Cecilia broke down in tearsâ¦
She wished for him to stop speakingâ¦
Pushing him away, she prevented him from continuing his advances.
Yet, Mark retrieved a box of condoms from the bedside drawer, as if determined to take things to the end.
Unable to bear it any longer, she slapped him across the face.
After the stinging slap, she buried her face in the quilt and sobbed bitterly.
Markâs face flushed with embarrassment.
He lay there despondently, covering his eyes with his palmâ¦
In the soft embrace of the bedsheet, Ceciliaâs graceful figure remained concealed, adorned with marks left by Mark just moments ago.
Tears welled in Ceciliaâs eyes, flowing down her cheeks.
Her emotions were a blend of sorrow and fear, intertwining within her troubled heart.
After a prolonged silence, Mark shielded his swollen eyes and spoke up in hushed tones.

âLeave after lunch.
Donât return here.
Listen, Cecilia, I no longer desire you.
â
With each passing moment, her sobs grew fainter, the pain numbing her spirit.
In that posture, she remained there for an extended period, slowly curling up once again.
She had no appetite, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone outside in such a situation.
Eventually, she mustered the strength to sit up and started dressing herself.
Though her hands trembled, she diligently put on her clothes, gradually getting out of bed.
Mark also rose from the bed.
Gently touching her elbow, he said with a hoarse voice, âGo have your lunch.
Afterward, Iâll arrange a car to take you to the airport.
â
In the next moment, she slapped his hand away.
Softly, Cecilia replied, âIâm fine.
I can manage on my own.
â
Markâs hand froze in mid-air, hesitating for some time before finally lowering it.
He wanted to say more but restrained himself.
It was for the best that she decided to leave.
