Miya wakes up in confusion and opens her eyes. Her first reaction is to struggle desperately.
“Let go of me! Quickly let go of me!”
Alex desperately grabs her hand. “Miya, open your eyes. It’s me. I’m Alex, not anyone else.”
Miya is in such a panic. He feels his heart ached. If he has known that she would suffer like this, he would use another plan. He would not let Miya take a risk. It is all his fault, and he is overcome with guilt.
“You don’t need to be afraid now. I’m with you.”
Miya opens her eyes and sees Alex. She feels an unprecedented sense of security.
She throws herself into his arms and hugs his waist tightly. “Do you know? I’m really scared. Where have you been all this time? Why are you so cold to me?”
As she speaks, Miya pounds his chest.
“Sorry, it’s all my fault. I promise that the same thing will not happen in the future.” Alex painfully closes his eyes, his tone filled with regret and heartache.
“Why did you do this to me? I was almost …” The words are replaced by crying. Richard is simply too terrifying. She thought her was good. It’s terrifying. She is almost unable to make it, and she is so scared.
“You don’t need to worry so much now. From now on, I will protect you. No matter what happens, I will stay by your side.” Alex comforts Miya gently, strokes her back with his hand, and whispers to her in her ear.
After Miya calms down, she feels that something is wrong. “I was in his house. How could I suddenly be here with you? How could I suddenly come back?”
She feels very puzzled.
“You don’t have to be afraid. I saved you.” Alex answered.
“You saved me?” Miya looks at Alex in disbelief. She remembers what has happened before. She feels a faint pain in her heart. “But I yelled at the door and begged you for so long. You have always been so cold to me. Why are you willing to save me now?”
She feels too confused, because Alex’s change is too great.
After calming down, she connects everything that has happened before. She really feels more and more confused.
Alex feels even guiltier.
“Sorry, I divorce you and leave you alone earlier. It is part of my plan. I just want to find out Richard’s true purpose and means. Then I could think of a way against him. But I kept you in the dark. I’m sorry, this will never happen again.”
Alex decides to tell Miya everything.
“In other words, you’ve been using me.” This is the conclusion Miya comes to after listening to Alex’s explanation. She doesn’t expect the man she loves to do such things. “Is that why you divorced me?”
Miya feels heartache and missing a piece inside.
Seeing Miya’s complaining eyes, Alex feels even guiltier. “I have to explain everything …”
“You want to use me against Richard.” Miya feels more agony. She doesn’t expect her beloved man to do such a thing. Perhaps she has misjudged him.
