After Canary Awakened, She Quitted

Everyone in New City knew that I was Marco's stand-in for his childhood sweethearts, Evelyn. But I was the only one who thought I had met true love.

I had been with Marco for three years and I became Marco's canary, bearing the stigma of being materialistic and dissolute.

Once Evelyn returned home, Abigail became a stand-in and the dream wedding became someone else's home.

When his father was in a car accident, Marco hugged Evelyn to celebrate.

I smiled, turned around and married someone else, wishing them a happy marriage.

But Marco regretted it and later he searched the whole world for my traces, but this time, I would not let him know where I was.

This was my best revenge.

"Miss Levine, your father is in critical condition now and needs surgery immediately. Please decide to pay as soon as possible."

I was a little surprised when I received the call. Since I became Marco's lover, I had a big fight with my father and I never thought that the news would be like this again.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

My hands were shaking when I hung up and called Marco. My father was my only remaining relative.

"Hello, your number is temporarily unreachable."

I kept hanging up and calling again. The long beep and the rapid heartbeat became slow. Marco didn't answer.

A voice came from the TV, "Recently, Marco Kennedy from Kennedy Group held a banquet just to make a gorgeous woman smile. According to insiders, the Kennedy Family and the Cyrus Family are about to get married."

Marriage? Marco was going to get married with Evelyn Cyrus. His face was cold. I didn’t know when tears blurred my eyes. I really wanted to find Marco to ask clearly, but my father's illness couldn’t be delayed.

I hurried to the hospital to deal with the surgery. The 79 calls to Marco still didn't get any response. I decided to go to Marco in person.

Marco never told me about her. Occasionally I saw some information from his mobile phone. I followed my memory to find the banquet hall. The voices of Marco and others came from the room.

"Marco, congratulations, you finally got your beauty after waiting for so many years."

"Marco, you are so domineering. When you propose, we will definitely be there to support you."

I felt bitter when I heard the conversation. I didn't expect Marco to have planned the wedding for a long time. I thought those things were prepared for me, but now it seemed like a joke, falling from heaven to hell.

"Yes, everyone is waiting to drink the wedding wine of Marco and Eve. They are childhood sweethearts, handsome and beautiful and they are a perfect match made in heaven."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense about the wedding, keep your mouth shut, otherwise there will be no surprise."

"I understand, but what about the school beauty, Abigail, if Eve knows that Marco found a substitute."

Marco's face changed instantly and his eyes warned everyone and everyone lowered their eyes and kept silent.

Eve, Evelyn Cyrus was Marco's childhood sweethearts, everyone said that they would get married after graduation during college, but Evelyn suddenly went abroad and I became Marco's canary. I thought I was Marco's firm choice, but in fact I was just his plaything when he was lonely, a captive substitute.

Those sweet words whispered in my ears were all lies. I felt my stomach churning and my hands trembled uncontrollably. I supported my body against the wall. It was the height of August, but I felt icy cold. My hands were tightly clenched and my slender nails dug into my flesh.

When Marco approached me and proposed a contract, I couldn't believe it. Why me? To this day, I still remembered the look in his eyes and the words he said when he looked at me.

"Don't belittle yourself. Not everyone can be the campus belle of Highscope University. So, Abigail Levine, can you give me a chance to take care of you? This contract is my sincerity. If you want to leave after three years, you can be free at any time."

Marco's voice came from behind me. He looked at me with complicated and tentative eyes.

"Abby? How long have you been here? Didn't you say not to go out? What if you encounter danger?" There was concern and worry in his eyes.

I held Marco's hand tightly, forcing a smile, "I just got here and received a call from the hospital saying my father had a car accident. I called you many times, but you didn't answer. I was a little worried."

Marco's expression became solemn and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, so fast that I couldn't see it clearly.

"It's my fault. I'll have someone take you back to rest." Marco took off his coat and wrapped me up. I felt a little warm and my heart, which was drowning in the water, regained its breath.

He looked a little anxious and couldn't wait to send me away. Maybe he didn't want Evelyn to know.

"Marco, let's get married, okay? Don't you always say that you don't feel safe? After getting married, I will only belong to you."

I urgently wanted to know the answer to verify my thoughts in my heart.

But I was disappointed. Marco paused, a flash of panic in his eyes quickly disappeared, "Abby, can you wait a little longer? The company has been a bit busy recently. Let's talk about it after the storm has passed. I can't ignore your safety."

Even at this moment, Marco was still lying to me, imprisoning me in the name of protection, so that I would never find out his true face and never appear in front of Evelyn.

The tempting candy, wrapped in fine frosting, is the most exciting and poisonous poison.

I closed my eyes and after the sweetness came the lingering bitterness.
