Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles' POV: 

Scarlett's grievance caused me so much heartache that I felt like a swarm of wasps were stinging my heart.

After she left, I walked to Rita with a cold glance in my eyes.

"Why did you go to see Scarlett? If you could not take care of things on your own, then I would have helped you."

"Charles, what are you even talking about? I don't understand.I consider her as a part of my family."

Rita looked flustered, but it was obvious that she knew what I meant.

She was a smart woman, but her cleverness was used for the wrong things.

"Since when did you become so close to Scarlett? You did not treat her like family when you caused trouble for her, did you?" I sneered.

"I...I have realized that I was wrong before.I was blinded by jealousy, but now, I understand that Scarlett is a good person, so I wanted to invite her to our wedding..."

"That's unnecessary."

I interrupted her with a frown.

The way she nagged people all the time disgusted me.

"What...What do you mean by that?"

Rita stammered as she held onto my sleeve.

I pulled my arm away, lit a cigarette, and slowly took a drag.

"The wedding is canceled as of now, and as for your last wish, I can compensate you in other ways."

"Charles!"

Rita snapped in disbelief.

Looking at her shocked expression through the screen of smoke, I felt very calm.

"Rita, thank you for saving me back then, and I will try my best to satisfy you monetarily.But if it's a relationship you want from me, then I am sorry.I can't give you that.I'm a selfish person, and you have already trampled on my bottom line."

"No! It's not like that.Charles, please don't call off the wedding.I apologize, and I swear I won't piss you off ever again."

Shaking her head, she pleaded me with tears in her eyes.

"Enough, Rita.Don't embarrass yourself." I pulled away coldly.

"It's all Scarlett's fault.That bitch! If she hadn't intervened in our relationship, then you wouldn't have changed your mind.She is the one to blame! She is the third party!"

Rita suddenly became hysterical.
