A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The slideshow on the screen finally faded away.

Seething with indignation and anger, Leona cried out, "Who did this? Who!" With all eyes on her, eating away at her insides, Leona failed to keep her calm anymore. In her mind, every single person there was deriving pleasure by making a mockery out of her.

Out of desperation, when she rushed to see Magee, she found him standing in one place, still unnervingly calm. It was almost as if he did not care about what had just happened. His cold-hearted indifference stabbed at Leona's bleeding heart.

'Why isn't he saying anything?' Leona wondered.

She would rather have him question or confront her instead of abandoning her with cold, harsh apathy.

"Magee, listen! I can explain this! Magee..." implored Leona. Leona stood in front of Magee, almost down on her knees, as the last glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes, waiting for his response.

Magee cast a cold glance at her helpless eyes and remained silent. Instead, he turned to the guests and apologized, "I'm sorry for what happened just then. I declare this engagement dinner canceled until further notice."

Everyone acknowledged Magee's apology in silence, and not one person said anything in Leona's defense.

After all it was Leona who cheated on Magee before their marriage. How could anyone stand such a betrayal? It was only natural that this engagement dinner was canceled.

The only positive outcome of this was the fact that her infidelity was discovered before their wedding. If not, a scandal such as this could have been disastrous to Magee's reputation on a much grander scale had they already been married.

Dumbstruck, Leona shook her head in disbelief. Leona's face was stuck in an incredulous expression and she said, "What? What did you say? No! I won't let you do this! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Cancelled? How could you..."

"Well? Do you think I will still marry you after this?" he asked.

"Magee! Don't believe these pictures! I was framed! Trust me!" Leona incoherently explained, "I know who did this! It was that bitch! It must have been her!"

The next moment, she turned and rushed towards Emily. The flames in her stomach rose up to her chest and crawled through her veins to take over the rest of her body. She was going to kill Emily!
