Goodbye, My Love

Marco’s number. The Line didn’t go through. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

It finally connected when Keely was about to give up.

“Marco, help me!” Keely cried out pitifully

“Fuck you, Keely! How dare you call me again?” The anger and hatred in

Marco’s tone were undeniable. “I already know what you did. Why do you have to say to me now?”

Staring at the door, Keely pleaded with a shaky voice.

“Please help me,

Marco. I was forced to do that. I didn’t mean to harm Loraine. I had no choice but to do it because those evil men threatened to harm me.”

Marco retorted immediately, “Bah! Spare me your lies, Keely. You can’t fool me. I know you are the brain behind this. In the recording, you clearly said that you were going to destroy Loraine. Why are you still denying it now?”

Keely knew lying was useless now, so she resorted to crying pitifully.

“I’m so sorry! Everything I did was because of you. I love you, Marco.

You were so nice to Loraine, so I decided to teach her a lesson. I didn’t want things to turn out this way. Please understand and forgive me, Marco.”

As Marco listened to Keely’s cries, he shut his eyes and found it ridiculous.

How could he be so stupid?

He blamed himself for indulging Keely all this time. The more he tolerated her, the more her actions became presumptuous. She had attacked Loraine more than once. And every time, she became more aggressive.

Marco was fed up with it all. Anytime the image of Loraine being surrounded by those perverted bastards flashed in his mind, Marco wished he could snap Keely’s neck with his bare hands.

His heart was closed off to her now.

“Enough is enough! You must face the music. Save your silly explanation for the cops and the judge. I have had it up to here with you. That was the last straw. I won’t come to your aid this time!”

At this moment, the soldiers began to smash the door open since Keely refused to respond to the knocking.

“No, you can’t do that to me, Marco!” Keely was scared out of her wits.

“Have you forgotten how Jorge died? He died trying to save you. You promised him that you would take good care of me. How can you go back on your word now?”

Marco didn’t utter a word for a long time.

The silence drove Keely nuts.
