Regret Came Too Late

Andrea's eyes were red with hatred. Her fingernails tightly clawed at the ground, but they broke, leaving a trail of blood on the floor.

If she survived this, she would never forgive Grace.

Grace drove back to Liam's villa and asked all the maids whether or not Liam had returned. He hadn't.

Now, she was starting to worry. Just as she was about to call the police, she saw Liam walk through the door as if nothing had happened.

Taking a deep breath, she asked him, "Where have you been? Do you know Andrea's been looking for you everywhere? And what did you mean by that message you sent me?"

As Liam had not expected Grace to be home, both surprise and confusion flashed through his eyes. "What message?"

Grace had just taken a guess before, but perhaps it indeed was Andrea who sent the message.

"Never mind. Where have you been? Why didn't you take your phone?"

Liam was changing his shoes in the entryway, and he replied in an indifferent tone, "I went to look for Mom. I didn't want to upset you, so I didn't bring my phone. I didn't tell anyone else either."

It was common knowledge that Carmen and Grace didn't have a good relationship, and Liam didn't want Grace to worry.
