In a dimly lit room, the flickering neon lights made the room, which seemed to have been unused for a long time, even creepier. A woman was tied to a wooden chair with her mouth duct-taped. The woman was none other than Natalie who was currently unconscious because she had eaten seafood with Hans.

"I told you I was always suspicious of this woman's sudden presence," Maria said to Hans.

"You're right, so what should we do now?" asked Hans to Maria, Maria also walked towards Natalie, whose identity had now been revealed.

"Plak!" Maria suddenly slapped Jessie until Jessie slowly came out of her stupor. "Wake up!" Maria exclaimed as she slapped her again.

Jessie who was still limp because of her allergies slowly opened her eyes, her gaze blurred she saw Hans in front of her. "What's going on? ah I'm tied up? is it possible that the two of them already know my identity?" Jessie said in her heart.

"Ha-Hans, please," said Jessie who hoped Hans didn't know the truth about her.

Hans did not budge, he remained standing in his place while looking angrily at Jessie because he felt cheated. "How can you rise from hell huh? Why did you bother coming to this world again Jessie?" asked Maria while gripping both of Jessie's cheeks.

"Ahh, they already know my identity, how is that possible? Is it only because of allergies that they can be that sure?" said Jessie in her heart, "Mrs. Maria, what do you mean? I don't understand," Jessie had not yet finished her sentence, a hard slap landed on her cheek again.

"Don't play dumb! Have you been helped by Evan all this time, huh? Jessie Jessie, you're too naive we already killed you once do you think we can't do it again? do you still remember the pain you experienced during the accident? yes we hit you from behind, we planned it long ago so that you could disappear from this world," said Maria who seemed to be venting her frustration all this time.

"Maria, calm down, we don't need to be like this with her," said Hans who seemed to still have compassion for Jessie.

"Honey," Jessie said in her soft voice calling Hans, Maria and Hans were surprised to hear it, especially Hans, who sometimes missed Jessie's gentle attitude while together with Maria, who was fairly rude.

"What did I do wrong to you?" asked Jessie to Hans, Hans looked frozen and unable to answer Jessie's question. "Do you remember the day when we were united by our families? I never looked down on you at all, I always embraced you when my father doubted you many times, I was the first person who would defend you, do you remember? We also dreamed of having some cute children, didn't we?" said Jessie who somehow behaved like that.

Maria was both surprised and jealous to hear it, Jessie's words seemed to hypnotize Hans who at that time remembered the happy times with his wife Jessie. "Right, you're right, you've never done anything wrong to me Jessie, I'm the one who doesn't know in profit," said Hans in his heart.

At this time he was still staring at the flashback with Jessie in his mind like a video that was replayed many times. "Hans ... Hans, no you don't be influenced by that woman, I'm sure she's just trying to get away from us," said Maria approaching Hans and shaking his body to wake up.

"Honey, am I really that bad? If you really don't want me anymore, why did you have an affair behind my back? You just need to tell me Hans, why did you also take my life?" Jessie's words again stunned Hans, he could not answer all of Jessie's questions at that time.

"No, Jessie, you never did anything wrong to me," replied Hans who looked guilty, Maria also seemed unable to believe what she saw at this time, she was afraid that Hans would let Jessie go. On the other hand, Jessie also began to believe in herself and felt successful in persuading Hans.

"But Jessie, I'm sorry that I have to do it for the second time," said Hans who then took a wooden block to finish Jessie off. Maria smiled with relief seeing her husband who finally returned to their original plan.

Hans also walked towards Jessie slowly who was still crying, "Hans, thank you for the life you have made for me, whether as Jessie or Natalie, you are always in love with me no matter what I am and what my name is," said Jessie who then closed her eyes.

Jessie's last sentence really made Hans transfixed, his body limp he admitted that he had fallen in love with Jessie again, whether it was Jessie or Natalie both made Hans equally in love.

However, a surprising thing happened, "Don't move! You two will be charged with premeditated murder," said Ken who had been listening to Maria and Hans' confession about Jessie's murder.

"What is this? How is this possible?" Maria looked scared, Hans also dropped the wooden beam in his hand.

Hans knelt at Jessie's feet and apologized to her, "Jessie, I'm sorry, I didn't know that I had turned into a monster because of that woman," Hans said while kneeling in front of Jessie.

Jessie was silent as she watched her ex-husband and his mistress being led to the police station, her eyes staring wide as if she was satisfied with what finally happened to the two betrayers in her life.

Evan, who was with Ken at the time, ran over to Jessie and untied Jesse's body. "Jessie, I'm sorry I came too late," Evan said while looking at her face.

"No, you always come to save me Evan, thanks to the tracker you put on my cellphone I can survive for the second time," Jessie said while looking at Evan's face, they hugged each other and felt relieved that everything was over.

Jessie finally had to reveal her true identity, she admitted that she was the corpse they had been looking for. Jessie also told everything that i experienced during the accident. The police also contacted Mr. Mac and Jessie's family for testimony.

Mr. Julliant and his wife rushed to the police station, both of them crying happily when they found out that their son was still alive.

At the police station,

Mr. Mac was seen who had come first to give testimony, while from a distance Jessie's mother was seen running to meet her son.

"Jessie, my Jessie!" shouted Jessie's mother with tears in her eyes.

"Mom!" said Jessie who had always refrained from calling her mother that,

"I know, I know that you're alive, a mother's hunch is never wrong," said Jessie's mother who repeatedly kissed her son.

"Mom, I'm sorry I came late and didn't tell you," Jessie said,

"No, it's okay you did a great thing son," Jessie's mom replied.

In the excitement, the police had to separate the two to be questioned separately so that there was no indication of conspiracy in it.
