Embrace Love's
Ch 108's. Apologise

"You ready, my dear?" serge knocked on Marylin's room door and waited.

"Yes ...." The door opened a moment later, and Mary appeared in a black dress.

"Ah, beautiful as always, my girl is so charming" Serge praised.

"Is it fit? According to the place you said it was?" ask Marylin. Serge told him to dress up and wear a fancy party dress, because according to Serge, the restaurant located on the top floor of the Premier Building tower is a restaurant that is visited only by certain groups with certain classes.

Marylin frowned and became a little displeased to hear Serge's description of the place. Somehow he prefers to meet Alric at a regular cafe like the one near their apartment. But of course the arrogant Billionaire would not agree.

"It's a perfect fit, honey. We're very compatible" Serge smiled and extended his hand to Marylin.

Marylin smilingly looked at Serge who was wearing a black tuxedo.

"You look very handsome too" said Mary.

"Of course, Mary. Sergio Eneas ... is ready to serve you," he said elegantly. Making a smile on Mary's lips.

"Ah, you're finally smiling. That's how it should be, honey. Don't be tense and don't be afraid. I'm with you." Serge patted the back of Mary's hand that circled his elbow.

Mary nodded and stepped with Serge. Trying to suppress his fear and displaying a calm face.

**********

Alric suddenly felt his hands sweat when he saw the figure of Mary and Serge who came to the table he ordered with a restaurant waiter.

Alric and Diego immediately stand up when Mary and Serge arrive. Alric reached out a hand that only Serge greeted, the two men shaking hands. Then his hand was ignored as it stretched out toward Mary. The woman simply stared with a flat face, not intending to welcome her outstretched hand.

Alric smiled, then pulled his hand back.

"Please sit down" said Alric.

Serge pulled out a chair for Marylin, and the woman sat down. The look on his face was calm, yet in his heart rumbled with pain when he saw Alric's face.

"Thank you for coming and seeing me, Marylin ...." Alric began, looking at Marylin's calm face. Thin makeup makes the woman look more beautiful. The elegant black dress wrapped up Marylin's body, making Alric look at her in a different way after the grudge in her heart was gone.

Dinner was served later, but Marylin did not touch him at all. Serge finally makes a decision to speed up the meeting so they can go home.

"I think it's best you express your intentions now, Mr. Lucca. So Mary and I could go home sooner" Serge said.

Alric nodded, understanding that Marylin was starting to feel uncomfortable.

" Serge, can I talk to you for a second? In there?" Diego asks Serge to follow him, giving his master time to talk to Mary alone.

Serge glanced at Mary, then decided to agree to Diego's invitation after seeing no response from Mary's ban.

"Well ..." the two men left Alric and Marylin to talk. They stepped towards the corner of the room towards the bar table, then sat on the high chair that was there.

Diego and Serge immediately mentioned the drink they wanted to order. Sipping their drinks, their eyes watched the table where Mary and Alric were clearly visible but could not hear what they were talking about.

Marylin glanced at Alric at a glance, then her eyes turned to the outside of the glass. Their table is on the edge of the glass, presenting a beautiful view at night. Thousands of flickering lights flickered in the dark of the night, all of them small in sight from the height where he was sitting right now.

"Did Serge say what I wanted to see you, Marylin?" ask Alric.

Marylin glanced with her blue eyes, not denying that the man opposite her seat looked handsome and dashing with a formal dress that must have been sewed by a skilled professional.

"Yes" Mary replied briefly. Alric seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief. Since then, he had heard a word from the woman's mouth.

"I'll tell you directly ... I apologize ... regarding the kidnapping and all that you experienced in the Cougar mansion ... especially ...." Alric stopped talking when he saw a glint of pain running through Mary's face.

"I know my actions are unforgivable. Sorry not to change what you've been through, not to reduce your pain .. But still for me, I need to do it, need to do it ... Or I won't be able to live quietly ...."

Silent, there was no response and no reply from Marylin. But the woman had now focused on staring at him, no longer looking towards the scene outside the glass.

"I'll do whatever you want in order to ease the suffering I've caused for you. I know I'm not forgiven, but still .. I want to apologize Marylin ...."

Marylin then lowered her head, a flash of memory again tormenting her mind, as she recalled what Alric had done on the cold floor of the Cougar mansion's working room. The pain was again felt in the wound of his heart that had not completely healed.

"I will take responsibility ... Whatever your wish. If you want me to go to jail, then I'll take it, if you want compensation ... in any form .. I'll give it to you too."

Marylin narrowed her eyes, attracted by Alric's remark on compensation of any kind. Very curious to know what the real meaning of that word is.

"In any form .. try to explain anything for example Mr. Lucca," Marylin said calmly.

Alric paused for a moment, puzzled over the choice of words. The experience with Catalina made him avoid saying the word money or any luxury objects that lead to compensation in the form of objects and possessions. Catalina took offense and said she tried to buy an apology from her brother. Alric did not want Marylin to think the same.

"Why are you quiet, Mr Lucca? What do you mean ... I can ask for money, or anything I want?" ask Marylin.

"If that's what you want, Marylin .." replied Alric.

"And one more ... About your mother .. My doctor recommended a best treatment place. If you'll allow it, I'll move it."

Marylin immediately remembered her mother. The long-term care that her mother needed meant that Mary had to work out a budget and seek care classes that she could afford. He moved his mother when he got a contract with Bernard's company. But certainly not the best. But it is better than what he was able to provide first.

"Do you need time to think about it?" ask Alric.

Marylin shook her head, her heart still hurting reminiscing about the man's actions. But at least, he saw sincerity in Alric's eyes, it seemed like the man was truly sorry.

"Away through? Or is there something else you want to say? Because I want to go home" Marylin said suddenly.

Alric took a deep breath, there was no answer whatsoever from the woman, a request or wish as his apology was accepted.

At least I apologized, and at least he wanted to hear it. Inner Alric, feeling a little relieved.

"One more, Mr. Lucca ... Have you apologized to Serge? " ask Marylin.

"Serge's? Oh ... that ...."

"Yet? Then call her here, and tell her you're sorry for her, just like you told me. You kidnapped and locked him up, too ...."

Alric smiled, then tried to melt the atmosphere by joking slightly at Marylin.

"You really love Serge yeah ... It's been years since Alexandro's case, you're still with her today."

Marylin looked at him flatly, then glanced at Serge.

"Why don't you just get married?" alric asked with a small laugh.

Marylin smiled back with her eyes fixed. Somehow his emotions seemed provoked to hear a curious tone from Alric.

"That's none of your business, Mr. Lucca ... I'm telling you to apologize to Serge. Not talking about our personal relationship ...."

"Sorry, no offense ... I'm just a little curious."

"Curiosity can harm you, sir ...."

The threatening tone in Marylin's words provoked an amused smile from Alric. He was further provoked by Marylin's emotions.

"What does this have to do with the youngest Bernard?"

"You mean?"

"Well .. You had a son with Simon Bernard while you were still with Serge. Didn't they? Serge's still with you till now, which means he forgives you, doesn't he? Then why don't you just get married?"

Marylin let out a dry laugh, "you don't understand the meaning of the word none of your business, Lord Lucca!"

"Sorry," Alric could not help his grin when he saw Marylin's annoyed face.

Rrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Marylin suddenly threw the contents of her drinking glass until it ran out toward Alric's face. His blood rose when he saw the man grinning.

Alric closed his eyes as the liquor drenched his face, then dripped down to his chest, drenching his elegant expensive suit. Then slowly he opened his eyes, looking down at the stains on his clothes while rubbing his face.

Marylin smiled cynically, "what a pity your expensive suit, Lucca! I hope it can't be fixed anymore" he said cynically.

Then Marylin got up, stood up casually as she passed towards Serge's place.

"Serge, let's go home ...."

"That's ... Why?" ask Serge curiously.

Marylin did not reply, just turned around and left first. Serge grinned, then said goodbye to Diego and just waved at Alric.
