"I accepted you, but you betrayed me,” Johnson's voice was cold, filled with betrayal.
Maria, eyes red and brimming with tears, put on a sorrowful expression and pleaded, “No, it’s not what you think, Johnson. Please, listen to me. At the time, I didn’t want any of this. It was Marshall who forced me. That’s why I had no choice but to be with him.”
Johnson raised an eyebrow, skepticism creeping into his voice, “So you’re saying you were forced by Marshall into being with him?”
“Yes,” Maria nodded, her tears streaming down her cheeks, looking pitifully at Johnson.
Seeing her state, Johnson lowered the machine gun in his hand, softening slightly. “It seems I may have wronged you.”
Maria sniffled and continued, “Johnson, you must know, I’ve long been deeply in love with you.”
She glanced back at him and said, “Go on, leave. I’ll hold off this cultivator, Wilbur.”
“Alright, I’m counting on you,” Johnson replied in a tone mixed with relief and determination.
Maria pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Wilbur, positioning herself between him and Johnson. “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll shoot you right now. No one is going to hurt my Johnson!”
As she focused entirely on Wilbur, the sound of gunfire filled the room.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
Her chest was riddled with bullets, blood blossoming from the wounds and staining her robe. Maria's eyes widened in shock as she collapsed to the floor, dead before she could utter another word.
