An Illusion of Love
Maverick Lloyd finally agrees to marry me after five years of dating.
We head to the hospital to tell my ill mother the good news. On the way there, Maverick receives a call from his true love. He turns the car around and takes me to a bar instead—his true love is short of people at the bar, so he tells me to help out as a bargirl.
When I'm being harassed and sullied in a private room, he's living it up with his true love next door. The hospital calls to tell me my mother's condition has worsened. I jump out of the third-floor window to get away.
However, when I arrive at the hospital, all I see is my mother's cold body. Meanwhile, Maverick's true love updates her social media.
"He appears before me like a hero whenever I'm in danger." It comes with a photo of her cuddling in Maverick's arms.
My heart dies. I take off my engagement ring and place it with my mother's body to be destroyed during the cremation.
Then, I like Maverick's true love's post. "I hope you two stay together forever. Don't ever harm anyone else."
