Played by Fate (JenLisa Fanfic)

Chapter 43

Marco's POV

"Bullshit!!!!" I hurled the pencil holder that was place on my office desk.

I don't know but I think my wife was right. My presence is not needed in our home anymore.

I wanna end my life.
Seeing my daughter crying as well as my wife is the worst feeling.
It's like the whole world hates me, even me? I hate myself.

"Stupid! stupid!" I slammed my hands on the desk. While the tears I'm avoiding, falls down continuously.

I cursed myself for letting this things happened.
Prioritizing my company over my family? How irresponsible father I am.

"You can have me as your CEO without doing that!"

I remembered what she uttered earlier.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry my baby." 
I caressed my temple to make myself calm. My head is bursting in pain.

Selfishness.
Rude.
Useless.
Irresponsible.
Good for nothing.
I didn't deserve to have such a family like that.

I turned the lamp off to remove the light of the whole office. I don't know but I wanna hide. I don't want others to see me and my face. I don't want to see myself like this.

"This is my fault, I deserve this." I let myself accepted the fact that this happenings was rooted from my greediness.

I was totally in my anxious state when suddenly my phone rang.

I am not sure if I am in my state to answer calls. I wanna be alone and think what did I do to my own family especially to Lalisa. I want to face this, I don't have the right to complain.

But then my phone continue ringing.

"Wtf?" I rustledm

I deflected my sight to my phone's screen and saw Kai's name.

Kai?
Oh, the one who I deal with to marry Jennie so that Lisa could forget her entirely.

I held it with my hands trembling.

"Hello?" I discourse

"Mr. Marco? I need your help." He 
responded.

I know what he is talking about.
He wants me to help him in getting back Jennie Kim.

"Why?" I played innocent.

He sighed.

"Look Jennie Kim broke up with me, I- I cheated on her, b-but I'm eager to win her back you know." Kai explained.

"You want her again for the reason that you love her or because of my support in your investment in every company around the Korea?" I uttered.

"Of course I only want your financial support. You know I only date Jennie Kim because of you, because of your money" He laughed

"I am willing to get Jennie Kim back just continue your support in my investments." Kai added.

Another selfishness.

I didn't expect that I did this.
But not this time, I don't want to take that smile again from my daughter.
I won't let that happen again.

"Look, Mr. Kai I think I we should stop this contrive." I burst out.

"Wait? What?" He said in disbelief.

"I don't want to take Jennie Kim away from my daughter. From now on, I'll cut our communication off. I don't give a damn with your investments anymore." 

"Woahh, Mr. Marco you're kidding right?" He's not convince.

"She's my daughter's happiness,l and from now on, I will just let them or more, I will support them." I imagine Lisa smiling because of contentment.

"This is not right! I will not let them be together! We had a deal!" He said in clamorous tone.

"I will not let them be together!" He marked.

"Don't you dare mess up with them or in my whole family if you really love your life and don't you dare shout on me, you're just a fucking investor I picked up somewhere." I warned him.

"Get out of our lives and leave with your money!" I hang up the phone.

I crumpled my eyes because I'm trying to overcome my anger. I took a deep breath.

"Time to make things right." I whispered.

I know I did the right thing.
I don't wanna see them crying again and suffer because of my selfishness.

I'm her father, I should be protecting her from pain and misery.

I rested my elbow on my desk and let my eyes roamed around.

It made me stop when it landed on the picture beside my table.

I smiled and held it.

"Let me make it up to you this time." I caressed the picture of my daughter.

"Let me correct the wrong things I made. Let me be with you and your mom." I sob.

This is not me, the Marco I protected for years wasn't weak as I am right now. I don't even dare to cry and to surrender. Everybody knows me for being an strict and heartless one, even my daughter.

I will change myself for them.

*Knocking* 

I was taken by the knocked and shove me to put the picture frame back to its place.

"Come in." I permitted.

I settled myself and fixed my appearance.

Then the door open.
Revealing the agent I hired to watch out for Lisa.

"Good evening Mr. Marco." He closed the door and bowed.

"Good evening" I greeted back and he agitated closer.

"I heard Ms. Lalisa visited your mansion with Jennie Kim, so are you two okay Mr. Manoban?." I was outrage with his question.

What to answer?
Fuck.

"Your job will end up now. Lisa knows everything I did. I don't think she will manage the Manoban group after what I did to her and to Jennie Kim's Family." I regretted.

"But what about your heart disease Mr. Marco? What if it gets worst? What will happen to the Manoban Group if that happens?" Yeah, this man knows everything.

I sighed of disgrace. What will happen to the company?

"I don't know. You know that this illness pushed me to do those selfishness. I- I don't want to neglect the Manoban group." I said in downcast tone.

I built this for my whole entire life and sacrificed everything to make it successful.

"What if you just tell Ms. Lalisa about your illness? I'm sure she'll understand you. Besides you are her father" He suggested.

Understand?
Believe?

I let out a small laughed. "I don't think she will believe me, after all the lies I made." 

This is my fault.
I should take all the consequences.
I'm really stupid.
