The Love that Never Really Dies

“Yes, I believe you. But keeping that secret with you is ultimately too dangerous.”

“What… are you trying to say?” Sasha took some time before she could squeeze past her sobbing to ask.

Frederick smiled. “What I meant is that you’ll be safer with me around. After all, Sebastian’s life cannot be at risk. This time, you were alert and prevented a crisis. What about the next time? Sasha, none of us wants to take this risk.”

The old man was finally making his intentions clear.

Sasha was stunned.

What does he mean by this? He doesn’t want to risk his son’s life, so he’s going to imprison his best friend’s daughter instead? For how long? One year? Ten years? Or is it going to be forever?

At this point in time, Sasha felt even more disappointed.

She felt lost as she looked at the man that once told her he would treat her as his own. In the end, she let the tears she held in for so long fall. “Actually, you don’t have to be so tedious about it. Just kill me. That would be the safest option.”

“What are you talking about? How could I kill you? I’ve watched you grow ever since you were young! Moreover, you are the mother to my two grandchildren. Why would I ever do that?” Frederick was furious.

Sasha showed no signs of reacting after hearing what he said.

He won’t kill me? What’s the difference between imprisoning me forever and killing me? Maybe he doesn’t want to bear the guilt.

Sasha grinned and said nothing.

Seeing that she was not going to say anything, Frederick felt a little awkward.

“Alright. I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow. You enjoy your time with the kids tonight and don’t worry. I’m not going to mistreat you. Everything will be like it was back then when you’re with me.”

Silence ensued.

Sasha finally responded, “Like how it was when I was your
