At 7 p.m. in Reno, Nevada.Maelie and Amanda entered a ballroom adorned in shades of red and white, decorated with red roses, red balloons, and much more, giving the room a romantic ambiance. Guests began to arrive, talking and shaking hands, while Maelie and her sister helped with the service, arranging desserts in small love-shaped cups on the tables, where there were plenty of beautiful wine glasses and other dishes."Leo, where's the special cake?" Maelie asked as she approached Leo, who had just arrived."Um, Olivia and the others are bringing it here. I just need to prepare the space for them to pass without the cake getting damaged," Leo replied, scanning the area."Okay..."Maelie stepped aside, and shortly after, her team arrived with their large, shiny maroon love-shaped cake, adorned with cream resembling flowers and chocolate leaves turned green."Be careful," she said anxiously.People there immediately noticed the cake, as did the cameramen and Amanda, who promptly captu
Throughout the party, Maelie tried to maintain a professional demeanor even though her heart was shattered seeing the intimacy between Erland and Tiffany, as if he didn't care about her presence there, not even greeting her and instead seemed happy with the party."We should just go home," Amanda suggested, looking at Maelie sitting across from her, enjoying the dinner like everyone else."I'm tired, I want to rest first," Maelie replied, her gaze fixed on the food in front of her, poking at it with her spoon as if she didn't want to eat it."Then let's stay at the hotel.""No... Let's just go back to our old home.""What?" Amanda widened her eyes."I need to calm down." Maelie sighed, then glanced at Erland chatting with one of the guests, accompanied by Tiffany. "I don't know what all of this means... I feel like he wants to kill me now... Killing me by hurting my heart... It's too bitter, suffocating... I feel like I can't do anything.""I hope he's just trying to cover up your rel
Tiffany followed Erland with trembling steps until they reached the room and released her grip strongly, causing her to fall onto the bed."Erland!" she exclaimed in panic.Erland remained silent, walking towards the window and leaning his hands there, gazing outside with his breath hurried due to emotions and anxiety, all imagined by Maelie.'This is stupid, really really stupid. I shouldn't have just stayed silent when she's here... I shouldn't have been kind to Tiffany!' he thought angrily, even clenching his fists, feeling the urge to hit something. 'she must be very hurt... If not, she wouldn't have fainted, I've caused her suffering...'"Erland!" Tiffany exclaimed irritably. "why are you acting like this? How could you treat me like this, like a slave, like a stranger... I know you don't love me anymore, but I'm still your wife!" she continued firmly.Erland remained silent."I love you... I'm willing to sacrifice my youth just to be with you always... But it turns out what I ge
Successfully making Tiffany fall asleep despite having to make love to her, Erland quickly got out of bed and put his pants back on, then immediately contacted Tommy who had been trying to reach him several times but he didn't answer because he was still focused on Tiffany."Hello, Tommy. How is she? Have you gone to the hospital to see her?" Erland asked anxiously, walking towards the balcony."No, she's not at the hospital," Tommy replied over the phone, instantly furrowing Erland's brow. "I've checked the nearest hospital and there's no new patient by the name of Maelie Luisa. I've also checked several hospitals but there's no patient under her name," he continued."Oh God..." Erland sighed, running his fingers through his hair backward, then biting his lower lip while thinking about where his second wife might be."I've also tried to contact Leo but got no answer, and even Amanda doesn't want to respond. So the conclusion is they're deliberately avoiding us," Tommy explained again
With haste, Erland left his car after stopping in front of Maelie's house. He walked towards the front door and saw Leo sleeping on a long chair on the porch, his face covered with a jacket."She must be here," he thought, immediately pushing the front door, which turned out to be unlocked."Mae... Mae!"He shouted, traversing the eerily quiet hall until he reached the bedroom door, pushing it open to find it unlocked as well."Sweetheart..."He immediately halted upon seeing Amanda standing near the bathroom door as if waiting for someone. He hurriedly approached her with concern."Where's my wife?""She's inside, she's been vomiting," Amanda replied anxiously."Why did you bring her here instead? She should be in the hospital!""Just ask her!" Amanda exclaimed irritably. "This is all because of you, so don't get mad at me!" she continued firmly, then left.Erland sighed, trying to contain his emotions, realizing it was all his fault. He immediately pushed open the bathroom door, fin
"We're going to the hospital, okay?" Erland looked at Maelie with hopeful looks.Maelie sighed deeply, distancing herself from Erland by lying down with her back turned to him."I hate hospitals," she whispered."But you need to go to the hospital..." Erland held Maelie's beautiful but cold feet and gently massaged them. "Come on... Don't you want the best for our baby? I know you're a good mother... You won't keep suffering, you love our baby.""I know, but I really don't like hospitals... I won't be able to sleep well, and I don't like medication either... And if you follow me to the hospital, what if your family finds out about your possible affair?" Maelie said anxiously. "I'm worried they'll track your whereabouts because you left the party abruptly. That would be really bad.""No one will be able to track me, not even my father."Maelie let out a rough breath, then lay down and looked at Erland beneath her, considering him and remembering how Tiffany had been so eager for his at
At 7 a.m., Reno, Nevada.Tiffany lazed around in her hotel room, lost in thought, imagining Erland being with Maelie to the point of completely ignoring her.'He's just sweet to calm me down, then he hurts me again,' she thought, wiping away the tears that streamed down her cheeks. "It's Okay... I'll just stay silent now. But don't blame me if my retaliation hurts more than this... I swear, you two won't be able to be together again!" she said angrily, her eyes filled with vengeance until they shifted to the open door.Rosalia entered the room with a worried look, approaching Tiffany sitting on the bed."Sweetie, are you okay?" she asked."Yeah, I just feel nauseous and dizzy," Tiffany replied with a thin smile, but in her heart, she thought, 'Of course I'm not okay... Your damn son left me just like that just to be with that damn whore!'"Where's Erland?""Uh... He... He left early in the morning for work. He had a breakfast appointment with a client to discuss work."Rosalia furrowe
Erland stood, leaning against the door frame, watching Dr. Han examine Maelie's pregnancy in the special room he had prepared for all health-related matters."I think I miscalculated," Dr. Han said, looking at the monitor displaying the situation inside the womb.Erland approached, furrowing his brow, and Maelie looked concerned."What happened?" Maelie asked."Umm... Don't worry, it's not something bad," Dr. Han, wearing a grey suit and a white coat, replied confidently. "From what I see here, your pregnancy is around 16 weeks, and there is more than one baby, that's why hence the baby bump," he continued.Erland's eyes widened, but he smiled slowly, while Maelie was stunned, unable to speak."That's why you've been feeling weak... You're carrying twins, so the burden is twice as much as carrying one baby," Dr. Han explained. "But this is good news... They're growing well, and you should focus on their growth so they develop normally without any issues, and the same goes for you," he
