In the dimmed street light, Karin walks down the mountain with her luggage.
When she gets to the University of Zurich, Billie stares at her luggage, asking, âWhatâs the heck are you doing?â
Stepping into her dorm, Karin sits on the perch of her bed without any word.
âWhatâs the matter? Havenât you forgiven Troy?â
âIâm leaving tomorrow.â
âWhere are you going?â
âAnywhere.â
Billie widens her eyes. âAre you insane?â
âWhat?â
âWhat if you get bullied by bad guys in some strange place?â
âIâm a grown-up, and I can take care of myself.â
âThen leave for home.â
Karin shakes her head. âI canât.â
âWhat about Williamâs?â
âNo.â
âCome on. Iâm sure William would like to take you away with him.â
âBut I donât. After all, weâre not lovers.â
âThen why did you turn to him last time?â
âThat was an emergency, okay? Now itâs different, as Iâll leave here on my own.â
Karin rises to her feet and walks to her desk. Starting her computer, she finds a map of China on the Internet. With her eyes closed, she clicks a place at random.
After she purchases a flight ticket online, Billie asks, âAre you sure you want this? Nothing to change your mind?â
She nods with a sigh.
âI donât think Troy will let go of you.â
Karin doesnât answer her. Billie swivels and secretly creeps out of the dorm.
âStop!â
Karin shouts, âYou donât have to inform him. He agreed that I left here.â
âWhat? How could he do it?â
âWhy not?â
Billie snaps, âBecause he should make up for your loss of youth caused by him.â
âNonsense! Love canât be measured in money. What we had was a love instead of a trade.â
Knock, knock...
Their conversation is interrupted by the annoying knock. Billie angrily says, âCome in!â
But her attitude instantly changes as she sees the man. âRobert, what are you doing here?â
âIâm here for Miss Karin.â
He shifts his eyes to Karin. âI guess you must be here.â
âDoes Troy regret and tell you to bring her back?â
Billie asks with her charmingly bright smile.
âNo.â He takes out two golden VIP bank card and says, âMr. Troy told me to give you these.â
âWhat are they?â
âVIP bank cards.â
Billie is dumfounded before sighing. âSomeone told me that love canât be measured by money, but obviously, Mr. Troy doesnât think so.â
Karin coldly turns around and gently says, âThanks, but I donât need them.â
âTake it easy. Mr. Troy just wants Miss Karin to live a better life.â
âAnd I just donât need them. Thank you.â
Billie takes the cards for Karin. âKarin deserves them.â
âBillie!â
âYou have broken up with him, havenât you? Just take his money away, and youâre done.â
âGive them back.â
âYou...â
âIâm telling you to give them back.â
Karinâs anger scares Billie to give the cards back to Robert. âHere you are. She doesnât need them.â
âMiss Karin, donât give it a twice-thinking?â
âJust save it. Youâre disgracing her holy love. Sheâll punch you in the face if you insist.â
Robert sighs, âFine. Iâll bring them back to my boss.â
After he left, Billie pokes Karinâs forehead with her index finger. âYou pretty little idiot! You canât be too stupid.â
âHoly crap! Go to face the wall for ten minutes. Think about whoâs the real idiot.â
âWhy? Iâve done nothing to wrong.â
âReally? Donât you love Robert?â
âYes.â
âAnd you want me to accept Troyâs money to show Robert that, in the future, he can also do the same to you when he wants to get rid of you?â
Billie gets dumbfounded. âWhat do you mean?â
âThink about it. What did you say in Robertâs face? Heâd wrong your intension and thought you might regard love as a material trade. If so, he wouldnât love you or treasure your love.â
âWhat should I do to correct it?â
She finally realizes that Karin is right. Lowering her head in disappointment, Billie wishes she could slap herself.
âBillie, I know who you are, but not everyone can see you through like I do. I know that, in the back of your mind, love as an irreplaceable feeling, but your sharp mouth may mislead others...â
âItâs because the world is too hypocrisy that I have to arm myself with lies.â
âNo. Itâs because we are so naïve as to think love means all-in in a way that what we obtain will be a perfect love. Never will we understand the so-
called perfect love is merely in fairytales until weâve got nasty scars all over ourselves.
Tonight, they sleep together and chat until the daybreak.
âKarin, are you sure to leave?â
Billie asks again before Karin leaves.
âYes.â
âIâll drive you to the airport.â
âNo, thanks. You have to prepare for your interview.â
After a warm hug, Karin pats Billie on the shoulder. âHope you and Robert can have a happy ending.â
Then she left with red eyes.
Sheâs got an hour before boarding when she arrives at the airport. With a broken heart, she sits on the bench in the waiting hall. Suddenly, the news on the screen above her head attracts her attention.
âThe murderer attacked the heir of the Charles family three months ago stood trail yesterday. Heâs from Yunnan, China, at the age of twenty-one. He publicly surrendered himself to justice in the Kloster Fraumunster a week ago, disclosing an unknown truth...â
There comes the video clip of Troyâs wedding ceremony where the priest was congratulating the newlyweds, then a young man broke in and pointed at the bride, yelling, âSheâs a liar, and the wedding is a swindle.â
âJacob...â
Karin was dumbfounded as she canât believe what she sees.
But the news is as true as it can be. The young man is Jacob.
Sheâs been stuck in the swirl of the pain caused by Troyâs lies, not caring about what happened at the wedding ceremony. All she knows is that the ceremony was ruined, but never will she think it was Jacob who ruined it...
âHow could it be Jacob? Why was he?â
She covered her mouth with her hands as her mind was a mess. How could a man who called her sister was a murderer? Why?
Now all she wants is to meet him, and to ask him in the face that whatâs wrong with him?
She hastily rushes to the prison, and meets Jacob in the name of his sister.
She meets him after a month, but she almost canât recognize him. With sunken eyes, heâs thinner and darker in a big and loose prison uniform.
âAre you Jacob?â
She asks in a shivering tone.
With tears in his eyes, the young man across from her slowly raises his head and answers huskily, âYes, sis.â
Karinâs heart stutters as she hears his familiar voice. Her tears trickle down her cheeks. âWere you the one that hit Troy three months ago?â
How she wishes heâd say âNoâ, but he says, âYes.â
âWhy? Why did you have to do this?â
âFor money. Guys like me can do anything for money.â

âYes, I was, because of the car accident three months ago. I got drunk that night and hit Mia, so my boss said I disgraced our gang. He punished me before kicking me out of our gang.â
âAnd you left me without a goodbye after seeing the picture of Troy?â
âYes. When I saw your boyfriend was the man that hurt me before, I was guiltily upset and scared, so I left secretly. Ever since that, Iâve been stuck in the endless pain. Iâve been watching over you, Troy and Mia, knowing that they would get married, which upset you. After deliberating for three days and nights, I finally made up my mind to speak out the truth. I purposely threatened Mia for money to record her words with my recording pen. If I didnât do it that way, nobody would believe me. All I knew was to repay your goodness. I was meant to rot in hell, but you deserve happiness, and Iâm willing to do anything to make it happen...â
