Ivan didn’t bother bboring the point. Instead, he asked bluntly, “So why Megan? Why did one of your


    men rape and kill her?”


    “What are you talking about? Better yet, who are you talking about?


    Megan?” Aldrich admitted to nothing.


    “The engineer who raped her worked for you. I’m not stupid. Why?” Ivan stared at him with a fierce


    Look; he was so disappointed in Aldrich. He thought he knew the man in front of him, but it turned out


    he didn’t.


    “Dammit Ivan! I’m your boyfriend. Why don‘t you trust me?” Aldrichined bitterly.


    Upon hearing the word “boyfriend,” Ivan pulled a long face and snapped, “Boyfriend? I never agreed to


    that!”


    Aldrich hugged Ivan tightly and clutched his shirt. He gave him a pitiful look.

    “Ivan, we’ve been together for five years. You dumping me?”


    Ivan pushed him away. Aldrich fell and only throughst-minute maneuvering hit the couch. Ivan stared


    down at him and said in a cold voice, “Quit it! I’m married now.” He pulled out a bank card from his


    wallet and handed it to him.


    “Here you are. Three million dors.


    Enjoy. Don’t call me again!”


    Instantly, Aldrich’s eyes brimmed with tears. Without sparing a single nce at the card, he yelled in a


    sobbing voice, “Ivan, do you remember your promise? Five years ago, you said we’d be together, that


    you’d take care of me for the rest of my Life. You’re throwing all that away over a woman? So what


    happened to the fake marriage? That’s what you told me it was. To make your mom happy. But now


    you’re dumping me because of her. So tell me-do you love her?”


    But Ivan wasn’t stupid. He was afraid Aldrich might go after Debbie. So he tried to exin, “The


    marriage is fake. She’s like my own sister, for Christ’s sake. She’s in love with someone else. Five


    years ago, I didn’t know my own feelings. Now I do. I promised to take care of you, not let you do


    whatever you want. Am I clear?”


    Seeing that Ivan was determined this time, Aldrich was flustered.


    “You’re the only one I want. Without your love I’m nothing. Ivan, I love you. And you love me.” Tears


    welled up in his eyes, and a single drop found its way down his face.


    “Say it! Debbie’s not good for you.


    She’s a whore. She even has a kid”


    “Aldrich!” Ivan interrupted him angrily.


    “She’s not that kind of girl, regardless of what you’ve read in the tabloids. And besides, this isn’t about


    her. Goodbye, Aldrich.”


    “Ivan…” ALL of a sudden, Aldrich calmed down.


    Ivan stared at him without saying a word.


    Aldrich asked in a serious manner, “Don’t you love me anymore?”


    Ivan shook his head.


    “No, I don’t. Megan was the straw that broke the camel’s back. You really let me down this time.”


    ‘Maybe I never Loved you, * Ivan thought to himself.


    All the blood drained from Aldrich’s face as he Laughed out loud sarcastically.
