No Mercy, No Forgiveness

“Ms. Ramirez, someone’s here.”

“Okay.”

Maureen hung up and turned to leave.

Then she saw a familiar figure at the end of the road.

Sean stood there in a perfectly tailored Italian suit, holding a huge bouquet of daisies. His straight frame remained motionless in the distance, gaze locked tightly on Maureen, unable to look away.

Maureen’s eyes flickered slightly but quickly returned to normal.

She walked in her high heels, step by step toward Sean.

Sean froze in place, the daisies in his arms suddenly weighing like gold.

He couldn’t snap out of it for the longest time, feeling everything now was just a dream.

Unlike Geoffrey, he’d long accepted Maureen’s death.

Today was Juan’s death anniversary. He’d come to mourn Juan for Maureen, seeking redemption.

But now!

Maureen wasn’t dead after all!

She’d just appeared before him, alive and breathing!

Sean’s emotions were beyond words. His mind raced, scrambling for something to say to Maureen.

Should he apologize first?

Or ask where she’d been all these years?

Or maybe…

But before he could decide, she walked past him without so much as a glance.

Sean froze.

He turned belatedly, only to see Maureen already sliding into her car. She told the driver softly, “Let’s go.”

Watching her serene profile disappear behind tinted windows, Sean stood transfixed until the Bentley pulled away. Finally shaking himself, he reached for his phone to call Geoffrey.
