Two days later.

Andrew was seated on the bed, holding the divorce papers with his hands. He gazed intently at the signature placed on the lower part of the document. Then, he crumpled the papers and threw them away in the trash bin. He could not afford to divorce Mandy. He had a better idea!

Another day had passed.

After Mandy left the mansion, she went back to their house. She also told Charm that she would extend her vacation due to some reasons.  She wanted space. She needed time to be alone. Fortunately, their house was located in the southern suburbs, where neighborhoods were distant from each other. There were no noisy neighbors nor nosy fellows.

    As the firemen approached Andrew, he felt a hard knot constricted his throat, making it hard to breathe. He swallowed hard as the muscles in his jaw tensed. His heart skipped a beat as the firemen put down the stretcher in front of him. Andrew was speechless. He was in complete disbelief. He couldn't believe that Mandy was not able to get out of the house and got burned alive. He gazed steadily at the body in front of him. His eyebrows snapped together, and his lips compressed as he gritted his teeth. He didn’t utter a single word. He was in deep thought, but no one could guess what was on his mind. Looking at Andrew’s gloomy face, no one had the courage to speak as a chill froze them to their spot. &

He also used to see flashbacks in his mind and dream about Janeth. At first, he was confused as there's only one scene in his mind that he kept seeing. It was Janeth Collins and a girl in the park that he used to dream about in the past. He was starting to get curious until the day when he received an order to kill Mandy by burning the house where she was staying. The first time he saw the house, he had a strange feeling.

    Andrew was not able to respond. He could read the uncertainty in Mandy’s eyes. What's happening? Why did it seem that she didn't know him? Why couldn't he see any trace of emotions in her eyes? Nevertheless, he was confident that she was his wife. Although she looked more refined now, those bright round eyes with long and thick eyelashes, dainty nose, and pinkish tender lips only belonged to his wife. Five years ago, he didn't believe that Mandy was the charred body found by the firemen. His mind and heart were telling him that the corpse was not his wife. He was familiar with every inch of her body, that even if she was completely burnt he could identify her undoubtedly. Hence, he went to the mortuary to take a second look and confirm his suspicion. Mandy looked at the man

    Andrew contemplated that Mandy possibly lost her memory. That's why she couldn’t remember him. If not, she must be so mad at him the time when he appeared at her door. Moreover, she mentioned earlier that he must be part of her past. He was saddened at the thought, but he felt glad at the same time. He could approach her as though nothing bad happened between them. They could start anew. However, where would he start? He’s insisting that he was his wife, but how could he explain their past? How could he explain that he was married to Megan now? Mandy was about to speak when she heard someone called Andrew. She turned and saw a man in his late fifties. The man glanced at her as well.

Besides, you're with your father-in-law. I don't want to disturb your conversation." She said, then she looked back at the rising sun."I see," Andrew mumbled.

Then, he hurriedly checked the CCTV footage. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw
