36 Man With a Plan

Marcella didn't want to stand there anymore. On the one hand, she was happy he agreed to her deal but on the other, he just confirmed that he had no feelings for her. She must be used to handling disappointments when it came to him but the more she experienced the disappointment, the more it hurt.

She didn't want to deal with him anymore and turned to leave.

"Marcella," Tony held her arm to stop her.

Marcella didn't turn back. He sounded very deep.

"It's not about the Codex. I…For years, I've loved~"

"No, Tony!" Marcella turned. Her eyes had turned red because of anger and she glared at him. The last thing she needed him to do was come up with excuses; whatever his reasoning might be. It hurt her for him to pierce her heart further by finding excuses. "Enough!" she clenched her jaws.
