No Mercy, No Forgiveness

Chapter 4

“Maureen, has Geoff ever told you he loves you? He said that a lot to me back then…”

Listening to her, Maureen silently recalled those days she had spent with Geoffrey.

He’d never stepped into the kitchen.

When she fell sick, he’d never asked her how she felt.

As for love? Of course, he’d never said that word to her.

At night, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She’d loved Geoffrey for twelve years, always chasing after him. Only now did she learn that he had once loved someone else with the passion of a teenage boy.

All of a sudden, she realized it was time for her to give up.

She didn’t sleep a wink that night.

The next morning, Geoffrey came back. The way he looked at her was extremely cold.

“Just how much are you after my family’s money? You’d do anything just to keep me–your personal money–making machine–around, wouldn’t you?”

Puzzled, she didn’t know what he was talking about. She instinctively explained, “I never want your money.”

All she ever wanted was to be with him.

Hearing her reply, he smiled mockingly, “Noelle went to the office this morning, begging me to have a child with you. What was that about?”

She was dumbfounded.
