Chapter 12
When Shawn flipped open the divorce agreement, he saw Candace’s signature on the last page of the document. She had pressed the tip of the pen so hard against the paper that it had left an imprint, perhaps reflecting her unwavering determination to leave.
His hand was trembling so badly that he could barely hold on to the recording device. It took him a few seconds before he was able to play the recording. “Yelena, if you didn’t get the same tattoo as me and steal the love letters he wrote for me to forge his handwriting, you would never have been able to replace me. Do you really think he would love you without all of your scheming?”
Yelena giggled on the other end of the line. “If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Shawn. His love for you wasn’t strong enough. That’s why I was able to trick him so easily.
“If you knew that this was going to happen to you, you should have just died on that operating table. You could have taken your son with you and spared you both the pain. You know that I’m right.”
“Did you do something so I
Yelena chortled. “So what if I die
a difficult time while giving birth to Jamie?”
Even if Shawn finds out, he’ll just think that you’re trying to drag my name through the mud again. If I were in your shoes, I would have already died of embarrassment. I wouldn’t be able to cling to the title of ‘Mrs. Hamilton‘ shamelessly like you.”
At the end of the recording, C
said in anguished voice, “Fine. I’ll do as you wish. I’ll vacate the position of ‘Mrs. Hamilton‘ for you!”
The recording device slipped from Shawn’s fingers as he collapsed to the floor, his strength fleeing his legs. He had a look of despair on his face as he murmured, “How can this be? I couldn’t have made a mistake. Yelena is the one I love most. Candace was just a fake!
“She must be angry with me because I wanted a divorce. She created this recording with the intention to slander Lena! Keep looking for her! Bring that despicable woman back to me! I’m going to punish her thoroughly!”
“Mr. Hamilton, your wife can’t come back anymore.” The elderly man handed a pair
ir of shoes to Shawn. “Last night, I also picked up this pair of pink, size 5.5, women’s running shoes by the riverbank.”
He continued, “My condolences for your loss.”
As Shawn gazed at the pink running, s

edding flashed before his eyes. Lucia had forced him to accompany Candace
on a shopping trip.
She had told him that if a person wore a pair of shoes that were bought by their loved one, they would always be able to find their way home. Shawn had completely ignored her at the time.
“Shawn, you useless bastard!” Tears streamed down Lucia’s face endlessly. “You forced Candace, who loved you so much, to take her own life! You forced her to jump into the river with Jamie! My darling grandson had only lived for a month before he died!”
The entire venue erupted in a cacophony of chaos upon hearing Lucia’s words.
“I can’t believe it. Candace threw her pride away and stuck by Shawn’s side like a loyal lapdog just so she could try to jog her beloved’s memories. It’s a shame that Yelena’s schemes against her ended in tragedy. She jumped into the river and took her son with her!”
“You’re right. Yelena looks so kind on the surface. Who could have known that she harbored

“Candace risked her life to give birth to their child. Not only did Shawn not show the slightest bit her because of Yelena’s child. If I were in her shoes, I would lose all motivation to live!”
“No!” Shawn yelled. “Candace loves our son very much! She wouldn’t die!”

He collapsed onto the floor while clutching his head, feeling as if it was being split apart. A few seconds before he lost consciousness, he choked out,” Find the best medicine for me. I want to regain my lost memories. I want to know the truth!”
