Our family may seem large, but after I'm gone, Mark will be all alone. His mother, as you know, is superficial and ignorant, and other family members are eyeing his position, he is the only one he can rely on when I'm gone so I'm not asking you to get back together, but I'm begging you let him be able to rely on someone else other than himself." She grasped my hand even more strongly and I could tell how much she cared for Mark and wanted his well being even after she was gone. "After I'm dead, please, do not betray him when he needs someone. Be the last person he can always rely on or run to." I swallowed, processing everything as Doris would wantto. I was sure this plea and request wasn't just for Mark. She didn't want the Torres nto go into oblivion. She didn't have to spell it all out, I knew that she was subtly pleading that I do not betray Mark by selling off my five percent shares-at least not to outsiders, When I divorced Mark, I had sworn to never have anything to do with him but today we're business partners and he is an investor in my company. He literally saved Luze Vogue from crashing. He might act like a cruel asshole but he wasn't really an asshole. Besides, with Doris alive, u should have known that I will somehow be forever tied to my ex-husband. It was a fate I could not escape no matter how much I tried.
