Chapter 1 Wedding Anniversary
"Mark, we need to talk right now."
Mark Ferro, coming home from work in his janitor uniform, was surprised by his wife Celia's words.
He expected to greet her lovingly and give her a gift. Tomorrow, they would celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
"Yes, Celia. I'm listening," Mark closed the door, approaching her.
Celia's facial expression, however, didn't invite Mark to affection and hugs. She stood with crossed arms, her face indicating anger, a desire to vent.
"Mark, we need to end this deplorable situation in our lives," Celia continued, "You and I work in the lowest positions at the company, we barely have enough to eat, and you can't give me what I need, let alone what I want, for a long time."
Mark swallowed hard, understanding his wife's words. "I know, dear, but—"
"That's why I've already decided. I want a divorce!"
Celia didn't even give Mark a chance to try to argue.
Her words echoed in Mark's mind for a few seconds.
He thought Celia was just going to complain about life. That he was already used to.
He had everything planned. Even if Celia wasn't 100% comfortable, they would celebrate their anniversary.
After the celebration, Mark would talk openly with Celia and reveal something he had hidden from her for a year.
But now, Celia is asking for a divorce!
Confused, Mark shook his head as if he hadn't heard correctly. "Celia... What do you mean?"
"I think you understood me very well," Celia spoke with contempt, "But what can be expected from someone like you? You're incapable of understanding what I say and what I want."
"Celia, did you have a bad day at work? Let's talk..." Mark tried to put his arm around Celia.
But as if Mark's arm were an eel, Celia quickly dodged him, heading to the kitchen.
"Don't touch me! You disgust me!"
Mark didn't give up and followed her.
He knew Celia had every right to complain. The apartment they lived in was small and needed repairs.
The neighborhood was dangerous, and people weren't well-treated even if they didn't engage in bad activities.
In fact, Mark had always suspected that he and Celia only got low-level jobs because of their address.
Mark took a deep breath, "Celia, let's talk calmly. You're making a big mistake."
Celia, who was facing away and leaning on the sink, breathing deeply, turned to him with anger in her eyes.
"The mistake I made was marrying you a year ago!"
"Don't talk like that, Celia!" Mark defended himself, "We loved each other when we got married."
"But just love doesn't fill our bellies or pay the bills!" Celia retorted, "Look around you, Mark! Are you satisfied with everything we've 'achieved' so far?"
"Celia, if you calm down, I can explain better—"
"I'm tired of your excuses. Save your breath!" Celia shouted.
"You're upset, but when you calm down—"
"I won't calm down with you around. You've deeply disappointed me. Yes, we're completing a year of marriage, and that's why I started thinking and looking back on our lives."
Celia spewed these hurtful words at Mark.
"Can't you remember one good thing we've experienced together?" Mark asked with his head down.
Scoffing, Celia replied, "If there was anything, it was buried in the middle of millions of bad moments I've spent with you!
"And you know what's the worst thing? It's that when I met you, you had a different aura... You didn't seem like a loser to me! It's like I fell for a trick and ruined my life with you!" Celia raged furiously.
Mark took a deep breath. Celia wasn't wrong.
When they met, Mark was a different person. But to marry Celia, he had to be the person he is today.
However, all of this would change starting tomorrow, but Celia had decided to ruin everything today.
Celia had a year to ask for a divorce, but she decided to ask for it today! That was too absurd for Mark to accept!
How do I make her wait at least until tomorrow?
Suddenly, Mark remembered the package he brought and was still holding it. He smiled and extended the gift to her.
"What's this thing?" Celia reacted with disgust.
"Your wedding anniversary gift. Open it. You'll change your mind once you understand everything," Mark urged her, approaching slowly.
Celia finally took the package and examined it carefully.
Mark smiled slightly.
An exquisite small box. But the point is what inside.
If Celia opened the package, her decision about the divorce would dissolve.

Here Comes the Lord Chapter 804 We Can’t Fire Him
Briana strode with determined steps into her domain, in the offices of Glamour, with her expression fierce. She found Karl lounging at Luana’s desk, the young fiancée nestled comfortably on his lap. They laughed softly together until Briana’s stormy presence silenced them.“Brie, what’s wrong?” Luana asked, blinking at the sudden change of atmosphere.“We need to speak, all of us,” Briana said, her voice clipped. She shut the door behind her with a resonant thud, advancing toward them like a general on the march.Karl raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “Some sort of problem?”“There will be,” Briana retorted, “when Jake Brett accuses Glamour of wrongful termination and creates a scandal online.”Karl rolled his eyes, dismissive. “So the coward has gone to complain as if he were still in grade school?”“Karl!” Briana’s exasperation burst forth. “Since when is speaking out against injustice a sign of immaturity? Should Jake Brett remain silent while you harass him without pause?”At Karl’s nud

Here Comes the Lord Chapter 803 Claudia Has Her Own Assistant
At the very same time, in the refined restaurant frequented by the elite of Glamour, Briana and Mark sat over lunch, the air between them brittle with unspoken accusations.“And so?” Briana asked coldly. “Are you going to do anything to stop Celia from once again becoming the ‘main attraction’ for the men in suits?”Mark kept his eyes on his plate, his fork moving deliberately. “I cannot force anyone. Celia accepted their offer to return.”The contradiction struck Briana like a slap. Her fork clattered against the porcelain as she leaned back, crossing her arms, her posture radiating indignation. When Mark finally looked up, he saw her like a sulking adolescent, furious at the world.“Are you serious?” she demanded.“Darling, what is happening with you?” he asked, genuinely baffled.Her expression darkened. “That’s not the answer you gave Jake.”His head snapped up, his face paling. “Jake?”“I heard you,” she pressed, her voice trembling with both anger and betrayal. “I heard you talk

Here Comes the Lord Chapter 802 Celia Is No Victim
Once seated, Celia noticed the contrast between their plates. His was dominated by greens, vegetables, and fruit, while hers was laden with the heavier delights she had dared to keep.“Let’s begin,” Gilson said smoothly. “Both with the meal — and the interview.”Celia cleared her throat, determined to hold her composure. “Mr. Vasconcelos, how have you been since your heart attack?”His features softened at her concern. “Much better, thank you, Miss Soares. May I call you Celia?”Her smile brightened, gentle but edged with playfulness. “You’ll be my employer. You may call me whatever you wish.”A nervous grin flickered across Gilson’s lips as he murmured his thanks. It was fortunate, he thought privately, that he was seated — fortunate that the tablecloth hid the sudden, irrepressible stir of desire beneath his elegant suit.******Elsewhere, in the same restaurant where many from the Glamour offices often lunched, Briana sat at a table across from her husband. She seemed distant, her

Here Comes the Lord Chapter 801 Help Us, Mark Ferro
Jake strode down the corridor with a thunderous expression, his jaw set as if he were preparing for battle.Karl had remained behind, giving Jake the opportunity to confront Mark alone.Employees who crossed his path quickly lowered their heads, unwilling to engage with the fury etched across his face. Without hesitation, he pushed through the door of Mark Ferro’s office and disappeared inside.Moments later, Briana walked the same corridor, her heart alight with joy at the thought of preparing the baby’s room.She was on her way to share the news with her husband, already imagining how their lunch together would be colored with happy plans.Her hand reached for the brass handle of the office door when a voice — sharp, angry, and almost venomous — rang out from within.“You promised you would help us, Manager Ferro!” Jake’s tone cracked through the air like a whip.Briana froze, startled. Instead of entering, she pressed her back against the doorframe, her pulse quickening. She remain

Here Comes the Lord Chapter 800 A Job Interview Turned Into a Lunch
Karl’s fury reached its peak when Jake hurled the script in his face. It didn’t hurt, of course, but the gesture carried all the venom and disrespect the actor harbored toward the supervisor of ‘Times of Glory’.“Do you want to be fired, or are you begging for dismissal with cause?” Karl asked, his tone sharp, almost menacing.“You don’t have the power for that!” Jake shot back, defiant.Karl narrowed his eyes. “Do you really want to test your luck?”The younger man bent to gather the scattered pages, his hands trembling with indignation. “This is absurd! Celia was forced out for reasons that had nothing to do with the company, and now you want to pull the same stunt with me?”“You’re not indispensable to Glamour,” Karl replied coldly. “Your character can die in ‘Times of Glory,’ or we can replace you in the blink of an eye.”Jake sneered. “Recasting actors? That’s so… soap opera.”Karl’s expression darkened. “Show some respect for the series you work on. You see? You’ve just handed m

Here Comes the Lord Chapter 799 Going Back to The Company She Fled
“If you are intent on starting a war before she even sets foot inside the building,” Gilson muttered, “I hardly know how to respond. Sandro will soon be buzzing demands in my ear, and I, lately, have been making every effort to avoid unnecessary stress.”Claudia groaned and dragged her hands down her face in frustration. “Oh, so now you’ll use your heart condition as an excuse to shirk your duty as CEO?”“And what exactly is that duty, according to you?”“To keep that tramp from reintegrating herself into this company, and—”She was cut short by the sharp ring of Gilson’s desk phone. The piercing sound shattered the air like a gavel. Relieved by the interruption, Gilson snatched the receiver with visible eagerness, as if even the most tedious business call were preferable to his wife’s tirade.“Presidency,” he said curtly.“Hello, CEO Vasconcelos,” came the receptionist’s voice on the line. “Miss Celia Soares is here in the lobby. She says she has a job interview scheduled.”“Send her
