The noise from the entrance hall caught the attention of the woman sitting on the sofa, interrupting her from devouring the apple in her hand. She turned to see who it was. It was on old friend of hers.
With a smile, she called out his name.
Andy.
Andy was rendered speechless. He stood there, unmoving, as he gazed at Rachel.
Rachel knew that Ivans excuse was a lie. Sending someone over was not his only intention. The truth was that he had asked his men to tail her. She was a smart woman.

There were a lot of things that he wanted to ask but the moment his eyes fell onto Rachels face, the words seemed to have gotten stuck in his throat.
Im so glad that youre alive.
Before her arrival, Rachel wondered about how Andy would react the moment he saw her. She had assumed that he would ask her why she had to fake her death.
She also thought that he would walk out in anger. There were a lot of things in her mind but none of them included him saying those words.

His words meant well but somehow, they felt like thorns digging into her heart. It made Rachel feel guiltier.
Suddenly, realization hit her. Those four, long years had been hard for Andy. Her death devasted him. He couldnt have forgotten about it so easily.
