The garden was drowned in the silence of the night, the moon casting its glow upon the pond, while the long shadows of the trees wrapped the place in gloom.
Rehana stepped out quietly, unaware that danger was closing in.
Elena slowly raised her gun, her eyes frozen cold, and pulled the trigger.
The gunshot echoed, and Rehana collapsed to the ground, the warmth leaving her body little by little.
The world around her seemed empty, darkness swallowing everything, and silent tears slid down her cheeks.
Leonardo arrived in a rush, his heart nearly stopping as he saw her body lying motionless on the grass, frozen in a shock he couldn't believe:
— "No… Rehana!!"
Maria ran to him, but this time, there was no saving her.
Her tears mingled with shock, and the garden became the silent witness to Rehana's tragic end.
Elena fled back into the mansion, leaving only ruin and devastation behind.
Leonardo wept bitterly over Rehana, realizing that love, betrayal, and danger had left their eternal mark—and that Rehana… was gone forever, never to return.

Three years later:
Elena lived with Leonardo once more, and they had a son, as if nothing had ever happened.
As for Rehana, she remained only a memory… a faint scent lingering in the halls of the mansion, a silent whisper between the walls—a sign that she had once been there, but no longer was.
