The Day Our Promise Breaks

Sena never really thought much of Dahlia; to her, Dahlia and Evelyn were pretty much the same people. Girls like them had no real background and were straight out of the slums. How could they ever be good enough for Charles?

But Dahlia turned out to be nothing like that troublemaker, Evelyn. At first, Sena treated Dahlia pretty poorly, but Dahlia was willing to stand up for Sena in a very dangerous moment. Thanks to Charles' quick save, that knife didn't touch Dahlia, but it could have been fatal.

If Dahlia hadn't pushed Sena away, it would have pierced Sena's heart.

Dahlia had saved Sena's life, but she never really used that as her leverage. She didn't expect anything in return. Even more, whenever Charles was about to punish her, Dahlia would always step in and defend her. With a comforting pat on the back, Dahlia gently urged, "Sena, be good, let's get in the car first."

Once the car door shut, Sena couldn't hold it together anymore and started sobbing uncontrollably. Through her tears, she recounted everything that had happened to Dahlia. Dahlia listened with an empathetic expression. As Sena cried, Dahlia's eyes welled up, too, showcasing the deep bond of sisterhood.

After Sena had let it all out, Dahlia handed her a wet wipe to dry her tears. "Dahlia, was I wrong?" Sena asked, feeling a pang of regret after her outburst.

"If I hadn't gotten Michael to drug Evelyn..." Sena wondered if things might have turned out differently.
