That night, I spent researching everything and anything that was to know about the corporation, to find perhaps a picture of Maryam but of course, everything was pristine.
That is until I stumbled upon the old news article about the death of Ace's father. In other words, no obstacles to making changes if they wanted to. If he wanted to.
Foolishly, I thought that his father was in the way was the reason for his complacency but now that he is not here, it was clear that his selfishness prevailed.
As much as I tried to be leveled with this news, it brought me a feeling of betrayal by Ace. Why didn't he do something?
Anything?
The boards were very much active, and the kill counts never stopped rising.
I pinched the rubber so hard against my skin that it broke. I quickly took another.
The more I read about him, the more the betrayal stung.
Smiling at charity parties, gala nights, and whatever he did do, while I had to suffer.
Was it foolish of me to trust him?
Can we ever be other than what we are?
