Samantha's plan was to leave Town and never come back, to only end up in a car accident.
Before she loses consciousness, she vaguely heard her ex-husband's voice.
“Samantha!” “Look at me!”
The man's voice was domineering and powerful.
Samantha's body was in pain, with furrowed brows she slowly opened her eyes.
It was Theodore, her ex-husband.
His eyes were red, his body was trembling and panic showed on his face.
Samantha asks herself what was he afraid of, nor could she understand why those eyes showed profound sense of fear.
“The … The…” Samantha tried to call his name while looking at him, but to her surprise, no voice came out.
“Don't speak, just listen to me!” Theodore, hold her tight.
Samantha immediately feels the warmth of his embrace.
“Samantha, I regret divorcing you!”
"I'm sorry, I knew you were inlove with someone else, but still forced you to marry me.
As he spoke, he kept her on his embrace. From the first day I lay my eyes on you, I knew you had a special place in my heart. I kept my eyes on you since then, before I knew it, I am deeply inlove with you. That's why when my parents arranged our engagement, I said yes with no hesitation."
"After you took your college entrance exam, I was sent away to further my education.
However, I would sneak up to your school so I could have a look at you without your knowledge."
"During your university days. I was scared that you might fell inlove with somebody else. That's why I already set my mind on marrying you after you graduate.
"After I finished my graduate studies and become the successor of the family business. I was overjoyed, because we could be together and fulfill my duty to you as your loving husband.
"However, after we got married, I realized that, it was all wishful thinking."
"I've loved you since the day I saw you, though it's unrequited, I had no regrets. At the very least, I was lucky to have called you as my wife, then. You were once Mrs. Theodore."
"After our divorce, I kept thinking and to this day wonder, what did I do wrong? why my love has never been reciprocated, hence the divorce.
"Samantha, it's been my privilege to have met you in this life."
"My only wish in your next life, that you may find your happiness and have no recollection of me, though I hope that heaven will allow me to still watch over you."
Theodore clenched fists, expressed each word with so much emotions as he fixed his gaze into Samantha’s ghostly pale face.
The pain in his eyes were overwhelming, A tear drop from his face and fell straight into Samantha’s face.
Samantha, could not believed the confession of the man in front of her.
It makes her feel unseasy, she wanted to say something but unfortunately her body could no longer held up.
She knew, her time was coming.
If there were to be an afterlife, her only wish is for him to still love her endlessly and promised herself that the love he had for her will be reciprocated this time.
With her last breath, Samantha said softly, I'm sorry "Theodore.
