"Why? You..."
"No... It's just that..."
"It's for you. I gave you what my wife needs." He teased Casandra's not-so-sharp nose.
"Now, let's take a shower. We'll be going downstairs soon. There's a little surprise waiting for you."
"Lex!" Casandra cried out softly when Alexander carried her, taking her to the bathroom so she wouldn't hear the commotion downstairs.
"Thank you for accepting Cesilia's offer, so I'm fine now."
Casandra raised an eyebrow. Suddenly, Alexander hugged her tightly, as if she was completely fragile and helpless.
"Have you found out what Madam is doing out there, Lex?" Casandra mumbled in her heart. Images of Cesilia being affectionate with Maxime crossed her mind. She wanted to tell him, but she didn't want Alexander to think she was trying to create conflict.

"Alexander, what's wrong?""It's nothing. Go to sleep, I have something to do for a moment." Alexander gently touched Cesilia's head, grabbed his pajamas, and moved to sit on the sofa.

However, after Alexander entered the room, he changed his mind and decided not to proceed. Cesilia didn't know what was wrong, but she realized that she didn't feel any pain at all.

It was as if nothing was missing from Alexander's life; he didn't even realize how many days had passed without Cesilia's presence. Now, he had Casandra by his side, always there to accompany and take care of all his needs. Casandra even packed everything he needed before going to work, and she always made time to bring him lunch. Alexander was truly enjoying his role as a husband, finally feeling appreciated for his gifts and gestures. Casandra's happy face whenever she received his presents made him feel valued.Unlike with Cesilia, who seemed indifferent to his extravagant gifts, even though he had given her very expensive ones. Cesilia, being financially independent, didn't seem too impressed by the material things Alexander offered. Before this, Cesilia never considered herself lucky to have a husband like Alexander."Lex, do you want me to deliver your lunch or should I bring it to the office?" Casandra asked once Alexander finished his breakfast."Please bring it to the office,

"Finally, you've arrived." Alexander hurriedly closed the document in front of him, signaling Robert to leave the room.Casandra's arrival meant he no longer had time to attend to all the work. It was lunchtime, and he felt even hungrier when he saw Casandra holding the lunchbox in her right hand. Alexander couldn't wait to taste his wife's homemade lunch."That's what happens when you're newlyweds; you always want to be together until I get kicked out like this," grumbled Robert, leaving Alexander's office. He wanted to join them for lunch, but he didn't want to disturb the newlywed couple's intimacy.Alexander chuckled in response to Robert's complaint. "That's why you should marry your sweetheart from back then, so you can experience what we're feeling now.""Just wait for my turn. Prepare a very special gift so that my marriage won't be in vain.""Are you getting married for happiness or for gifts from me?""Whatever your opinion about my marriage, I do expect a significant gift f

"What do you mean by saying you want to divorce Cesilia, Alexander?" Risma stared sharply at Alexander, who seemed to be trying to stay calm to avoid making the situation worse."I want to divorce Cesilia because she's not following the path I've set for her.""What path? Aren't you both in love, and isn't Cesilia still fulfilling her duties as a wife, even if she's busy?""That's what Mami said, but it doesn't align with what she's doing out there.""How so?"Alexander took a deep breath. "Mi, let's talk about this at home. This is the office, and I don't want to mix work and personal matters. I don't want anyone to overhear this argument because it will embarrass Cesilia more than me," Alexander explained.Risma grumbled in frustration, clenching her fists. If it weren't for the fact that Alexander is her son-in-law, she would have dragged him out of the building. She didn't appreciate being asked to leave as a subtle form of eviction."Fine, if that's what you want." Risma stood up

Instead of listening to Cesilia's words, Alexander tightened his embrace around Casandra, burying and dissolving all the sadness he was feeling at the moment. If he had the chance to be honest and grant Cesilia's request, Alexander would have asked her to disappear from his sight along with Casandra. Alexander didn't want Casandra to witness the intense pain he felt, which pierced his heart, not out of love, but because of the betrayal she had committed, tarnishing his reputation and disrespecting him as a husband. "Just be honest with me, Alexander. Was it that woman who made you turn away from me, unable to forgive and instead pronounce the talaq on me?" Cesilia tried to approach Alexander and Casandra, who were quite far from where she stood. Casandra's body tensed upon hearing Cesilia's words. "Lex, is what she said true?" Casandra asked. She hoped Cesilia's claim of the talaq was not true at all, as she didn't want to be involved in a divorce like this. She wasn't ready to face
