Vivian was beaming as she entered the house and kicked off her heels. She had just landed a secretarial job at a prestige company andcouldn't wait to start. It was the first time she felt a sense of fulfillment since her father passed away.She grabbed her phone and called Mrs. Rose, the woman who took her in as her own daughter. "Guess what, Mrs.Rose? I got the job!" Vivian exclaimed.Mrs. Rose was ecstatic for Vivian. "That's wonderful news, my darling girl. I am so proud of you," she said, her voice filled with warmth and love.Vivian then called her father-in-law, Mr. Will, to inform him of her good news. "Mr. Will, I just wanted to let you know that I landed a job as a secretary at a great company," she said.Mr. Will was taken aback when he heard the news. He couldn't believe that Vivian was working at another company when he had offered her jobs in his own companies. "Why did you take a job at a different company, Vivian? You know you can work at any of our companies."Vivian d
It’s the next day and Vivian had already prepared breakfast and she get dressed up for work and she serve the breakfast ok the dining and while Jerry was already dressing up for work as well.Vivian sat at the breakfast table, staring at the plate of food she had prepared for Jerry. She knew that he didn't appreciate her efforts, but she continued to try. She wanted to make things work between them and saw this as a small gesture towards that goal.Jerry walked into the kitchen, already dressed for work. He looked at Vivian, then at the plate of food onthe table. His expression was one of annoyance and displeasure. He didn't like seeing Vivian in his house, especially when she was trying to act like the perfect housewife."I don't want to eat your food, Vivian. You know that. I'll grab something on the way to work," Jerry said, his tone curt.Vivian's shoulders slumped, but she tried to put on a brave face. "Okay, Jerry. But could you at least drop me off at work? I don't want to be l
Jerry dialed Ella's number and waited for her to answer the phone. He was nervous and anxious, knowing that what he was about to say wouldnot be easy."Hello?" Ella's voice came through the other line."Ella, it's Jerry. I need to speak with you.""Sure, what's up?" Ella asked, curiosity tinged in her voice."I have somenews. Vivian, my wife, just got a job offer from another company. She said she's going to divorce me as soon as she's back on her feet and able to rent a place of her own."There was a pause on the other line as Ella took in the news. A rush of emotions ran through her, a mix of excitement and guilt."Jerry, I'm sorry to hear that. That must be really tough for you."Jerry let out a heavy sigh. "Yeah, it is. But honestly, a part of me is relieved. I've been unhappy in this marriage for a long time. And now, I can finally be with you, Ella. Just like we've always talked about."Ella's heart skipped a beat at Jerry's words. She had been waiting for this moment for years,
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
Vivian was walking towards her office when she saw her husband Jerry standing beside her boss Leo. She was surprised to see him there, and herheart began to race."What are you doing here, Jerry?" she asked, feeling a mix of confusion and apprehension.Jerry looked at her, his eyes filled with regret. "I came to talk to Leo," he said. "I wantedto warn him to stay away from you."Vivian's eyes widened in disbelief, and she turned to Leo. "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
