Hello,Husband,Goodbye Her Son's Sake
"What kind of question is that?" I asked, my brow furrowing in confusion."In my next life, I would still choose to meet Elijah, Marcus," I declared, my voice filled with unwavering determination as I locked eyes with him.Marcus's gaze held a mixture of sadness and understanding. "I know you would. Elijah is a different kind of man, someone I am not," he responded.Looking into his eyes, a flicker of love still remained, despite the painful memories that flooded my mind. The mistreatment, the embarrassment, the betrayal - it all came rushing back. How could I ever trust him again?Although I longed to say yes, to surrender to the love that lingered, deep down I knew it would never work.Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of our son Marco waking up. We both turned to him, seeing him lying on the hospital bed with tubes and wires attached to his small body."Mommy, Daddy," he weakly called out, his voice filled with love and longing.Rushing to his side, we held his hands an
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Ex & Present
As I gazed into Marcus' eyes, I could see the same astonishment and bewilderment mirrored in his expression. Our son had just posed a question that caught us completely off guard, leaving us momentarily speechless."Mom, Can you?" Marco's innocent voice reverberated through the room, causing both Marcus and me to freeze in our tracks.Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate our son asking something like this. My face flushed crimson as I struggled to conjure up a response. However, before I could utter a single word, the doctor abruptly entered the room, interrupting the awkward moment."Excuse me," the doctor interjected, glancing between the three of us."I need to discuss Marco's treatment plan with both of you."A wave of relief washed over me as the doctor rescued us from the predicament of answering our son's unexpected query. I shot Marcus a grateful glance, silently expressing my gratitude for his unwavering support for our child.The doctor bestowed a kind smile upon me a
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Her Fiancé
I observed as Elijah stormed out of the room, his jaw tightly clenched and his hands tightly balled into fists. I was well aware that I had made a mistake, but I couldn't simply let him leave without attempting to clarify myself."Sweetheart, please wait!" I called out to him, but he didn't even bother to glance back at me. I let out a sigh and turned towards my son, Marco, who was lying in bed. I couldn't leave him alone."Mom, just let him go. Leave him be," Marco advised me."Marco, sweetheart, I really need to talk to your Daddy Elijah," I pleaded, hoping to make him understand.However, he simply stared off into space, not acknowledging my words. A pang of guilt struck my chest. My thoughtless words had caused Elijah so much pain.I sat down on the edge of Marco's bed and gently held his hand in mine. "I'm sorry, my love. You can go back to sleep now and relax," I reassured him. As Marcus abruptly entered the room, my heart raced with anticipation. Without wasting a moment, I ea
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Family's love
As I listened to Marcus's voice echoing, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. "I'm sorry Marco, I know I haven't been the best father to you," he confessed. Confusion filled Marco's voice as he replied, "What are you saying, Dad?" But then, Marco's words surprised me. "You are the best father for me," he said, his sincerity shining through. Tears welled up in my eyes as I witnessed this heartfelt exchange between father and son. Despite the pain and hurt Marcus had caused, I couldn't deny that he was trying to be a better father. However, I couldn't let their moment continue uninterrupted. "Excuse me, guys. Did I disturb you two?" I asked, a smile on my face, trying to maintain a calm demeanor. "Oh, hey Sam. No, you're not disturbing us. Besides, Marco was actually looking for you," Marcus replied, his gaze shifting towards me. "Mommy, dad said that he's not a good father. He said sorry to me even though we both know that he's the best father in the whole world," Marco in
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Home
I was completely taken aback by Marco's question. It caught me off guard, and I could see the curiosity in his eyes as he searched for an answer. "Hey,mom?""Son, of course I love your dad just as much as I love you," I replied, trying to maintain a calm and reassuring tone."That's not what I see now,"he said.Marco's admission that he sometimes felt like I didn't mean it hit me hard. It was unexpected, and I could see the hurt in his eyes. It broke my heart to think that he doubted our love for him."Honey, that's not true at all," I reassured him, reaching out to hold his hand."Your father and I have a different kind of love, but we both love you more than anything in this world. Our love for you is just as strong."Marcus chimed in, placing a comforting hand on Marco's shoulder. "That's right, buddy. Your mom and I love each other, but our love for you is on a whole different level. You mean everything to us."A smile of relief spread across Marco's face as he nodded, understand
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Trouble
My heart raced as I anxiously inquired, "What happened? Is he alright?" My voice trembled with worry."He's fine. We just need to ask him a few questions about a minor incident at the bar last night. We have to hold him for questioning and he'll have to pay for the damages he caused," the Officer explained.I felt a mix of concern and disappointment for Elijah's actions. I desperately wanted to know the truth. Taking a deep breath, I looked at Marcus standing before me. "Could you please take care of Marco for a while?" I asked, trying to maintain a steady voice."It's an emergency, Marcus. Elijah is at the police station," I pleaded with him."What?!"I asked in disbelief."Elijah Is in the police station. I need to go now"I said.Marcus nodded, his face serious. "I understand. I'll take care of our son and find out what really happened to Elijah."Grateful for his understanding, I nodded. "I promise I'll inform you as soon as I have any updates.""Alright," he said, placing a reassur
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Fixing his Mess
"What?" I exclaimed, my brows furrowing as I locked eyes with him."Seriously?!" I added, disbelief evident in my voice."You know how I can love a man despite his flaws," I explained to him."But why did you leave me before? Don't you love me even a little bit?" he questioned, his gaze fixed on mine."You know I endured all the mistreatment from you before I finally gave up," I reminded him of all the pain he had caused me."Elijah never treated me that way, so he deserves my love more. You don't have the right to dictate what I should or shouldn't do," I asserted.Leaving him standing there, I hurriedly made my way to the room to retrieve my bank card. The damages caused by Elijah needed to be settled, and I wanted to do everything I could for my fiancé, who had always been understanding and protective towards me. He was my rock, my shield, and my armor.As I entered the room, I noticed Marco peacefully sleeping. Unable to resist, I leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on his forehea

Is everything okay with you and your dad?""Yes, mom. What time will you be home?" Marco inquired."As soon as I can," I assured him."Just wait for me there, my dear. Would you like me to buy you a cake?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood."Wow, I'd love that, Mom! Thank you!" Marco responded, clearly delighted by my offer.After ending the call, Elijah asked me who had called, and I informed him that it was Marco."Marco is waiting for me to come home. I really need to leave now," I explained.He smiled at me, his dark hair gently tousled by the breeze."I understa
