The book ends with Amy writing that she is about to give birth to her son, and that she has written a memoir about her so-called abduction and imprisonment. Nick had begun writing his own memoir exposing Amy's lies, but deleted it when Amy, who knew he wanted to have a child, revealed her pregnancy. Amy begins plotting an attempt to frame Nick for poisoning her, but, having resolved never to let his guard down around her again, he quickly discovers and dismantles it.
