Something on you

Marco’s Pov

“No, Jessica, I do not have the money to give you now, in fact, I do not have any money to give you, what is your problem? Can’t you understand?”

Jessica had called me to request for money again, she was scheduled to go to the hospital, but I had no money to give her. I knew it was my responsibility, but she was being too hard on me.

The phone went silent, I could hear nothing but her rasped breaths.

“Por favor mi amor, I promise I will send you money as soon as I can, but for now, I am completely empty. That Hera girl is a liar, I have done everything she said, but she has refused to pay me.”

“Then stop doing what she says!” Jessica’s tone was sharp and stern, but I couldn’t understand how she expected me to get the money if I stopped working for Hera.”

“But, my love, we need the money.”

“Yes, we do. Look, Marco, I’m not saying we should give up on the money, I’m saying you should stop being a puppet to that little English girl. She’s using you, Marco,
