"Call me Marlon!" he said strongly.
I took a deep breath and shouted, "Marlon, I am cold. Could you please give me clothes?" Then I squeezed out a smile.
He took off his suit and covered me with it. It was so disgusting that the suit was what he wore to engage with Alicia, but I had to bear it.
It was better than nothing, wasn't it?
Rachael, held on! I had experienced so many tragedies, so was there anything which couldn't be overcome? Moreover, nothing could hurt me now that I didn't love him anymore.
Picking up the bowl, I forced myself to eat though I had no appetite. Because I knew he wouldn't stop until he reached his goal. As he had placed the meal here, if I didn't enjoy it, it would be a disobedience to him.
I forced myself to take a few bites and tried to figure out how to say. Marlon was not an idiot, but to the contrary, he was one of the wisest people in the world.
"You liked watching me when you were eating," said Marlon.
I turned my head and saw him looking straight at me. In his eyes was an endless abyss, which could not be seen through. I replied, "Yeah!"
My mind was racing. Now that he imprisoned me here and engaged with Alicia in the day, it was proved that who he loved was Alicia but not me.
However, now he should be greeting the guests and accompanying Alicia, but he came back and brought me a meal, which could explain he was possessive about me.
To be more precise, it should be called a habit. In the past four years, he had got used to the fact that I loved him deeply and regarded him as the center, giving him my heart and everything.
When the habit stopped abruptly, he felt uneasy.
Moreover, he had been used to being at the top, so it would be intolerable that someone left him behind and didn't revolve around him.
I kind of wanted to laugh at that. I was so ridiculous that he fell in love with me in a second. Dreaming for four years, I never expected such a funny ending.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Marlon.
Getting to my senses, I shook my head and took another bite, because the situation now absolutely not allowed me to make any mistake and I had to think it over before saying a word. I had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.
In addition, Davidson was still under the threat of Kieran. In his eyes, there was no such thing as kid. Once you offended him, you would come to a bad end.
"Have more, Rachael. You have become thinner." Marlon picked a piece of meat into my bowl and said, "It is bought from your favorite restaurant."
"Great!" I put it into my mouth, thinking that now that he was not accustomed to my hate, why not pretended to love him so that he could get lax.
To be honest, now it was even harder and more painful to smile at him than to act in front of Kieran.
In the past, once I saw him, I would unconsciously smile. But now, there was only a broken heart without feelings which had been tortured by misfortune.
But, I had to do so.
I forced myself to eat a little bit more and put down the chopsticks, "It is delicious as before!"
