Maxwell's face was twisted in grievance as he entered the dining room and saw Melissa slumped over the table. He placed the plate of cake down and pulled out a chair to sit next to her. "What's going on here, Melissa? Are you feeling tired?" Tina, who had been watching from the doorway, felt a wave of hatred for Melissa swell inside her. She quickly turned away and left the house, her heart heavy with resentment.Melissa raised her head and faced Maxwell, her eyes filled with tears. She had been trying to forget the events of the past and the pain inflicted by Zick, but she couldn't seem to get it out of her mind. It was like a movie playing on a loop, and she felt helpless to make it stop. The rejection from her husband was the worst, and watching him make love to someone else in her presence was unbearable. "Sir, am I ugly, disgusting, or unlikeable?" she asked, her voice shaking with emotion. "Please tell me honestly," she pleaded, her heart broken.Maxwell clenched his jaws, grind

Maxwell's face reddened as he felt the heat of the moment. He knew that what he had done was wrong, but he had only wanted to save her life. He was adamant that his intentions had been pure and that there was no need for her to compare him to her ex-husband, Zick. He was far better than Zick, and that was why he wanted to marry her and raise their child together."Melissa," Maxwell said firmly, "I understand that what I did was wrong and that I should have told the truth sooner, but the doctor warned me that telling you the news might upset you and put your life in danger. That is why I chose to keep it from you." He spoke with conviction, intensifying that his intentions had been good and that she should not doubt him.Maxwell pleaded with Melissa, his voice trembling. "Please give me a chance to prove myself to you. Don't compare me to Zick; I would never hurt you because I know how it feels to be hurt. We are both heartbroken, but the child you are carrying is innocent and deserves

Mellisa and Maxwell hopped in the car and drove off, and the ride was eerily quiet. Maxwell had a lot he wanted to say to Mellisa, but he chose to stay silent, not wanting to give the impression that he actually cared. On the other hand, Mellisa wanted to apologize to Maxwell, but his unreadable expression made her think twice, remembering how cold he had been to Zick just a few days ago. Before they knew it, they had arrived at HOME AFFAIRS to register for their wedding and they finished in no time and they were now on their way back home. It was all so abrupt and quick, leaving Maxwell and Mellisa in uncomfortable silence. Maxwell quickly pulled up in front of his house and opened the door for Mellisa. As they walked inside, Maxwell's expression changed when he heard Tina's voice coming from the sitting room. He felt a sense of dread as he entered the room with Mellisa following behind him. His eyes turned cold when he saw that it was indeed Tina with a woman he didn't recognize. H

Tina had finished getting ready; she wore black, sexy lingerie, her long black hair flowing down her shoulders, and heavy makeup on her face. She looked beautiful and was confident that Maxwell wouldn't be able to resist her. Unfortunately, Tina didn't know that Maxwell was with Mellisa. "The drug must have started working by now, but where is Maxwell?" she asked, confused. "Let me go and check, maybe he is on his way here," she said, grabbing her morning dress and leaving the room to head to the sitting room. Tina arrived to find only Michelle, Shina, and Linda in the room. Her face fell when she realized Maxwell and Melissa weren't there. "Where is your father and that…bitch??" she asked, her voice tinged with anger.The three girls all turned their attention to Tina. "They just got married today," Shina said with a shrug. "I'm sure they're spending some quality time together." Michelle nodded in agreement.Tina stormed out of the room, heading upstairs. Linda, who had been sitting

Maxwell watched Mellisa's back as she ascended the stairs. He had always known that deep within her was a devil, but she had always been too scared to let it out. Now, however, her fear was beginning to dissipate and her true self was emerging. Maxwell was glad to see her standing up for herself against people like Tina. He only wished that one day she would find the courage to confront Zick and put him in his place, just as she had done with Tina.Maxwell smiled as he rose from his chair. "Michelle, please take ten cars with the guards with you. I'm going to go and get ready for work. Please take care of Melissa, I know that some people must be thinking about how to punish her for the good deed she had done," he said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone."OK dad, don't worry I will talk to Ronen," Shina replied.Maxwell then left the dining room and headed to Melissa's room. When he arrived, he found her sitting on the bed, seemingly lost in her own world. He walked to the bed and sat
