Brian can't leave Elise. Brian had promised not to divorce and leave her. Elise will survive even though now Brian's heart has turned away.

A black car entered the mansion grounds. Make Elise wake up from her reverie. It must be Brian. Elise turned and walked into the room. She sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Brian. Soon Brian walked into the room. The sluggish and tired face of the man was clearly visible. Brian's hair, which is always neat, is now a mess.

​​

"Are you working late again?" Elise asked pleasantly. She walked over to Brian. And help the man untie his tie.

Brian nodded softly in response, "You're not sleeping yet?"

"I am waiting for you." Elise's sweet, low voice was like caressing velvet. Just like Elise's palm now teasing Brian's chest. When Elise's hand went down, Brian held Elise's hand.

"I'm tired and I want to take a shower. You go to sleep first." After saying that. Brian lightly brushed Elise's hand and turned around. Walked into the bathroom without looking back again. Never realized that now Elise was staring at Brian's back with teary eyes.

A picture frame on the nightstand made Elise distract her. Her photo wedding with Brian. Elise remembered that time when she felt very, very happy. It was as if she had just obtained an enormous treasure trove, as if she was a very fortunate person to have all that happiness. Happiness that she had never dreamed of before. The happiness that Elise thought was just wishful thinking. It was never real and never will be in her life.

But it turns out that Brian's presence changes all of her life. The dark and solitary life she had always experienced slowly gained a shining speck of light. Brian is like a light of hope in a dark room.

The darkness in Elise's life. One by one all dark events began to fill Elise's mind. It made Elise's body slowly tremble as many dark memories flashed through her mind. Elise has forgotten her past and even Brian also helped her find a hypnotist to bury those memories far away, but now they are back in Elise's memory. It made the woman experience tremors and her iris to go blank for a moment.

While Elise was disoriented, Brian came out of the bathroom. The man is already wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with his hands holding a small towel to dry his hair.

Brian strolled toward the bed. Elise's back facing Brian made the man unaware of Elise's current state.

Brian took out his laptop and began to sit on the bed. He was about to check some documents that will be used as material for a meeting with the client for tomorrow.

However, when Brian was about to turn on his laptop, he felt something strange. Elise had been sitting silently, neither moving nor speaking.

Brian turned and called, "Elise,"

There was no response or answer at all. This made Brian even more suspicious. He slowly approached Elise while calling her occasionally. But again there was no answer from Elise at all.

Now Brian is right behind Elise.

"Elise," Brian said, patting Elise's shoulder. Elise's body didn't respond at all and Brian felt a very strong tremor from Elise's body. Makes Brian's eyes turn alert and tugged on Elise's shoulder to turn to face him.

And Elise's circumstances left Brian speechless. Elise's eyes were blank without the slightest focus. As if she was immersed in her own world, plus Elise's body that was shaking so strongly made Brian even more anxious.

"Elise!" Brian shouted to bring Elise up. But there was no response.

"Elise!" Again Brian shouted loudly in front of Elise. Brian's two hands did not stay still, shaking Elise's shoulders hard. Trying to pull Elise from the well of darkness in her life.

Brian kept doing that, calling Elise's name loudly and shaking her body to revive her. And before long, Elise's eyes slowly returned to focus. And when she realized who the person in front of her. She immediately hugged Brian very tightly.

Elise's hug was so tight that even Brian choked a little. But he didn't try to untangle or release Elise's embrace. He returned the hug and gently stroked Elise's back. To give that woman peace.

"Brian. Brian." Elise's lips spoke Brian's name over and over under her breath as if she wanted to convince herself that Brian was beside her and in her arms. Elise's tears soaked Brian's shirt.

"Yes, I'm here. Calm down."

Brian's calm words made Elise calm down little by little. But the woman still hugged Brian tightly.

Brian didn't need to ask, he already knew what was happening to Elise right now. He never thought that those dark memories would come back to Elise's memory.

It has been more than three years, Elise has never experienced this or recalled the memories. And Brian thought the hypnosis really worked and would never haunt Elise for the rest of her life.

But it turns out that the memories come back again. What made Elise recall those dark memories?

"Brian?"

"Yes." Brian replied softly.

"Do not ever leave me."

Brian was silent for a moment. His clever brain began to connect all the events that happened with Elise's condition and the woman's current sentence. And now he finally understood. Brian's current behavior and Elise's worries trigger the return of the dark memories.

"Brian," not hearing Brian's answer made Elise tighten her hug. Elise's body stiffened with anxiety, worry and fear. Afraid Brian left her.

This made Brian momentarily lose his mind. He knew that if he answered and promised Elise this time, Brian would never be able to die. And his hopes of being united with Elena should just be dashed. However, he also wouldn't be able to break Elise's fragile heart right now. he couldn't imagine what would happen if Brian left Elise. Maybe the woman is going crazy or committing suicide.

No, Brian would never let that happen.
