Goodbye, My Love

Upon hearing Loraine’s words, Marco was thrown into a state of alarm and hastily affirmed, “Loraine, I would never lie to you for anyone else! I concealed the truth because I didn’t want you to be troubled by

Keely. Furthermore, after today, I planned on sending her overseas, ensuring she’d never return. I meant to explain this to you Later…”

Loraine stared at Marco impassively. Ignoring his heartfelt plea, she demanded coldly, “Let go of me.”

Marco bit his lip and shook his head, his grip on Loraine’s hand tightening.

He had seen that exact look in Loraine’s eyes before when she had been utterly disappointed in him, resolute in her decision to divorce.

Marco feared that if he were to release Loraine now, she would truly walk away, never to return.

With a quiet voice, Loraine warned, “Marco, if you don’t release me,

I’LL call the police and charge you with harassment.”

Her face was a mask of icy determination, her words deadly serious.

Marco realized she was dead-set. Loraine despised him and detested his touch to her core.

Stung by her piercing gaze, a sinking feeling gripped Marco’s heart, and he gradually released his hold.

Before he could fully let go, Loraine wrenched her hand free and stepped into the rain, not once looking back.

Marco watched in agony as Loraine faded from his view.

He acknowledged that chasing her now would only stoke her disdain for him. A realization filled with regret dawned on him.

If only he had told Loraine the truth, as Carl had advised, they might not be in this predicament.

Suddenly, a gentle pair of arms enveloped his body. Keely’s voice, soft yet comforting, whispered, “Cheer up, Marco. If Loraine chooses to leave, let her be. It’s heartless of her not to consider your side of the story. I promise, I would never treat you this way…”

Abruptly, Marco pushed Keely aside, his frown deepening as he reproached, “Is your dramatic performance over, Keely?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Caught off guard, Keely responded with a forced smile, “Marco, what do you mean?”

With an icy tone, Marco retorted, “Do you believe I’m blind to your manipulations? I had planned not to give you a hard time for Jorge’s sake. But since you don’t appreciate it…”

Marco shut his eyes, inhaled deeply, and then declared, “I’LL arrange for your departure tonight.”

He had shown restraint with Keely, in gratitude for Jorge’s heroic deeds. Despite Keely’s increasingly deplorable actions, Marco had prepared a comfortable life overseas and a considerable sum of money for her — enough to last her lifetime.

But Loraine was Marco’s breaking point. Keely had crossed that line repeatedly and without remorse, hence Marco saw no reason to continue his leniency.
