No.
It wasn’t forgiveness.
Evan had simply turned all that hatred on himself.
That fight with Felix had finally forced him to see things clearly.
Felix was right.
Stella wasn’t the root of all this.
He was.
Evan didn’t even know how he ended up dialing Stella’s number.
He called three times before she finally answered.
For a while, all he could hear was her breathing.
Stella said nothing.
Evan parted his lips, but suddenly, he had no idea what to say.
At that moment, just hearing her breathe felt like enough.
She was still alive.
Still here.
What right did he have to hate her?
If he kept hating her, kept pushing her, was he really going to drive her to death for good?
How many times had Stella nearly died while she was with him?
And every time she had been pushed to the edge between life and death, he had been part of the reason.
Even this time, when she had faked her own death just to escape, he had helped drive her to it.
Aaron.
Felix.
None of them changed the truth.
The person Stella had wanted to escape most had always been him.
On Stella’s end, she listened to Evan’s breathing grow heavier.
He didn’t speak.
Neither did she.

A long time passed.
Just when she thought he was never going to say anything and was about to hang up, Evan finally spoke.
“Do you hate me?”
Stella’s fingers tightened around the phone.
Hate him?
There had been a time when she had hated him with everything she had.
But that was all in the past.
Now…
“I used to.”
Her voice was calm.
“Now…”
Now what?
Stella couldn’t even describe how she felt about Evan anymore.
Back in Harbor City, her hatred for him had once been overwhelming.
But by the time she left that city, even that hatred had been worn away.
After that, there had been no love and no hate.
Now, her heart was completely still.
Even when Evan accused her of destroying the Wright family, she could respond without the slightest trace of guilt.
How could someone who no longer loved or hated understand guilt?
Feelings.
Any kind of feeling.
They only drained a person until there was nothing left.
And Stella had no strength left to deal with anything emotional.
“I don’t know anymore,” she finally said.
Evan fell silent.
I don’t know.
Those three words made something in his chest tremble.

“But I hate you,” he said.
Stella’s expression didn’t change.
“Then hate me.”
Her voice was flat.
“If you want revenge, then all that matters between us is who wins.”
In a fight for revenge, someone would lose.
And someone would win.
The winner lived.
The loser died.
That was the only way Stella could look at what remained between her and Evan now.
When she first learned that everything surrounding her mother’s death might have been wrong, she had already
said it.
If Evan insisted on revenge, then one of them would have to die.
Only then would there finally be peace.
“Who wins?” Evan repeated.
“Yes.”
Stella’s voice remained calm.
“If you insist on settling what happened back then, then the only thing left to decide is who wins and who loses.”
As for love and hate?
Those things no longer belonged between them.
Evan fell silent again.
At the words who wins and who loses, a bitter smile slowly appeared on his lips.
