Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 500 You Can't Control A Human Heart (Part One)

'Molly, if it was a mistake to meet you then I'd be stupid to learn from my mistakes.' Brian thought to himself.

Molly froze when Brian asked her to divorce Spark.

She glared at Brian, "Never!" she snarled.

"Never? Really?"

Brian murmured as he dropped his gaze. He looked up at Molly, one of his eyebrows raised. Coldness emitted from him as he scoffed, "I don't want my son to have a slut for a mother." "Brian!" Molly growled, "Mark is my son and that's never going to change the same way I'm never coming back to you!"

She squirmed out of Brian's grip as soon as she finished talking. She was able to open the door with the intention of leaving when Brian suddenly grabbed her and pulled her back into the car. Brian pinned her down in her seat, his hands locked on her shoulders. She tried to get up only to be pushed back again and again.

Molly glared at Brian, her teeth grinding. Her eyes were bloodshot because she hadn't had a good night's sleep in so long yet they were filled with resentment and anger. She was just a simple woman who longed for nothing but stability and silence in her life. But Brian, this man, just wouldn't leave her alone. Even though she was starting to get a bit confused, she was very sure that she didn't want to get back together with him. She admitted to herself that she never would have the courage to confess to him again like she did that one winter night.

"Molly," Brian said coldly, "Let's just wait and see. You'll be back sooner than you think. Hmm. Or not."

Molly sneered at him, "Mr. All-Powerful, you have no power over me. You can't control me. You can't will my heart into doing as you wish. Now that my heart doesn't belong to you, I don't have a problem leaving you. And I'll just have to figure out a way to get away from you. So why on earth would you want me to come back?"

Brian felt his heart twist at Molly's words. With his face filled with disdain and his eyes fixed on Molly, he asked in a cold voice, "You really want to get away from me?"

"Yes," Molly replied without skipping a beat. She wasn't just throwing a tantrum - this was truly how she felt. She'd rather be alone than be with Brian.

"Why?" Brian asked before he could stop himself. They both froze instantly because Brian was just as surprised as Molly was at his bold question.

Molly's eyes were pained as she stared at Brian, tears starting to flow. Because even to herself, Molly didn't know why she didn't want to be with Brian. Was it because she wasn't strong enough or because she thought she deserved it? But Molly was sure about one thing: she didn't want to get involved with Brian anymore. Because Brian, there was no turning back.

"Because-" Molly opened her mouth, trailing off. Until finally, she said in such a quiet voice, "I love Spark and I don't want to leave him."

Brian's hands pressed against Molly froze at her words. He asked through gritted teeth, "Not even if it meant never getting to see Mark again?"

Molly grabbed the edge of her seat tightly as she glared at Brian, "I love Spark no matter what and that's never going to change. But you can't bring Mark into this. Can't just not see him, he's my son."

"Hmm," Brian jeered as he looked back at Molly's eyes, "Molly, I've never known you to be such a selfish woman. It's fine, let's see how you handle trying to get the best of both worlds. Out. Now."

"I'll leave," Molly sighed, "But Brian, if we didn't have Mark, we would just be familiar strangers. I don't care how powerful you are. You can't control everything as you wish and that includes what the heart wants."

Not even the most powerful person in the world can control what the heart wants.

Molly stormed out of the car, slamming the door behind her. Brian glanced at the rearview mirror to watch her walk away. He leaned wearily against his seat as he thought over what had just happened. Molly finally disappeared from his sight. Brian slowly closed his eyes. He was going to make the most out of this quiet and lick his wounds in private.

He thought to himself, 'She was right. Even though I can do whatever I want, the one thing I can't do is to control anyone's feelings. Not hers and not even mine. Molly, I never should have gotten to know you. But even if I knew it was a mistake, I still wouldn't change a thing. Even after all these injuries, I still wouldn't change a thing.'

***

Molly expected to replace Spark as soon as she left the parking lot but she didn't. She wasn't stupid and she knew that Spark had been secretly following her around the past few days. She looked around a second just to be sure. She dropped her gaze and started to walk back to her apartment.

Molly had tried to talk to Spark over the last few days but he kept hanging up before Molly could say anything important. Because as far as Molly was concerned, her marriage with him was over now that Mark was gone. She'd only agreed to marry him for Mark and she didn't want to hold the marriage over his head anymore now that there was no need. She wasn't worth his time or love, he was better somewhere else perhaps with someone else.

He already asked her before if she loved him or not. She did love him and she wanted to stay with him and nothing could match the feeling she had whenever he played "The Summer Breeze" for her. But she knew that he deserved better. She didn't want to hurt his career anymore and she didn't want Spark to get involved in her mess anymore. 000☐☐☐☐☐
