HER CEO EX HUSBAND

Startled, Marcellus halted in his tracks and spun around to face Larisa, his voice high with shock as he inquired, "What?! You're pregnant?!" Although he had only slept with Larisa occasionally, it was never because he loved her; it was because he experienced arousal or pining for Clara. When these feelings arose, he would conjure visions of Clara superimposed on Larisa, allowing him to use her as a substitute for his true love.Larisa was left completely taken aback as she nervously bit her lower lip, the way Marcellus responded and exclaimed, causing her to realize that he was displeased with the news.She hesitantly sought clarity on her assumption, inquiring of Marcellus inquisitively, "What if I'm pregnant? What will you do?" her eyes looking up directly into his as she so eagerly awaited his response as she breathed deeply.Marcellus glanced downwards at her, firmly shaking his head as he uttered, "You will need to abort it." His eyes remained fixed on Larisa as he intently aske

Larisa stared in disbelief at the phone in her hand, double-checking the caller ID to make sure it was indeed Clara calling her.Ashley silently mouthed the words, "What does she want?", her expression full of surprise.Larisa shrugged her shoulders, silently mouthing the words, "I don't know.""Yes, it's me, Clara...Marcellus's one true love," Clara said.Larisa half-heartedly chuckled as she asked, "True love?"Clara had been unpleasantly arrogant and rude as of late, even going so far as to get into a heated argument with Larisa the day before her wedding, unbeknownst to Marcellus. When Marcellus's father heard of the disparity, he had to step in, ordering his guards to put Clara in confinement until after the wedding."It would be best for all of us if you remove yourself from Marcellus's life. You're an obstruction to his joy and he never truly loved you from the start - you were merely an undesired present given to him by his father," Clara uttered from the other end of the line

Larisa screamed in distress and shielded her head with both hands while closing her eyes.Marcellus swiftly moved to hug Larisa, looking towards the two maids at the door in shock and yelling at them with a scowl. "What on earth was that?" he exclaimed, glaring at them with wide eyes. "You scared my wife!" he declared.Larisa was taken aback as she peered up at Marcellus. That was the first time she had heard him refer to her as his wife in front of her, although she was not sure if he had done so previously when she wasn't there. With a beaming smile, Larisa slowly rested her head on Marcellus's chest.The first maid bowed her head apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, sir, it was a mistake."The second maid also lowered her head, adding remorsefully, "I'm so sorry, sir."The two maids had been covertly listening in on Marcellus and Larisa when they heard Marcellus's initial outcry from the master bedroom, unbeknownst to Mrs. Mary, the head maid. They both remained at the doorway with

Mrs. Mary, in a state of shock, spoke out of her surprise as she stared at Marcellus, saying, "She... might still be in bed."The other maids, also taken aback, watched as he ascended the stairs, their gazes trailing him.Marcellus arrived at the Master bedroom and noticed Larisa lying on the bed. He went up to her and tapped her on her thigh, shouting, "Wake up, Larisa!" When she didn't move, he tapped her again and repeated his command, shaking her until she opened her eyes and turned her face toward him.Shocked to see Marcellus so early, with a displeased expression on his face, Larisa asked him, "What is it, Marcellus?" as she rubbed the sleep away from her eyes.Glaring down at her as she sat on the bed, Marcellus said sternly, "It's time you sign the divorce papers Larisa, it has been days already. I've had my fill, and I want you gone from my life for good."Larisa begged, "Marcellus, please give me more time to think." Marcellus questioned with a chuckle, "More time?" He the

Larisa arrived at the Clark restaurant and noticed Zack sitting there, rubbing his hands nervously. She recognized him from the photo that Ashley had shown her before she left. In person, he was even more handsome than in the picture. His symmetrical facial features, strong jawline, and well-groomed hair gave him a masculine appearance, while his confident posture exuded self-assurance. Larisa smiled as she approached him."Hi Zack," Larisa said with a smile as she arrived at the table.Zack gazed up at Larisa and was stunned, admiring her for a moment as she looked gorgeous in her sexy short gown. His mouth hung open slightly in awe."Can I sit down now?" Larisa asked with a smile, looking at Zack.Larisa's words snapped Zack back to reality, and he quickly rose from his chair. "Please, sit," Zack said, gesturing towards the chair across from him. Who wouldn't fall in love with the stunning Larisa Madison?Zack introduced himself to Larisa as the Vice Chairman of Ford Group.Larisa w
