Leo sat across from Vivian, the two of them chatting over a cup of coffee. The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a warmglow that made Vivian's smile look brighter. Leo leaned forward, his eyes fixed on her with genuine curiosity."So, Vivian, why was your marriage arranged?" he asked.Vivian's smile faded slightly as she looked down ather lap. "My father worked for Mr. Will for a very long time. When he passed away, Mr. Will promised to take care of me."Leo nodded, understanding the weight of such a promise."Then he got you married to his son, Jerry?" Leo prodded gently.Vivian nodded, her eyes still cast down. "Yes. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I had no one else to take care of me."Leo's heart ached for Vivian. He knew how important it was to have agency over one's own life, especially when it came to such an intimate decision as marriage."And your mother?" Leo asked, trying to piece together Vivian's family history.Vivian's expression turned pensi

Vivian walked out of the house, feeling unsettled by Ella's unexpected arrival. She wondered why Jerry would bring his girlfriend into their shared homewithout any prior notice. Nevertheless, she reminded herself that Jerry was still her husband, and as long as they were married, she had every right to stay in their home.As she got into her car and drove to work, Vivian couldn'tstop thinking about the situation. She wondered if Jerry was really committed to their marriage or if he was just playing games with her. The fact that he had let Ella into their home without her knowledge made Vivian feel like he was trying to push her away.Meanwhile, downstairs in the house, Jerry and Ella were cozied up on the couch watching TV. Ella couldn't help but feel jealous and insecure about Vivian's presence in the house. She knew that Jerry was still married, but seeing his wife around made her feel like she was just a temporary distraction."Ella, don't worry about Vivian," Jerry said, sensing h

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

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.

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.

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

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
