"Fine, from now on, I’ll stay out of your business," I declared.

"Is that a threat? Let me tell you. No matter what you do, you’ll always be a loser to me!"

Adrienne's face contorted with anger. Perhaps it was in her wildest imagination that I would say something like that.

Without getting my response after a long time, she put on an expression which invoked sympa-thy from others.

But I was aware of her true colors. There was a devil behind her facade!

With this in thought, I sneered mockingly, "Haven’t I made my point clear to you? What’s up? Can’t you even understand English?"

Adrienne had been proud. Especially after we got into college and I confessed my love to her, she had been acting all mighty and high in front of me. She was convinced I wouldn’t be upset with her no matter what she did.

Facing my defiant demeanor, she couldn’t stop trembling and her face drained of color due to fury.

"James, remember what you said. Even if you beg for my forgiveness, I won't have a change of heart," she seethed.

Begging for forgiveness?

I laughed out loud as if I had heard a big joke.

Now that I had my life to do over, I was dying to cut her off.
