Mariane received a letter from the office of the civil Registrar, three days after David signed their divorce agreement. After reading the letter, saying that their marriage was now null, Mariane couldn’t help but daze. It feels like there was a hole in her heart, and she couldn’t explain why she was feeling empty inside. It was like she was trying to fill the glass with water, but it couldn’t be full. ‘I should be happy now that I am single again, right?’ Mariane thought as she tilted her head. Mariane sighed. She stood up to prepare for her first day of work. Today, she will start working at David’s company as a new accounting clerk. Mariane feels a little nervous about meeting David again. Mariane remembered the last time they met when the three of them went for a walk in a themed park, where they had a three-day itinerary there. After they had a photoshoot, David took all the pictures they received from the photographer. And after the fighting incident, their whole day was quie

"Mariane... Mariane!" Mariane was back from her thoughts when one of her office mates knocked on her desk.She didn’t notice that she was in a daze for a long time. She was thinking of her three days trips together with Jacob and David. When they went to the theme park, David left them without a word, and the man in black.“Uh, I’m sorry. What were you saying?” She asked.Her colleague rolled her eyes irritatingly. “I said get ready. The CEO is on his way. And he’ll be having a weekly office visit in each department.” Her colleague informed her.“He-he’s going to pay a visit in each department?” Mariane asked, who looked stunned.“Are you deaf? I just said that earlier, didn't I? Where is your brain, and you seem out of your mind?” Her colleague shook her head in disappointment. And left her cubicle.Mariane frowned at the behavior of her colleague. ‘She doesn’t need to be rude. I’m just asking, what’s wrong with that?’ Mariane pouted.Mariane cleaned up her desk. It was her first tim

“What are the things she asked you to do?” David asked.Mariane’s anger subsides after David explained that it was not his doing. And he believed him. After all, she knew David never lied… except for saying that he loves her.“She didn’t give me the files I need to learn. She ordered me around. Do all the photocopying, buy them their food or drinks, deliver the files to other departments, and even clean up their mess. Sometimes she asked me to fix the files even if it was past my work time.”“Is that the reason why you go home late?” David asked making Mariane nod.“Yes,” she answered with her mind still confused about why the supervisor did that to her.“John, call Miss Morgan,” David ordered.Miss Martina Morgan was Mariane’s superior and the supervisor of the accounting department. She’s been working for five years, and it was the first time, David receives a complaint from their department. David couldn’t believe that Martina would do such a thing. What’s more… it was Mariane whom

A private plane lands at the airport, carrying a woman returning for revenge. She adjusted his sunhat over her head as the wind nearly blew it away. Men in black suits immediately met her to pick her up.“Welcome back, madam,” the men in black bowed at her, and they greeted her with respect.‘Ahhh... There’s no place like home. It’s good to return to the land of my birth.’ Agatha smiled and took a deep breath as she savored the air.When she remembered the man she once loved and saw him, the girl immediately squealed in anger. His hands clenched and his eyes were glaring with anger.‘But now that I return, your blood, David, will spill on my hands. Because of what you did to me in the past, you and your family… I will kill you all.’Agatha took a deep breath to calm herself. “Take me to the coffee shop and call Martina. Take her there.”“Yes, Madam,” The man in a suit bowed his head.As soon as she arrived at the coffee shop, Agatha instructed the manager to close the shop. So that n

“Jacob... My son…” Mariane muttered as she walked down the road that the van that took her took.Disheveled hair, tears that dried onto her face, lost slippers, and three hours of walking on the road without knowing where to go. Mariane got devastated after Jacob got caught by the unknown men. Her mind went black and didn’t think of what she should do. Mariane kept on crying and muttering Jacob’s name. She didn’t care what people might be thinking now, as they saw her walking down the road with no slippers. She continued walking until she stopped in front of the building.It was the building David owned. Without thinking, Mariane went inside and hurriedly entered the elevator. In the elevator, Tristan and their other colleagues noticed her. But Mariane was too clouded to see them. All she could think about right now was her son and nothing else.“Mariane?” Tristan approached her. Seeing Mariane, who looks miserable and disheveled, makes him frown.“What happened to you?” he asked wor
