My ex, my Fiancee's Son

Chapters 30. Truth five years ago

"JUST WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, Marcus Cho!" I screamed loudly while standing up.

"I'm not that low. Although I'm poor and a prostitute, but I never had any intention of draining your entire family's possessions."

"really? Then why would you marry my father, don't tell him you love him because it's all Bullshit."

"Or do you want to say only Andrew appreciates and wants you, right? Stop acting and pretend to be weak, *****. You thought I'd be fooled by your wiles. NEVER WILL!"

"YOU!"

"I'm sick and I don't want to see your bitch face any longer." After that he left. My hands were still clenching tightly my eyes were burning staring at Marcus's distant back. That guy's. I really want to hit him and beat him to a pulp.

A large and warm hand held my hand. I turned my head and was locked in Andrew's shady and soothing gaze.

"Take it easy." His hand pulled me back to sit on the chair. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Regulating the roar of breath hunting me to return to normal.

"What's going on? Why are you guys listening, even better than before? Weren't you guys all right yesterday and look familiar."

I'm speechless. I was angry because he insulted me. Coupled with that special gift that I believe the sender was Marcus made me even more angry and upset at the man.

But I can't tell Andrew about that special gift.

"I don't know, since last night he's been acting like that. Or that's his true nature."

Andrew took a deep breath and held my hand tightly.

"Sorry, I know what he said was very rude to you. Actually he's a good boy. But since his mother's death he's become very reclusive and loud." Andrew's eyes looked at me with guilt.

"He's got a deep wound." Sadness was evident in Andrew's eyes.

"Because of losing her mother?"

"No, because of a woman." A lady? I fell silent and looked closely at Andrew. I want to hear the story.

"Here Marcus was a warm and kind man. But after his mother's death he turned cold and quiet. I thought the change was because she felt like she lost her mother but it wasn't. She was sad Hanna died but that was not the cause of her change of attitude. He's like that because of a woman." I just kept quiet and didn't interrupt Andrew's words.

"Hanna was visiting Marcus's apartment. The man told Hanna about the girl he loved. And Marcus insists on driving Hanna home. But it was raining that night and the road was very slippery. Ultimately accidents are inevitable. The car Marcus was driving hit the power pole very hard. Hanna and Marcus are taken to the hospital but Hanna dies while there. And Marcus is in a coma."

"Koma?" I never knew the man was in a coma. Andrew nodded and continued his story.

"Yes, Marcus was in a coma for six months. At that time I was really bad. My wife died and my son fell into a coma."

"Lucky Marcus finally woke up after six months. And she was shocked to learn Hanna was dead. He's also looking for the whereabouts of a girl named Lina." My heart is beating so fast.

"Yes, the girl he told Hanna was named Lina. But during her treatment and coma, no girl named Lina visited her. Only Siska, her college friend, came to visit. And the girl also went to see Marcus more and more after he regained consciousness. I knew at the time that she liked Marcus. But from the moment he awakens from a coma Marcus begins to change. He was much more cold and quiet. I think it's all because of the loss of her mother. But it turns out all those changes were because of a girl named Lina." Every word Andrew spoke seemed to slowly pull the spirit from within my body.

"Marcus was hurt because the girl he loved never once visited him. Marcus is heartbroken that the girl betrayed his love. And I heard from Siska, that girl was just using Marcus's treasure. After hearing Marcus' accident and coma, the girl named Lina disappears with no news. Maybe he thought Marcus would never wake up again." Cold sweat has flooded me. The heart beats faster as Andrew tells it all.

"When did the accident happen?"

"Five years ago, March 25, 2010." My heart beat so hard that it hurt. The accident happened on the day of my mother's death. And Marcus was in a coma for six months after that day. That means Marcus ....

"So, please let you understand him. Because of that girl named Lina, Marcus finds it hard to trust other people anymore. He's very hurt. Because of that, he was cold and hard on you. He doesn't want to be betrayed again and thinks you're approaching me just to drain Cho's family's treasure."

I was just silently pensive with the shocking facts I had just heard. The girl named Lina is me. Lina is the favorite nickname Marcus gave me.

"So try to understand him." Andrew's hand caressed my head but I didn't respond at all. I was still pensively staring blankly and immersed in my own thoughts. All speculation began to take shape.

Five years ago, on March 25, 2010, my mother died. From that day on I lost contact with Marcus. I thought he disappeared away from me, but it turns out that guy had a terrible accident.

I was fragile and needed his presence at the time but it turned out that Marcus was fighting death.

I waited a week or so for Marcus to come home to his apartment, but he never came. Not that Marcus wouldn't come but because he couldn't come and fight to get out of the coma.

I thought Marcus just left me with no explanation, but he couldn't reach me because he was in a coma.

What have I done? I cried and expected her presence in my most difficult time but I had no idea about her condition at all. I wasn't by his side when he was fighting death and trying to wake up from a coma.

He even asked me how I was when he woke up, and I thought he had betrayed me and left me. I even cursed and cursed him.

Good Lord! It's all just a misunderstanding. And I was so stupid for not knowing how she was doing back then. I was devastated by my own circumstances and sadness. Let the man I love fight for himself against death.

Marcus.

He doesn't deserve all the swearing and harsh words I say to him.

Marcus.

It must have been a great disappointment that Marcus felt at the time. But why didn't he seek and demand answers from me? Why didn't he see me when he was awake and healthy again?

I have to go and ask for an explanation directly from him. I got up and headed to my room. I don't even know when Andrew left for work. Now I have to go see Marcus.
