*MARCELO*

She seemed serious about wanting to talk to me so I crossed my arms and asked.

She moved closer to me and brought out a recording.

After getting married, you became Marcelo’s slave, a laughingstock in the social circuit.Naomi, all anxious, rushed to see you."Andrew’s words slithered in, injecting venom into my heart and squeezing the air out of me.“Renee,the truth is, you hurt Naomi!"Andrew had sought me out for this very reason,he knew what had happened from the start.It was no coincidence that he came driving around KM Group knowing I would come running out and that I would need a ride.Otherwise, how could there have been such a coincidental encounter where I happened to bump into him?My lips quivered as I asked, "How...

    *RENEE**You're such a prude,we've been together for more than a year yet you won't let me touch you.You don't have the right to blame me for having an affair with your sister!*Those words reverberated in my head over and over again.I had been with Andrew King for almost a year.Our union had started off as a blind date arranged by my parents.My parents badly wanted to be connected to the King family,the wealthiest and most powerful family in Chicago.I had found Andrew likable but I really didn't feel that deep spontaneous love for him but my parents had warned me that I must be with him and I must get married to him.We had been engaged and were to be married soon,just for me to walk in on him having sex with my sister.Granted,I had never done more with Andrew other than kissing but I felt he understood that I had wanted to wait until marriage.I genuinely felt that maybe then,I would fall deeply for him.Even if I didn't love him,his betrayal still hurt a great deal and he had the
