Felix arrived at the office, but he was surprised to see Marianne there. She bowed her head and greeted him, "Mr. Anderson, good morning."

"What are you doing here?"

"Can we talk inside your office?" he nods his head and they both went inside.

Inside Felix's office, the air was heavy with the weight of unspoken words. Marianne took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Felix's with a mixture of determination and vulnerability.

Marianne handed Felix a small white envelope. He looked at it with a frown and confusion. "What is this?"

"Don't you remember? I worked here, and right now... we're divorced and you're married, I don't want to be a burden to your relationship with Ms. Charlotte. So, I am here to submit my resignation letter," she explained.

Felix's eyes scanned the envelope, realization dawning on him as he took it from Marianne's hands. The weight of her words hung in the air, and a sense of loss crept over him. He opened the envelope and pulled out the neatly typed resignatio

    Nate whispered words of comfort to Charlotte as he held her, understanding that the situation was far more complex than he initially thought. In the midst of the unexpected embrace, he couldn't help but wonder about the intricate web of relationships and emotions unraveling within the office. After a moment, Charlotte composed herself, pulling away from Nate. She wiped away her tears, offering a weak smile. "I'm so sorry for doing this, Nate. I just... I didn't expect things to be like this." Nate nodded understandingly, his gaze filled with empathy. "It's alright, Ms. Charlotte. Sometimes, life throws unexpected challenges at us. If you need someone to talk to or any assistance, I'm here for you." Charlotte appreciated Nate's support, and for a moment, she felt a sense of gratitude amid the chaos of her emotions. "Thank you, Nate. I appreciate it." Nate knocked on Felix's office door, the atmosphere inside still heavy with the lingering tension of earlier events. Felix looked up,

    "Felix, what are you doing here?" Marianne repeated, but Felix's eyes were fixed onto her mother. He then walked towards her, feeling weak and helpless in the face of the situation. The room seemed to tighten around him as he stood there, grappling with the weight of his actions and the impact they had on Marianne and her mother. "I didn't know... I didn't know about your mother," Felix finally managed to say, his voice filled with genuine concern. Marianne looked at him, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "Why would you? We're divorced, Felix. You have your own life now. And why do you even care about my mother? You haven't met her, and she didn't know you, so... what are you doing here? I... don't need you here." Those words hit Felix like a wave of reality crashing over him. He realized the depth of the separation that had occurred between them, not just legally but emotionally as well. The connection they once shared seemed like a distant memory, and he felt the weight of hi

    In the midst of her emotional turmoil, Charlotte was pulled to a quiet seat by a weeping willow. The branches hung low, providing a protecting canopy as if nature could empathize with her distress. As she sat, the willow leaves above swayed rhythmically, echoing the tempo of her tears. Nate, who happened to be walking alone through the park, observed Charlotte from a distance. He grimaced as he approached her, "Mrs. Anderson?" Charlotte raised her head to see Nate again. He removed his jacket and carefully wrapped it around her shoulders, providing warmth and a soothing presence. "Are you okay?" Nate asked, his voice quiet and full of empathy. Charlotte, taken aback by the unexpected gesture, managed a slight nod, unable to find her voice. Nate sat next her, allowing her to be as open as she wanted.

    Felix glanced at the files on his desk in his office, but his thoughts were not focused on the statistics and reports. The weight of the day's events weighed on him, and Marianne's tear-stained face stayed in his thoughts. He knew he had to face the reality of the situation, not only for Marianne, but also for himself. Felix rose up, unable to focus any longer, and left his office. The corridor lights flickered as he walked to the hospital, the echoes of his footfall reflecting the pain within him. As he entered the room, he looked about, but there appeared to be no one around. Felix paused for a second before pulling open the door. The gentle creak of the door echoed in the quiet corridor as Felix entered the hospital room. He then moved closer to Emma, and his eyes began to water. He stood before Emma, who was still comatose. "Mother, I'm sorry," he said, bowing his head in front of the unconscious woman. The room was silent, interrupted only by the occasional beeping of the devi

    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.

    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.

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

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."

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."

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." 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."

    A few weeks after the joyous beach wedding, Marianne, Felix, Zoey, and Emma found themselves standing in front of Marianne's father's grave.
