Goodbye, My Love

“Marco, I realize my mistake. I’m terrified of losing you. I only did what I did to win back your affection.”

“Yes, I’m envious of Loraine. You used to treat me so well, but everything changed after she entered your life. Now, you only care about her! I wanted to prove I’m better, I wanted to regain your attention. That’s why I did those wrong things. Can you forgive me?”

Marco frowned, quickly scanning through the flurry of messages. He had no intention of responding.

However, the next message made him pause.

“Do you remember what you promised Jorge? You vowed to look after me.

Jorge was my only support in this world. He sacrificed his life for you. Now that he’s no Longer with us, will you abandon me too?”

Marco’s lips twitched, his breath turning icy.

After Jorge’s demise, he had done his best to care for Keely, even at the expense of his relationship with Loraine.

The debt he owed to Jorge was immense.

A debt he knew he could never fully repay.

Keely seemed to understand this all too well. She knew that the mention of Jorge would make Marco incapable of turning his back on her. Her behavior was becoming increasingly audacious.

But Marco was not going to let her manipulate him further. He owed

Jorge, not Keely. It was time to put an end to this charade.

With thinly veiled irritation, Marco typed a response, “What do you want?” Before he could hit send, another message from Keely popped up.

“Marco, I don’t ask for much. Jorge’s death anniversary is coming up.

Can we visit his grave together? It’ll show him that you’ve been taking care of me.”

Marco’s face darkened even more. He quickly deleted his drafted response and wrote a new one.

“Fine. We’ll visit him together. Afterwards, you should leave the country and never return.”

In the Powell family’s villa, Keely read Marco’s reply, feeling the heavy weight of disappointment.

Jane cast a worried glance her way, reaching for Keely’s phone.

Startled, Keely quickly hid the device behind her, mustering a convincing grin.

“He agreed to meet me. Relax, Aunt Jane. I’ll figure out how to get him to stay once we meet!”

Keely’s leverage on Marco, owing to his promise to Jorge, was losing its hold as Marco grew more distant. Keely was well aware that overusing this ploy would render it ineffective.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
