My ex, my Fiancee's Son

Chapters 18. Help Me

Marcus' broad back is getting further away. Why did the man become so complicated like this? I really don't know what he's thinking. I took a deep breath and started walking to the empty bench then sat there.

A few minutes later Marcus sat down and gave me a big cup of chocolate ice cream.

"Thank you." I smiled broadly. I haven't eaten chocolate ice cream in a long time. And I still can't believe Marcus remembers this taste of my favorite ice cream.

We both fell silent while enjoying each other's ice cream. The afternoon sky has changed and adds to the beauty of the lake.

When my ice cream ran out, suddenly the question came back to my mind. Why did Marcus just leave me with no explanation five years ago? I have to ask him. No matter what Marcus answers, I will accept and hear it.

I could really die of curiosity if I didn't hear a direct explanation from him. All this time I didn't ask because I was afraid of the answer. I'm afraid that if my thoughts about Marcus are true, that he's just a jerk who wants my virginity. Coupled with his cold, arrogant attitude and judes made me have no chance to ask. And now with our current situation, I think it's the right time to listen to his explanation.

"Marcus." I looked towards Marcus. The man just muttered to answer my call. His eyes stared straight ahead and occasionally ate his ice cream.

"Five years ago ..." I fell silent and swallowed saliva. This is very difficult to say with a single breath. Cold sweat had even come out at the temple. Plus now Marcus' attention was diverted to me. He had already thrown away the rest of his ice cream and looked at me so fixedly. I again swallowed the saliva before continuing my sentence.

"Why did you leave me?" After saying that sentence, my heart felt relieved. It was as if all of the heavy weight that had hit my shoulders had fallen and disappeared.

Marcus was silent. His black eyes were still focused towards me. A whirlwind blew in the silence created between us. But Marcus didn't say a word. He seemed to be fixated on my words. Wh why?

"Marcus." Call me try to get any reaction from him.

His forehead shriveled deeply and his eyes began to look at me sharply as well as full of probing. What's wrong with my words? Why was he acting like he had just listened to something that didn't make sense?

"Leaving you?"

I nodded slowly. Why did he ask like that? Like I don't believe what I'm saying. My forehead shriveled, watching Marcus's facial features as well as his black eyes.

"You said I left you five years ago."

Marcus' tone of voice seemed like he was about to confirm that. It was as if he really couldn't believe it was happening. I nodded back with certainty. Then Marcus laughed out loud. My forehead frowned deeper and deeper and as the conclusion flashed through my thoughts. I immediately stood up. Marcus playing! Shit! Bastard's! You fucking jerk who sucks.

I hit my feet hard. My anger gathers and it's hard to hold on.

"YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY, Marcus Cho!" I shouted loudly in front of him. Luckily he stopped laughing right then and there because I would have lunged and strangled him if he hadn't kept quiet. My breath is hunting. My jaw was stiff and my eyes were focused only on Marcus. If the stare can pull out the laser, I'll make sure Marcus is just a name right now.

The man stood up. Then both of his hands cupped my cheeks. His thumb rubbed slowly, giving a touch that slowly eased my anger.

"Did I say that you look so pretty when you're angry."

Like a fire doused with ice. Instantly my anger evaporated away, replaced by a vibration that made my face heat up. I blinked.

Marcus is very close to me. He smiled so wide. Blindfolded my eyes. A smile was always what she displayed to fascinate and ensnare me first.

Instantly my body was hot not only face but up to my ears as well. I understand what he means. I quickly pushed Marcus' body and immediately turned around.

"Let's go home." I walked quickly to Marcus' car. Marcus laughed behind me.

"I should have brought glass this time. In order to show you how red your face is, Shelina."

Damn, why can my face be so embarrassing like this? I'm walking faster. And it made Marcus laugh behind me. It sucks!

Chapter 12

Now I am lying on the bed. Watching the white ceiling of my room. The incident at the edge of the lake this afternoon crossed my brain. Why am I acting so shameful? My face was so hot it was burning just because of Marcus' words. I was like abg labil who had just been praised by the man he liked. It was really embarrassing and frustrating. Marcus must have been mocking me all the time because of that.

Like a lightning bolt that struck my body. I immediately got up on my bed. How could I forget that most important thing and get distracted?

Marcus didn't answer my question. A question I had so hard to ask him. Marcus didn't answer why he just left me. The man switched the conversation by praising me. It made me lose focus and forget that important thing. I even acted so shamefully with a shy blush.

My spirit is back up. I have to get the answer. I wouldn't have calmed down if I hadn't heard Marcus's direct answer. Why did he just leave me five years ago? I need to see Marcus right now.

I lowered my feet to the floor. And at that very moment the atmosphere of my bright room turned dark. Is the light off now?

SHIT! Why should it be now? I started to panic and my body started to tremble. Since my mother's death, I have the dark phobia Achluophobia—.

I'm so scared of the dark. Especially in such circumstances. Alone in a dark room with no light. Wherever my eyes see there is darkness. I can't see anything. It's all the same, dark.

My body is shaking and agitated. The thing I was most afraid of was a creepy figure who out of nowhere appeared near me. Such a huge and terrifying dark figure.

My body is hot cold and sweat comes out with a lot. The feeling of fear of that monstrous figure made me even more limp and slowly fall to the floor at the foot of the bed. My body is very hard to move. I panicked because it was all around me. Could it be that he was behind, beside or in front of me.

A hand quickly choked my neck. It was so tight I had trouble breathing. I wanted to scream for help but my voice couldn't get out.

Please help me! Helpme! Anyone help me!

That big hand was getting hard to torture me. I'm having trouble breathing. Please help me, I don't want to die here.

My body is getting limp. I was even lying on the floor but the big hand did not let go of the giggling.
