Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Richard shouted desperately, "Where's Claire? Why isn't Claire here?"

I yearned to embrace him and tell him that I was dead and that even my charred remains had been consumed by fire. Nothing was left.

"Keep your cool, mate. Maybe Claire's just not here, yeah?"

Ronald's attempt to soothe Richard only fueled his agitation: "So, Kate lied to save her life?"

Ronald nodded. "It's a strong possibility!"

Richard refused to believe it since he had harbored thoughts of killing Kate. She wouldn't dare lie in such a situation.

His gaze swept over the low table around him, finally resting on my bracelet.

With an excitement akin to discovering a new world, he dashed over, his rain-soaked hands trembling as he clutched my bracelet. "Claire's bracelet. Mr. Collins, Claire was here. This bracelet is from her parents, her most prized possession. She'd never take it off. Something must've happened to Claire."

Ronald immediately ordered the cabin to be cordoned off with police tape. Remembering the other charred cabin and its hidden cellar, he commanded, "Check for any cellars hiding something!"

After issuing the orders, he handcuffed Richard. "I will help you find Claire, but you need to tell me where Kate is now."
