Nevin POV:

As I finished my call with nick, I walked toward my house and saw Hunter from a distance as he walked out angrily of my house.

When I went into my house, I saw My Miracle sitting on the kitchen island stool with a confused face. When she saw me, she smiled at me and lifted her hands up in a grabby way.

I laughed at her and walked toward her. She pulled me to hug her as she placed her hand around my waist and placed her head on my chest as she took a deep breath.

"Are you OK?" I asked her, because I could feel that they had fought with each other 'again'. I rubbed her back with my hand to comfort her.

"Are you OK?" she asks back.

Should I tell her the truth?

Or should I tell her a lie?

I don't know what to say.

"Yeah?" I told her, more like a question.

I don't even know I am OK?

I'm holding the girl who was ready to kill my brother to take revenge for her sister's death five years ago. Just because he was the one who met Hensley before that fire accident.

Should I be afraid of her?

Should I ask her why she did that?

What if it's true?

"Loxley", I called out her name.

"Hmm..." she hummed in my chest as a response.

"Can I ask you something?"

She looks up to see me for a few seconds and she nods her head. I took her hand and took her to sit on the couch as we looked at each other. I rub her wrists as fighting myself to ask her the question.

"Is that true, you tried to kill my brother?" I asked her as I looked at her.

She looks at me with an emotional face for a few seconds and bit her bottom lip and avoids my eye contact as she thinks about what to say. Then she looks at my eyes and says "yes" lowly.

So, it's true.

"Why?" I ask because I want her to tell me a truth.

"I lost it. Nev. The moment I heard about my sister, I lost it. I don't know what I did at that time. I lost my sister... I lost my.... My everything in one night." She says as she held back her tears and tried so hard not to break her sob.

"When I got to know your brother was the last person she met, I started to remember how my sister cried all night when they broke up and when she told me how much she loved Nick. That's why I think he might be the reason for that fire. So, I took him, but I never did anything to him. We just locked him in a room to make him tell the truth to himself. Since we have no evidence, we let him out." she said, looking at me.

"I felt guilty about making him suffer, that is why I came to meet him two years ago. Because of my face surgery, he didn't identify me. When I met Jess, she resembled my sister more. That is why I stayed there and worked with her. I still feel guilty. I promise what I did is so wrong." She said as she let her tears out. I slowly let every word she said to me. I don't know what to say.
