The screen showed a picture of a boy and a girl. They quite looked like each other, meaning that they could possibly be twins. Annie touched the screen and said in a light voice, "My babies, I'm really sorry. I can't bring your daddy home to you."
She stared at the picture on the phone until she fell asleep on the couch.
When Rain woke up, he felt parched and the pounding pain in his head was killing him. He didn't open his eyes, but rubbed his brow to alleviate the pain. After he felt better, he opened his eyes and got the shock of his life.
He threw back the quilt and jumped off the bed. 'Where the hell am I? Did my friends just throw me in a hotel room instead of sending me home? What fucking fake friends I have! I'm gonna get those sons of bitches next time!' he cursed in his mind.
He looked around and his eyes widened when he saw a woman sleeping on the couch. He looked closer and easily recognized who it was. Annie! What was she doing here? And why were they in the same room?
He fixed his eyes on her face and didn't dare to move. He was afraid that this was just a dream, and Annie would disappear once he woke up. He wanted to stay in this moment a bit longer.
She didn't seem to be sleeping well as her brow was furrowed. The phone in her hand was about to drop. He walked to her quietly and caught the phone as it was about to fall to the carpeted floor.
He knew it was not right to invade her privacy, but his curiosity was killing him. He turned on the phone and it felt like his heart was pierced when he saw the twins on the screen. 'She has a son and a daughter, and they look like two or three years old. It means that she got married and got pregnant after she left me. Ha-ha! I am such a fool!' he mocked himself.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
"You have a beautiful wife and an adorable son." Annie tried her best to sound natural, but her shaking voice betrayed her.
"What? What are you talking about? I have a wife and a son?" Rain reacted in disbelief, his jaw slack. He was totally confused. After a while, he realized that Annie must have thought that Richard was his son. But who did she think his wife was? And why was she thinking like that?
"Uh? Did I say something wrong?" Annie asked in reply, seeing the bewildered look on his face.
"Never mind." Rain shook his head. He planned to explain it, but at the thought of Annie's husband and children, he decided not. What was the use?
They remained silent for a long time. Rain bid her goodbye as he couldn't bear the silence anymore. Yes, he still loved her. But so what? She was married, and he could do nothing about it.
Annie watched his receding figure. She wanted to stop him, but didn't. If she stopped him, what would she tell him? She didn't know.
Rain didn't leave the hotel. He had his own suite just a few floors up, so he headed straight to it. As soon as he got in, he threw himself onto the soft bed burying his face into the pillow.
