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.

In the kitchen, Emma prepared a light snack for Marianne, contemplating the complexities of life and the unexpected turns it could take. As she sliced some fresh fruits, her mind wandered back to the news about the Anderson family. The hacking incident had shaken the foundation of their business empire, and Emma couldn't help but wonder about the ripple effects on Felix.

    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. "I didn't expect to find you here," Felix admitted, his voice raw with emotion. Marianne managed a small smile, "Me too. I didn't expect this." Felix took a deep breath, his gaze searching Marianne's eyes. "Thank you for being here, Marianne. It means more than you know." Marianne smiled, "You're always welcome, Felix." "By the way," she looked at him. "I heard mother was discharged. How is she?" "She's fine, Felix. Don't worry about her because she's well and healthy." Felix nodded, a sense of relief washing over him. "I'm gl

  • Bride for Rent   The painter

    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

    Back at the company, Nate saw how Felix struggled to find out who was the real culprit of the hacking incident. He knocked before getting inside and placed the coffee on his table. Felix looked up from his computer, exhaustion evident in his eyes. "Thanks, Nate. I could use a break." Nate took a seat across from Felix, observing the intricate web of code on the computer screen. "Any progress?" Felix sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's like chasing shadows. The hacker covered their tracks well. But I'm determined to get to the bottom of this. Our company's security is at stake." Nate nodded, sipping his coffee. "I trust you'll figure it out. You always do." Felix managed a faint smile, appreciating the vote of confidence. "I hope so. It's just frustrating not knowing who's behind this. They've targeted sensitive information, and it's affecting our clients' trust." Later that day, Nate was walking towards the parking lot when Charlotte saw him. She waved her hands with

    Nate turned to leave, but he changed his mind. He pulls the trigger on his side and shoots the man. The gunshot echoed through the desolate building, and the hacker crumpled to the ground, clutching his side in pain. The air hung heavy with the acrid smell of gunpowder, and Nate stood there, his expression cold and determined. "You think you can threaten me with exposure?" Nate spat, his voice low and filled with rage. "I won't let anyone jeopardize what I've built." The hacker groaned, writhing in pain. "You... you can't... just eliminate me." Nate's eyes flashed with a dangerous intensity. "I can, and I will protect my interests at any cost." Nate's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as he navigated the darkened streets. The gunshot still echoed in his mind, a chilling reminder of the darkness he had willingly embraced. His thoughts wandered back to a past filled with pain and loss, a past that fueled the flames of revenge burning within him. Ten years ago... Nate Brown'

    The celebration at the Anderson mansion was in full swing. Guests filled the elegant halls, clinking glasses and exchanging congratulatory words. Daisy, with a genuine smile on her face, looked around at the joyful atmosphere. "Finally, a moment of peace," she thought. She smiled, tapping her brother's shoulders, "Well done, brother. You did it." Felix nodded, acknowledging his sister's words. "Felix, my son," Ramon called him and tapped his shoulders, "You did great. Thank you," his father uttered as Charlotte and her family arrived at the place. Felix smiled, grateful for his family's support. However, his gaze shifted when he saw Charlotte entering the mansion. He smiled and then walked closer to her, "How are you?" "I'm good," she replied, and then Felix greeted Charlotte's parents politely. As the night unfolded, the mansion buzzed with laughter and music. Guests mingled, sharing stories and relishing the joyous occasion. Charlotte, however, couldn't shake off the lingerin

    Later that night, Nate went to the bar where Ethel was working. Ethel, the bartender, noticed Nate's intense expression as he approached the bar. She greeted him with a professional smile, accustomed to reading the moods of the patrons. "What can I get you, Mister?" she asked, pouring herself into her work. Nate leaned against the bar, his eyes fixed on the array of bottles before him. "Give me another tequila. Keep them coming." Ethel raised an eyebrow, studying Nate with a discerning gaze. "Rough night?" Nate nodded, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You could say that. Sometimes, the past has a way of catching up with you, no matter how hard you try to outrun it." Ethel poured another shot of tequila, sliding it towards Nate. "Well, you're in the right place for a drink. Sometimes, it helps to drown the sorrows, even if just for a moment." As Nate downed the tequila, the burning sensation seemed to echo the fire within him. "I appreciate the advice, Ethel. It's just... som

    Ethel remained in bed the next day, thinking about that kiss. The recollection of Nate's intense look, the vulnerability in his eyes, and their unexpected bond on the dance floor lingered in her mind. She was filled with excitement and uncertainty as the previous night's events repeated themselves in her head like a vivid dream. A smile slowly formed on the corner of her lips as her mind reminded the past events. She never thought that Nate would confess to her, it was unexpected, but she was happy that he opened up to her. The following evening, Ethel found herself back behind the bar, the memories of the previous night still fresh in her mind. She went about her work, mixing drinks and engaging in casual banter with the patrons. However, her thoughts kept drifting back to Nate and the unspoken connection they had shared on the dance floor. As the night progressed, and the bar grew busier, Ethel couldn't shake the anticipation of seeing Nate again. She glanced at her phone, reali

    Nate's apology hung in the air, devoid of the solace Ethel sought. As he turned to walk away, the distance between them seemed to widen with each step. The bar, once a place of shared moments and unspoken connection, now echoed with the hollow sound of footsteps against the cold floor. Ethel stood there, rooted to the spot, her eyes fixed on Nate's retreating figure. The pain of rejection pierced through her, and she felt a lump forming in her throat. The vibrant hues of the bar, once filled with the promise of something more, now seemed muted and desolate. Tears welled up in Ethel's eyes as she struggled to comprehend the abrupt unraveling of what she thought was a genuine connection. The silence in the bar was shattered by the muffled sound of her stifled sobs. "Nate, please," she called out, her voice choked with emotion. "You can't just walk away like this. We shared something real." Nate paused for a moment, his back still turned to her. There was a lingering hesitation, as i

    A month later... Marianne and Felix's daily routine included sleepless nights and shared parenting challenges. Despite their tiredness, their home was filled with the soothing sounds of baby coos and Zoey's laughing. "I could never been happier. I couldn't wish for more, Marianne. This family we had build together? This is perfect. This is what I am dreaming of." When the evening arrived, Felix and Marianne had been thinking about taking a family photo together to post on the wall for display and memories. "Felix, what do you think about having a family photo? Something we can hang in the living room, a snapshot of our life together despite all the challenges?" Marianne said, her eyes bright with joy. Felix grinned warmly, since he had always been supportive of Marianne's ideas. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. Let's capture these precious moments." He smiled as he gazed at his wife and two children. "Thank God for giving me these beautiful souls. I couldn't ask for more."

    In the hospital room, the air was filled with a gentle warmth as Marianne cradled their newborn son. Felix, still beaming with pride, leaned down to place another tender kiss on her forehead. The soft melody of their baby's first cries echoed in the room, a sweet symphony of new beginnings. Just as the new parents were settling into the quiet joy of their family, the door softly creaked open. Zoey, Felix and Marianne's eldest daughter, burst into the room, her eyes wide with excitement. She had just turned six, and her anticipation to meet her baby brother had been palpable. "Mommy! Daddy! Where's my baby brother?" Zoey exclaimed, bouncing on her toes with uncontainable enthusiasm. Felix, with a warm smile, gestured towards Marianne, who was still nestled in the hospital bed. "Zoey, meet your little brother."

The journey of Marianne's pregnancy had been a mix of joy, excitement, and challenges, making each day a testament to their unwavering love and support for each other. On the morning of the day that would forever change their lives, Felix and Marianne stood in the soft glow of the sunrise, the city gradually awakening outside their window. Marianne, her radiant glow juxtaposed against the delicate hues of dawn, took careful steps while Felix walked by her side. "How are you feeling?" Felix inquired, his eyes filled with concern and love. Marianne offered a tired but genuine smile. "I don't know, Felix. It's a mix of everything. But I can't wait to meet our little one."

    The following day dawned with a sense of anticipation in the Anderson household.

Marianne, fully supportive of the idea, smiled as Felix shared the details of their day. "Make it the happiest day for him. Enjoy your day," Marianne encouraged, her eyes reflecting the love she felt for Felix and the entire family. Felix grinned, his heart warmed by Marianne's support. "Thank you, love. I love you." With Marianne's blessing, Felix set the wheels in motion for a memorable family outing. The Andersons gathered their picnic essentials – a checkered blanket, a basket filled with sandwiches, fruits, and snacks, and a sense of excitement that permeated the air. As they arrived at the chosen park, a picturesque haven with sprawling greenery and the gentle murmur of a nearby stream, Felix couldn't help but marvel at the perfect setting for their family

    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

A checkered picnic blanket adorned with an array of delicious treats lay spread out beneath the shade of a towering oak tree. Zoey, her laughter echoing in the air, chased butterflies and picked wildflowers, her enthusiasm adding a touch of joy to the scene. Felix, ever the attentive father, set up a small grill for a spontaneous barbecue, filling the air with the tempting aroma of sizzling delicacies. Emma, sitting on the blanket, couldn't help but marvel at the picture-perfect moment unfolding before her. As Marianne leaned back, taking in the beauty of the day, she felt a gentle squeeze on her hand. Felix, his eyes filled with warmth, whispered, "Are you feeling okay, my love?"

    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. "I missed you too, Father." Felix, ever supportive, greeted the grave with a gentle smile, "Hello, Father. It's nice to see you again." The a

    After spending some time at the hospital, Felix, Marianne, and Zoey made their way back home. The drive was quiet, filled with a sense of relief now that they knew Marianne and the baby were going to be okay.

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.
