Chapter 28:
“Travis, how did you get my number?” Joanna directly stared at Travis who was sitting in front of her. Travis had managed to get her number and called her out for an important chat.
“I have my ways on that sort of stuff…”
“Why did you call me out then?”
“I’m Andrea’s fiancée.” He straightened up and put both his hands together on the table. Joanna’s eyes widened.
“You’re her fiancée?” She asked for a confirmation and he nodded lightly.
“I know about you and Shane and I’m not going to explain whatever questions you might or might not have running through your head. Joanna, you and I both know that our partners don’t love us.Shane has never once loved you and you know that – Andrea only loved me when she had no memory of her past. When she got it back, she knew that the one who loved wasn’t me.”Travis stated.
“What do you want from me?”
“I want you to leave Shane.” He said.
Joanna’s eyes widened again. “Why would I do what you say?”
“Because I know your deepest secrets,Joanna Sanchez – you are a murderer, a cheater and a liar.”
Joanna’s heart began racing in fear. “I don’t have any secrets. I’m not a murder, a cheater or a liar!” She shouted, getting out her chair to leave.
Travis remained calm, “If you weren’t then why are you raging? Because you know that I’m correct. Sit back down and don’t embarrass yourself.”
Joanna reluctantly sat back down.
“
What exactly do you want?”
“I want Andrea to be happy, even if it means I will suffer.”
“I refuse. Why do I want to suffer with you?”
“I am one single phone call away from calling Andrea to tell her to pass the phone to Shane.”
“Why would you want to speak to him?”
“Because that baby of yours was a creation of Ryan and your one night stand in Tokyo when Andrea and I got to Seoul.”
Joanna tensed up. “The baby was Shane’s.”
“No, you said the baby was 6 weeks old to Shane but in truth the baby was 8 weeks old.”
Joanna looked up at him, she was scared. “H-H-H-How did you know?”
“Andrea’s friend,May is a doctor and I coincidently saw her at the hospital when you had your miscarriage. Another coincidence was that she had your file on her table even though she wasn’t your doctor.”
Joanna was taken aback.
“That night was an accident, I was drunk.”
“That wasn’t the only drunken incident though was it?” Travis said as he stared at Joanna with firm eyes. She was on the verge of tears.Joanna got out her seat and dragged Travis to the male toilet so no one would hear the conversation.
“Like you said, I was drunk.”
“You were under-aged, you killed someone and you begged your uncle to take the blame for you!JOANNA SANCHEZ, YOU ARE DISGUSTING! How did you live Shane and his parents for the past 7 years knowing that YOU were the one who KILLED their precious older child?”
Joanna put her head down.
“Just give up Shane and I won’t tell anyone about this and when I say give up on him, I mean move away from here, quit your job, cancel the wedding and never see him again. You wouldn’t want him to hate your guts, right?”
Joanna looked up and nodded. She had no choice.

In Bali
I let go of Shane and took a step back. “I-I-I didn’t mean that…” I gulped before I glanced up at him.
“You meant it, Andrea. Can we catch up on 7 years of missed time?” He asked.
As much as I wanted to say yes, I couldn’t bring myself to hurt Travis.
“I’ve accepted our destiny, you should too…” I forced it out my mouth as I tried to observe his changing expression. “I’m sorry if I gave you hope but let’s just pretend that we were just drunk when all this happened and happen to remember it.”
I began walking off and down the stairs. I couldn’t hear Shane’s footsteps but I really wanted to. I wanted him to come after me to tell me that it wasn’t our destiny to not be together but he didn’t.
I took a few more steps until I heard some singing. It was Donghae singing. I walked up a few steps and sat down on the stairs to listen to him
