Avery never believed in fate.

Even if life wanted to stop her, she would never give in that easily.

She opened the car door then stepped into the cold winter snow without hesitation.

She ran frantically toward the airport.

There was only one ending she wanted. She was not going to let Elliot go just like that!

At the VIP waiting lounge at the airport, Elliot lifted his wrist and checked the time on his watch.

His flight was one in the afternoon. There was another hour until the plane would take off.

He stood by the giant windows and his heart felt as cold as the fluttering snowfall outside.

If there was any other way, he would never do anything to hurt Avery and the children.

Being cruel to her and the children was the same as being cruel to himself. He would be in more agony than them.

Charlie had something on Elliot and was now forcing him to marry Chelsea. He had no other choice.

If he did not act out this play, there would be no end to the torment he would have to endure
