âWeâre at the entrance, but it seems weâve attracted a rogue,â Rosalynn quipped.
âA rogue? Are you two alright?â
The concern was palpable in Brianâs voice.
âWeâre fine.
Itâs a manageable situation.
â
With that, Rosalynn ended the call.
Lloyd, brimming with excitement, clutched Maggieâs hand.
âMaggie, Iâve made a terrible mistake.
Yana led me astray.
Once you left, she broke up with me.
Itâs only now that Iâve come to realize her ulterior motives.
My regret is consuming me.
I could slap myself.
â
Lloydâs face was etched with guilt.
Nonchalantly, Maggie shook off his grasp.
âLloyd, whereâs my money?â
His words rang hollow in her ears
Was it possible he didnât know Yana had intentionally stolen him from her?
Or was he simply exploiting the situation?
What a lowlife he was!
âMaggie, reconcile with me.
If you do, I swear Iâll treat you right.
From here on out, everything I own will be yours,â Lloyd pled.
Maggie scoffed.
âLloyd, Iâve made it clear before-Iâm not a waste collector.
I wonât take you back!â
âYouâ¦â Lloyd bit back his anger.
âMaggie, donât be so harsh.
I know youâre furious with me.
Youâve berated me, beaten me, and I even spent a few days locked up.
Canât you let bygones be bygones?â

Maggie eyed him frostily.
The memory of how he and Yana had nearly ruined her life caused her fists to clench.
Undeterred, Lloyd continued his unsolicited tirade.
âMaggie, remember how blissful we were together? Even if we werenât wed, we were the picture of a love-struck couple to the world.
You loved me, didnât you? Please forgive me and letâs start anew!â
Maggie looked at the unabashed Lloyd and internally cringed.
How did she ever tolerate being with such a man?
