“Oh, come on. Don’t tell me you really think the man who slept with you that night was Roman?”
Susie laughed so hard she almost bent over. “I’ve known Roman since we were kids. Don’t you think I know what his body looks like?”
As Selena listened, her face grew paler and paler. Even though the sun was burning hot, she felt cold all over.
That’s right… the man from that night…
She had always thought Roman might just be stronger than she expected.
But now, after Susie’s cruel words, memories came flooding back. And suddenly, she realized that besides his build, the man that night seemed very different from Roman in many small ways…
“Let me tell you the truth!” Susie said. “You drank the wine I drugged that night. You were full of desire and couldn’t control yourself. So I kindly found two strong men for you. But who knew you’d be so stupid that you wandered into some stranger’s room and started acting wild with him…”
Susie’s voice dripped with disgust. “Roman is just too soft-hearted. He was afraid you couldn’t handle the truth when you woke up. That’s why he told you it was him that night.”
“You…” Selena was shaking with anger. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. She grabbed Susie’s wrist. “Why did you do this to me? Why? Haven’t you hurt me enough already?”
Susie was about to push Selena away. But when she saw Roman standing behind Selena, her voice suddenly turned sweet, and she looked pitiful.
“Sister, I know I was wrong. If you want to hit me or yell at me, do it to me. Don’t blame Roman…”
Selena froze for a moment. In the next second, Susie suddenly fell to the ground, as if Selena had pushed her.
“Selena! What are you doing…” A cold voice scolded her from behind.
Selena spun around in surprise and saw Roman standing there, his face emotionless.
Roman stepped forward and helped Susie up. “Susie, are you alright?”
Susie clung to him as if she would collapse without his support. “Roman, I didn’t mean it. I really know I was wrong… I’m so sorry for causing trouble for my sister…”
“Alright. I’ll handle everything,” Roman said, patting Susie’s shoulder. He guided her toward the car. “I’ll explain things to Selena.”
Selena stood there in shock, her mind blank, as Roman turned to her. She watched his lips moving as he spoke.
He talked for a long time.
He talked about how he and Susie had been childhood sweethearts. About how he struggled with his feelings for Susie.
About how angry he was when he learned Susie had framed Selena. About his shock and guilt when he found out Selena was pregnant. About how he finally forgave Susie.
At the end, he said quietly, “Selena, I’m sorry. I can’t marry you. It’s not because of what happened that night, or because of the child. But because I can’t let Susie down anymore. I don’t want to keep lying about my feelings.”
