" Ex Seryna's mom , Jennett Stratton , standing at the doorway , did nothing to stop him . She cried sorrowfully . " Rashad , we shouldn't have taken Seryna back . It's all her fault ! That's why Tila jumped into the sea to commit suicide ! The seawater was so cold ! Break Seryna's hands and legs , and see if she ever dares lay a hand on Tila again !

We've punished her ." Jeremiah chimed in , " Yeah . I broke her arms and legs . She's too broken to hurt you now . " Tehila turned to look at him , voice soft and coy . " You've always loved me . Thank you ." She nestled happily into Jennett's arms " Mom , I know you love me the most , don't you ? I'm truly sorry . I don't wanna make things hard for Seryna . When she comes back , I'll make sure we get along . I wanna go to the hospital and apologize to her . " " You didn't do anything wrong . There's no need to apologize .

But she hasn't learned her lesson , huh ? " Tehila sobbed with guilt , " Mom , I'm sorry . I acted out and made things hard for you guys . When I thought Seryna was trying to take Bruno from me , I panicked . I was scared she'd steal the man I loved . I'm so sorry . I didn't know things would go this far. " As she cried , the whole family began to comfort her in hushed tones . No one mentioned Seryna again , as if she had never existed in this world .
