As Karry came out of the Kane
residence, Celia returned from the garage.
Their eyes met, and she held her breath.
Did he see anything?
Karry’s gaze lingered between her
and the garage. His eyes
narrowed.“Where were you?”
“Nowhere. I was just… bored, so I
wandered around,” she stammered,
waving her hands nervously. She quickly
changed the subject.“Karry, are you done
talking to Emily? It’s getting late. Let’s go
home.”
She thought of the corpse. Even
though it was damaged, she recognized it.
That was Emily. But if Emily was dead,

who was the woman she just saw? Was
there really such a thing as the dead
coming back to life in this world?
“Karry, Emily died six years ago…
who was that woman?”
Karry glanced at her, then started walking. When she caught up, he warned,” She’s not Emily Kane. She’s Evelyn, the adopted daughter of the Kanes. Celia,
stop your games. If anything happens to her again, the Kanes won’t let you go. Neither will I.”
Celia shook her head
frantically.“Karry, I would never…‘
Karry said nothing more and kept walking. Celia nearly stumbled, a surge of
triumph swelling within her.

Evelyn, the adopted daughter? She
wouldn’t buy that. The name, the
appearance… No coincidence could
explain this. Emily must have faked her death six years ago, and she returned
under a different name.
Why did Emily have to come back?
Why couldn’t she just stay dead? Why did she have to compete with her for Karry
again?
Whether that woman was Emily or
not, she wouldn’t let her back into Karry’s life. Emily’s death might have hurt him, but time would heal his wounds.
Eventually, she’d be the only one staying by Karry’s side, and Karry would only love
her.

Celia glanced back at the Kane
residence, a subtle smile curving her lips.
“So, Emily, go to hell. Your death ends everything.”
I refused to use my old name. My parents compromised.
“Fine. We will hold a banquet to
formally announce you as our adopted daughter. It’ll make things easier for you.”
I agreed. I couldn’t remain hidden in the house. I needed a legitimate identity.
Karry hadn’t come to Emily since that day. He was searching for a way to break
free from the control, and soon, word
came of the Kane family’s welcoming
party for their newly adopted daughter.

He received the invitation from
Emily’s parents. He hesitated for only a moment before deciding to attend.
He wanted to see her, even from afar.
