Ice and Fire

Suddenly, the room seemed to be very strange to her. Cherry felt that it was full of secrets that she didn't have a clue about, and wondered, 'Can it be true that I'm no longer the mistress of this house? Has everything changed in the passed five years?'

An idea then suddenly came into her mind, and she wanted to discover the unrevealed details hidden in her former home.

Cherry started to rummage around in the study. She removed all the books off the self and carefully searched through them.

After two hours of searching, Cherry had almost looked through every nook and cranny of the study, but had found nothing besides the receipt.

After Cherry pondered for a while, she walked out of the study and went into the bedroom. This was the most familiar room to her, and she thought that she couldn't possibly find something there, or could she?

Cherry began to search through the wardrobe and the dresser, and although she believed that she couldn't find something there, she still couldn't overlook it.

She eventually gave up searching after she found nothing suspicious there, and then sat down on the bed and started to think about the receipt. Why had Jackson transferred so much money to Sally?

Cherry's eyes then suddenly shifted to the picture on the bedside table. It was her wedding picture with Jackson.

Cherry picked it up and closely looked at it, and felt bitter inside.

'Jackson, you told me that you will love me with all your life, and you told me that the most important thing is to be honest with one another, but why do you still keep things about you and Sally hidden away from me? Is it because you want to protect her? Or that you're still in love with her?'
