Erin Watson was Brett Barton's stepsister, but to Brett, she was the one indirectly responsible for his mother's death. She loved Brett, but on her 18th birthday, when her diary was exposed, her secret crush was laid bare for all to see. It was only when Brett threw her diary to the ground, trampling it like it was worthless, that she realized the man she loved would never return her feelings. Even after they accidentally ended up sleeping together, the disgust in his eyes was unmistakable. With her heart completely broken, Erin decided it was time to end it all. She left her paycheck behind to repay Brett's family for raising her and then quietly left the city. On the day she left, Brett lost his mind, sparing no effort to find her and even going so far as to imprison her. Erin looked at him with indifference. "Brett, we can never go back." Brett's eyes were bloodshot. "You forced your way into my life. You can’t just walk away like nothing happened!"
