The Love that Never Really Dies

Sasha: It’s nothing much. Just wanted to let you know that Shanae’s scheme did not turn out well. Sebastian managed to scare Old Mr. Woods. And of course, Devin is not willing to marry Shanae as well.

The last sentence was the crucial one.

Sabrina, who was on the other end of the phone, went silent for a couple of minutes after receiving the message.

Sabrina: This has nothing to do with me anymore.

Sasha: Actually, you can tell him about that night. It doesn’t matter whether the both of you will end up together or not. I think there are some things that you still need to fight for it. How will you know how he actually feels if you aren’t honest with him?

Sabrina: Then why did you run away back then with your two children to a foreign country without even telling Sebastian?

Sasha fell silent as Sabrina had poked her sore spot.

However, she understood that both of them were similar in the sense that they were not willing to rub salt on their own wound when they were already in a miserable state. They would rather leave with dignity.

Hence, Sasha did not pressure Sabrina further.

Nonetheless, the former still gave the latter a word of assurance. Even though Sabrina would not be marrying Devin, there was no way Shanae would be part of the Jadesons with Sasha around.
