Hello,Husband,Goodbye He cheated
"I'm Justin Elfuerto, I'm the manager of the bar,"My heart skipped a beat as anticipation starts to make its way inside my head. "Yes, why? What's the matter?""Madam, you're husband is causing a scene in my bar. He wouldn't stop and keep threatening us. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take further actions if he doesn't stop. It might involve the cops."I pressed a hand on my mouth as I processed his words. "W-What? Where is he? Where is this bar? I'm coming."I immediately went upstairs and changed my clothes. I went to Marco's room, where Betty was trying to put him back to sleep. I whispered a short explanation to Betty, who quickly understood and promised to look after Marco while I'm gone. "Ma'am, I'm going to call the police!" the bar manager told me when things probably escalated."No!" I yelled abruptly. "No, no, you can't do that! My husband has a reputation. A police call would ruin it. So please, I'm begging you not to call anyone. I'm coming."The manager promised to do
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Frame up
The room spun as I climbed the stairs, each step feeling like an insurmountable obstacle in my path. My heart pounded in my chest, a painful rhythm that matched the tumultuous storm raging inside me. I couldn't believe what I had seen on Elijah's message—the image of Marcus, naked, entangled with Sofia. It felt like a dagger through my heart, tearing apart the fragile illusion of happiness I had built with Marcus.But as I reached the top of the stairs and pushed open the door to the VIP room, the reality of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. There they were—Marcus and Sofia, standing together in the center of the room (now fully dressed, thankfully), their faces frozen in shock as they turned to face me."Samantha..." Marcus's voice trailed off, his expression a mix of guilt and desperation. "I can explain."But before he could say another word, I felt a surge of anger boiling up inside me. "Explain?" I spat, my voice dripping with venom. "Explain what, Marcus? That you were
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Custody
"Mommy?"My head snapped towards the direction of the living room when I heard Marco's voice. I dropped the kitchen knife on the countertop and got out of the kitchen as I wipe my hands. Marco stood by the stairway, his backpack on his hands."Yes, baby?" I approached him and give him a kiss on the cheek. I couldn't help but notice the cast of dark shadown on his face. His eyes are hollow, his lips turned into a slight frown. Under the florescent light, he looks a lot like his father that no DNA test is needed to prove it."Daddy said that he'd drive me to school..." he muttered through a pout. "But he didn't come home last night."It was as though my heart eloped from my chest. I opened my mouth to speak, but I couldn't find any words. Instead, I reached for his shoulders and pulled him in to an embrace. My fear is slowly becoming reality. All these time, what I really intend to do is to protect Marco from harm and give him the best life I was deprived of while growing up. I promise
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Taking away
My breath got caught in my throat. I stared at him in disbelief. "What?" I almost whispered, my voice barely audible above the pounding of my own heart. "You... you can't be serious."But Marcus's expression remained unchanged, his eyes burning with a fierce determination. "I am serious, Samantha," he said, his voice firm."I want my son, and I'll do whatever it takes to get him."And as I stood there, my mind reeling with shock and disbelief, I realized that the battle for my son was only just beginning—a battle that would test my strength and resilience in ways I could never have imagined.With a sinking feeling in my chest, I knew that the road ahead would be long and treacherous, filled with obstacles and challenges. But I knew that I would stop at nothing to protect my son—to keep him safe from the man who had once held my heart in his hands.Because in the end, the bond between me and Marco, a mother and her child, is stronger than any betrayal, any heartache, any obstacle

Anxiety gnawed at me with each passing hour, threatening to overwhelm me.I had always prided myself on being independent, but now I felt vulnerable and isolated. The idea of losing Marco filled me with dread. I knew I had to fight with all my strength.“Mr. Harper,' I began, my voice shaking with both fear and resolve, I've been seeking your guidance for days, trying to navigate the legal complexities surrounding my son's case.”Mr. Harper, a seasoned professional exuding quiet confidence, sat back in his chair, his gaze fixed on me. “Ms. Monte Verde, I understand the seriousness of your situation. Marcus's custody filing has turned your world upside down.”“I'm scared, Mr. Harper,” I admitted, my voice barely audible. “I can't bear the thought of losing Marco. He means everything to me.”Mr. Harper's demeanor softened, a glimmer of compassion in

I couldn't help but reminisce about the days when Marcus was a lively and joyful child, his laughter echoing through our home.

He had endured countless sleepless nights and shed endless tears, all because I had prioritized my son's safety over his happiness. Now, I had to confront the repercussions of my choices.Despite the guilt and regret, a spark of anger still lingered within me. Marcus had also betrayed me by getting involved with Sofia and getting her pregnant. Although his actions stemmed from desperation, they had inflicted immense pain upon me."It's unjust," I murmured to myself."Why must I bear the weight of our mistakes alone?"Elijah's sudden appearance caught me off guard.

I was aware that Samantha might not approve of me taking Marco without her consent. However, I couldn't stand the idea of being separated from him any longer."Of course, sweetheart," I replied. "We'll go home with Daddy."I lifted Marco into my arms and headed towards my car. Betty trailed behind, wearing a worried expression."Sir Marcus, are you certain this is wise?" she questioned."Madam Samantha may not be pleased.""I know," I acknowledged."But I can't bear to be apart from my son any longer."Betty reluctantly nodded."I understand," she conceded."Just please be careful, Sir.""I appreciate it, Betty," I expressed my gratitude."Where are we headed, Daddy?"he inquired, his voice gentle and drowsy."We're going to the park, Marco," I responded."Remember, the place where we used to have fun?"A wide s
