Your word through the mirror

Regret, foolery and caprisces

"'Madena? We'll go for you, just hang on for a while, we'll come and save you, and find a cure somewhere else, don't worry, your hair will grow back soon, and we'll do a makeover. Please wait for us, sorry if we're making you wait, your mum is looking forward to seeing you"' spoke the message from Madena's phone. She kneeled on the dungeon's floor and sat replaying the message, hearing Otavia's voice pleading with her all over again.

'Good morning, heiress' rang the ambassador's voice. Her childhood friend's voice was unbearable to Madena, and she wailed in fear, biting her weakened nails frantically. Marco walked towards her and hushed into her ear.
'Unfortunately, I think your hair treatment's going to have to wait. You have to confess, admit you tried to steal the drug, and we'll let- '
'Please, is there a way to the- minister, perhaps? I want to go, my friends need me'
'I shouldn't even be communicating this to you, I just wanted to see what had become of you. You should regret it, I thought I'd see you in bettering health, but when I got the news you were detained, I don't know... I expected decency from you, Madena'
'I'm sorry Marco, I'm sorry, I needed to be able to look at myself, I'm sorry, I didn't want to let my mum think I was in worse health, I'm already a disappointment without looking like a-  a boy'
'You look fine. Just confess, they'll bring the sentence down' he replied coldly, looking away from her and grabbing his things to leave.
'Marco! Don't let this get to the media! They'll start searching the house! Please! I can't let my family down! Do it for me! I beg you!' she peeped, sobbing and crouching towards him.
'I'll always do my best to keep Nova's image up' he snapped 'but not for you, you should've thought twice before becoming a fool'
_Was I a fool before? I can't always've been a disappointment. I shouldn't have done that. No, no! What was I thinking? Mum told me I could live with Marco when I started into the business, it was just three months! I could be living with him! Now I'm in jail, and I can't take it back_
