163 Getting Past Her Past (1)

Shen pulled away and shook his head. He raked a hand through his hair, pushing it back from his face, revealing the worry lines on his forehead, betraying his distress.

 Lina clasped her hands together, wanting badly to comfort her husband, but scared to touch him if he pushed her away. 

She couldn't bear for him to keep her away from him, but could she expect another reaction? She felt like she had broken his heart. 

"Please, just tell me anything to make it better, please" he begged quietly. "I...I have our marriage certificates right her!" he said, in a pained voice, still reeling in disbelief. 

Lina took a deep breath, she had to tell him the entire story today before she hurt him anymore. He had waited so patiently, never spied on her or pushed her to reveal everything and this was his reward -- her betrayal. 

"My name is not Lina Mito, it's Lina Dai. You married my undercover identity...but Lina Mito doesn't really exist." she whispered.
