~Lincoln~ I swear, if I have to watch my mate fawn over another man again, I’m going to go on a killing spree. It was the most frustrating thing in the world. Even though Tia and I have mated, we are still unmarked and watching her talk to Neal left the worst taste in my mouth.

At the back of the room, there was a space where I knew a copy of Clarissa's third mock exam scores and college entrance exam results would soon be posted. I opened my mother's latest diary entry.

After your college exams, you'll come back to me. It's been eighteen years, and I've waited for you for so long. When we're reunited, you'll see through the Gardners' hypocrisy. You'll understand what I've sacrificed for you.]

The woman truly was seeking death for wishfully thinking that she could seduce Alex just because she was a small celebrity! However, after Lily had enough fun wandering abroad several years later, she heard Emma saying that the person that Alex cared for the most at that moment was the maid by his side, Jane Sheen. When she heard that, Lily had instantly forgotten about this Miller woman. The woman that Lily wanted to deal with was naturally the woman who was a threat to herself. As for that woman named Cindy Miller, perhaps she was already dead in some cave somewhere. However, perhaps the woman who had been forgotten by Lily could be of some help to Lily sometimes.

Lily pictured him rubbing his bony hands together, a sick smile curling the corners of his waxy lips. “I do not care if you hurt me.” Her voice trembled, but she got every word out, as crisp and clear as she could manage. Lily’s heart twisted.

The day our family went on vacation to an island resort, my younger sister, Alana Fisher, climbed over a safety railing to get the perfect photo. She lost her footing and, in her panic, dragged me into the ocean with her. The rescue crew was about to pull me out first since I was closer when Mom suddenly took a yellowed paper coupon from her wallet and tossed it toward me. "Corinne, let Alana get on the rescue boat first! This is the last thing your father and I will ever ask you to grant!" When I was seven, I couldn't afford birthday presents for my parents, so I drew a hundred wish coupons by hand. Each one read: [Redeem this coupon for one wish. Corinne has to say yes, no matter what.

But now I understood that even if I waited another eight years, eighteen years, or twenty-eight years, I could never achieve that. How could I possibly move a man who loves another woman? I didn't stay any longer and returned to the private room alone. Damine knew I wasn't comfortable in this kind of situation, so after saying goodbye to everyone, he took me home.
