Let's Get Married

Rex’s eyes are closed and his voice is quivering, “I thought I could never see you again.”

The woman takes a deep breath. She doesn’t push him away, instead, she says, “I’m back now, isn’t it? There will only be just the two of us in the future. No one else could ever come between us, alright?”

As if saying once isn’t enough, the woman repeats, “Just the two of us.”

Rex immediately becomes sober when he hears the last sentence. Lily would never say anything like that. Never. This sounds like a more deliberate, extreme, and selfish statement.

This is not Lily!

Rex opens his eyes and pushes away the woman in his arm, regardless of who she is. He turns on the switches and the living room is immediately filled with lights. This allows him to see who this woman is.

Marina was caught in surprise. She got pushed away and fell on the stairs on the entrance. Her surprised expression is still all over her face when she looks at the sober man. Obviously, whatever she’s planning failed.

“R-Rex, what’s wrong?”

When Rex sees her face, all emotions mix up. He couldn't stand her appearance. He is the reason why Lily left but she is also one of the culprits.

“What are you doing here?” Rex frowns with a disgusted look on his face. He even takes off the coat where she had her hands on and looks at Marina as if she is trash from the roadside, “You’re disgusting.”

Disgusting?

Marina’s pale face turns even paler when she hears Rex said that. She just got off from the hospital today and she comes to visit him right away. She doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. Although she knew Rex didn’t really like her but disgusting? It’s a pretty strong word to use on her.

lights from the top shine upon the woman’s face. What a ghastly face! It seems like it’s been destroyed by sulphuric acid and all features of the face are ruined. Flesh from the jawline connecting to the neck, red scars on the forehead, and the place where the nose should be, is left with only two hollows of different sizes. The place where the lips should be is swollen and they are no longer identifiable. The eyes, on the other hand, are the only normal and functional features
