“You Can’t be serious!” He bit out as he stared at me, clearly unable to believe his ears. I couldn’t believe my own ears too and my heart waspletely breaking on the inside, but it felt like if I didn’t do this, I’d go home and cry myself to sleep. I was gonna cry myself to sleep should he ept to bring this rtionship to an end as well to be honest.
It’s just that… I’ve never been this utterly embarrassed in a single day. It’s the fact that he apologized to me for this same thing when we both went upstairs to his bedroom, and now it had repeated itself. At this rate, none of his family members would take me seriously and I honestly wouldn’t even know how to face them.
“I’m serious, Marco. This is the height of it. You just embarrassed me so much in there right now and I wouldn’t even know how to face your family members anymore. So, if this is how it’s always gonna be between us, we can just end it now.”
Marco spluttered hard, still staring down at me like he couldn’t believe his ears. “You can’t seriously be ending a rtionship over that! Not when I literally gave up my inheritance for you!” He bit out <i>so </i>sharply that I flinched, then my eyes widened in utter shock as those words echoed continuously in my head.
“What?” I whispered slowly, watching as he sighed and dragged a hand across his face and walked away from me a bit, his back now facing me. I exhaled slowly as I approached him.
“What did you mean by those words, Marco? Did you seriously lose your inheritance because of me?” I asked quietly and he remained stiff for about a minute before he reluctantly nodded in response.
“Yeah, I did.”
I gasped in utter disbelief, my eyes widening as I gaped at him.
“What?? How did it happen??” I demanded as my mind reeled hard. I still couldn’t wrap my head around what I just heard right now. Is his family punishing him because he chose to be with me? That’s it? How cruel!
My mind was stilling up with a bunch of theories when he finally turned around to face me again, and he looked stressed out this time.
“It was the wedding which I ended because of you. If I had gone ahead with it, I’d have gotten the inheritance, but I called it off, because of you. <i>So </i>I didn’t get the inheritance anymore.” He revealed and I blinked at him in utter shock<i>. </i>
“I don’t understand… the inheritance was previously hanging over the marriage?” I asked and he pinched his nose while sighing before stiffly nodding.
“Yes.”
“I don’t understand though, that makes no sense. Wasn’t it yours in the first ce?” I asked and he shrugged a little, making me frown in confusion as I stared up at him.
“Where did the inheritance go after you called off the wedding?”

“To my brother.” He bit out, sounding pained now, with his face in a harsh expression and I felt my frown deepen as I stared at him.
“Then… wouldn’t that mean that the inheritance initially belonged to him?” I asked slowly, but Marco’s face contoured in pure rage.
“You’re defending him!” He bit out and I reared back in shock.
“What? How am I defending him??”
“Saying it originally belonged to him? How the hell do you know that? What do you even know?” He shot back and I nched.
“Stop being ridiculous, Marco! I only said that because clearly he’s the oldest <i>so </i>of course it belongs to him. Or am I still wrong? If I am, you only need to say that and that would be it! There’s no need to assume that I’m defending him or that I don’t know anything!” I shot at him and he turned away from me for a bit to let out a long sigh, while pulling on his hair for a bit.
Feeling extremely drained and wanting to be far away from him right now, I didn’t bother trying to get through to him anymore and instead walked off while trying to call for an uber.
After finding one, I quickly put in my address just as I heard footsteps behind me. For a fleeting moment, I assumed that it was Zane, but it was Marco. He ced a hand on my shoulder once he stopped behind me which I shrugged off.
“I’m leaving.” I tell him while rolling my eyes. He spinned me and cupped my face, then he tried to kiss me. I ended up turning my head away so his lipsnded on my cheek, then I pushed him away. I was annoyed right now, and very mad at him, so no way am I letting him kiss me.
“Aw, c’mon Addison? Are you still mad at me over that?” he asked in a whiny voice and I let out a sound of disbelief before fully pulling away from his arms. I literally couldn’t believe my ears tight now, and as I stared at him right now, I wondered if he had always been like this.
“You can’t be serious right now, Marco. You humiliated me, you embarrassed me tonight. You made me aughing stock. You promised that wasn’t gonna happen, you assured me you’ll be at my side. Meanwhile I gotughed at by all your cousins more times than I could count tonight.”
“Your mother humiliated me <i>so </i>much tonight and did you even bother to defend me? You only did once after Zane asked you to. The second time, you agreed with your mother. You basically agreed with her that I was a slut.” I was alreadypletely out of breath so I had to pause to inhale and exhale deeply before continuing.
“And now you’re asking me if I’m still mad over that? Let me say it then. I’m very mad over that. I’m not just mad, I’m very disappointed. The fact that you still don’t see the problem is actually very hurtful.”
After those words, I turned away fast while blinking fast to stop myself from crying tight now, cause that would honestly be embarrassing right now.
After about a minute, a long sigh echoed out behind me.
“I’m sorry, Addison.” He sighed out quietly but I remained silent.
My uber arrived at that moment and I bid him goodbye, however he grabbed my hand and offered to drop
me off instead.
“The ride is already here so that’s kind of pointless. Have a lovely night.”
