Marianne's anger softened, replaced by a mixture of surprise and confusion. She looked into Felix's eyes, searching for any sign of deception, but what she found was a raw honesty that caught her off guard. The room seemed to pulse with the weight of unspoken emotions, and for a moment, Marianne hesitated. "Why now, Felix? Why admit this now?" Marianne asked, her voice softening. "Have you forgotten? You're already married to Charlotte now, so... please stop this right now." "How can I? Even I don't know what to do anymore, Marianne. I..." "Stop! This is enough, Felix. You... leave right now," Marianne's voice trembled with a mix of emotions. She pointed towards the door, her eyes filled with a resolute determination. The air in the room crackled with tension as Felix caught in the whirlwind of his conflicting feelings, hesitated for a moment. "Leave, Felix," Marianne repeated, her tone firmer this time.

Charlotte's composure wavered, and tears spilled down her cheeks as if betraying the emotional storm within her. The room bore witness to her vulnerability, the subtle tremors in her shoulders mirroring the seismic shifts in her understanding of the marriage she thought held some semblance of meaning. "Felix, I thought... I thought we could make it work. I thought there was more to us than just a business deal," she confessed, her voice breaking. She sank into a nearby chair, her hands covering her face as the weight of the truth unfolded before her. Felix remained silent, his gaze fixed on the floor, unable to meet her eyes. The truth, stark and unapologetic, hung heavily in the air, casting a pall over the room that echoed with Charlotte's quiet sobs. "I gave my all to this marriage, Felix. I tried to be a good wife, to support you in every way I could," she continued, her words strained with the pain of realization. "Can you just... treat me like a human being instead, Felix? I

"Get your hands off her!" a man shouted at the stranger, causing him to turn around to face him. The man who shouted was Nate, who was called by Ethel for help and to take Charlotte home. "What do you think you're doing?" Nate demanded, his tone filled with a mix of anger and concern. The stranger, caught off guard by Nate's sudden appearance, raised his hands defensively. "Hey, man, I didn't do anything! We were just dancing!" Nate eyed him suspiciously before turning his attention to the unconscious Charlotte. His face softened with concern as he approached her. "Charlotte, wake up," he gently called her name, trying to rouse her. As he was about to carry her, the stranger spoke, "And... who are you?" he asked. "I am her friend, why? And who do you think you are?" Nate, with Charlotte in his arms, stepped out of the dimly lit bar into the cool night air. The city buzzed with life, oblivious to the personal tumult that had unfolded within the confines of the crowded establish

"He sent me here to pick you up. He's busy, so he can't come." Nate's explanation left Charlotte with a mix of relief and disappointment. Relief that Felix wasn't directly witnessing the aftermath of her impulsive actions, and disappointment that he couldn't spare the time to be there for her when she clearly needed support. "Let's get you home," Nate suggested, guiding Charlotte towards the exit. The car ride was filled with a palpable silence, the weight of unspoken words hanging in the air. Nate couldn't help but steal glances at Charlotte, wondering about the turmoil she must be experiencing. Upon arriving at the Anderson mansion, Nate helped her inside. The familiar surroundings brought a sense of comfort, but Charlotte couldn't shake the heavy feeling of guilt that clung to her like a shadow. "Thanks, Nate. I'll be fine from here," Charlotte said, managing a small smile. Nate nodded, concern still etched on his face. "Take care, Mrs. Anderson. If you need anything, don't hes

Felix sighed, a hint of vulnerability breaking through his tough exterior. "Nate, you don't understand. Marianne had been running through my head. I can't get her off my head."Nate's expression softened as he listened to Felix's confession. He could sense the inner turmoil and conflict within Felix, a man torn between the past and the present. "Felix, I get it. Marianne meant a lot to you, and her loss is something you still carry. But you can't let it define your present, especially when there's someone here who needs you."Felix leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. "I think... I'm in love with her."Nate raised an eyebrow, surprised by Felix's revelation. "In love with Ms. Marianne?"He just nodded his head, and Nate was still surprised by his revelation. Felix is the type of man who doesn't fall in love that easily, but seeing him right now, he can really say that his friend is really into Marianne. Nate considered Felix's words carefully, realizing the comp

He drove back home, the cityscape passing by in a blur. The weight of his emotions pressed on him like a heavy burden, and the realization that he had just said goodbye to Marianne, perhaps for the last time, settled in his chest. Back at the Anderson mansion, Charlotte was waiting. Her eyes reflected a mixture of concern and curiosity as Felix entered the house. She had been through a tumultuous day herself, grappling with the aftermath of her impulsive actions and the revelation of Felix's true feelings. She was about to speak when Felix spoke, "I'm sorry," her eyes widened hearing that from him. "What?" "I said I was sorry. Sorry for being so harsh on you." Charlotte's eyes softened, surprised by the unexpected apology from Felix. The sincerity in his voice cut through the tension that had defined their recent interactions. "Felix, I... thank you for saying that. It means a lot." Felix nodded, his gaze meeting Charlotte's. "I've been selfish, Charlotte. I've been carrying my

The news of the cyberattack spread like wildfire within the Anderson mansion. Daisy's eyes widened, mirroring the shock and concern that rippled through the household. "What? Hacked? How is that even possible?" Daisy exclaimed, her mind trying to grasp the severity of the situation. Charlotte, still reeling from the revelation, replied, "I don't know, Daisy. Felix didn't provide many details, but it sounds serious. He's at the company, dealing with it." "We need to tell Father about this," Daisy suggested. "C-Can we do that?" Charlotte asked, unsure about Daisy's idea. "We need him, maybe Father could help, right?" Charlotte nodded her head in agreement. "You're right. Let's go talk to Father and update him on the situation. Maybe he can offer some guidance or assistance." As Charlotte and Daisy made their way to Ramon's study, the tension within the mansion was palpable.

The following month proved to be challenging for Marianne. The demands of pregnancy, coupled with the absence of Felix during long working hours, left her feeling weary and alone. With Zoey and Emma at school, the once lively house now echoed with a sense of solitude that weighed heavily on Marianne's shoulders. As she moved through the rooms, each filled with memories of laughter and shared moments, Marianne couldn't shake off the pangs of loneliness. The pregnancy, though a joyful occasion, had taken a toll on her energy, leaving her more susceptible to emotional waves. One quiet afternoon, the house seemed particularly empty. Marianne stood in the living room, gazing out of the window at the swaying trees. The gentle rustle of leaves seemed to underscore the stillness around her, intensifying the feeling of solitude. A wave of emotion washed over Marianne, and she found herself sitting on the couch, her hands resting on her growing belly. The silence pressed in, and she longed f

As the stars twinkled above, casting a soft glow over the small family gathered at the cemetery, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves, creating an atmosphere of serenity. Marianne, despite the emotional richness of the day, began to feel a dull ache in her head. She discreetly rubbed her temples, trying not to draw attention to the discomfort. Felix, attuned to Marianne's subtle signs of distress, noticed the furrow forming on her brow. He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay, Marianne?" She offered a small smile, trying to dismiss the growing pain. "I'm fine, just a little headache. It'll pass." Emma, ever perceptive, observed Marianne's discomfort. "Sweetheart, if you're not feeling well, we can head back. We've had a beautiful time here." Zoey, still full of the innocence of a child, chimed in, "Mommy, you should tell Grandpa about your headache. He'll help you feel better." Marianne's heart swelled with both gratitude and warmth at Zoey's concern. "Thank you,

A few weeks after the joyous beach wedding, Marianne, Felix, Zoey, and Emma found themselves standing in front of Marianne's father's grave. The cemetery was peaceful, with the soft rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds adding a gentle melody to the air. Zoey, their vivacious five-year-old daughter, clutched a small bouquet of wildflowers in her tiny hands. Her eyes sparkled with innocence as she looked at the headstone, adorned with fresh flowers. "Hi, Grandpa," Zoey chirped, her smile illuminating the somber surroundings. Emma, who had played the role of both mother and grandmother to Marianne and Zoey, felt tears welling up in her eyes. She gently placed a hand on Zoey's shoulder, her voice filled with a mix of love and longing, "I missed you so much, my love." Marianne, holding back her own tears, managed a tender smile.

The living room, once bustling with wedding plans, now felt serene and welcoming. Felix, still carrying Zoey in his arms, glanced at Marianne, his eyes reflecting a mix of love and concern. "Let's get you settled, Marianne," Felix suggested, guiding her towards the sofa. Ethel, who had been waiting at their home, stood up, her eyes filled with worry and guilt. "I'm so sorry, Marianne.
