Facade of Love

Afterward, there was a long silence between Idris and I. It was too quiet, and I did not feel like talking, so I focused solely on driving.

“Is that scar from when you and Lucas fell off the cliff?” He suddenly asked out of the blue. I did not immediately grasp what he meant and responded instinctively, “Yes, and…?” Realizing what he was referring to, I frowned instinctively, about to say something, but his deep, cold voice came again. “For so many years, have I been nothing but a joke to you?”

I pursed my l*ps, remaining silent.

He let out a bitter laugh, self–deprecatingly saying, “A mistaken identity, protecting the wrong person, and then hurting you.”

“Mr. Young,” I began, my voice steady. “Everything’s in the past now. Saving you back then was only because I couldn’t abandon someone who was in the same abyss as me. I didn’t tell you later because I felt it was unnecessary. Even if it hadn’t been you that day, it would have been someone else. So, you don’t owe me anything. Moreover, when the Scott Corporation was in trouble, you and your grandmother helped us out, solving a critical issue for my father. We don’t owe each other anything.”

Taking a deep breath, I added, “As for the other things, you don’t need to feel indebted either. After all, I accepted the house and the money you gave.”

Holding the steering wheel, I glanced at Idris‘ right hand from the corner of my eye. The wound I had viciously inflicted was now healed, leaving only a pale pink scar where the scab had fallen off.
