Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1845

At that moment, Arianne only had one thought in her head. However, it was neither to leave Mark, nor be fearful of him. She only wanted to protect him!

“Geralt… can you… not report these markings? Just turn a blind eye to this. After all… it’s just some very messy markings that somehow form an ‘M’. We will never know whether this was left here by accident or if it was deliberate. Plus, this won’t be concrete evidence to evict Mark… There are so many words that can be formed with an ‘M’, so how could you be sure that it’s directed at Mark?!”

Geralt frowned. “Are you really going to… defend Mark senselessly? I’m not saying this because I’m siding with Teo, but it’s all because… you’re the woman that my best friend has fancied for so many years. I’m only advising you because of Teo. Are you really going to wait for the day you finally die in Mark’s hands?”

Determination filled Arianne’s eyes. “He would never lay a hand on me, and even if he does, I won’t regret protecting him. Isn’t that what it means to love someone? Loving him without any reason, without any conditions, and he would do the same for me as well. Would you believe me if I were to tell you that Mark would do everything he can to get me out of trouble if I actually did kill someone? Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to help me for free. Let’s use the incident where Mateo’s mom kidnapped me in exchange and we both let the other off the hook. If you have any other concrete evidence that proves Mark was the one who did this, show it to me! There will come a time where I won’t be able to defend him anymore!”

Geralt heaved a heavy sigh, as if to show his helplessness. He took out a piece of handkerchief to wipe off the dirt on Arianne’s finger. “I don’t have any other concrete evidence; these markings aren’t able to prove anything as well. I don’t know whether Mark loves you or not, but I do know that you love him enough. Forget that I brought you here today. Let me drive you back.”

Arianne regained her senses and said, “You don’t have to, I’ll go back myself. I won’t be able to explain myself if Mark saw you. Thank you.”

As Geralt watched Arianne disappear by the stairs, he lifted his leg and wiped off the already faint markings.

After leaving the abandoned building, Arianne stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at the building. Something in her heart seemed to be falling apart.
