Kliapter 9
Frankie didn’t torment Sarah and Dalsy for too long.
But instead, I made them kneel down and apologize to my urn.
Afterward, Frankle left, and Sarah and Dalsy, whose hands and feet were untied, thought Frankie was going to let them go and excitedly wanted to run.
But as I turned around, I saw them just running out of the dungeon being hit directly by a large truck, and then repeatedly crushed, dead beyond death.
The Gerardo family not only had Frankle as their son, but on rare occasions when they had family gatherings, I could tell that they were also not on good terms both outwardly and inwardly.
Frankie gradually relinquished the power in his hands.
After arranging the company’s affairs, Frankie took my urn and found a burial place for me.
He was
wearing the same clothes as the day I first met him, looking innocent like a male college student. It was hard to imagine that he was a decisive and ruthless CEO, who acted with a firm and
merciless hand.
Looking at him now, I find it strange why Frankie wore such clothes and went to the bar to drink that day.
I thought that my doubts would never be resolved.
But as soon as Frankie sat down at my grave, he started rambling, “Jessie, I’ve actually liked you for a long time, longer than a year. I’m actually surprised myself how I could fall for a bartender who can be found anywhere in the bar. So, I took a long time to assess my own feelings, and I realized
that I truly love you.”
But I couldn’t be with you, the difference in our backgrounds is too great, and you would attract unwanted attention from all sides. Moreover, I have a marriage alliance and I haven’t been able to obtain the true power of the Gerardo family yet. I can’t bear to make you a hidden lover.
So, I decided to make a bet with that group of playboys and play a game. Finally, I got what I wanted and ended up being with you.
“I was very heartbroken to see you suffer, so I worked hard day and night, eager to take down the
Gerardo family as soon as possible. I also acted with Sarah in a play of proposing, anyway, her purpose of marrying me was just to gain control over the Gustavo family through the power of the Gerardo family.”
But I didn’t expect that Sarah would be so greedy, and I indirectly caused your death.
Jessie, you said I was stupid, but it’s okay. I will go find you now, begging for your forgiveness,
praying for a reunion in the next life.”

After listening to Frankie’s words, tears had already streamed down my face.
Forgotten memories resurfaced in my mind as I recalled the time when I started selling alcohol two years ago. At first, I was constantly being bullied.
Ever since a well–dressed and seemingly wealthy person came to my rescue once, my job as a bartender at the bar has been much smoother.
That person was Frankie, and it had been a long time since then. On the day when Frankie greeted me in a serious manner, he was dressed in an excessively youthful way.
I didn’t connect the two people at once, and I never even thought that they could be the same
person.
At that moment, I watched as Frankie, who had finished pouring out his heart, unsteadily walked out of the cemetery with Jessie. Unpleasant thoughts arose in my mind.
I wanted to tell him that I never blamed him, even though I knew he pretended to be poor to deceive me, even though I cursed him in my heart, but my love for him never diminished.
He was the only light in my limited life.

But he couldn’t hear what I said, and I could only watch him step the mountain until a truck crashed into him at the door.
I heard him say, “Jessie, I didn’t realize you were in so much pain back then.”
I saw Bruce appearing and Frankie was cremated. Bruce buried him beside me.
Apart from that, I couldn’t see anything else.
I was anxiously searching when suddenly a voice came from behind, “Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Frankie.”
I suddenly turned around and floated away, but then I stood still next to Frankie.
He said with red eyes, “Jessie, I’m sorry, can we start over?”
