---- the wedding?" I was stunned, while Natalie turned five shades redder. "Can you stop messing with us, sir?" I asked. My leader simpered. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Still, why'd Natalie go red in the face?" She went three shades redder still. I looked at her. Three years was more than enough time to develop feelings for her. We just didn't have time to nurture it because the research was more important. The leader sighed. "Felix and Lorelei got married a long time ago. You should really get over it now, lad." That caught me by surprise, and then I smiled. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulder. "I have. It's been three years since the divorce." Another sigh from the leader. "Life's been cruel to her. " He then told me about Lorelei's story. A month after the divorce, Felix proposed to her. They got married quickly, and that should've been the end of it, but ---- when he found out Lorelei was terminated, his expression darkened considerably. "T got fired thanks to you, and I was hoping you could help me get back on my feet, but then you got yourself fired! What about my job? I can't believe I married some useless piece of shit!" Lorelei looked at Felix in disbelief. She thought the guy loved her from the bottom of his heart. "So, you only started going out with me to secure your job?" He rolled his eyes impatiently. "Obviously. Are you stupid? I'm not Jonathan. I'm not going to treat you like you're the best thing!" They got into a major fight after that, and Felix raised his hand against Lorelei. Crying, Lorelei called the cops, and he quickly went on his knees to apologize. He even slapped himself to prove how 'sincere' he was. "I'm sorry, Lorelei. I-I didn't mean to! I just... 1 ---- love you too much, so..." It was stupid, but she bought his story. She even gaslit herself into thinking that Felix only hit her because he loved her. In her words, she said, "There's a reason he only hits me! Because he loves me! That's his love language, don't you see? I know what you guys are up to! You're trying to break us up because you're jealous of our love!" Eventually, everyone just treated Lorelei's abuse as another Tuesday. They pulled all their help back and watched her life unravel from the sidelines.
