Rayna bit her lips and did not say anything but her hands clutched Jimmy’s leg tightly and her face streaked with tears.
I did not have any intention of watching this vicious drama. I just let Jordan hold me because I wanted to leave.
Seeing me leaving, Jimmy finally snapped and did not care about anything. He kicked Rayna aside and stumbled toward me.
With bloodshot eyes, he grabbed my hand tightly and refused to let go. His voice was laced with desperation when he coaxed me, “Debbie, I know I was wrong. Come back with me and we’ll get our marriage certificate
right away, okay?”

“We can even have a wedding here, out of
our country and then we’ll do it however you want back home, too. Isn’t that what you always dreamed of?”
I looked at his broken expression with complicated eyes while trying to suppress a wave of nausea.
“Jimmy, what makes you think I’d still want to marry you? I don‘ t feel anything for you anymore,” I asked. “To be honest, seeing you just makes me sick. So please, do us both a favor and leave me alone.”
Jimmy shook his head stubbornly. His hoarse voice thicked with pleading, “Debbie, don’t do this to me, okay? You’ll break my heart. How could you not love me? You even lost a leg to save me. Can you really walk away from that?”

I peeled his fingers off my arm, one by one, my tone was cold and unrelenting, “It is precisely because of that, I could never love you. You‘ re nothing but a thankless, heartless ingrate man. You don’t have the right to have me. So, do yourself a favor and get lost before I call the police.”
I would never expect Jimmy would lose his temper and as he pointed at Jordan and said in a loud and bitter voice, “Do you think he cares about you? He’s only interested in your family’s money! You‘ re just a cripple, Debbie. Who else but me would ever want you?”
When he heard that, Jordan, who had been silent all the time, couldn’t hold back anymore. He stormed forward, grabbed Jimmy by the collar and punched him

squarely in the face.
“I’ve been dying to do that. Do you think everyone is as vile as you? She might have lost a leg, but she’s more complete and beautiful than people with two good ones. Only a blind fool like you would fail to see that,” Jordan sneered.
“Also for your information, who are you to say I’m only after her money? “Do you even know who I am? I could bury you in money if I wanted to.”
This time, it was my turn to be stunned.
Jordan released Jimmy, then turned to look at me. He gripped my hand with an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Debbie. Your father initially wanted to arrange a meeting between us, but he thought you would be

uncomfortable with it, so he asked me to approach you as a company Vice President instead.”
“I’ve been by your side these past months and I genuinely think you‘ re perfect. I don’t want to miss out on this chance. Can you forgive my little white lie?”
With everything laid bare, what else could I do? I looked into his sincere gaze and gave a slight nod.
Jordan was so ecstatic as he pulled me into his arms.
Watching this unfold, Jimmy, now pale and desolate, struggled to get to his feet and lunged toward me However, he was held in place by Rayna who clung tightly to his legs.

He could only watch helplessly as Jordan held me and we calmly walked away.
As Jimmy reached the edge of sanity, he lost control and violently kicked Rayna, causing her to scream as a large pool of blood spread beneath her.
I did not turn to look. Jimmy’s fate was not my
concern anymore.
Not far off, the sound of police sirens filled the air.
A bitter smile played on my lips.
All the toxic people and memories needed to be left behind.
As for myself, I was ready to embrace a beautiful future.
