If Marco abandoned her out of anger, she would be doomed.
Therefore, when Keely saw Loraine and the others leave the room, she snuck back in.
She lingered timidly in the doorway. “Marco, are you okay? I was worried about you, so I came back.”
Marco didn’t respond.
Keely walked into the box and sat next to him, her eyes filling with tears. “Don’t ignore me Like that,
Marco. Please believe me. My cousin and uncle brought me here. I had no idea they were plotting
against
Loraine.”
Marco continued to drink without acknowledging her.
Not wanting to give up, Keely touched his arm tentatively. “Marco…”
Marco suddenly grabbed Keely’s hand.
“Ouch, that hurts! Marco, it’s me, Keely. Let go of me!” Keely whimpered in pain.
Marco brushed her hand away as though it was something dirty.
“Keely, you have crossed the line. Do not forget that you are Jorge’s fiancee.”
Jorge! Again, it was Jorge!
At the mere mention of his name, Keely was ovee by a sense of helplessness and annoyance.
For so many years, Jorge had stood between her and Marco.
Each time she wanted to get closer to Marco, Jorge would appear out of nowhere Like a ghost and
hinder her efforts.
Keely looked at Marco sadly and shouted, “I haven’t forgotten it. Jorge has been gone for so long,
though. Do I have to live in the past for the rest of my Life? Can’t I move on? Marco, let’s move on and
be happy together, okay?”
Marco was stunned. He hadn’t expected such a confession. Keely had always spoken at length about
Jorge.
He felt Like he had been cheated.
“Keely, listen to me. If you hadn’t been Jorge’s fiancee, I wouldn’t have protected you over the past few
years.”
Keely was having trouble believing that Marco could be so cold. “No, I don’t believe it! We’ve known
each other for so many years, Marco. Do you not have any feelings for me?”
“No,” Marco replied immediately. “Don’t dream of something that doesn’t belong to you.”

Keely stared at the callous man in front of her. Her frustration and desperation grew.
