I was taken aback by his question. After all he had a courage to say that? After the pain he caused me? I couldn't believe he was asking me this now. But I could see the sincerity in his eyes and I knew he needed an answer.I swallowed my own saliva and my heart beat suddenly stopped due to the tension. We just looked at each other, the silence between us growing heavier.But before I could answer, we were interrupted by a little boy's voice. We both looked behind and saw our son Marco crying. He ran towards us and I could see the fear in his eyes.“Marco,”we uttered. “Dad, mom, I had a bad dream,”he cried.I immediately got up and went to comfort him, while Marcus followed close behind. We both hugged our son, trying to calm him down.As I held Marco in my arms, I couldn't help but think about how much he resembled his father. He had the same dark hair and piercing blue eyes.I saw how much of a daddy's boy Marco was and it melted my heart. Despite the tension between us, I couldn't

Unable to believe what I was seeing. Memories of the past flooded my mind and I could feel the anger building up inside me.I shook my head, trying to push away the negative thoughts. Marcus never changed.He was always the same, always chasing after her. And here I was, with our son, in front of me.“Let’s go, Marco,” I said, my voice shaking with anger as I grabbed my son’s hand and pulled him towards me.I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible before I did something I would regret.“Wait, where is dad, mom?” Marco asked, confused by my sudden urgency.“He’s waiting outside,” I lied, not wanting to tell my son what I saw.Just then, I heard Marcus calling out my name from a distance.“Sam! Sam!” Marcus called me.I didn’t want to hear him, but Marco stopped and pulled my hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement.“Wait, mom. Daddy is there oh!” he exclaimed, pointing towards Marcus.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down as I stopped walking. I didn’t want my son t

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. Marcus had always been good at manipulating me, making me doubt my own feelings. But not this time. Not anymore.“If you have no respect for me before, at least respect my relationship with Elijah,” I said firmly, my eyes locked with his.Marcus's face contorted in anger. “What relationship? You barely know him. He's just your lover, I'm still your husband"I couldn't help but laugh at his words. “You really think that's all he is to me? Marcus, you never understood me. You never saw how much I loved Elijah, even when we were still together now”Marcus's jaw dropped in shock and I saw the pain in his eyes.“Calm down. I’m just kidding,” he said but obviously pretending.I shook my head, feeling pity for Marcus. ”I won't let you ruin my happiness now,”With that, I turned around and walked away and left him at the veranda. Marcus was just a distant memory now, a reminder of the pain that I had finally let go of.As we walked away, I cou

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The name that escaped his lips hit me like a ton of bricks. Sofia. Just the sound of her name sent a wave of pain through me, twisting my heart and churning my stomach. I shouldn't have been surprised, I mean, she was the one he was talking to. But it still hurt. It always hurt. And yet, a question lingered in my mind. Why did they broke up together?I'm completely perplexed by this situation and I'm desperately seeking answers to understand the reason behind it. All I could think about is that they were married when I departed. If only they were, then our failed divorce wouldn't be causing me so much trouble. Or perhaps it's solely because our divorce didn't work out?Now, here I was, trapped in this loveless marriage with Marcus. It felt like a cruel twist of fate.I tried to shake off the emotions, reminding myself that I was marrying Elijah. That was all that mattered. We were happy and in love, and that should be enough. But deep down, I cou

My heart dropped as I recognized the voice. It was Sofia.I turned my head and saw her standing from the distance with an old man by her side. My jaw clenched in anger and confusion. What were they doing here? Did they plan on ruining my image in public?Before I could react, an old man in a tattered suit scolded her.“Let's go, Sofia. You're not supposed to do this kind of shit,” he scolded her.But Sofia resisted, her eyes fixed on me. “No, I won't go. I have to stop this. She doesn't deserve to be the CEO.”I was shocked when I saw Marcus approached, trying to drag her away.”What the hell are you doing? Don’t make scene here!”Their disturbance was causing a commotion in the crowd. Some people were whispering and others were trying to get a better look at what was happening.“That woman is crazy. Trying to ruin our party,”I announced, trying to diffuse the situation.But Sofia wouldn't give up. She continued to struggle and shout insults at me. I couldn't understand why she was so
