"I've arranged a new place. I'll let Serena stay here for now. She behaves well and won't disturb you, let alone replace you." "
In Harbor City, no one can take my place.
Not even Samuel."
I ignored them and flew to the airport alone, carrying the urn of ashes.
When the plane left Harbor City, I armed the bomb at the villa.
Gazing at the familiar land below, I whispered:
"Samuel, you promised..."
"If you betray me, you will not die well."
You cannot escape that.
I'll make sure you achieve it.

At the villa, Samuel, about to make love for Serena Rowe, received a call from Dr. Lawson.
The doctor's tone was sharp and reproachful.
"Mr. Westbrook, Sophia has suffered so much with you over the years. How could you not be there when she had a car accident and miscarriage?"
"You've already hurt her once. If she learned the truth of that year... I fear she would never forgive you." "Car accident? Miscarriage?" Those unfamiliar words tugged at Samuel's memory of Sophia's pale face that day. He glanced at the way Sophia had left, uneasy. Before he could ask more, an explosion boomed across the land.
