Chapter forty two.Maria begged, "Please talk to me, you're scaring me."But Caleb's expression turned menacing as he stood up and walked towards her. Maria backed away, her eyes fixed on his."Ca.. Caleb..." she stuttered, but he ignored her, his eyes blazing with anger.Maria continued to back away until her back hit the wall. She swallowed hard, trying to speak.Caleb towered over her, his phone thrust in her face. Maria's eyes widened as she saw an email notification of a debit from Caleb's account, dated the day she went on a date with the General of West.Her eyes darted back to Caleb, who was seething with rage. "Who did this?" he demanded.But Maria remained silent, her heart racing with fear. Caleb's anger was intimidating, and she was too scared to speak.When Caleb barked, "When I ask you a question, you answer!" Maria flinched, closing her eyes.She whispered, "Me…”Caleb's eyes blazed with anger. "You?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.Maria swallowed hard. "Yes, me

Chapter forty four.Maria's eyes widened in horror as she took in the scene before her. She blinked twice, her mind refusing to accept the reality of what she was seeing. She stumbled backward, stepping out of the room, before steeling herself and stepping back inside."Babe, who's this?" The lady who was having sex with Maria asked, her voice trembling with rage and hurt.Caleb's expression darkened, and he frowned. "Leave, I'll talk to you later," he growled, dismissing her.But Maria's attention was fixed on the woman, who was reluctantly gathering her clothes. Maria felt a wave of disgust wash over her as she watched the woman dress, her anger simmering just below the surface.As the woman walked past Maria, she deliberately bumped her shoulder, sending a spark of fury through Maria's veins. Maria closed her eyes, her fists clenched, struggling to contain her rage.When she opened her eyes, Caleb was standing before her, his clothes casually rearranged, his expression nonchala

Chapter forty six.They gathered at the dining table. Rose's eyes darted between Caleb and Maria, her suspicions simmering just below the surface. "Caleb, won't you sit opposite your wife?" she asked, her voice laced with an undercurrent of expectation.Caleb's gaze locked onto Maria's, the tension between them palpable. It had been days since "the incident.” Without a word, Caleb pushed his chair back. "I'll eat in my room," he said, his tone flat and detached.Rose's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze flicking to Maria and back to Caleb. "Maria, go serve your husband," she instructed, her voice firm but laced with a hint of curiosity.Maria's eyes flashed with a mix of frustration and resignation. She wanted to protest, to demand why she had to cater to Caleb's every whim, but she knew better. With a quiet murmur, she stood up, her movements stiff, and began to plate the food. Rose watched her closely, her eyes lingering on Maria's every move, searching for any sign of what might

Chapter forty Eight.Maria's anger flared as Ethan seemed unfazed by the encounter. Instead of apologizing, he acted nonchalant, like he owned the place. A waiter passed by, and Maria swiftly grabbed a glass of wine from his tray. With a swift motion, she poured the wine directly onto Ethan's face.The waiter gasped, "Ma'am, do—"But Ethan's calm demeanor silenced her. He raised his hand, and the waiter nodded, backing away. "You may go," Maria said, her voice firm. The waiter hurried off.As the wine dripped from Ethan's face, he chuckled. "You're lucky it's only wine I have access to. Otherwise, you'd have faced worse,” She said. Maria's actions had no effect on his attitude, and his calm demeanor unnerved her. She walked closer, folding her arms across her chest, a smirk on her face. Ethan didn't flinch, his hands still clasped behind his back."I hope you don't regret this," Ethan said, his voice low and even.Maria's smirk faltered for a moment, but she regained her composure

Chapter fifty.Maria's eyes blazed with anger as she hissed, "Stay away from my man." Victoria turned to face her, a hint of amusement on her face. "I'm sure you're not talking to me," she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.Maria moved closer, her voice rising. "Who else would I be talking to? Husband snatcher!" Victoria corrected her, shaking her head, "No! Ex-husband. Ethan is your ex-husband. Move on, girl. You're married."Maria's face twisted in rage, her teeth gritted. She hated Victoria's confidence. "Caleb and I are getting divorced," she spat. "Watch me win Ethan back."Victoria smiled, unfazed. "I love a lady who dreams. Ethan can never be yours." With that, she walked away, pushing Maria aside. Maria's eyes flashed with anger as she almost lost her balance.Frustrated, Maria hit her leg on the floor, her hands clenched into fists. "I won't let them win," she muttered to herself. "No, I won't.”Rose walked up to Maria. “It's time to home,” she said and Maria nodded.
