IT'S A TRAP (JENNIE AND MARK FANFIC)

CHAPTER 15

-Mark POV-

The argument between Jennie earlier just makes me silent. It really shuts my mouth from keeping saying hurtful words to her. I...hurt her again. I told myself not to bully her. But, I make her heart hurt every time she is with me. I sighed as I walked outside to relax my mind.

"I didn't know it", I whispered and feel bad because of the misunderstanding that happen. Is it the reason why she agrees to marry me? Because her love story ends painfully than I ever thought. It must hard to fall in love again. But...she did give it try on me back then and I ruined it by betraying her. She is a kind woman, though.

"Mark, what makes you become like this? Why you are so greedy and selfish? You're not like this before. But why?", I asked myself and my heart feel so much pain. It reminds me of myself back then.

I was a filial son to my parents. They gave me what I want and they are great parents to me. But after my dad passed away, mom starts to change. She tortured herself and end up bringing me with her. I didn't blame her for the situation, but my life was so intense since I have to take care of everything about the big company and my mom that never took care of herself. As I said, she has been torturing herself and reflects it to me too. It was so tough. Everything slowly became better when I start to spend a lot of my time with her. Until one day, she told me about the secret marriage arrangement that my parents did. I was with Aera at that time, I told her, but she didn't agree with my decision which gets me so mad. I start to not obey her. That's when she provoked me about the property. At first, I didn't care.

But after my mom passed away because of her sickness, I feel that I need to protect the property because it's my right. But I'm still hesitant because I need to marry such an unknown woman instead of my girl. It is not easy for me too. It's hard. I refused to do it again. But one day, Aera told me the plan. With her plan, the two of us can be together and the property is also under my name.

"I should refuse to do that. So I will never hurt anyone, including myself", I whispered. The suffocating feelings keep growing inside of me. I should stop doing this thing. I should never hurt Jennie or Aera anymore even I have to end everything.

I walked to the hotel back. If I go to Jennie, maybe she will feel uncomfortable. So, I go to Aera's room. Before I walk through the hallway, I saw a guy enter her room which makes me shocked. I don't want to misunderstand about it, so I check the room number. It's right. It is her room.

I tried to eavesdrop on them. And that's when I finally found the truth that I wish it's not true.

"How can you never do a great job? Did you let that girl ruin the evidence? Don't you know I spend a lot on you?",  Aera yelled a guy with her.

"It's not that I'm doing it on purpose. She is coincidentally, there", That guy replied. She sighed.

"Come on Aera. Let's calm down. We still have many plans to go. And that's when you become the wife of that rich man. Don't you remember when you make him yours? It's just a first step to get him", He said.

"I waste too much time on him. I don't want him. I want his money and property. But yeah, thank goodness his mom died first so it's easier for me", She said. What I just heard, it's just not making me hurt. But, it feels like disappointment and betrayal. I never expect this from someone I trust the most.

"That's why you need to be cautious. His mom has already checked your background and identity. But I'm glad that rich guy never knows it", That guy replied.

"Hahaha yeah, by the way, she didn't know you were my people right?", She asked him.

"Of course not. She thinks of me as paparazzi", He replied.

"Good. You are not just my paparazzi, but my man too", She said seductively.

I stop hearing their conversation. I feel so angry. But I didn't get the evidence to punish her yet for what she's doing. So this is her plan. That's why it feels weird when she forced me to marry Jennie. You will wait and see, Aera.

I straight go to my room with Jennie. I know she will feel uncomfortable right now. But, she is the only person I can trust right now. I slowly opened the door. I looked at Jennie that already fallen asleep on a bed. I looked at her eyes, it is puffy. It's my fault to make her hurt so much. She is always sincere with me, why I can't do that to her? Mark, you are so stupid! What do you want from her? She is absolutely perfect girl. But maybe I'm not perfect for her.

I pulled the blanket and wrapped her. I stroke her hair.

"I'm so sorry for hurting you", I apologize sincerely. Looking at her makes me feel the pain. It's not because of the karma I've been receiving earlier, but seeing her like this, makes me realize my biggest fault and regret. My tears fall down. Jennie, maybe it's late for me to realize it, to grab the chance you always gave to me, but can I get that chance after hurting you this bad? Can I? Can I start again with you?

I stand up and take a pillow from the bed and sleep on the sofa. At least, staying with Jennie, always makes me feel comfortable and calm. She always like that. Why did I never realize that before?
