I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He dropped this bombshell on me.

“What? No!” I exclaimed, my heart racing with shock and confusion.

“We clearly agreed that you will sign the divorce after this.”

Marcus let out a sigh, his expression serious.

“Yes, that's the question. Did you really do what I want?”he asked, his voice laced with frustration.

I could feel my anger rising. I could see his devilish side emerging again, the one that I had grown to despise over the years. He was a selfish and manipulative man, and I was done dealing with him. All I wanted was to be free from this stupid marriage and start a new life with Elijah, the man who had truly shown me what it meant to be loved and respected.

“Fine. I’m sorry, okay?”I said desperately.

“It’s my fault. But please don’t do this to me. This is so very important to me,”I begged him.

He keep his silence while he was looking at me seriously at those time.I heard he took a deep breath before spoke.

    I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The name that escaped his lips hit me like a ton of bricks. Sofia. Just the sound of her name sent a wave of pain through me, twisting my heart and churning my stomach. I shouldn't have been surprised, I mean, she was the one he was talking to. But it still hurt. It always hurt. And yet, a question lingered in my mind. Why did they broke up together?I'm completely perplexed by this situation and I'm desperately seeking answers to understand the reason behind it. All I could think about is that they were married when I departed. If only they were, then our failed divorce wouldn't be causing me so much trouble. Or perhaps it's solely because our divorce didn't work out?Now, here I was, trapped in this loveless marriage with Marcus. It felt like a cruel twist of fate.I tried to shake off the emotions, reminding myself that I was marrying Elijah. That was all that mattered. We were happy and in love, and that should be enough.

    My throat tightened, a sudden dryness creeping in. I hesitated, not wanting to reveal the truth that I had accidentally overheard him talking to Sofia about their plans for tonight. I didn't want him to think that I still harbored feelings for him or that I was envious of his relationship with her.There was a heavy silence before Marcus finally spoke, his voice devoid of any emotion. "Sam?" he called out.Embarrassment flushed my cheeks, and I felt a wave of nervousness wash over me. I didn't know how to respond. It was a pity, really. I didn't want him to assume that I had been eavesdropping or that his relationship with Sofia affected me."Um..." I stammered, searching for the right words."Ring!!!"Thankfully, my phone rang, saving me from having to answer his question. It was Elijah, calling to inquire about my whereabouts. The party was about to begin, and he wanted me to join him."I have to go," I informed Marcus, gripping my son Marco's hand."I can drive you," he offered."N

    My heart dropped as I recognized the voice. It was Sofia.I turned my head and saw her standing from the distance with an old man by her side. My jaw clenched in anger and confusion. What were they doing here? Did they plan on ruining my image in public?Before I could react, an old man in a tattered suit scolded her.“Let's go, Sofia. You're not supposed to do this kind of shit,” he scolded her.But Sofia resisted, her eyes fixed on me. “No, I won't go. I have to stop this. She doesn't deserve to be the CEO.”I was shocked when I saw Marcus approached, trying to drag her away.”What the hell are you doing? Don’t make scene here!”Their disturbance was causing a commotion in the crowd. Some people were whispering and others were trying to get a better look at what was happening.“That woman is crazy. Trying to ruin our party,”I announced, trying to diffuse the situation.But Sofia wouldn't give up. She continued to struggle and shout insults at me. I couldn't understand why she was so

    I was in disbelief. Sofia actually wanted my company's assistance for her business? How could she have the audacity to create a scene and humiliate me in front of everyone, only to turn around and ask for my help?"Seriously? So now she needs me? What a terrible move she made!" I exclaimed, my voice dripping with sarcasm.Marcus glanced at me, his eyes filled with sympathy."I'm sorry for her behavior. She's just going through a tough time because of her family's recent misfortune," he tried to explain, defending her.But I couldn't care less about her family's troubles. All I could think about was the way she had publicly embarrassed me, especially in front of important business associates.And now, here she was, attempting to exploit me for her own benefit. It infuriated me even more to see Marcus showing more concern for her well-being than mine. How could he defend her after what she had done to me?"That just makes it worse.

Could this be the moment she suggests a date? But what if Marcus doesn't approve?But hold on, who is Marcus to dictate my choices?"Yes, I am free," I responded, trying to contain my excitement."That's fantastic!" she exclaimed."I've been longing for your company, and I thought we could have a romantic dinner tonight, just the two of us."My heart melted at his words. He missed me just as much as I missed him. It was as if he could read my thoughts."I miss you too, sweetheart," I confessed, unable to conceal the joy in my voice.We quickly arranged to meet at our favorite restaurant at 7pm, and I c

    "Why would he feel jealous?" I inquired, noticing the confusion etched on his face.Taking a deep breath, I tried to compose myself amidst the whirlwind of emotions threatening to engulf me. This was a question I had hoped to avoid answering, especially during our intimate dinner."Why not?" he asked, seeking further clarification."Sweatheart, Marcus and I are no longer together," I explained, my voice steady despite the turmoil within."We've moved on and our love for each other faded long ago, even from the beginning of our marriage. We simply got married out of necessity at that time."Concern filled Elijah's eyes as he reached out to hold my hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up painful memories.I knew what you've been through," he apologized, his voice laced with remorse.But I couldn't let him shoulder the blame for something that wasn't his fault.

You should understand that immediately, being his mother.""I do understand, and I appreciate you informing me right away," I expressed my gratitude.A pang of guilt washed over me. I had been so consumed with planning this special night with Elijah that I hadn't even considered our son, Marco.Marcus glanced at both of us and addressed Elijah. "I don't care about your date," I softly interjected, my gaze fixed on Marcus."You don't need to worry, bro. I just wanted to make our son happy on his birthday. That's all, and I'll sign the divorce papers afterward," he added."I comprehend that this is challenging for both of you. However, we must prioritize our son's needs, Samantha.
