Tears running out of her eyes, Milan feels confused when she watches her brother leaves in despair. Is she wrong?â
Sitting in the booth of the night club, Troy tries to drown his sorrow in the wine. Two beautiful strippers sit on both sides of him, sexually pleasing him, but he ignores them as heâs disappointed that heâs set up by his sister and brother-in-law. Fucking family...
What makes him more disappointed is that his sister would rather choose her fucking husband than choose him.
Even worse, heâs put on edge every time he thinks of that Karin has spent a night with another man in the hotel, and they might have slept together.
The beautiful strippers lean against his chest and he growls, âGet the fucking off!â
But they still press themselves against his body, and he furiously grabs a wine bottle and smashes it in the wall, which finally scares the strippers away...
Drunk as he is, he feels rational enough to regret that he has scared the strippers away. If he sleeps with them together, he and Karin will be even.
And he can forgive her...
Karin sits alone in the swing chair in the evening. She has got used to spending the whole night with the moon.
She has been waiting for Troy for almost half a month.
âHello?â Here comes a strangerâs voice.
She jumps off the swing chair and goes to open the door. âHello.â
âHello. Iâm a designated driver. This gentleman gets drunk and tells me to drive him here.â
Karinâs heart stutters and finds Troy sleeping in the car. Her tears well up as she watches his face.
âThanks. Please help me get him in the house.â
Then they take Troy to the bedroom.
Yuma also comes to see him and asks, âDoes he need some soup to sober up?â
âGive him some honey water.â
âOkay.â
Karin rinses a towel to wash his face and says, âIâve been waiting for you for days, but now you show up as a drunkard. Perhaps youâll regret when you wake up tomorrow morning.â
âHere comes the honey water.â
Karin points to the table. âJust place it on the table. He canât drink it until he wakes up.â
âThen Iâll leave you here. Call me if you need anything.â
âOkay.â
In the dimmed light, Karin lies beside Troy and murmurs her love for him.
Much as she says, sleeping Troy can hear nothing. Then she holds his palm in her hand and writes down three words: âIâLOVEâYOUâ.
Here comes the next morning, and she dresses herself up to wait for Troyâs waking up. She didnât fall asleep last night as she was afraid that sheâd have a nightmare.
Troy finally opens his eyes and rubs his forehead. Heâs a bit dumbfounded when his eyes meet Karinâs, but soon enough, his face darkens again.
Getting out of the covers, he opens his wardrobe and picks up a suit to wear. Then he goes into the bathroom to get wash his face before leaving for work. He stays silent in the whole process. When heâs about to step out of the house, Karin canât help herself but to ask, âDoes it hurt so much?â
Troy stumbles a bit without any words.
Karin walks up to him and says calmly, âI donât want to see you get your sorrow drowned in the wine every day. Just let it go, and we can be back to the square one where we donât remember each other anymore.â
Troy levels her with a hard look and snorts, âBack to the square one? Isnât it so easy for you?â
âThen tell me what to do? Tell me what I can do for you so that you donât have to indulge yourself in endless sorrow.â
âIf I abandon you, will you live a better life than now?â
âNo, but thatâs all right as long as you live a happier life.â
Troy laughs at her wryly and turns around, looking into her eyes. âDonât you ever think Iâll be happier if I give up on you?â
âThen donât do it, and find out the truth. Learn to trust me.â
âHow naïve you are! Iâve found out the truth.â
âWhat?â
Karin grabs him by the arm with shock. âHave you? Who did it? The one that set me up.â
âBut what I want to know is what happened between you and William at that night?â
Facing his scorching gaze, she tries to prove that sheâs innocent, but when she thinks about Williamâs silence on the sea shores, she backs off a bit.
âWhat? You have no ideas? Or you donât dare to tell me the truth?â
âNo. I donât think we can do anything as we both passed out.â
Afraid to meet his eyes, Karin gives him a fallacious explanation. Sheâs always a bad liar.
Yumaâs right. Close as a couple can be, they canât share all their secrets together.
She canât trust William, and she canât make it complicated, either.
âReally? Why did he leave Zurich?â
âDid he leave here?â Karin is shocked.
âYou donât know?â
âOf course not.â
âI donât trust him. But Iâm sure he wouldnât have run away if he hadnât done anything wrong.â
Karinâs heart is clenched as she slowly let go of Troyâs arm. âSo, what really upsets you is that he has touched my body?â
âYes.â
âOkay, Iâve got it. I admit it that I canât prove my innocence now. So itâs up to you whether to give up on me or not.â
Karin turns around as she presses her lips together to smother her weep. Sheâs almost killed by the sadness and disappointment. No matter what kind of choice he makes, she has done her best save their love.
Silence spills between them before she hears his footsteps.

âWeâll have the wedding as planned.â
Then he kisses her on the forehead, representing his forgiveness. For some reason, his kiss feels cold.
