Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 225

Marcus, feeling lost as hell, lit up a cigarette, and the more he puffed, the more his head spun.

The more he tried to figure out how to make his marriage with Cornelia work, the more clueless he felt.

People had been teaching him how to do business since he was a kid, and he had a knack for it. He'd never failed in his business ventures, and because of that, everyone considered him a big shot in the business world.

But no one ever taught him how to hold a marriage together. He wasn't some love guru. In the face of common marital problems that most people could handle easily, he was like a kid lost in the woods, not knowing where to start.

He gazed up at the moon in the sky, and a memory from years ago popped into his head.

He couldn't remember how old he was when it happened, but he remembered clearly that his mom was with a man he didn't know, and he walked in on them.

He was too young to understand that this was betrayal or infidelity, but he knew it wasn't right.

He tried to kick the man out angrily, but the man provoked him by pinching his face and saying, "What can you do, you little runt? When you grow up and get tough, then come find me."

He was so pissed off that he bit the man, who in turn tossed him aside, hurting him badly.

His mom, Courtney Kamp-Hartley, was there but did nothing to help him; instead, she blamed him for messing up her plan.

He never forgot that man's words, found him when he grew up, and in a short time drove the man's company to bankruptcy.

The man couldn't handle the hit and tried to off himself, but ended up crippling his legs instead.
