Ang mas malala pa ay nakita niya itong may suot na singsing kaya naisipan niya itong takasan, walang kaalam-alam na ipapahanap na pala siya ng lalaki. Sa muli nilang pagkikita at sa hindi inaasahang pagbubuntis ni Sloane, may mabubuo pa kayang mas malalim sa kanila sa pagtira nila sa iisang bubong o patuloy pa rin silang babalikan ng mga tiwala na nasira mula sa mga taong hindi nila inaasahan? Paano kung ang taong hinahanap nila ay ang isa't isa?

"It hurts…" Joanna Horton clutched her swollen belly in agony, a deep, wrenching pain twisting through her that words couldn't describe. Terror filled her voice as she cried out, "It hurts so bad… Theo… please, save our baby…" But outside, there was only silence—except for the soft, steady sounds of prayers and chanting from the next room. That was where her monk husband, Theo Brook, was, praying for the soul of his long-dead first love. Ever since Sharon Cooper jumped off that building, Theo had been grief-stricken. He left everything behind and became a monk, never missing a single night of chanting for her. People said he had the heart of a saint, that he was devoted and had never stopped loving her. But they didn't know that just on the other side of that wall was Joanna—his lawfully wedded wife, the one he had once married in a grand ceremony.

Another sharp wave of pain hit, and suddenly, a rush of blood spilled from between her legs. The baby inside her stopped moving. She knew then—her child was gone.
