Chapter 10
Darren paused in his pacing, and turned to them with clenched teeth.
“What about it?” He gritted, his eyes flashing black. His wolf was on the surface, they had to be quick or he could attack them.
“She wasn’t killed by an overdose, her medication was tampered with.” The head nurse hurriedly spoke up, trembling slightly.
Darren furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “What?”
The head nurse gulped. “When her death was announced, we ran some tests on her body and the drugs, and they all showed that it was an overdose. However, what we didn’t know was that someone exchanged the results. We found the original results yesterday, and it turned out that pure moonfire was added into her medicine, so that overtime, she would get sicker and eventually die.”
The room was silent for a minute, as they processed her words.
Darren slumped in defeat, with an emotionless look on his face.
Oh Darren, now you see that I was innocent. I never did what you thought I did. Tamara fed you lies, and you believed her blindly.

After the task force was done combing through the house for any evidence, they left and sealed off the place. However, Darren came back.
He dragged himself through the house that he had not been back to in three months. He looked around for anything that might help him understand what had happened. He glanced at the picture frames that hung on the wall, and he reached out and removed a frame.
It was my favourite picture, I thought to myself with a bittersweet smile.
In the picture, he had his arm around me, with a warm and happy smile on his face. This was when he loved me, but immediately Tamara came back to his life four months ago, he started becoming distant, and when his mother died a month after, he hated me passionately.
His hand shook as he held the picture and gently touched my face on the picture with his fingertips. His eyebrows furrowed as he turned the frame, and found another picture folded behind it. It was the black–and–white ultrasound picture of our unborn child. He picked up the picture, and stared at it with unshed tears in his eyes.
This was our child. The child he had always wanted.
I wondered if he remembered how he tossed the doll with our unborn baby inside, carelessly. Even though the killer had told him the clue was in the doll, his hatred for me blinded him. He thought it was just a prank I was playing to get his attention.
If not for Sean’s determination and persistence, they wouldn’t have found the baby’s body.
As Darren stared at the ultrasound picture and my picture on the frame, tears ran down his face, and he began to sob. His gut wrenching sob tugged at my heart. It hurt to see him in pain. I
could imagine what he was going through.

Someone had murdered his mother, and had framed me for it, and he had hated me, and now the same person had killed me.
I remembered how many times I had tried to tell him that I never gave his mother an overdose. I never had an evil intention against his mother, but all of it was pointless since he chose to not believe me.
He chose to believe that I had caused his mother’s death.
He had wished me death.
Now I was dead.
He said I did not deserve to have his baby.
Now the baby was also dead.
Shouldn’t he be happy? I thought bitterly to myself.
