The following days are becoming difficult for the couple. Sherry would go on endless tantrums if Axel stayed in the room."What are you doing here? All your stuff is already in the guest room. You have no business coming here anymore," she said coldly."This is also my room," Axel answered calmly, sitting on his bed."Fine, you stay here. I'll go to the other room," Sherry said, moving towards the closet to start putting her stuff in the bag to transfer to another vacant room.Axel sighed and stood up. "Why are you doing this to me? Why are you torturing me? I'm your husband, for Christ's sake!" he said miserably.She turned around and looked at him. "Because I can't stomach seeing your face! I can't breathe when you are in the same room with me!" she responded coldly."That's a lie! You only want me out of this room because you can't stop chatting with your lover! You don't want me to disturb your indecent activity. You want the room to yourself, and God knows what you and your lover
Nancy waited for Sherry to reveal her secret, but it seemed she would wait for a century unless she did something about it. "Hey, I'm waiting," she said, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.Sherry cleared her throat and motioned for her friend to join her in the bed. "Come here. I have something important to tell you."Nancy obeyed and lowered herself on the bed. "What is it?" she asked in a low voice.Sherry sighed. "I had a lover. I met him on the island, and he is willing to marry me after the divorce. Unfortunately, I got pregnant with Axel's baby. His name is Russell, so that is my big problem right now. I can no longer be with my husband because I don't love him anymore."Nancy's eyes widened in shock. "OMG! How it happened? You have been on the island for a few days only, more than a week, right? You can't possibly fall in love with someone that fast," she said in astonishment. It felt like she was talking to a stranger right now. Her old friend is gone, replaced by a ne
Axel was in the office talking to the private investigator he hired to follow his wife everywhere. He believed that at this very moment, the lovebirds were already discussing meeting each other again in secret.He gave Sherry's photo to the guy. "This is my wife, and he is one month pregnant. She openly admitted to me that she had a lover and it was my fault that she cheated on me. It's a long story, and I don't want to share with you the details. I want you to follow her around because I believe that sooner or later, she and her lover will meet somewhere. I don't know when and how."The investigator looked at the photo for a few minutes and then put it inside the confidential folder. "Anything else, sir?""I can't be in my house 24/7 because I work in my office from Monday to Friday, so my wife stays in the house most of the time. Sometimes, she would visit her best friend Nancy, who owns a flower shop. Sometimes, she would go to the mall to buy groceries and whatnot. Then, she would
Russell went silent for a few minutes, making Sherry impatient. "What is it? Come on, tell me now," she said urgently. Her enthusiasm is glowing on her face. Coming from Russell, it must be good! "Um, sweetie, I can make you disappear in the eyes of many, including your family and friends," Russell offered casually. Sherry's eyes widened in shock because she couldn't understand what he meant by his weird statement. "Huh? What do you mean?" "Yeah. I can make you disappear for a few months or years, and you will only resurface later after your husband is ready to give you the divorce. I have many properties around the country that are located in secluded places. I can hide you in one of them. That way, we can continue our affair without anyone disturbing us," he elaborated further. "Oh..." Sherry's mouth fell open. "Your solution to my problem is a bit creepy to me," she finally expressed what she thought of his brilliant solution. "Yeah, I agree, but you can do it the other way. Yo
The couple boarded their car and arrived at the mall smiling pleasantly. They entered the 5 story building, went to the infant and toddlers department store, and checked the endless array of beautiful maternity and baby dresses on the rack."Aww, this one is so nice! A pink onesie!" Sherry gushes, admiring the clothing."Yeah, it's soft and made in cotton materials, good for baby's delicate skin," Axel said, thrilled to buy clothes for his firstborn with his wife. And for the first time after serving the divorce papers to his wife that affected their relationship badly, he finally saw the light of day. A sense of hope surged deep within him, thinking that this would be the beginning of their reconciliation as husband and wife."I really want our marriage to work, hon," he said thoughtfully.Sherry looked at him for a few seconds, realizing that this moment was perfect for them if she didn't meet Russell on the island. But things have changed now. She is ready to leave her husband to s
Thursday finally came. Sherry and Axel were getting ready to visit the OBgyn, also Nancy's OB.Sherry wore a below-the-knee floral design maxi summer dress that is both comfy and pleasant to the eyes. She put on her sunglasses and looked at her reflection in the mirror one last time. She was pleased with her appearance, picked up her blue shoulder bag, and exited the room.She went to the staircase and descended. Her husband was already waiting for her on the couch in the living room. "Let's go," she said when her feet landed on the floor."You looked gorgeous today, hon," Axel commented on her appearance. His wife looks terrific in her attire today.Sherry smiled, reciprocating his flattery. "You look good as well," she responded and proceeded to the mansion's main entrance.Axel smiled and followed his wife to the door.The couple exited the house and got in the car parked in the driveway.Axel started the engine while Sherry fastened her seatbelt."Hon, do you want us to go straigh
Mae saw her mistress coming downstairs, rushing to her parked car in the driveway. She ran after her. "Ma'am, may I know where you are going today? Are you going home early for dinner tonight? What specific food do you want to eat for tonight's dinner?" She bombarded her with questions because she knew very well that Sir Axel would interrogate her about where her mistress had gone.Sherry halted in her tracks and looked at the maid. "I'm going to Nancy's flower shop. No need to prepare food for dinner. I'll be back later tonight. I gotta go!" she answered hurriedly and slid into the driver's seat and started the engine, driving the car towards the gate.Mae watched the vehicle fading from her sight. Sighing deeply, she went back inside the house. She went to her room in the servant's quarter, and from there, she sent a message informing Sir Axel that his wife had left the mansion to visit her friend Nancy in the flower shop.Meanwhile...After a few minutes of driving, Sherry finally
Sherry remembered Nancy's warning that they couldn't stay longer in the hotel. She gently pushed Russell away from her. "What's wrong?" Russell asked, putting his hands back on her bulging stomach. "Are you hungry? Thirsty? Do you want to eat before we continue our lovemaking?" he asked. "Um, let's talk first," she said, resting her head on his chest, feeling contented just by hearing his heartbeat. "What do you want to talk about, sweetie?" he asked softly, kissing her head and inhaling her shampoo's sweet smell. He can't directly ask her why she was in the OB's clinic with her husband because she will know that he hired someone to spy on her daily activities. "How's life on the island?" she asked, looking deeply into his eyes. "Great as always, but something is missing..." he said. "The island is beautiful and magical, but it has already lost charm when you leave my side. It's no longer giving me the same magic anymore..." "Huh? What's missing?" she asked. "You are the missing
