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.
