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
“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
