The Love that Never Really Dies

What happened to him?

Sasha felt more and more frightened. She stopped calling him but followed the direction of his gaze and looked at the person lying on the bed.

Finally, her pupils shrunk suddenly, when she saw a pair of familiar hands.

Those were Frieda’s hands.

This old lady, even though she was advanced in age, was hidden for many years by Frederick in a secret basement and had never done any physical work.

And so, her fingers were fine and beautiful and they looked like a little girl’s hands. Later on, each time Sasha saw them, she would be full of praise for these hands.

Sasha’s mind buzzed.

Falling and stumbling, she approached the bed and pulled back the white sheet from the person’s face with trembling hands.

“Mom…”

Desperately, she covered her mouth with her hands and huge drops of tears rolled down her cheeks, like a string of broken pearls spilling from her eyes.

It is really Frieda!

How did this happen?

She had really met her death!

However, the agent she hired had told her with certainty that it happened on the train. Why is this man guarding her now? Why?

Sasha felt as if her heart had been cut open.

After a long time, she slowly pulled down the white sheet; then, she saw clearly the gunshot wound on the woman’s chest.
