Love Began with the First Meeting

Her face turned ashen. Spark felt her sway and kept his right hand on her back to steady her. Molly looked at Brian's indifferent face and what happened on QY Island ran through her mind. She couldn't believe how quickly things had changed. The man before her looked like a stranger. Molly could no longer read Brian's thoughts. What happened to them seemed like a mockery now. She thought Brian still loved her, but she was wrong. Eyes red, she declared, "I don't care what you do to me. But you have no right to take Mark away from me. Please don't involve him in this whole business. I want to see him now!" Molly was now yelling at Brian. "Do you know Mark is my everything? I will do anything to protect him. I can't live without him. Now, you steal him away from me. He's sick. His body is weak. How could you do this to him? You are so cold and cruel!"

But Brian's expression remained inscrutable. He stood up and approached Molly slowly. She felt a powerful vibe emanate from the man that forced her and Spark to step back. His tone was sharp as he mocked, "Mol, I want to thank you for playing the love game with me these past several days. It must have been hard, but you did an excellent job. I have to commend you for being a good mom. Now, I want to see how much better you are as a mother. Please prove it to me," he challenged.

Molly couldn't read Brian's face. His words puzzled Spark. They couldn't make heads nor tails of what he was saying. So Spark asked, "What do you mean, Brian?"

There was a hint of a smile in Brian's mouth, but his expression remained aloof. He glanced at Spark's right hand which rested on Molly's back and ordered, "Let go of her."

Spark felt Brian's fury. The vibe from him was so powerful that the tension around them had become so intense. He let go of Molly. Clenching her fists, Molly said, "Brian, I'm not the only one pretending. Like me, you were also pretending. You did so much for me but only because you wanted to put me in a very awkward position. You wanted to make me look like a fool!" she said with disdain.

Brian was unmoved by her words, but he noted that Molly's countenance was more anger than sorrow. She thought Brian played her once again. He stroked the necklace around her neck, then touched the Firefly Stone that shone brightly there. With a smirk, he challenged, "I'm giving you one more chance to see if you will again fail in this love game. "You see, Molly, you never let me down because you fail again and again."

His words cut through her. It stung that Brian managed to play her again. Molly thought the man had changed, but she was wrong. The urge to slap him was so strong that she raised her hand and was ready to swing. But Brian was faster and caught her hand in a grip. He grabbed her wrist so hard she felt it would break. But no matter how painful it was, there was no cry of anguish from her. She would never show weakness in front of Brian.
