Chapter 1 Wedding Anniversary
last update2024-04-10 10:54:08

"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.

    Briana got up from her desk, not knowing how to dodge this eternal war. “Karl, you need to understand that I am pregnant.” Karl wagged his finger. “Don’t your use pregnancy as an excuse to avoid doing what needs to be done.” “Why is it so imperative that I fire Celia?” Briana hesitated, hoping Karl would give up out of exhaustion. “Why is it so imperative that Celia REMAINS at the company?” Karl still had a fierce expression. “Do you want to wait for that shameless woman to focus her attention on Mark?” “NO!” Briana yelled, terrified. “That will never happen.” “It will, if you keep around such a treacherous person,” Karl replied sincerely. Briana narrowed her eyes at him. “You seem to speak from experience. Before, you were a defender.” “What’s the point of defending Celia when she keeps getting herself into trouble and misunderstandings all the time?” Karl cleverly hides his own part in this mess. “People are talking that I had an affair with Celia after the incident with the

  • Chapter 772 A Pertinent Question

    Mark went to the pool area of Ferro House and found Luana sunbathing in a bikini that Karl would have liked. Relaxed comfortably in a lounge chair, she smiled behind her sunglasses. “Hello, Mark! How is Brie?” “Why do you ask?” Mark approached her, serious. “Because I was thinking afterwards: maybe Karl or Celia avoided going to work, leaving Brie alone. Since she’s pregnant...” Mark smiled faintly. Everyone avoided working, but now they’re changing their minds. Everyone — except Celia, the one responsible for all this, who was content to binge-watch series on the comfort of her sofa. Mark was about to say something but held back in time, remembering he had accepted that Celia stay at home. “Did you want to say something, Mark?” Luana noticed. “Uh... You don’t need to worry, Luana. Karl showed up to work. Actually, I needed him to come.” “Oh,” Luana simply said that. Mark felt frustrated and stirred up the conversation, “Aren’t you going to say anything else?” “Is there any

    Katrina turned to Patricio, grateful for the support he gave her, even though she caught him off guard.“Patricio, thank you so much. I know we didn’t plan this before, but...”“Hey, what’s there to plan?” Patricio smiled to soothe her. “You need to communicate more with me before making decisions. However, I’ve always thought about formalizing our union.”“You swear?” Katrina’s eyes sparkled like an infatuated teenager.“Yes. Out of everything your family says, at least that makes sense.” Patricio hugged Katrina. “After seeing how your uncle despises and ignores family ties, I want to marry you more than ever and get you out of Vasconcelos Mansion. Our child won’t be born into a toxic home with crazy people.”“My parents aren’t crazy, dear,” Katrina raised an eyebrow.“You understand me. From what it looks, it’s your uncle who calls the shots in the family,” Patricio released her.“That wasn’t how it was before!” Katrina crossed her arms in defiance. “My father was the boss. But beca

    The cardiology office where Gilson entered was NOT Vargas’s, but with Lord Ferro’s influence, that’s what happened.Gilson even looked at the diploma of “Dr.” Vargas on the wall behind the doctor, who was smiling kindly. “You may come in, Mr. Vasconcelos.”Gilson entered, closed the door, and sat down.“How have you been feeling?” Vargas asked in the same tone all doctors use.“I’m feeling better, doctor. It doesn’t even seem like such an incident happened to me.” Gilson smiled. “I’ve been following the diet, tolerating my older brother, and I started exercising again to get my abs back — the ones that impressed my wife... Uh... I mean...”Gilson felt he overstepped and turned red as a beet. Vargas blinked in complicity.“No need to be embarrassed, Mr. Vasconcelos. Many men, after surviving a cardiac arrest, wonder when they can resume intimate activity with their wife — if it’s even possible to resume, to be honest.”“Well, since we’re being frank and open...” Gilson offered a weak s

    Mark reacted with horror upon hearing Karl say he no longer wants to work with Jake. He leaned against the wall in the Glamour corridor, not wanting to block the flow of staff. “What are you talking about, my friend? Do you want to take a leave now?” Karl sat in his chair. “Hey, it’s not my fault your ex-wife showed up at a party she said she wouldn’t attend and ruined everything!” Mark took a deep breath. “Karl, I understand you’re upset with Celia. But she didn’t show up to work today. She asked for some days off. Luana also didn’t show up. Couldn’t you at least go to work?” “If I go, I’ll have to go to the ‘Times of Glory’ studios,” Karl replied negatively. “But what does Jake Brett have to do with all this?” Mark frowned, not wanting to hear the answer. “He was at the party with Celia, wasn’t he? Why didn’t her boyfriend stop her from doing something crazy? Was he complicit? Besides, why does this so-called boyfriend let Celia do whatever she wants, including sleeping with

  • Chapter 768 I Can’t Work with Him Anymore

    Gilson reacted with horror to what Claudia said in the CEO’s office of Vasconcelos Company. “Darling, what are you saying? Nadir, exaggerating and crossing the line with my brother? Since when do they have a more interesting private life than ours? My brother has always been straight-laced, squared!” Gilson felt a slight envy. “That’s why I’m telling you they’re doing this on purpose to rub it in your face, mocking the fact that we’re waiting for the green light from the doctor.” Claudia smiled, pleased to have provoked her husband. Gilson grabbed the phone from the desk. “I’ll schedule an appointment with Dr. Vargas right now.” Claudia kept her smile, already planning a romantic night in her mind. She whispered softly, counting on her fingers, “Candles, Spanish red wine, ‘80s ballads...” “Hello!” Gilson’s voice cut off Claudia’s thoughts. “I want to schedule an appointment with Dr. Vargas. This is Gilson Vasconcelos, CEO of Vasconcelos Company. I’ve been treated by him due to a
