“I want a divorce,”Marcellus said as he stood at the center of the spacious bedroom, coldly facing forward with a gloomy expression. Sumptuous fabrics, exquisite furnishings, and a delicate lighting fixture near the bed created a cozy atmosphere. The walls were adorned with artwork to give the room a unique touch.Startled, Larisa sat on the edge of their king-size bed wearing her night robe, as she inquired incredulously, "A Divorce?" Not expecting this from Marcellus so suddenly.Marcellus had forewarned her on their wedding day that this would be the outcome, and since then she had been on edge. Despite knowing that it would eventually happen, she never expected it to be this soon.Marcellus coldly declared to Larisa, "Yes Larisa, I'm done with this marriage. I have given it my all, and I want to be with the woman I love."The phrase "the woman I love" from Marcellus felt like a sharp needle piercing Larisa's heart. She had always known he had never loved her, and yet she had sti
Startled, Marcellus halted in his tracks and spun around to face Larisa, his voice high with shock as he inquired, "What?! You're pregnant?!" Although he had only slept with Larisa occasionally, it was never because he loved her; it was because he experienced arousal or pining for Clara. When these feelings arose, he would conjure visions of Clara superimposed on Larisa, allowing him to use her as a substitute for his true love.Larisa was left completely taken aback as she nervously bit her lower lip, the way Marcellus responded and exclaimed, causing her to realize that he was displeased with the news.She hesitantly sought clarity on her assumption, inquiring of Marcellus inquisitively, "What if I'm pregnant? What will you do?" her eyes looking up directly into his as she so eagerly awaited his response as she breathed deeply.Marcellus glanced downwards at her, firmly shaking his head as he uttered, "You will need to abort it." His eyes remained fixed on Larisa as he intently aske
Clara's face exhibiting shock lifted her head and stared at Marcellus. "Pregnant?" she uttered in astonishment, completely taken aback by his unexpected question. Marcellus gazed intently at Clara and said, "Yes, are you pregnant? The way you ran out of the dining room made me think so." Chuckling, Clara wiped the water off her lips and shook her head. "No, Marcellus," she answered, sighing deeply. "I just finished my monthly flow days ago. How could I possibly be pregnant if I've seen my period for this month?" Clara asked, shrugging her shoulders. Marcellus's heart sank as he stared at Clara. "Why has the word 'pregnancy' been so disappointing for me lately?" he asked himself, taking a deep breath. "I thought you were pregnant," he said. Shaking her head, Clara replied, "No, Marcellus, I'm not - I've just been feeling a bit under the weather these days, that's all." She ran her hand through her hair as she spoke. Marcellus nodded, putting on a fake smile like he always did. "Wi
Larisa stared in disbelief at the phone in her hand, double-checking the caller ID to make sure it was indeed Clara calling her.Ashley silently mouthed the words, "What does she want?", her expression full of surprise.Larisa shrugged her shoulders, silently mouthing the words, "I don't know.""Yes, it's me, Clara...Marcellus's one true love," Clara said.Larisa half-heartedly chuckled as she asked, "True love?"Clara had been unpleasantly arrogant and rude as of late, even going so far as to get into a heated argument with Larisa the day before her wedding, unbeknownst to Marcellus. When Marcellus's father heard of the disparity, he had to step in, ordering his guards to put Clara in confinement until after the wedding."It would be best for all of us if you remove yourself from Marcellus's life. You're an obstruction to his joy and he never truly loved you from the start - you were merely an undesired present given to him by his father," Clara uttered from the other end of the line
Larisa exclaimed in surprise, "Now?!"Doctor Jane ended the call, replying, "Yes Mrs. Huxley, Now."Gently placing the phone down from her ear, Larisa turned to James and said, "Stop the car." She then took her handbag.Still driving, James asked, "What?""I said stop the car!" Larisa yelled.Pulling the car to the side of the road, James turned to face Larisa."I'll be stopping here," Larisa said. "I need to go somewhere important; you can go home.""But Mr. Huxley said...." James was still talking when Larisa opened the door of the car, waved her hands to stop a passing taxi, quickly entered it, and drove past James as the taxi driver drove away.Dumbfounded, James had no choice but to return home alone.Upon arriving at the hospital, Larisa swiftly disembarked from the taxi, paid the driver, and walked into the hospital. She arrived at Doctor Jane's office and gently knocked."Come in," Doctor Jane invited from inside the office.Nervously, Larisa opened the office door and stepped
Larisa screamed in distress and shielded her head with both hands while closing her eyes.Marcellus swiftly moved to hug Larisa, looking towards the two maids at the door in shock and yelling at them with a scowl. "What on earth was that?" he exclaimed, glaring at them with wide eyes. "You scared my wife!" he declared.Larisa was taken aback as she peered up at Marcellus. That was the first time she had heard him refer to her as his wife in front of her, although she was not sure if he had done so previously when she wasn't there. With a beaming smile, Larisa slowly rested her head on Marcellus's chest.The first maid bowed her head apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, sir, it was a mistake."The second maid also lowered her head, adding remorsefully, "I'm so sorry, sir."The two maids had been covertly listening in on Marcellus and Larisa when they heard Marcellus's initial outcry from the master bedroom, unbeknownst to Mrs. Mary, the head maid. They both remained at the doorway with
Larisa was taken aback when Marcellus uttered those words, unable to comprehend the sudden change in behavior from the man who had professed his love to her a few hours earlier.Larisa was speechless, stammering in disbelief, unsure how to respond. "Ummm....I....I....," she stuttered, at a loss for words.Marcellus yelled in anger, "Why can't you talk? Did a cat suddenly cut out your tongue?"(Earlier).After having a meeting with the Foreign Engineer from the New Huxley Shopping Mall, which was aided by his secretary, Marcellus received a phone call from Clara Scott, his lover. Marcellus promptly rushed out of the hotel and made his way over to her apartment. Upon arriving, Clara welcomed him as per usual, eventually bringing up the discussion of the divorce.Clara fixed her gaze on Marcellus as she queried with a curious expression, "Has she finally signed the divorce papers?"Marcellus responded, "No, she hasn't signed them yet; I'd like to give her some extra time."Astonished tha
Mrs. Mary, in a state of shock, spoke out of her surprise as she stared at Marcellus, saying, "She... might still be in bed."The other maids, also taken aback, watched as he ascended the stairs, their gazes trailing him.Marcellus arrived at the Master bedroom and noticed Larisa lying on the bed. He went up to her and tapped her on her thigh, shouting, "Wake up, Larisa!" When she didn't move, he tapped her again and repeated his command, shaking her until she opened her eyes and turned her face toward him.Shocked to see Marcellus so early, with a displeased expression on his face, Larisa asked him, "What is it, Marcellus?" as she rubbed the sleep away from her eyes.Glaring down at her as she sat on the bed, Marcellus said sternly, "It's time you sign the divorce papers Larisa, it has been days already. I've had my fill, and I want you gone from my life for good."Larisa begged, "Marcellus, please give me more time to think." Marcellus questioned with a chuckle, "More time?" He the
As onlookers rushed to the scene, calling for emergency services, Mr. Madison's driver cradled Waylen in his arms, his heart racing with fear and anxiety. Looking down at the child, he knew that he had to stay strong for him, to protect him from the chaos and confusion that surrounded them.The emergency services arrived on the scene within a matter of minutes, their vehicles screeching to a halt as they rushed to assess the situation. As they quickly surveyed the wreckage, their experienced eyes taking in the extent of the damage, they were met with a sight that filled them with a deep sense of sorrow and regret.Clara, who had been driving the car when it was struck with such force, was found to be unresponsive by the paramedics who had arrived on the scene. Despite their best efforts to revive her, they were forced to conclude that she had passed away as a result of the accident. With heavy hearts, they covered her lifeless body and carefully placed her in the emergency vehicle, th
Amelia sat back in her chair, her mind racing with thoughts. She knew how much Clara had cared for Marcellus and how devastated she would be upon hearing this news. " I think Larisa was pregnant before she left four years ago," Amelia said."I thought so too," Clara said. " Am going to make their life miserable" she swore again.****Early the following morning, Clara made her way out of her residence and embarked on a journey toward Larisa's dwelling. The reason for her visit was due to the fact that she had tracked Larisa and Marcellus the previous night after their luxurious dinner at the highly acclaimed five-star restaurant, leading her to believe that Larisa's home was a likely destination. With a clear objective in mind, Clara navigated the roads with a determined focus, her thoughts consumed by the task that lay ahead.After patiently waiting until Larisa had taken Waylen to school, Clara proceeded to discreetly follow her to the school's location. Upon reaching the school pre
Marcellus' body was a testament to his strength and power, but at this moment, he was gentle and loving, his every movement focused on bringing Larisa pleasure and joy. As he entered her slowly and deliberately, she gasped with pleasure, her body responding to his with an intensity that left her feeling alive and vibrant.Their bodies moved together in a beautiful dance of love and passion, every moment taking them closer to the brink of ecstasy. They kissed and caressed each other, their bodies moving in perfect harmony as they reached the pinnacle of their desire, their hearts and souls joined together in a beautiful moment of pure, unbridled love.Afterward, as they lay together, wrapped in each other's arms, they knew that they were meant to be together, forever and always. Their love was a beautiful thing, a light that shone brightly in the darkness, bringing warmth and joy to all who saw it. And at that moment, they knew that they had found their home, their sanctuary, their pla
Marcellus nodded, scanning through the documents with a keen eye. He had a reputation for being a tough but fair boss, and he was determined to ensure that the company continued to thrive under his leadership.As the day wore on, Marcellus worked tirelessly alongside Michael, attending various meetings and making important decisions. The familiar rhythm of work and the satisfaction of a job well done filled him with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. A WEEK LATERAfter a week of being back at work, Marcellus had caught up on the previous month's schedule and brought everything back up to a healthy pace. It was Saturday, and he had decided to take a break from work and spend some quality time with his family.Throughout the week, Marcellus had made a point of keeping in touch with Larisa and their son, Waylen. He called them daily to check in and see how they were doing. It was important to him to maintain a strong connection with them, especially after the scare he
Marcellus, Alex, and Charles exchanged knowing smiles as they observed the conversation between Mrs. Huxley and Larisa. It was clear to them what Mrs. Huxley was indirectly asking."Forgive me for being blunt, but what Mrs. Huxley means to ask is if Marcellus will still be able to perform well and impregnate a woman again after just recovering," Alex interjected, breaking the awkward silence that had settled over the room.Larisa nodded, understanding the unspoken question. "Yes," she replied confidently, "Marcellus has fully recovered and there is no reason to suggest that he won't be able to perform as he did before."After a prolonged stay in the hospital, Marcellus was finally discharged with his parents, his friends and him holding his belongings as they walked out of the hospital with Larisa holding Waylen's hand to see them off. The private room he had been occupying for weeks was cleared out. The once sterile space was now devoid of any trace of Marcellus and his personal effe
When they arrived at the hospital, they quickly made their way to the private room where Marcellus was staying. As they walked down the Hallway, Larisa held Waylen's hand reassuringly.Larisa and Waylen reached Marcellus' room and Larisa took a deep breath before asking, "Are you ready, Waylen?" Waylen nodded eagerly.Larisa knocked on the door and they waited for an answer.Marcellus heard the knock and smiled at his parents, "It must be Larisa," he said.Mr. and Mrs. Huxley stood curiously, wondering who else could be with Larisa. Charles and Alex were also intrigued to meet the new visitor."Come in," Marcellus called out.Larisa opened the door and walked inside, with Waylen following behind her. "Good day, everyone," she greeted them warmly."Good day, Larisa," they all replied.Marcellus' parents, Alex, and Charles looked at Waylen with curious eyes. Waylen felt a bit uncomfortable under their stares, but he tried to keep his cool. "Good morning, everyone," he said with a shy sm
Larisa's father spoke up, his voice filled with understanding and compassion. "Larisa, what you did was the right thing. It's high time the father of the child knows, and I hope your wish to be back together with Marcellus and stay together Forever be fulfilled."Larisa felt a wave of gratitude wash over her as she hugged her father. Larisa's mother watched her daughter and husband embrace, shaking her head in disbelief. "I can't believe you're willing to give him another chance after everything he's done," she said aloud. "But I hope it works out for you, Larisa."Larisa turned to her mother with a small smile. "Thank you, Mom. I know it won't be easy, but I love Marcellus and I want to make things work between us."Her mother gave her a skeptical look but nodded her head in understanding. "I understand, Larisa. Just be careful, okay? I don't want to see you get hurt again."Larisa hugged her mother tightly, feeling grateful for her concern. "I will, Mom. Thank you for always looki
Waylen looked up at his dad with a smile on his face. "It's okay, Dad. I forgive you," he said, his words laced with understanding and compassion.Marcellus's eyes filled with tears as he pulled Waylen into a tight embrace, patting him gently on the back. "Thank you, Waylen. I promise I'll do better from now on," he vowed.Larisa watched the scene before her, feeling her heart swell with love and gratitude. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but seeing Marcellus and Waylen come together like this gave her hope for the future. Larisa smiled at the heartwarming reunion before her. Seeing Marcellus and Waylen together for the first time brought a sense of joy and relief to her heart. She had always hoped that one day, they would be able to bond as father and son.Ashley looked on with a soft smile, feeling touched by the moment of reconciliation between father and son. It was a beautiful moment, and she was glad to be a part of it. Ashley watched the interaction between the three of them with
Waylen practically dragged Ashley towards the hospital entrance, his heart beating faster with each step. Ashley followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Waylen's back, filled with love and concern for the young boy.As they reached the lobby, they could hear the soft murmur of voices and the constant hum of activity. Waylen looked up at Ashley, his eyes gleaming with excitement."Come on, Aunt Ashley, let's go see Mom!" Waylen exclaimed.Ashley smiled back at him and took his hand, guiding him towards the elevator. She tapped the 30th-floor button, and they waited patiently as the elevator ascended.When the doors opened, Waylen couldn't wait any longer. He practically ran out of the elevator, Ashley following closely behind. They walked down the hallway, their footsteps echoing against the sterile walls.Larisa and Marcellus continued their conversation, exchanging jokes and laughter in the comfort of her office.Ashley led Waylen to the front of Larisa's office and opened the doo
