When had Daniel arrived?

He was all she had left in the world.

No!

She couldn't lose Daniel.

She wouldn't-she couldn't!

All sense of dignity abandoned her. Rebecca crawled and stumbled to Daniel's side, clutching him in a desperate embrace. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Daniel, listen to me, let me explain! This isn't what it looks like-Anthea set me up! It was her! Everything was her fault..."

Daniel stood there like a marionette with its strings cut, eyes empty. "I saw it. I saw everything..."

He'd always believed Rebecca was sweet and innocent.

He'd even gone so far as to turn his back on his own father for her.

What did he get in return?

Nothing but endless lies.

He was the real fool.

An absolute idiot.
