"Too many things happened during this time, which made me upset. I am struggling with the emotion. I
don't want to let you down and draw the line with her. To get rid of her, I cruelly asked sis Lily to take
you away with a fluke. Even if you would be mad about this, you would understand me. But I didn't
expect that you are so stubborn and use suicide to express your protest?"
"Enough."
Karin stops him talking, "All I want to know is that will you let me go? I don't want to hear any other
thing."
"Could you tell me the reason?" He asked back.
"I don't want to see you and that is the only reason."
"Why you don't want to see me?"
"Because you seem like a liar."
Troy bows slightly and looks down on Karin, "Look, you are the only one in my eyes forever."
"But you do not exist in my eyes anymore."
Karin announces without any emotion.
"You hate me like that just because I had a wedding with Mia?"
"If I am cheated for the first time ‘cause I am naive; for the second time, I am ignorant; But for the third
time, I must be stupid! And I don't want to be a stupid woman!"
"The real cheat means that my heart loves with another woman or I have sex with her. You insist I am
liar, do my heart and body betray you?"
"It's unnecessary to excuse for your lies. When you walked through the place where you proposed to
me with another woman, you should know we are done."
"I won't let you go!" Troy growls.
"Then you will only have a body without heart." Karin argues back.
On the tenth day, Karin is discharged from hospital. Just like last time, she is brought back to Ziteng
Garden and monitored by six bodyguards employed by Troy. The only aim is to let her stay.
Troy always uses this overbearing way to let her stay, but ignore that she can't compromise every time
just like she can't believe in him every time.
The wound on the wrist gradually healed, but unfortunately it leaves an ugly scar. She is sitting in the
garden in the sunny afternoon, weaving a bracelet for herself with gold thread, and when she brings it
up, she says softly, "I'm sorry."
This "sorry" is for herself because she bears too much for other people.
She learns to be a bad woman and tortures Troy.
Troy arrives at Ziteng Garden at six o'clock every day. That evening, Karin hides herself in a storage
room. When Yuma can't find her anywhere, she thinks that Karin might escape.
Suddenly, everyone in the Ziteng Garden is nervous. The guards are shocked because they are
sticking to their place and how can Karin escape?
They search in six routes. When Troy comes back, he sees no one outside the door, and walks to the
living room with a cold face and asks, "Where are the bodyguards outside?"
Yuma whispers, "Miss Karin is...gone..."
"Gone?" Troy becomes angry, "What does ‘gone' mean?"
"I don't know because Miss Karin was there in the afternoon. I asked her to have dinner and found she
is gone..."
"Is her luggage still here?"
"They are gone too."
The truth is the luggage is also kept in the storage room.
"Shit!" Troy curses. He takes the car key and goes out to look for Karin. This search takes more than
three hours. Troy also calls Robert to search the whole city. But they get nothing. She seems to have
evaporated.
Eleven o'clock at night, everyone goes back to Ziteng Garden. Seeing those upset men, Troy shouts,
"Are you all guys are dub? You even can't guard her! Keep searching, or you will be fired if you can't
find her."
Even though she is hiding in the storage room, she can hear his furious voice, and Karin smiles coldly.
"I'm here."
She swaggers out, raises her chin and looks at Troy with a surprised look.
"Honey Karin..."
Troy rushes up and cuddles her, "Where were you? You scared me."
Feeling him trembling, she unexpectedly feels a kind of revenge-like pleasure.
"I didn't go anywhere. I just hid myself in order to let you be prepared psychologically, because one day
in the future, I will definitely leave you like this, silently."
Troy is shocked and grabs Karin's hand angrily to upstairs.
He closes the door and asks in a depressed mood, "You really want to leave?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to leave me, and give up our relationship?"
She sneered, "You can do that, and so can I."
"If I wanted, I would not let you hate me so much. I was afraid that you would leave if you didn't
understand, so I will dismiss you."
"You took me away, so I should understand now?"
Karin sneered again, "If you didn't want to give up on me, you wouldn't have let go of my hand at the
critical time. You would've have abandoned me when it was critical..."
"I didn't give up on you! Why can't you understand? I just want to clear the stumbling block in our
relationship! I just want to love you without any worries in the future."
"Be cruel to your beloved, but be kind to those who want to hurt you. Is this what you said love me?"
"At that time I didn't know that Mia personally planned the car accident, and no one would have thought
that she would do something to hurt herself!"
"What about the Kloster Fraumunster? Why was the wedding held there? Have you forgotten that you
proposed to me there? Have you forgotten that was my dream?"
"I have never forgotten, because your dream was also Mia's wish, that was why I took you away, just
for fear that you would be sad if you saw it."
"Well, in order to fulfill Mia's wish, you shattered my dream. Shouldn't we finish our relationship?"
Troy rubs his forehead, "Honey Karin don't you be so serious, okay? Sometimes love also needs
proper compromise. You really make me tired by doing this."
"If you feel tired, then let me go, because you are not the only tired person! If love is not serious, then
tell me, what needs to be serious? It is because you are not serious that we have come to where we
are today!"
"Do you want to leave like this?"
Troy shouts out.
"Yes! I just want to go, I want to go, how many times should I say it? You promised it yourself. If your
plan failed, you would let me go. Can you keep your word once?"
Troy becomes silence. He turns around for a long time. He turns back with misty eyes and says in a
hoarse voice, "Fine. If you want to leave, you can go now."
"You said that."
She turns around resolutely and leaves without looking back.
There is a loud noise behind her, and the crackling fragments fall on the ground, just like her
heartbreaking sound at the beginning.
Standing at the staircase, Yuma clearly hears the quarrel from upstairs. She tries to pull Karin back
when Karin passes her, but Karin just breaks free.
Carrying her luggage, Karin walks forward step by step. The bodyguards outside the door are still
there. They stop her. She is about to speak, and Troy's voice comes from the open window upstairs,
"Let her go."
"Mr. Troy..."
The men can't believe what just happened and stand still.
"I said let her go, can't you understand?" Troy roars.
"Yes sir."
Karin doesn't look back. She swears that she will not give him any chance to hurt her.
Watching her disappearing back view, Troy knows that Karin finally leaves him. He slowly loosens his
clenched fists and blood flows over his finger tip.
Love just like sand. The harder you grab them, the more you lose them.
Now he loosens his hand. Because he has nothing to lose…
