As soon as Marcellus settled into his car, he hit the gas pedal and raced towards Larisa's parents' house. It dawned on him that despite being married to Larisa for two years, he had never taken the time to visit her parents. He felt a wave of guilt wash over him as he realized how much he had neglected his relationship with his former in-laws.As he drove, Marcellus couldn't help but reflect on the events that had led him to this moment. His divorce with Larisa had been messy, As he pulled up to the curb outside Larisa's parents' house, Marcellus took a deep breath and steeled himself for what lay ahead. He knew that this visit would be difficult, but he also knew that it was necessary if he ever hoped to find closure and move on from his failed marriage.After pulling up at the curb in front of Larisa's parents' house, Marcellus stepped out of the car and paused for a few minutes, taking in his surroundings. He gazed up at the large, imposing house and the manicured lawn that surro

Ashley entered the bedroom and saw Larisa sitting on the bed with a smile on her face. "Hey, how was your day at the office?" Larisa asked."It was fine," Ashley replied. "But what's got you so happy?"Larisa's smile grew wider as she reached for a small envelope on the bedside table. "My passport arrived! My dad brought it over from the agency."Ashley's face lit up. "That's great news, Larisa! When do you leave?""In two days," Larisa said, her voice filled with excitement.Ashley couldn't contain her happiness for her friend. "Finally, you can be free from Marcellus and his manipulation."Larisa nodded in agreement. "Yes, Ash. I want to give birth to this child in the states without Marcellus' knowledge."Ashley sat on the bed, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I will miss you and my Godchild a lot," she said to LarisaLarisa glance at her, surprised. "Godchild?" she asked.Ashley nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"Please, Ashley, hear me out," Alex pleaded. Ashley refused to listen as she continued to sort out the bill of quantities." I don't want to hear anything," Ashley said Alex begged Ashley to listen to him for several minutes."Please, Ashley, for old times' sake," Alex said. To which Ashley responded by asking, "Okay, what do you want?""Can you tell me what caused Larisa's parents to ban Marcellus from their house and forbid him from seeing their daughter?" Alex inquired." I do, but I don't think it's my place to share" Ashley replied."Why aren't Larisa's numbers going through?" Alex asked."She changed her number," Ashley replied."Can I have her new number?" Alex inquired."No, she changed it for personal reasons," Ashley said as she continued sorting out the bill of quantities on her computer."Where is Larisa right now?" Alex asked."She's on her way to the airport," Ashley replied."What?" Alex exclaimed in surprise."On her way to the airport, why?" Alex asked in confusion.

As Marcellus's car careened into the opposite lane, a sense of panic set in among the witnesses from the cars he had overtaken. They watched in horror as a large truck came hurtling towards him, its horn blaring."Oh my God, he's going to crash!" cried one of the witnesses, as he slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.Another witness fumbled with his phone, trying to dial 911 as quickly as possible. "There's been an accident at the intersection! Close to Ontario International airport, a truck just collided with a car, it looks bad!" he exclaimed into the phone.As the truck collided heavily with Marcellus's car, the sound of metal crunching against metal filled the air. The impact was so intense that Marcellus lost consciousness immediately, leaving the witnesses feeling helpless and frightened."Is he okay?!" asked one of the witnesses, as he approached the wreckage of the car."I don't know, he looks pretty bad," replied another witness, his voice trembling w

"What happened?" Alex asked, still lying on the sofa. "Why did you run in here like that?" he asked again. Michael took a deep breath before replying, "I just got a call from the hospital. My boss was in an accident and he's currently undergoing surgery at Global Health Hospital." "What?!" Alex and Charles exclaimed in unison, jumping up from the sofa. "How bad is it?" Alex asked, his eyes wide with concern. "I'm not sure," Michael replied, looking worried. "But they said it was serious." "We need to get to the hospital now, we can call Marcellus' dad on our way," Alex suggested urgently.Suddenly, Marcellus' secretary, Michael, interjected, "I'll go with you guys. Let me just lock up the office first."Without hesitation, Michael swiftly locked the office and joined Alex and Charles As they rushed to the elevator, adrenaline pumping through their veins, Alex frantically pressed the button, silently urging it to arrive faster. The tension was palpable as they waited, each lost i
