After I, Loretta Flood, finished my Redemption Quest, Mario Farrell grew tired of our mundane life. He developed a crush on the new assistant, Lynne Gale. The second time he took Lynne abroad behind my back, I summoned the system. I said, "I want to go home." The system's voice was flat and emotionless. "It's been thirteen years. You even have a child together. Can you really bring yourself to leave him?" I tilted my head and smiled. "No one is that irreplaceable." Still, he was the man I'd saved with my own hands—I was going to destroy him myself before I left.
