Hello,Husband,Goodbye Trust issue
My anger surged through my veins, and I couldn't resist confronting him. I was well aware that her earlier words lacked sincerity."Are you trying to prove that you're a better mother to Marco? Marco is my son, and I am his only mother! I won't let you forget that," I asserted."Well, let me remind you that you abandoned him for years," she retorted."I had my reasons, Sofia! And you were the reason!" I exclaimed passionately.Suddenly, Marcus's voice interrupted us from behind, "What's happening here?"I noticed the concern and uncertainty in his eyes as he glanced back and forth between us. Inhaling deeply, I made up my mind to break the silence."Marcus, there's an important matter I'd like to talk to you about," I stated, meeting his gaze."What's on your mind, Sam?" he inquired, his tone laced with worry."After speaking with Sofia, I heard something that didn't sit right with me," I began cautiously, selecting my words with care."What exactly did she tell you?" Marcus questione
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Company's Mess
"I had a dream where you betrayed me with Sofia," I confessed, attempting to calm my emotions.Marcus embraced me tightly and reassured me, "It was just a dream, my love. You know how much I love you. Sofia means nothing to me."I returned the hug, but my mind was still filled with thoughts of the unsettling dream. The feeling of betrayal and insecurity lingered within me. Despite Marcus' comforting words, a hint of jealousy arose whenever Sofia's name was mentioned.However, as Marcus held me close and whispered words of love, I gradually began to relax. I knew deep down that he was being truthful, but doubts still plagued my mind. Trusting him completely was a challenge, especially considering my past experiences with Sofia."I promise you, Samantha. Sofia is nothing more than a distant memory to me. You are the only one I love and want to be with," Marcus assured me, gently kissing my forehead."I know, I know. I trust you, Marcus. It's just...my past with her still haunts me at ti
Hello,Husband,Goodbye How rude he is!
My jaw dropped in disbelief. How could he be so oblivious to the gravity of the situation? With a forced smile, I mustered all the strength I had to maintain my composure."Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence," I said, my voice laced with sarcasm."What brings you here, Elijah? And why on earth are you in such a sorry state?" He stumbled towards me, his words slurring together."Oh, Samantha, my dear. It's been too long," he mumbled.I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his audacity."You do remember that we broke up, right? Or did that conveniently slip your mind?" I retorted.His laughter filled the air, but it was empty, devoid of any genuine emotion."Come on, sweetheart. Let's have some fun. I miss you," he slurred, his eyes glazed over.My heart raced with anger and disbelief. This was the same person who had betrayed me, and now he had the audacity to use me for his own pleasure?Not a chance. I was not about to let him get away with it."No, Elija
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Ex obsession
I informed Marcus after dinner that I would take Marco to his room for him to rest. Once I settled Marco in his bed, I sat beside him and gently brushed his hair with my fingers."Goodnight, my little prince," I whispered, planting a soft kiss on his forehead.Marco mumbled, "Goodnight, mommy," his eyes already heavy with sleep.As I prepared to leave the room, I heard a knock on the door. I turned to find Marcus standing there, his hands in his pockets and a serious expression on his face."Can we talk?" he asked, his voice filled with hesitation.I let out a sigh, knowing that this conversation was long overdue. After all, we had been divorced for over a year now and had barely spoken to each other since then."Sure," I responded, closing the door behind me and leading him to the living room."I'll pick you up from work. I'm worried that Elijah might harass you again," he expressed with concern.I defended Elijah because I knew he wasn't in the right state of mind.Marcus stared at
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Belong to him
"What?!"Marcus frowned.Elijah sneered and retorted, "She belonged to me.I have every right to fight for her."I was in disbelief. These two men, whom I once cared for, were now battling over me as if I were some sort of trophy. I wanted to scream at them, to make it clear that I was not an object to be claimed. But before I could speak, Marcus stood in front of me, protecting me from Elijah."She's not a possession for you to reclaim. She's a person with emotions, and she chose to be with me. Respect her choice,"Marcus asserted.Elijah's jaw tightened, his eyes burning with anger as he glared at Marcus."You have no idea what you're talking about. She was never truly yours. She was just using you to forget about me."I was shocked by his audacity.I couldn't believe what Elijah was saying about our relationship. Watching his behavior made me doubt everything. "I cared for Marcus, and I care for him still. He was there for me when you weren't. He's the one who helped me heal my broken
Hello,Husband,Goodbye They are mine
Sofia's eyes lit up as she saw Marco running towards her, calling out "Mommy Sofia!" I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as she hugged him tightly."Hey Samantha, it's been a while," Sofia said, glancing around the room.Putting on a smile, I responded, "Yes, it has. How have you been?"Sofia shrugged, "Same old, same old. But enough about me, how's my little man doing?" She turned her attention to Marco."I'm good, mom," Marco replied.Despite my irritation at her possessive tone, I bit my tongue. Marco was my son, not hers. I didn't want to cause any tension in front of him, so I simply said, "He's doing great. He's growing up so fast."Sofia's face lit up with joy, and she eagerly joined Marco on the couch. They immersed themselves in play, their laughter filling the room. It was evident that Marco cherished Sofia's presence, and a twinge of envy tugged at my heart. Despite being his mother, it seemed like Sofia held a special place in his heart, a bond that I yearned to sh
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Nonchalant
As they stepped into the living room, I welcomed them with a warm smile. Marco wasted no time and rushed towards me, arms outstretched, eager for a hug. "Hi mommy!" he exclaimed, wrapping his arms tightly around me. "Hello, my little sunshine," I responded, returning his embrace. Curious about their outing, I asked, "How was the park?" hoping to strike up a conversation with Marco and Sofia. "It was amazing! Marco had a blast playing with the other kids," Marcus replied, a smile lighting up his face. "Yeah, it was wonderful to see him making new friends," Sofia chimed in, offering me a polite smile. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy as I observed Sofia's interaction with my son. The sense of insecurity and inadequacy lingered within me. "Mommy, can we go to the mall again tomorrow?" Marco interrupted my thoughts with his question. "Of course, sweetheart. We can go as often as you'd like, as long as I'm not busy, alright?" I responded, tousling his hair. "Yay!" he excl
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Assurance
I groaned and reluctantly grabbed my phone, contemplating whether to pick up or not. A part of me was tempted to just ignore the call and go back to sleep, while another part was curious so I get up and saw Marcus calling."Hey Sam, could you come downstairs for a moment?"Marcus' voice sounded eager, piquing my interest."Alright, give me a minute,"I responded, sitting up and rubbing my eyes.I quickly changed and made my way downstairs, still feeling drowsy. As I entered the living room, I was taken aback by the sight of a beautifully arranged table with candles and flowers in the middle."What's all this?"I inquired, my eyes widening in surprise.Marcus grinned and pulled out a chair for me. "I wanted to surprise you. I want to make it up to you. I love you," he confessed."Thank you. I love you too,"I replied with a smile.I chuckled and motioned towards the table. "I got your favorite Chinese food. And maybe I took a little wine from your liquor cabinet."I couldn't resist laughin

How could you do something like that?"Sofia's gaze dropped, tears welling up."I'm truly sorry, Samantha," she whispered, her voice trembling."None of this was supposed to happen.

The scent of garlic cooking promised a tasty dinner.Just as I grabbed the salt, my phone rang, interrupting my focus. The unknown number made me pause, expecting a sales call. But a gut feeling urged me to answer.“Hello?”I answered cautiously.“Is this Mr. Johnson’s wife ?” a woman's voice inquired urgently.“Marcus Johnson?” I clarified, feeling a sudden unease.“Yes. I'm calling from Mercy Hospital. Your husband, Marcus Johnson, was in a car accident and is in critical condition.”The news hit me like a ton of bricks. 'What?'

However, today was a new day, and I was determined to mend things with Sofia.Quietly slipping out of bed, I made my way to the kitchen, where the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. Sofia was already there, her lustrous dark hair flowing over her shoulders as she poured herself a cup."Good morning," I greeted her softly, stepping closer.She turned towards me, her eyes reflecting a mix of concern and warmth."Good morning, Marcus.""I've prepared breakfast," I announced, motioning towards the table."I hope you have an appetite."A smile graced Sofia's lips.
