In humiliation, Esmeralda's eyes widened as her face flushed.
"No, no, that's not how I planned on confessing," Esmeralda said.
Marco groaned and gazed at her with a solemn expression.
"I think it's best you stop wasting your time, Esmeralda. I love Maria, and no one can ever take her place in my heart,"
Marco stated.
She fought back the stinging sting in her eyes as a little tear formed. She felt very helpless. This was all true, no matter what she did or how hard she tried to deny it. Marco is madly in love with Maria. She saw it occasionally whenever she interrupted their dates, but she refused to accept it.
"But...you don't even know if she feels the same way..." Esmeralda mumbled staring at him with a crazy smile on her face.
"Yes, but I will be happy either way. As long as we're together... That's all that matters," Marco said as he averted his gaze.
