I gave a sarcastic smirk, and Fanny immediately sensed something was wrong. "Licia, don't tell me it's because he's been messing around with that widow, huh?"
Fanny was indeed my best friend, knowing where my breaking point was.
"He gave Haley a house, which was supposed to be mine," I explained briefly.
Fanny was silent before she finally spoke, her voice laced with frustration. "You..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but I knew what she meant. "I'm not giving Conrad another chance."
"That jerk doesn't deserve your forgiveness. If you let this slide, Conrad will do it again!" Fanny and I shared the same views on love.
I nodded. "I know."
"Fine, we need to think it through carefully. Answer Conrad’s call and see what excuses he has this time. Come over later," Fanny paused, "I'll swap shifts with someone."
I wanted to tell her not to bother, but she had already hung up.
Conrad's persistent calls continued, and I answered, "Hello..."
"Felicia, what the hell? What are you playing at?" Conrad's voice was so loud that I had to hold the phone away from my ear.
I waited for him to calm down before speaking again. "Conrad, I agreed to marry you in front of your parents yesterday, giving both you and me one last shot."
"Stop with the nonsense. Where are you? Why didn't you show up to get the marriage license today?" he demanded.
It seemed Ivan and Haley hadn't mentioned my visit to the house, and I hadn't brought it up either. I answered, "I went to Silent Wisdom Temple to pray with Master Mathew."
That shut him up.
He knew his lie got exposed. "Felicia, listen to me. I can explain..."
"There's nothing left to explain. You've made enough excuses, and I'm tired of hearing them. I'm tired," I paused, "Conrad, let's end this."
