Goodbye, My Love

Angrily, and with a sense of desperation, Marco cut her off, “We’re more than just business associates! Loraine, are you trying to push me away? That’s never going to happen!”

Loraine returned his fervor with an impassive Look, replying flatly,

“Why is it impossible? Mr. Bryant, I’ll delegate someone else to manage the ongoing collaboration between Universe Group and Bryant Group. As for meeting you, I believe we won’t have that kind of need in the future.”

Every time Loraine Laid eyes on Marco, it only served to fuel her annoyance. She didn’t even want to spare him another glance.

Marco’s complexion paled, and he quickly tried to set things straight,

“Loraine, it’s not how it appears. Keely and I…”

Upon hearing this, Keely perked up. She swiftly interjected, feigning innocence, “Yes, Loraine, don’t misunderstand. Actually, Marco brought me here to fulfill a commitment he made to me…”

Keely was cut off abruptly by Marco’s harsh admonishment, “Enough,

Keely, be quiet!”

Marco shot Keely a stern look, causing her to recoil in fear.

Loraine had no desire to hear more. She drew a deep breath, prepared to turn and walk away.

Ignoring everything else, Marco again held Loraine’s hand hastily, pleading, “Loraine, I came to pay respects to my friend, Jorge. Keely was only brought along because she was engaged to him!”

Loraine paused, causing Marco’s eyes to light up with hope. But just as he thought she might be willing to hear him out, Loraine fixed him with a frosty gaze and scoffed, “Do you honestly think your words hold any credibility for me?”

Marco had been at the cemetery with Keely but had falsely told Loraine he was at the office.

Loraine pondered, if Marco had truly brought his deceased friend’s fiancée here solely to pay their respects, then why had he felt the need to lie about his whereabouts?

“Marco, I can’t discern the truth from the lies in your words. Could it be that you’re lying to me for Keely’s sake right now?”

After all, it was undeniable that Marco had shown significant affection towards Keely in the past and had repeatedly hurt Loraine on account of her.

Once Keely had left, Loraine believed Marco had transformed, but with Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Keely’s return, everything reverted to the way it once was!

The promises Marco had made to Loraine were nothing more than empty words. His vow to never let her feel wronged or hurt for anyone else had been nothing but deceit!

A bitter sensation welled up in Loraine as she recalled Aldo’s counsel about not putting her faith in Marco again.

She had allowed herself to be swayed by Marco, even defending him to her family, only to find that her family’s warnings had been justified.

She should have never expected him to change. After all, a man who had hurt her once was fully capable of inflicting pain again.
