Cassandra POV
From being a detective, I now become a nanny.
I brought Lucy’s car to the vacant area near Kent’s apartment. He gave me ten dollars for my food and drinks.
I was eating a pizza while checking my watch. It’s eight in the morning but Lucy hasn’t come out yet. I am worried about them since they both spent the night together. What if people will saw them? What if Eloisa and Gale will notice that both of them didn’t come home? It’s a disaster if they will get caught.

Kent and Lucy made a quick breakfast.
Kent confessed and apologized to Lucy. He told her the truth about why he can’t say no to Eloisa and he also told me that she fake their marriage contract.
” What? Is that true?”, Lucy looks surprised after chewing the last bite of bacon on her mouth.
“Yeah. I just found out when I decided to file a divorce.” He told her.
Lucy coughed after hearing the word divorce.
“What? Why? Did you two fight? You just told me that your dad had a huge debt that’s why you can’t leave her!”, she asked him.
Kent took a deep breath. He’s now ready to tell her about Eloisa and Gale’s hidden affair from them.
” I saw Gale and Eloisa went inside the hotel yesterday that is how we met inside the bar.” He confessed.
Lucy knew he will tell her already. She plans to lure Kent to their meeting place to capture their cheating thing. She acted sorry for him and she went mad over Gale.
“How dare they lied to us? I know before why Gale treated me so cold. He’s always busy and going home late. To think that he was Eloisa’s lover, I feel like hell.” She said while trying to let go of her tears.
Kent felt mad inside. He can’t accept the fact that Lucy had feelings for his stepbrother Gale. Besides, she’s married to him so there’s no point to get her back unless she will file a divorce too.
Kent remembered her going to prison so he asked her what happened that time.
” I heard that you went to prison for five years. Tell me who file a case for you? I’m sorry for leaving you alone!”, Kent said feeling guilty for what he did.
Lucy tried to calm herself. To think about her past seems like a nightmare. She can’t believe that he’s the one who put her in prison. She was confused about Kent’s question. She chuckled.
“You can’t remember what you did? You’re the one who told the police that I steal the money you both gave me for me to start a new life. How can I start when you’re the one who ruined it!”, Lucy’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Kent had no idea what was Lucy told him. He’s naive to her accusations to him. He didn’t know about it.
” How can I report you when I transferred that money to your account to help you,” Kent said depending on himself.
Lucy’s head spinning whom to believe.
“So who reported me, Eloisa? Just tell me the truth Kent. You know what, both of you did a terrible thing to me for the second time.” She added.
Kent’s head throbs too. He was thinking about how Eloisa manipulated the people around him.
“Tell me. I’m willing to listen.” He replied.
Lucy started to cry. She can’t hold her tears falling down her face anymore. She took a tissue to wipe it.
“You and Eloisa fake the adoption paper! I just found out when you went to the states and brought Austin. I went back to the mansion to take him back but it’s too late. You told me to take care of us but how can you go with her and take our son away from me?”, she burst out in tears.
Kent stood up to comfort her.
” I don’t know about it. Eloisa told me that she will take care of the adaptation papers so I trusted her. I’m sorry for what happened. I promise to put everything to normal.” He pledged to her while he caresses her back.
Lucy just keeps crying. It’s hard for her to think about it again.
Kent cupped her face to meet his eyes. He has a plan and he wants her to help him.
“Did Gale knew you’re my ex-girlfriend and we had a son?”, he asked her.
Lucy nods her head.
” Okay. I love you and if you love me, file a divorce, and I will take Austin to you. We can leave the country as soon as possible. Are you willing to do that?”, he wanted to know if Lucy accepts it.
She looks worried and scared. Her face turned to pale and her body froze. Kent notices it. He holds and pressed her hands.
“Why? You look like you see a ghost!”, Kent said.
Lucy recalled what’s written in the contract between her and Gale.
The tenth rule which punishment to thee traitors.”
