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 following day, Felix never went home as he was too busy and focused on who was the hacker. The atmosphere in the Anderson mansion remained tense as the family awaited updates on the cyberattack.

    "Let's get you home, Mom. You need plenty of rest to fully recover." They made their way through the hospital corridors, the familiar scent of antiseptic gradually giving way to the fresh air outside. Marianne hailed a cab, and they settled into the back seat, the city passing by in a blur. Once they arrived home, Marianne helped her mother settle into the comfortable surroundings of their living room. The walls adorned with family photos and memories seemed to welcome them back with open arms. "Would you like some tea, Mom?" Marianne offered, heading towards the kitchen. "That sounds lovely, dear," her mother replied, sinking into the sofa with a sigh of contentment. Marianne busied herself in the kitchen, preparing a pot of soothing chamomile tea. As the water boiled, she couldn't help but glance at her mother from the doorway, grateful for this moment of peace after the storm of health concerns.

    Marianne was already inside her bed as she thought of Felix. She felt so guilty after knowing what he had been through. A deep sigh came out of her mouth as she lay down on her bed. A tear escaped from her eyes as she felt so sorry for Felix. "How I wish I knew about your past, Felix," she stammered as tears continued to flow from her eyes. Her mother leaned against the door and sighed. She then let Marianne cry, she thought that letting her do what she wants makes her heart feel better. Emma slowly walked away from her daughter's room and headed back to the kitchen to prepare something for her.

    The park seemed to cocoon them in a bubble of shared vulnerability, and for a moment, the weight of their individual struggles lifted. In that quiet space, they rediscovered the solace they once found in each other's presence. After a while, Felix pulled away, wiping away his tears with a grateful smile. Marianne offered him a small, understanding smile in return. The unspoken connection between them lingered, transcending the complexities of their past.

    One day, while exploring a charming coastal town, Marianne stumbled upon a beach. She went to the shore and sat down on the shore. As she looked into the sea, her eyes started to tear up. "Why! Why am I living like this? How can I move on from this!" she raged as she continued to tear up. On the other hand, a painter on the other side heard the scream near him. He looked around, but it seemed like there was no one. He continued to paint, but the loud screams and sobs continued, which caused him unfocused on his work. Curiosity getting the better of him, the painter decided to investigate the source of the cries. He followed the sound, winding his way through the narrow streets until he reached the beach. There, he found Marianne, sitting alone, with the waves crashing gently against the shore. He observed the girl from a distance and sighed, he then walked closer to her and handed a handkerchief to her. "Here Ms. use this for the time being." Marianne looked up, startled by th

    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

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."
