The Outstanding Mark Thompson With The Face Smacking System

Chapter 001 – A Loser?

*****

“This… this…”

The flower that Mark bought to surprise his girlfriend fell from his hand and he felt as though he was going to faint from excessive shock.

Blood rushed to the back of his head in a blink, and his eyes almost rolled to the back.

Mark, who had been working really hard at a construction site, doing all the most strenuous and life-risky jobs to save enough money for a month refused to accept that the lady whom he had done it all for was the one presently in an intimate and sexual position with another man right in the apartment he had rented for her.

“Re… Rebecca?” Mark finally forced out with a shaky voice that didn't sound like his after a period of refusing to accept the reality before him.

His mouth was extremely heavy as he prayed fervently in his mind that he had only seen wrongly.

However, as soon as his voice sounded, the lady who was straddling another man on a couch before Mark, kissing him and acting as though she wasn't able to get enough of him was startled to her senses.

She hurriedly jumped away and swirled around in shock, breathing at the top of her lungs.

Her face instantly deformed with stupefaction when she saw Mark. "How... how... what are you doing here? Didn’t you say that you will only be returning tomorrow?”

Rebecca asked, her heart pounding heavily in her chest while she became slightly uncomfortable, but Mark didn’t react. No, he couldn’t react.

His heart had literally stopped working at this moment, seeing how disorganized his usually pampered girlfriend was, with her still tomato-red face, a result of the action she had been performing with the other man.

Mark felt his entire worldview shatter in a blink.

“You… you… you are cheating on me?” He ultimately let out the difficult-to-accept question.

A guilty look directly crossed Rebecca’s face, then she dared not look at Mark in the eyes again.

'How... how could this stupid fool catch me?’

She gradually became regretful after a moment of stupefaction.

Although she really wasn’t bothered that she was caught red-handed as she had stopped loving Mark a long time ago given how poor he was, she still didn’t want to lose him just yet; he was still useful to herself and her mother.

Rebecca’s brain began to work with the speed of light, thinking hard about what excuse to give Mark when suddenly, the not-handsome and short young man whose age was close to both hers and Mark’s, but appeared several times older stood up with a scowl on his face, making him uglier than he already was.

“What’s going on here and who’s this filth?” He inquired darkly.

Rebecca was startled again once she heard this question and a stronger nervousness overwhelmed her as she recalled that her new boyfriend was still present.

‘Young Master Gab is wealthy, powerful, and from an influential family while this loser is nothing but a poverty-stricken bastard who will never make it in life. Perhaps it's time I dumped him once and for all.’

With this thought appearing in her mind, Rebecca didn’t think twice before she hurriedly accepted it and then moved closer to the young man.

“He is a beggar whom I usually invite to give some food and clothing to survive." She pointed at Mark with disgust.

Mark was shocked out of his wit and couldn't react for a moment.

‘Me? A beggar?’ He was completely stupefied for almost a minute before eventually, the most heart-wrenching and agonized smile appeared on his face.

"You... you didn’t just call me a beggar, did you?” He sounded profoundly pained. “After everything we've shared? All the love we've shown each other and all my sacrifices for you? Is this what you've always seen me as? A begar?”

The young man next to Rebecca frowned more when he heard Mark and then he was hit with more disgust.

Although he wouldn’t mind otherwise and he would even mock Mark happily, as it was what he loved doing the most, snatching the women that belonged to other men, he still inquired. “Is what he just said the truth? Is this... thing here your man?"

“I…” Rebecca became anxious, then she glared ferociously at Mark. ‘You could have sought more good days by not catching me and continuing to get deceived, but since you ended up seeking your demise by catching me, then I’m not sorry; all the blame shall be pushed on your loser’s head.’

With this thought, Rebecca’s glare became one of furiousness. “What nonsense did you just spout from your filthy mouth? How dare you bastard try to slander me? Are you trying to cause a wedge between myself and my man? Oh, you think you can try to infuriate my man to leave me just because I’ve been treating you well these past years, you fucking loser?”

Mark was shocked more than he had ever been in his life when he saw his treasured girlfriend throwing herself into another man’s embrace.

“Young Master Gab is my only love. Why will I ever date a filthy beggar like yourself when I’m not blind?” She continued, her eyes getting filled with more irritation and spite as she saw how malnourished, thin, and dirty Mark was.

She didn’t give a fuck that Mark had become like this because of herself and her mother.

Witnessing this, Mark remained dazed.

‘Is this still my sweet Rebecca?’

He and Rebecca had been friends since their childhood and they had been very close.

Their friendship had automatically evolved into a romantic relationship once they entered college and their lovey-dovey had become the envy of both men and women for years since then.

Although they were both from humble backgrounds, Mark had always done everything in his power to give Rebecca the best life possible and try as much as he could to make her the envy of other ladies.

He would do all sorts of jobs and go out of his comfort zone just to buy her branded products and give her everything she had ever wanted.

Mark had received news from Rebecca a month ago that her mother was critically ill and needed a large sum of money before any treatment could be performed on her.

Without thinking twice, Mark left behind his academy and part-time jobs to apply for labor work that has high pay at a construction site.

For a whole month, Mark had been working from dawn to dust like a machine. He had even gone on a hunger strike and only ate the cheapest things he could find any time he wasn’t able to hold them again, just so he could save all the money possible.

Mark had been sending Rebecca all this money for her mother’s treatment and he had done all the jobs that everybody else had been running away from on the site before he finally managed to complete the deposit requested by Rebecca.

Mark had intended to return the next day before, but he decided to surprise his girlfriend by returning today and checking on her mother’s health before finally going back to the construction site and resuming work to get the hospital balance.

Mark had never imagined in his worst nightmare that he would catch Rebecca cheating on him.

“You…” Mark was about to say something when suddenly, a woman’s healthy voice came from within the apartment.
