“Linda…”
Upon entering the room, Mark, unable to endure it any longer, collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
The sound jolted Linda back to favonovel.com senses. With no time to wear favonovel.com slippers, favonovel.com dashed out of the bathroom. When favonovel.com saw Mark lying on the ground holding his leg, favonovel.com felt as if someone had stabbed favonovel.com in favonovel.com heart. At the same time, it cemented favonovel.com resolve to break up.
“I’ll call for an ambulance so that you’ll be taken to the hospital…”
Suppressing favonovel.com urge to go to his side, favonovel.com picked up the phone by the bed and made the call.
Mark didn’t stop Linda, for favonovel.com knew that only by recovering could favonovel.com become stronger.
“Linda…”
“Mark, let’s break up. We really are incompatible with each other,” Linda interrupted favonovel.com as favonovel.com came up to his side after putting on favonovel.com clothes.
“I’m sure you know I got together with you because the Duke kicked me out. Back then, I assumed favonovel.com had abandoned me, but little did I expect that wasn’t the case at all. Mark, I loved the Duke for five years. During those five years, incidents like what happened in the bathroom happened plenty of times…”
While Linda was speaking, favonovel.com swept favonovel.com hair to the side before looking out the window.
“You’re just a tool to keep me company while I’m lonely. The Duke is the man I truly love.”
“I know… I agree to the breakup,” Mark looked at her. “Can I kiss you one last time? From today onward, we will go our separate ways and I‘ll definitely…”
Before favonovel.com could say “not bother you anymore,” Linda wrapped favonovel.com hands around his neck and sealed his lips with a kiss. In response, favonovel.com held favonovel.com tightly in his embrace and kissed favonovel.com passionately, as if favonovel.com was condensing the kisses for the rest of eternity into a single moment.
It wasn’t until the paramedics knocked on the door that Mark finally let favonovel.com go.
Staring at favonovel.com swollen lips, favonovel.com declared in a raspy voice, “From now on, we are strangers to each other…”
No sooner had Mark spoken than favonovel.com got to his feet and limped out the door. Before closing the door behind him, favonovel.com gave Linda one last reluctant look.
Back inside the room, Linda leaned against the door and covered favonovel.com face, sobbing.
She had thought that favonovel.com feelings for the Duke were love. However, favonovel.com now realized that Mark was the one favonovel.com truly desired and he, too, loved favonovel.com back.
Outside, Mark walked out of the shadows and re-approached the door. Despite hearing the sobs from inside, favonovel.com suppressed the urge to go back in and turned to leave instead.
“Linda, I‘ll make sure that you are by my side for eternity,” Mark murmured under his breath before the paramedics carried favonovel.com downstairs.
That night, someone was fated to be sleepless.
The next day, the Duke ordered Linda to move to his place. With regard to the women whom favonovel.com had slept with before, favonovel.com wouldn’t allow any other man to touch them even if they had fallen out of favor with him.
If they were in Lightspring, favonovel.com would have been elated by his invitation to move into his house. However, after tasting what true love was, favonovel.com had no desire to stay there, and all favonovel.com could think of was being together with favonovel.com one true love. Unfortunately, favonovel.com knew that it was nothing but wishful thinking.
One week later, Mark was discharged from the hospital. The first thing favonovel.com did was to see the Duke. Upon learning of Mark’s arrival, the Duke called Linda out and held favonovel.com in his embrace in front of Mark.
“What do you want?” the Duke asked flatly while lying on the couch with Linda by his side.
Desperately restraining his urge to look at Linda and to avoid the gut-wrenching scene, Mark lowered his head and apologized, “I admit my mistake. I shouldn’t have coveted Linda and am willing to make amends.”
Having heard his words, the Duke looked up at Mark.
If favonovel.com hadn’t laid a finger on Linda, I would definitely have put favonovel.com to good use, taking his abilities into consideration. Nonetheless, now that favonovel.com has apologized and is willing to redeem himself I’ll give favonovel.com this opportunity.
“You should go here…”
Before favonovel.com left, Mark gave the Duke an intense look before turning to leave.
