Chapter 50: The Night Everything Changed (Season 1 Finale)
The silence in Adrian's study stretched between them.
Lina's heart still pounded after the memory fragment.
"You saved me… didn't you?"
Her voice remained soft.
Adrian didn't answer immediately.
Because the truth was—
He didn't know.
"I… don't remember."
His voice sounded heavy.
Lina nodded slowly.
"I understand."
But inside her heart…
She felt certain.
It was him.
She stood slowly.
"I think… my memories are coming back."
Adrian's eyes softened.
"That's good."
But at the same time—
He felt uneasy.
Because if her memories returned…
She might also remember the pain.
The betrayal.
The past.
"Lina…"
She looked at him.
"If you remember something… tell me immediately."
She nodded.
"I will."
—
Later that night…
Rain began to fall.
Just like the night of the accident.
Lina stood by the window.
Watching the rain quietly.
Something about the rain made her uneasy.
Her chest felt tight.
Suddenly—
Another memory flashed.
Rain.
Car lights.
A shadow.
Her breath caught.
Her hand pressed against the window.
"Adrian…"
She whispered.
Then—
Her phone buzzed.
Unknown number.
She hesitated.
Then answered.
"Hello?"
A deep male voice spoke.
"Mrs. Harrison."
Her eyes narrowed.
"Who is this?"
The man chuckled softly.
"Marcus Blake."
Her heart skipped violently.
"You—"
"I think we should talk."
Her fingers tightened.
"Why?"
Marcus's voice turned calm.
"Because… I know the truth about your accident."
Her breathing became uneven.
"What do you mean?"
Marcus laughed quietly.
"Meet me… and I'll tell you everything."
Lina hesitated.
"Where?"
"I'll send the address."
The call ended.
A message appeared instantly.
Location.
Lina stared at it.
Her heart pounded.
Should she tell Adrian?
She looked toward the study.
He was still working.
She hesitated.
If this was important…
She needed to know.
Just quickly.
She grabbed her coat quietly.
And left.
—
Thirty minutes later…
Lina arrived at the location.
It was an empty parking lot.
Rain poured heavily.
She felt uneasy.
"Marcus?"
She called softly.
Footsteps echoed.
A tall man stepped out from the shadows.
Marcus Blake.
He smiled slightly.
"You came."
Lina stayed cautious.
"You said you know the truth."
Marcus nodded.
"I do."
"Then talk."
Marcus walked closer.
"Your accident… wasn't random."
Lina's heart pounded.
"Go on."
Marcus smirked.
"I planned it."
Her eyes widened.
"What?"
Marcus laughed softly.
"I wanted Adrian's company."
Her hands trembled.
"You…"
"I warned him."
Rain poured harder.
"He refused."
Marcus shrugged.
"So I made my move."
Lina's breath became uneven.
"You're insane…"
Marcus smiled.
"But… something unexpected happened."
Her heart skipped.
"What?"
"You survived."
Lina clenched her fists.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Marcus stepped closer.
"Because… I want to make another deal."
Her eyes narrowed.
"What deal?"
"Convince Adrian to sell his company."
Lina shook her head.
"No."
Marcus's smile faded.
"Think carefully."
"No."
Her voice was firm.
Marcus sighed.
"That's unfortunate."
Suddenly—
Headlights appeared behind her.
Lina turned.
A black car sped toward her.
Her eyes widened.
Everything slowed.
Rain.
Lights.
Fear.
She froze.
Then—
Someone grabbed her.
Pulled her back.
She fell into strong arms.
Crash!
The car slammed into the wall.
Lina's heart pounded violently.
She looked up.
Her breath caught.
"Adrian…"
He was there.
Holding her tightly.
His breathing was heavy.
"Lina… are you okay?"
She nodded weakly.
"You…"
Adrian's eyes burned with anger.
He looked at Marcus.
"You crossed the line."
Marcus smirked.
"Nice timing."
Adrian handed Lina to his bodyguard.
"Take her to the car."
"No—"
Lina tried to protest.
But Adrian's voice turned firm.
"Go."
She hesitated.
Then nodded.
As she walked away—
She suddenly felt dizzy.
Her head spun.
More memories flooded in.
Rain.
Accident.
Adrian pushing her.
Crash.
Blood.
Her eyes widened.
Everything came back.
"Adrian…"
She whispered.
Then—
Darkness swallowed her.
She collapsed.
"Lina!"
Adrian rushed toward her.
He caught her in his arms.
"Lina! Wake up!"
But she didn't respond.
Rain poured harder.
Adrian's heart panicked.
"Call the ambulance!"
His voice echoed.
Marcus watched quietly.
Then turned.
And disappeared into the rain.
Adrian held Lina tightly.
Fear filled his chest.
"Don't leave me…"
The ambulance sirens echoed in the distance.
And just like that—
The night everything changed… began.
