I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Hearing Jack's words made Anne pause immediately. She suddenly remembered about Aaron's words a few days ago when Jack mentioned about children. 

"Jack, I want to talk seriously to you," said Anne quietly.

"Say it, I hear you, Anne." Jack replied briefly to Anne's words.

"It's about Aaron. A few days ago, Aaron came to my apartment and asked me to marry him ..." 

"And then?" Jack said quickly cutting off Anne's words. 

"Don't interrupt me, let me finish talking," said Anne fiercely irritated. 

"Sorry, sorry. Please, continue talking, I'm listening." 

Anne took a deep breath and then started telling the stories from the beginning. Hearing Jack mentioned about children made her remember Aaron's earlier words that asked her to marry him. Jack, who had heard these words from Aaron before, did not seem at all surprised when she told him, even though he was actually very upset when she discussed about Aaron. However, because this was a matter of Anne's refusal to Aaron's proposal, he looked excited. 

"I don't want to give hope to anyone, Jack, be it Aaron or you. Therefore, I hope that you don't think too far. What happened to me in the past really makes me very traumatized by what is called a love relationship especially. I don't believe in things like that. For me, there is no such thing as true love or true sincerity from a man to a woman. I'm sure when that man approaches a woman, that man must have hidden intention that he had planned from the beginning when he approached the woman, because of that I… "

Squeak!

Jack suddenly slammed on his car brakes hard when he heard Anne's words. He looked very angry. 

"What do you mean by having hidden intentions, Anne?" Jack asked coldly. He was offended by what Anne said. 

"Yes, it's just like what Leon is doing right now. Look," said Anne quietly as she gave her cell phone to Jack.

Jack quickly grabbed the cell phone that was being held by Anne. He looked very serious when he read dozens of incoming messages from the same number. 

"Is this a message from the lion?" Jack asked briefly as he continued to read about forty incoming messages on Anne's cell phone.

"Yes, that's Leon's number. As I told you last night that I went to see him to start a game with him, and after that, as you can see for yourself, Leon keeps sending me the same message, asking me to meet him again with the excuse of wanting to give me the contract letter that he had revised. After seeing me dressed up and wearing sexy clothes that I never wore before when I was his wife, Leon became very aggressive and excited. I'm sure he's like that because he has evil intentions that I don't know," replied Anne at length.

"If you feel annoyed by all the actions of this stupid lion, don't continue your plan of revenge to them. If your actions actually hurt you even more, you better avoid them. Because, honestly, I don't support your plan, Anne, it's just because of you. I really want to make them feel what you feel, I can only support you. Even though in fact not all evil deeds can be repaid with the same actions, Anne, if you do actions like they did before, then what's the difference between you and them?" asked Jack again.

Thump!

Thump!

Anne's chest suddenly felt tight hearing Jack's words, she unconsciously touched her heart that was beating very fast. 

"Believe me, Anne, not all bad people will always smile and laugh, especially if that person's happiness is the result of stealing other people's happiness. She will surely be filled with guilt for the rest of her life wherever she goes, without you having to repay I am sure God must have rewarded her. them. Especially to Steffi who has betrayed you, "added Jack back. 

"I-I ..."

"Be honest with yourself, Anne, what do you really want? Do you want to continue to be involved in this relationship or do you want to let them go and let God finish the rest? It's all in your hands, Anne, you choose," said Jack again, cutting off Anne's words.

"I've given up on both of them, Jack. I've given up Leon to Steffi since the first time I knew they were having an affair in front of me. But as an ordinary human being, as a woman who hurts, it's not hypocritical if I want to see them suffer and feel what I feel, Jack. But sometimes when I'm alone and think about this, suddenly I feel uncomfortable doing all this. Like today, I feel disgusted by Leon, who kept calling me without the slightest embarrassment, even though he had clearly betrayed me and insulted me three years ago," said Anne quietly.

Jack was silent for a while after hearing Anne's words. He knew Anne was a good girl, it was just that Anne was still too innocent and stupid to learn to accept everything. Actually, he didn't blame Anne either, because from the start Anne had moved away from Leon and Steffi by going to England to start a new life. Only because suddenly she met these people again, an intention to get revenge from Anne arose.

"I have one way to calm you down and forget about them. At least, Leon and Steffi won't be able to reach you anymore, Anne," Jack said quietly.

"What?" asked Anne curiously.

"Marry me and move with me to Switzerland." Jack answered briefly and clearly.

Anne was silent when she heard Jack's words, her response was the same as when Aaron asked her to marry a few days ago. 

"I can't, Jack, I don't want to be disappointed and hurt again. I don't want to feel pain like that anymore. I've experienced so much bitterness when I was young that I lost the moments that young people my age experienced. I was divorced by Leon when I was so young, I wasn't even twenty years, while girls my age were enjoying their lives without thinking about the widow status that I have to carry at that time. I think you can find another woman, Jack, I'm not the right person for you," said Anne quietly as she looked sadly at Jack.

"Y-you don't have any feelings for me, Anne?" Jack asked stammered

"We're best friend, Jack. We've been friends for a long time. If I don't have a comfortable feeling and believe in you how could I possibly want to be friends with you," said Anne quietly.

"That's not the feeling I mean, the feeling of love. Don't you love me, Anne?" Jack asked back.

"I do not believe in love, Jack. I have not told you. I do not believe there is true love in this world, being alone is the right choice for me, Jack," said Anne briefly.

Jack's expression changed when he heard Anne's words, he looked very angry at this time. Even his fingers that were still on the steering wheel gripped firmly to show that he was really angry.

"Why, Anne? Why did you reject me? Is it because you wanted to accept Aaron, so you rejected me? I'm much richer than that damn Connery, Anne, I'm much more handsome than him. Why did you choose him from me?!! I've been by your side for as long as almost two years, Anne, haven't you seen my sincerity all this time?" Jack asked in a raised voice full of emotion. 

"I rejected his marriage proposal, Jack, I refused Aaron's proposal. I've even told Aaron who I really am, I've told you since a long time ago I don't want to marry, Jack. I don't believe in a marriage, I don't believe there is ..."

" Get out!!!"

"Jack …"

"Get out of my car, Anne, I don't want to hear your words anymore! You're really mean to me, Anne, you are a woman without feelings! You're cruel, Anne, you don't appreciate all of my struggles so far," Jack said quietly. His voice trembled as he held back the raging anger. He felt completely disrespected by Anne who he had been fighting for.

"That's not what I mean, Jack, I just ..."

"Get out, Anne, I don't want to hurt you. I'm afraid I can't hold back my emotions," Jack said, cutting back Anne's words as he looked down, his chest ached. Being rejected by the woman he had loved for two years had made him completely speechless.

Because Jack looked unfriendly, Anne finally got out of Jack's car. She then walked to her car which stopped behind Jack's car. When he saw Anne get out of the car, the driver, Jack's personal driver, immediately got out of Anne's car. He then greeted Anne in a friendly manner which was responded by a smile from Anne. 

After the driver got into Jack's car, he then drove the car at high speed, leaving Anne. 

"Sorry, Jack, I'm sorry. I don't deserve you, you deserve a woman who is much better than me," said Anne quietly as she touched her chest which felt tight, rejecting Jack was much more painful than when she rejected Aaron a few days ago.
