agency doesn't fabricate things. I think you can judge for yourself whether or not it's true." Felicity yawned. "Sorry, but I'm off the clock.""What about Evan? Where is he?" Queenie refused to leave, thinking that Felicity might know where Evan had gone."How would I know? He was just a client. He paid, I delivered, and that's the end of it." Felicity actually found it funny. "You're his girlfriend, Ms. Stone. Shouldn't you know where he went?"As Queenie walked out of the detective agency, she stared down

"There's nothing else." Joel shook his head wildly. "There's nothing else, Queenie. Other than this, I've never lied to you about anything!"As soon as he finished speaking, he started acting like he couldn't breathe. Before, he and Queenie had argued like this too. Every time, as long as he pretended his depression was acting up, she would forgive him.He thought this time would be the same. But now, as she watched his performance, she only found it ridiculous.She flung the folder she held straight at him. "You're beyond saving, Joel. It's been five years. You never had depression, yet you lied to me about it for five whole years!"I just gave you one last chance, and you didn't cherish it. From today on, there's nothing between us anymore. Don't ever show up in front of me again!"Queenie turned on her heel and walked off. Joel started to go after her, but then he saw what had slipped out of the folder. It was the fake depression diagnosis he'd paid someone to forge, along with

The woman said, "Hey there, handsome. You alone? Want me to keep you company for a few drinks?""Get lost," Joel said impatiently. "Do you know who I am? You've got some nerve, getting in my way!""Heh. I'm sure everyone in this bar knows who you are." The woman laughed. "You're Joel Lodge, the Lodge family's heir… though you look more like a defeated stray than anything now."I heard that after Queenie dumped you, she terminated all business deals with the Lodge family. Your mom kicked you out and even wants to disown you. Honestly, what was all of this for?"She reached out and gripped Joel's chin. "Queenie Stone might be blind, but I'm not. How about you get with me instead? I can help you with whatever you want, whether it's money or getting anything done."Joel sobered up slightly. He lifted his eyes and studied the woman before him. She was Yvonne Ward, the heiress of the Ward family, who also had some standing in Jerviston.His parents had kicked him out, so he had nowhere

Evan hadn't expected Queenie to be so persistent. She just wouldn't give up. The calm he had just managed to regain instantly curdled into something foul."All your coworkers have gone home for dinner. Why haven't you? Your stomach's always been bad. If you don't eat, it's gonna start hurting again," she said."Queenie." Evan shook his head, baffled. "What do you actually want from me? Can't you just leave me alone? I'm begging you, okay?""I'm just worried about you. I wanna make it up to you in my own way." Queenie dropped her gaze, her tone unusually humble. "I know I've done so many things wrong, but I really don't wanna give up on you just like that. I love you. You're the love of my life. It was true in the past, and it will stay true in the future.""Love?" Evan let out a bitter laugh. "Your so-called love isn't something I can bear. I just wanna live my own life, Queenie. Please stop showing up and messing with it. You say you love me, right? Well, I don't love you anymore.

"Joel… Don't do this. Don't make it any worse." Queenie forced the words out, her voice shaking. "Please, let Evan go.""Even now, you're still defending him? Do you love him that much? Fine, then. I'll send him straight to hell. You can keep each other company on the way down." Joel snatched the gun off the floor and aimed it at Evan.That was when the cops burst in and tackled him to the floor. "Freeze! Drop it!""Let me go! Let me kill Evan!" Joel yelled."I said don't move!"A gun barrel dug into Joel's forehead, and he finally calmed down. He snapped out of the haze of fury that had gripped him. When he saw Queenie lying in a pool of blood, the realization of what he'd just done hit him.He'd pulled the trigger and killed her."How did this happen? I didn't mean to." He shook his head over and over, tears running down his face. "Let me go, please. I swear I didn't mean to do it!""Take him away." The police dragged him away.An ambulance screamed up a moment later.
