to believe that the child she carried was his. He persuaded her over and over again to abort it. She
must have been frightened back then. She must have hoped fervently that I would trust her, that I
would protect her and our child.
But I was a b*stard. I never epted that child as my own. Even after I conceded for Vivian’s sake, I
never loved the child. That was his biological child, his firstborn. Yet, Finnick had abhorred the innocent
child, loathing that the child had lived.
Afterward, his prayers came true—the child ceased to exist before it had the chance to see the world.
Finnick would never know how that unborn child would grow up to look like. He wondered if it was a
boy or a girl.
Finally, Vivian was disappointed in him. She left him and the country altogether, heading to a foreign
country to start afresh.
When she came back yearster, she was no longer the Vivian William he knew. The woman who
returned was Vivian Morrison. Gone was the gentle, sweet woman, and in her ce was a stranger
who regarded him with indifference.
It is what it is. Finnick chuckled ruefully. I was the one who drove her away from me. It was me; it has
always been me!
He recalled an incident where he reproached her because of Fabian. “A trick to seduce men,” he had
Did I let my eyes blind my judgement? Was that yet another incident where I let my assumptions
overshadow the truth? Is that why she was so enraged?
Finnick wished he could punch himself in the face. I am an a**hole, the scum of the earth!

He leveled a stare at Evelyn, his eyes so cold that it turned her blood to frost. “I’ll ask you onest time
—what exactly happened? Think it through before you reply. This is yourst chance to redeem
yourself.”
When Evelyn noticed the rage zing in Finnick’s eyes, she finally came to terms that nothing she said
would save her. Finnick had lost all faith in her. He would only detest her more if she continued to deny
it.
“Yes, I did all of it,” she broke down and admitted. Tears streamed down her face as she wept in
anguish. “But I did it all for you, Finnick. It’s because I love you so much. I was so scared that I would
lose you that I resorted to such petty methods. Can you forgive me this once?”
“Love me?” Finnick repeated cynically. “How dare you im to love me!”
“There’s nothing I don’t dare to say! I love you, and that’s the truth. I’ve only ever loved you for all these
years.” Evelyn’s eyes were crazed as she rasped, “I knew you first, and I loved you first! What right
does Vivian have to be with you? How is she better than me? Nothing about her is worthy of being with
you!”
“Even if that were true, you shouldn’t have done something so horrendous. Are you even the Evelyn I
know? Since when you became this vile?” Disappointment seeped through his fierce tone.
Fear gripped Evelyn’s throat when she heard Finnick’s harsh description of her.
She could not let Finnick view her as conniving. Her life would be over once she wasbeled as such.
“That’s not true! Finnick, you can’t say that about me. I’m not a horrible person; I was just overwhelmed
by jealousy. I know now that what I did was wrong. Please forgive me, won’t you?” Evelyn reached out
to grasp Finnick’s hand, but he flung her outstretched hand away.
“Finnick, I can’t live without you. I’m nothing without you. I’ve already lost my legs; I can’t lose you as
well.”
“Finnick, you are the reason I can’t walk now! You can’t abandon me! You promised me. You swore that
you would be by my side forever. You can’t go back on your words so easily!”
Obstinate as she was, she made another attempt to sway Finnick, tugging on his arm as she
beseeched him to give her another chance.
Fueled with contempt for Evelyn, Finnick pried his arm of her death grip. Perhaps the Evelyn he knew
had died. He could not recognize the woman before him, and he had no intention to know her.
