A wave of joy overwhelmed Casey, beyond words. Years ago, she had asked a neighbor in Siren to give her child to Hector to be raised by Landen.

Landen had agreed to marry her because her father had been kind to him, and he had intended to stay single due to health reasons.

After seeing how upset Casey was, Landen chose to offer her a place to hide from Davey's grasp.

Despite being married, their relationship felt more like a supportive kinship. There was no romantic love between them, and Landen always treated Casey like family.

Back then, the neighbor had reported that the fishing boat capsized and her child, not yet three months old, had died. Casey thought her world had ended. For years, she mourned her child as dead, but now...

Calculating the timeline together, Casey realized that the son Hector was raising must be her own son!

Suddenly, Casey was filled with hope. It seemed like a miracle. Her child was still alive and well. She had to escape. It was essential!

"Davey, do you think everyone is as obsessive as you? Is this your idea of love? Can't you see what you've done? Have you forgotten you're a killer? You killed my parents! You've kept me captive! You're insane!" Casey yelled, her voice filled with anger and frustration, fed up with his deceitful ways.

She recalled the peaceful moments they had shared.

After her parents' death, Casey had placed her trust in Davey completely, convinced he was protecting her out of love, not for the wealth she was set to inherit.

Casting aside all considerations of status, she had opened her heart to him, only to later uncover his role in her parents' tragic end.

This revelation followed an incident with a one-eyed man who claimed he had done Davey a “favor” and demanded payment, only to be killed by Davey's hands.

Casey had overheard it all. The car crash that claimed her parents' Lives had been orchestrated by Davey.

Davey hated how her father disapproved of him and their relationship, so he messed with her father's car brakes and set up a crash that took both her parents’ lives. leaving Casey relying entirely on him.

At that moment, Casey was devastated. Davey, the pretender who wore the mask of a lover, disgusted her. It was disgusting! It was utterly repulsive!

She concealed her feelings, plotting to flee and find someone to apprehend this devil.

Casey vividly remembered when the one-eyed man had confronted Davey for money, threatening him, "Do you really think you can keep the daughter of the Hayes family without fearing she'll discover you killed her parents?"

Davey, with a blank expression, had choked the one-eyed man to death, and said coldly, "Who would believe the words of a one-eyed man?"

Casey hadn't realized that Davey knew she was listening. He turned around, his voice strangely cheerful. "Casey, did you catch all that?"

Even now, Casey could still recall his threatening tone. His voice haunted her, sending shivers down her spine whenever she remembered it as if pulling her into a never-ending darkness.
