Chapter Forty-Seven - Marcus's Past Catches Up
Cara was exceptionally quiet all the way to Marcus’s apartment. She couldn’t drive away the strange sense of dread that crept into her mind every time she thought of the uncertainties that lay ahead of her. Would she collide with Marcus’s mom again? Would she insult her again? Was this what she wanted in life?
“Are you having second thoughts?” asked Marcus noting the frown that marred her face. In the short span of a few weeks, she seemed to have forgotten the magic they shared together. He needed to fix that first, he needed to rekindle that magic again. Cara shook her head slowly, unable to tell him that she was dreading meeting his mom.
“No, why should I? Should we start working tomorrow? You have to guide me since this isn’t my forte.” She tried to divert his attention away from herself.

It cannot be labeled as immaturity. You had physical intimacy with my best friend behind my back while being engaged to me. I can’t forgive that,” he argued angrily.“So have you, Marky. You had more physical relationships in the last 2 years than I ever did,” she pointed out angrily.“Not while I was engaged to you,” said Marcus, banging his fist on the table and standing up. “If you don’t leave my room this instant, I will,” he said, striding out angrily.
