you consider that woman your wife?
Marco fell silent, frozen, as he received a hard slap from Arabella, while Letta didn’t expect to witness the two lovers fighting in front of her.
“You immediately give the gift of a slap after all this time we haven’t met,” Marco said. Their last meeting was indeed during Marco’s reception. At that time, Marco only informed Arabella that he suddenly had important matters with Letta to take care of regarding the pregnancy. Marco quickly left the reception. At that time, it was Marco’s subordinates who managed the entire reception when Letta had an accident. Even Marco’s parents and other family members did not know that Letta was no longer carrying Marco Jovanka’s child.
“What are you doing? You’re truly betraying me right in front of my eyes,” Arabella said, looking at Marco disapprovingly.
“What did I betray you with? Isn’t it normal for a husband and wife to do what we just did?” Marco asked in his cold tone, stroking his reddened cheek, making Arabella narrow her eyes at him.
“What’s wrong with you, and why did you bring that woman to meet me? I came here to meet my fiance,” Arabella said, making Letta want to get up from her place, but Marco still gripped her hand tightly.
“Unfortunately, your fiance is also this woman’s husband. So, what now? I can’t just let her go like that,” Marco said, leaving Arabella completely speechless.
Arabella had noticed a change in Marco after their wedding day. Marco was no longer sweet, warm, and caring towards her. Even the messages Arabella sent were only replied with brief answers. Marco rarely even picked up the phone. Two weeks after the wedding reception, Arabella had to fly to Paris for work. However, Marco never once escorted her to the airport and did not pick her up at all. And this time, what Arabella saw was something she couldn’t have imagined before, that Marco would do it right in front of her own eyes.
“So, you consider that woman your wife?” Arabella asked.
“Of course, because we have made a sacred vow in front of all of you. In fact, our marriage is also officially registered, so she is indeed my wife,” Marco replied. This made Arabella then walk closer to him, then grip the clothes that Marco was wearing.
“Actually, what’s happened to you? Are you playing me? Weren’t you the one who said that after the child that woman is carrying is born, you will leave her and marry me? Is this your way of convincing me to take care of your child?” Arabella asked. Letta widened her eyes, realizing that her suspicions were true all along, that she would be dumped in the end, and they would live happily without that child.
“Then, what’s happening now? Are you swayed by her seduction, or just because of her body? Have you not been satisfied playing with me all this time? Is this how you’re ending our relationship?” Arabella asked, making Marco fall silent for a moment. Marco was about to reach out to caress the side of Arabella’s face, but Arabella immediately pushed him away.
“Don’t touch me at all. I’m truly disgusted by you now. You’re really not the Marco I knew. And it seems like you need an explanation as a defense to both of our parents and my family, because I no longer want to continue our relationship,” Arabella said. After that, she fell silent, observing Marco’s reaction, who was also silent in response. Previously, Marco might have begged and provided understanding to Arabella, but now he only looked at her with a blank expression.
“Fine, then I’ll prepare my defense to both of our families. So, it’s over, isn’t it?” Marco said, making Arabella truly widen her eyes. Arabella was the one ending things with Marco now, but it felt as though she was the one being dumped by the man in front of her.
“Are you really not going to plead with me? Do you really want to end this relationship like this because of that woman?” Arabella asked again to make sure, making Marco just bow his head. After that, he looked back at Arabella.
Isn’t this what you wanted? I will follow all your wishes, Ara. If you want our relationship to continue, you just need to refrain from commenting on my current life with Letta. But if you want to end it and can’t handle my games, it’s better for us to end our relationship because I also don’t want you to feel burdened by it,” Marco said, leaving Arabella completely clenched her hands.
“You’ve truly changed, Marco. I don’t know you anymore, and because our relationship ended in a bad way, don’t expect me to greet you if we run into each other out there,” Arabella said. After that, she turned around and left Marco and Letta just like that. Arabella felt her chest tighten, as she had said before that she would never see Marco treat her this coldly. Arabella didn’t know what had happened to him, but what she remembered was that Marco had inflicted a painful wound in her heart, and this would be a long-standing issue between their families.
Meanwhile, Letta was just frozen with what Marco said. Letta didn’t understand why Marco decided to break up with Arabella just like that. Before, Letta knew very well the gossip about them being the most coveted couple by other pairs. But this time, Marco decided to break up with Arabella so easily, making Letta feel something was off.
“You heard it, didn’t you?” Marco asked, making Letta look at him. Marco was still gripping her wrist quite tightly.
“I will release my love on my own. That means I’ve destroyed myself after losing what I should have had. And it’s all because of you. And now, you have to bear it all. I can’t continue to restrain Arabella now because I don’t want her to be dragged along and feel the pain I’m going through,” Marco said, making Letta struggle to swallow her saliva. So this is the reason Marco let go of Arabella. He then handed it over to Letta, making Letta only able to close her eyes for a moment. However, the next second, Letta winced again as Marco pressed the side of her face quite roughly.
“Fortunately, I have you to vent all that I feel. So be prepared to keep breathing within my reach, Letta,” Marco said. After that, he pushed Letta’s face away quite roughly, making Letta only able to control her racing breath. It seemed that her suffering would only increase when Marco truly held such great resentment towards her.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
