Cyrus borrowed someone’s phone to text me, saying he and Serena were both being deported back home.
“Can you come back and take care of me?” His voice sounded extremely weak in the voice message.
However, I did not feel a shred of pity, retorting mercilessly to cut his last strand of hope. “Face it, I don’t love you anymore. Now you’re like a turd in the latrine to me, dirty and foul.
“Perhaps you were important to me once, but now I’m too disgusted to even look at you. Do you understand me now?”
After that, Cyrus never contacted me again.
Thinking back, I could have died if Serena had not suddenly shown up. He should have considered that before he pulled something so reckless.
The next day, I called a mutual friend of ours. The day after that, he told me that Cyrus‘ condition had stabilized. His life was no longer in danger.
I finally let out a breath of relied. This sort of distance would be the best for both of us.
Meanwhile, Serena was arrested and charged accordingly.
I began my new life, working and partying with my colleagues just like any other woman. Nobody knew about my dramatic past.
A year after that, I scored a promotion at work. When I was celebrating with my friends, Anthony confessed to me, saying he wanted to stay by my side and protect me forever.
Charlotte was happy to hear that. She patted his shoulder and made him promise to treat me well. “She’s my only bestie, so you can’t hurt her, you hear?”
Anthony nodded and rubbed my head with a smile. “Don’t worry, Marilyn.”
His tone was gentle, filling me with his warmth and love.
Not long after that, we got engaged. After the ceremony, I went out for some fresh air, and someone delivered a bouquet of flowers to me.
The sender was anonymous. I looked at the blue roses, Cyrus‘ favorite, and tossed them aside with a smile.
I had started a brand new life, and the past was gone with the wind.
