Vivian entered the house and was greeted by her husband, Jerry. Jerry noticed the worried look on her face and immediately began to question her."Hey, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried?" Jerry asked.Vivian took a deep breath before answering, "It's just work. My boss, Leo, seems to be getting more and more distant with me every day. I'm not sure what's going on."Jerry's expression tightened. "Leo, huh? Why do you think that is?"Vivian shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it's just stress from work or something."Jerry nodded, but there was a hint of suspicion in his gaze. "Well, I think it's my business too. After all, you still live in my house. You're still my responsibility."Vivian bristled at his tone. "I'm not a child, Jerry. I don't need you to be responsible for me. And besides, you didn't even accept me as your wife."Jerry sighed. "I know, I know. I'm sorry. I just worry about you, that's all."Vivian softened a little. "I appreciate that. But really, I can take care of

"Is this true?" she asked him.Leo smiled, his eyes holding a hint of amusement. "Yes, it's true," he said. "Your husband came to see me and told me to stay away from you."Vivian felt anger bubbling up inside her. "How dare you? This is my job, and you have no right to interfere in it," she said, glancing at Jerry.Jerry looked down, his expression contrite. "I'm sorry, Vivian. I just don't like the way he's been acting towards you," he said.Vivian shook her head, disbelief written all over her face. "You have no right to do this. You have never care

Vivian sat at her desk, lost in thought. Leo's words had stirred something within her - a glimmer of hope that maybe Jerry didhave feelings for her after all. But she couldn't help but wonder if it was too good to be true. She had tried to push her romantic feelings for Jerry aside, knowing that he had made it clear he could never accept her as his wife. But hearing Leo's words had given her a glimmer of hope, and the thought of being in a relationship with Jerry made her heart race.Meanwhile, Jerry sat in his office, unable to concentrate on anything. His mind was consumed with thoughts of Vivian, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was losing her. He had always been honest with Vivian about his intentions - he didn't want to ruin their friendship by getting involved romantically. But lately, he had found himself thinking about her more and more, imagining what it would be like to be with her.Just then, Ella burst into his office, interrupting his thoughts. Jerry snapped at h

Jerry sat at his desk, his mind swirling with thoughts of Vivian. He had finally admitted his feelings for her, and it was scary but exhilarating at the same time. But his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and he looked up to see Ella standing in the doorway."Jerry, what's going on? Why did you yell at me earlier?" Ella asked,her voice laced with concern.Jerry felt his blood boil, and he stood up abruptly."Ella, I asked you to leave my office and give me some space. I need to think," he said, his tone sharp.Ella looked hurt, but she nodded and left the room. Jerry leaned back in his chair, letting out a deep breath. He knew he had been harsh with Ella, but he couldn't help it. His emotions were all over the place, and he was struggling to keep them in check.After a few hours of quiet contemplation, Jerry finally decided to call it a day and closed up his office early. As he walked out into the warm, evening air, his thoughts turned to Vivian. He knew he

Vivian stared at Jerry in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. After everything that had happened between them, Jerry still wanted toprotect her?"What do you mean you want to protect me?" Vivian asked, her voice laced with confusion."I mean exactly what I said," Jerry replied, his voice firm. "I may never accept you as my wife again, butthat doesn't change the fact that I want to make sure you're safe."Vivian felt a range of emotions washing over her. Part of her felt grateful that Jerry still cared about her safety, but another part of her felt angry and frustrated. How could he act like everything was okay when they both knew their marriage was over?"I don't understand, Jerry," Vivian said, her voice shaking. "If you want to protect me, then why did you cheat on me? Why did you lie to me?"Jerry looked down at his shoes, seemingly at a loss for words. "I know I messed up, Vivian. I can't make it right, but I can try to make things easier for you now. I don't wan

Vivian stormed into the house, her frustration and anger boiling within her. She couldn't stand being with Jerry anymore."Jerry, I wanta divorce," she said, her voice shaking with emotion.Jerry's face turned cold as he heard her words. "We can't get a divorce,Vivian. Our marriage is not yet a month old," he said, trying to remain calm.Vivian's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean we can't get a divorce? This marriage is a mistake and it needs to end now," she said firmly."I know you're upset, Vivian. But the court won't grant us a divorce until we've been married for at least six months," Jerry explained, his voice taking a conciliatory tone. "I don't care about what the court says," Vivian replied, her tone resolute. "I want out of this marriage and I want it now."Jerry frowned. "You can't just walk away from this, Vivian. You made a commitment when you married me. You can't just give up on it so easily.""But what kind of marriage is this, Jerry?" Vivian retorted. "We

Vivian tried to contain her anger as Jerry's phone rang for the umpteenth time that day. She watched silently as he picked up thecall and whispered Ella's name. It was like a knife to her heart. She knew that he was cheating on her with Ella, but she couldn't bring herself to confront him about it. She didn't want to lose him, she still lovedhim, despite everything."Hi Ella," Jerry said softly into the phone.Vivian turned away from him, fighting back tears. She walked over to the window and stared out at the view, trying to calm herself down.Jerry's conversation with Ella was short, but it seemed to take forever. When he finally hung up, he turned to Vivian with a guilty look on his face."I'm sorry," he said, "I didn't mean to upset you."Vivian shook her head. "It's not just about that call," she said. "It's about everything. You're still seeing Ella, even though we're married. And you don't want me to move on with my life, even though you refuse to accept me as your wife."Jerry

Vivian calmly informed him that she was moving to her boss Leo's house - a decision she had made after much consideration. Jerry was outraged, feeling like he had been blindsided by Vivian's decision."You can't just leave like this, Vivian!" Jerry exclaimed, his voice rising in anger."I have to, Jerry. I can't continue living like this. You've been cheating on me, disrespecting me, and hurting me. I can't take it anymore." Vivian replied, her voice calm yet firm.Jerry tried to argue with Vivian, telling her that things could be worked out and that they should try to reconcile. But Vivian was not willing to listen to his pleas. She had made up her mind to leave and start anew.Just then, Vivian's boss, Leo, arrived at the house. Seeing him, Jerry's a
