She thought she escaped it all when years passed and she settled in the city. A nice job, a lovely boyfriend, a small home for them... She thought she had what she needed. She almost forgot about 'him'. But then he came back in her life for his sister, and took everything away from her.

What should I do? I can't just give up on her! ----- One heart filled with resentment and another filled with remorse... What will be of them? Can his love make her resentment go away?

His Intentions

"I didn't finish my assignment... But it was the deadline and that teacher will reduce marks for tardiness. I knew I had to submit something if I have to get my scholarship... That day Emma asked me to take a printout of her assignment and I..." Jerlina took in a deep breath, rubbing her temples. Her head hurt remembering the mistake she did.

"I took two copies and...I was wrong..." she looked at Scarlett and she had no change in expression when she expected disgust. "I thought I could replace it with my own the next day, but the teacher started correcting the same day and he found out two exactly same assignments... Plagiarism is considered a crime and it would lead to immediate expulsion from the school... The matter was immediately informed to the Principal. I was up for a scholarship – I needed that scholarship..."

"So you lied even after Emma begged you to tell the truth?" Scarlett asked. At least that's what Emma said and Jerlina's story is the same.
