A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"How can I turn a blind eye to what's happening to you? You're stuck with Darren every single day and I'm sure he makes you miserable. How can I just let that continue in good conscience while knowing what he does to you? Please, just take my advice. If you have the chance, leave him as soon as possible. There's no reason to stay with him anymore." The thought of Bonnie being stuck with Darren greatly affected Emily. She honestly hoped that Bonnie would choose to listen to her.

"Emily, what are you talking about? I don't know anyone by the name of Darren." Bonnie asked in confusion while blinking her big, gorgeous eyes.

"I'm talking about the man who took you by force!" Emily was stunned when she heard what came out of Bonnie's mouth. It was bewildering to think that she was absolutely clueless about who Darren was.

"Are you telling me that Danny's real name is Darren? I've been calling him Danny ever since we met. He hasn't corrected me ever since," Bonnie casually responded. However, the thought that Darren had been lying to her from the moment they had met started creeping up her mind.

"Danny? It's Darren! That's always been his name. Gosh, I can't believe he even lied about that." At that instant, Emily realized how pitiful Bonnie's life truly was. As a result, she started to shake her head while thinking to herself, 'Poor Bonnie, she's been living in a lie for so long.'

"I can't believe it! That scumbag has been making a fool of me from the very start!" Bonnie's big eyes easily conveyed her true emotions. Feelings of both anger and sorrow started to fill her inside. Bonnie had a hard time accepting the truth, so tears started to fall from her eyes. It affected her so much that it was almost impossible for her to think clearly.

"It's fine, Bonnie, as long as you listen to me. Darren is a bad man and he doesn't think twice about deceiving young girls like you. Don't let him fool you anymore with his nasty tricks. Please, take my advice, Bonnie. Stay away from him at all costs."

Burdened with a hard decision in front of her, Bonnie had no clue what to do.

It wasn't unreasonable to think that after spending so much time with Darren, she had gradually developed feelings for him. Despite all her efforts to remain sensible, she had inevitably fallen in love with him. For her, leaving the man she loved was too great of a pain to bear.

"Emily, I don't think I can do what you want. Things are different now. I can't leave Darren just like that." Bonnie tried her best to speak normally but it was clear that she felt embarrassed by her decision. Her voice was so quiet that Emily almost didn't hear her.

"What do you mean things are different? Bonnie, please don't tell me you've fallen for that vile man?" Emily asked in disbelief. She couldn't endure seeing Bonnie spend another second with Darren so she added, "Trust me. He is not a good man. When it comes to men, he's the worst of the worst!"

Although Bonnie didn't nod along with Emily's words, she couldn't disagree with what she said either. The awkward expression on Bonnie's face told Emily what she didn't want to hear. Bonnie was head over heels for Darren and anything she said would be utterly useless at that point. Despite that, she still had to try something.

"Please, Bonnie, come to your senses! I can't let you believe that there's a happy ending for the both of you. Staying with that man will only cause you to regret it. And besides, he's a complete maniac!" Emily raised her voice and tried to sound as convincing as she could. It was her final attempt to persuade Bonnie.

Unfortunately, her words fell on deaf ears since Bonnie was still lost in her own thoughts. All she could think about was the fact that Darren had lied to her. The only thing she wanted at that moment was to confront him and ask why he had done so.

Please excuse me for now. Let's just talk some other time, okay?" Right after Bonnie finished speaking, she took her bag and left. She took off so quickly that Emily
