ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 69

Holley instantly turned deathly pale. She didn’t expect that George would learn about her fake pregnancy.

“How would you…?” Holley asked in frustration Before she could finish, George cut her off with a laugh. “You must be curious as to how I know about it, huh?” he asked.

Staring at a flustered Holley in contempt, he went on, “Come on, Holley, we had been together three years. Each time you get your period, you take pain killers. Last time I went to your apartment, I saw the painkillers on the bedside table. So I guessed that you weren’t pregnant and you were just trying to manipulate me and control me.”

Before Holley could react, he continued, “You made a deal with my mother to get the money and the company. But meanwhile you didn’t let me go. Don’t you think you are too greedy, Holley?”

“I asked Mrs. Obrien for money because I wanted to have a better life with you. I explained it to you. Don’t you remember?” Holly asked desperately, still trying to trick George.

“Shut up!” George yelled at her. “I am not a fool. Do you think I don’t know what you are up to?” He let out a laugh of disdain. “I was silly, and I believed whatever you told me. But from today, I will not believe a single word that comes out of your mouth.”

“George, I…” Holley stammered, trying to take a hold of his hand. George shook her hand off and told her in a gruff voice, “Please behave yourself. Don’t forget that I am Sula’s husband.”

“But you don’t love her, do you?” Holley gazed into George’s eyes. When George didn’t answer, she proceeded softly, “I know you married her because she got pregnant. You thought you should be responsible for her and the baby. I understand. We’re out of luck. When we were good, we couldn’t get married because of your mother. Now Sula is carrying your child. But I don’t blame you at all.”

Looking at George affectionately, she coaxed, “I will be your good mistress. I can’t imagine my life without you.”

“Is that so? But I don’t want you,” George shot back.

Holley was impressed by her actions and by George’s refusal. To get him back, she even offered to be his mistress. What was worse, he turned down her offer without hesitation.

On the other hand, George felt quite proud of himself for having decided to end his relationship with Holley, even claiming it as the most responsible decision that he had ever made.

As he was losing his patience, he gave his ex-lover an impatient look and declared, “I won’t repeat what I’m going to say a second time. So listen up, Holley.”

As Holley watched him, he started indifferently, “Our relationship was a mistake. I had wasted three years on you and I don’t want to continue this meaningless relationship. Since I chose Sula and married her, we should get our lives back on track. You and I are over. I will be faithful to Sula. She and I will have our first child. And we will have more. As for you…” George paused for a bit before he continued, “I don’t want a mistress. I don’t want you. So you’d better give up your stupid fantasy. I hope you will never bring this up again.”

“But you have no feelings for her, right?” Holley asked, her lips curling into a smirk. She still had no intention of letting George go.

‘George made himself clear to me, but I can’t give up like this,’ she decided.

“You slept with her because your mother drugged you. The beginning of your relationship with her was a mistake, wasn’t it? We were in love.

Did you forget the happy days we spent together in the past three years?”

“So what?” George couldn’t hide his bitterness on his face at the mention of their past together. He focused his gaze on Holley and went on, “I finally knew your true colors after we had been in a relationship for three years. You did nothing but lied to me. As for Sula, although our relationship started with a lie, I believe she will not deceive me again. She and I will live very happily. I have no doubt about that.”

“No, it’s not true,” Holley mumbled, shaking her head in disbelief. With a desperate look at George, she grabbed his hand tightly and started to beg him, “George, I really learned my lesson. As long as you don’t desert me, I promise that I will not lie to you again. Please come back to me.”

“Stop!” George shook her hand off and said in a disgruntled tone, “We are done. I don’t want to see you again. Stay away from me.”

George rose from his seat. Looking down at the stunned Holley, he continued to talk in a flat tone, “The shop is going to be closed. I’ve got to go. It’s late, so I will not drive you home. Take care of yourself.”

‘Those might be the last sweet words he said to me,’ Holley thought.

“You…” Holley stood up as she asked, “Do you really have no feelings for me now?”

Since his back was turned to her, she couldn’t see his facial expression. She waited for him to speak. After a long time, George let out a chuckle and said, “If I said I don’t like you at all, it would be a lie. But you and I will never work. So we should finish and move on.”

With a sneer, he continued, “Sula and I will lead a happy life. I am sure you will find your next target soon. So I will not bother myself to care about you.”

He was sure that Holley could still have a good life without him.

“Well, one more thing…” He paused, and then continued, “Sula and I are going back to Korea, so we won’t be meeting again. I guess this is goodbye.”

Then he started to head towards the exit, not giving Holley a chance to say anything else. Watching him walk away, Holley let out a heartbroken laugh. ‘It seems he’s dying to get rid of me. That’s why he decided to even fly back to Korea…’ she thought with bitterness.

She looked towards the entrance with a forlorn expression. She was aware that she and George would never get back together.

When the day came that George and Sula were to fly back to Korea, Holley went to spy on them from a distance. Seeing her ex-boyfriend bidding farewell to Sheryl, Holley was consumed with bitterness.

‘I have spent three years with him. I loved him with all my heart.

But I lost him forever. It’s so ridiculous, she whispered to herself.’
