"Who are you to block my way?" she shot back, her voice laced with attitude.Victoria's gaze flicked to the clock on the wall before returning to Maria. "It's 6:00 am, and you're already in a man's house. That's not exactly something to brag about," she said, her tone dripping with disapproval.Maria's smile was sly as she stepped closer to Victoria. "In case you've forgotten, I'm not in some random man's house. I'm in my fiancé's house," she said, wiggling her fingers to emphasize her point. "And I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.”Victoria's eyes narrowed, her arms still folded across her chest. "Save the theatrics, Maria," she said, her voice firm but controlled. "I don't care about your engagement. What I care about is the fact that you're sneaking around Ethan's house at 6:00 am. Wait till you get married, that's if he even gets

She showered him with affection, kissing his forehead. Her father chuckled warmly, "Anything for you, child."As Maria turned to leave, her father called out her name, and she stopped, turning back to face him.

"What's that, dear?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the file.Maria's father stared at the file, and Maria quickly responded, "Oh, that? I got a job offer, and I need Dad's signature." Rose's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, you got a job and you didn't tell us? Let me see," she said, stretching her hands out to touch the file.But Maria was quick to react, removing the file from Rose's reach. She stared at her sister in mock annoyance. "What are we fighting? I just want to keep it private for now," Rose said.Maria rolled her eyes. "You have no business with it," she added, her tone firm but controlled."Oh, now I have no business with it?"

Caleb's eyes widened in shock, and he stuttered, "Wh...what?" Maria smirked, enjoying his reaction. "What's what?" she repeated, her tone playful.She walked over to the bed and sat down, crossing her legs as she continued, "We are getting a divorce by the end of the week." Caleb looked like he had been punched in the gut, his face pale and shocked. He used his hands to wipe his ear, as if wondering if he had heard correctly. "You said what?" he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. Maria chuckled, a low, throaty sound.Caleb's face turned red with anger and shock, his eyes wide with disbelief. "What are you talking about, Maria?" he
chapter seventy one

On her way back, she stopped at a restaurant to pick up some cookies for her family. When she arrived home, she was greeted by the warm sight of her loved ones gathered together. She smiled, distributing the cookies among them.Her father asked, "And what's the occasion?" Maria's smile broadened as she replied, "Something big is coming, so I thought it'd be better to celebrate." One of her family members chimed in, "Caleb's family accepted him?" Maria's expression turned sour, and she let out a hiss."Must you spoil the fun?" Maria said, her tone playful, but immediately followed it up with an apology. Rose chuckled, seeming to enjoy the lighthearted exchange. "She didn't say anything bad, because I don't think there's any other better news than that," Rose said, staring at her suspiciously. Maria moved forwar
Chapter seventy
Chapter seventy.Maria giggled as Ethan pulled her into a tight hug, his warm breath whispering against her ear. "Bring the papers and watch your life change!"Maria pulled away from the hug, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean by 'bring the papers and watch your life change'?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity. He shook his head, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "It means only one thing – our life will change if we get married. It will definitely change," he said, his words dripping with implication. Maria nodded, a sigh of relief escaping her lips. Ethan brought her hands to his lips, kissing them softly. "Let me get going," he said, but Maria's question caught him off guard. "Won't you open the door for me?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Ethan's smirk deepened as he raised an eyebrow. "You're capable of opening doors yourself, aren't you?" he said, his tone laced with a mix of irritation and arrogance. Maria's eyes flashed with a hint
chapter sixty nine
Chapter sixty nine.Don's eyes widened in shock as his man delivered the news. "The children's mother is missing?" he repeated, his voice laced with incredulity. He dropped the shisha he was smoking, the sound of it hitting the floor echoing through the room."What do you mean?" he demanded, his tone turning cold. "We haven't seen her in two days, and the husband keeps saying she's sick?" He listened as his man explained how they had barged into the house and found no one.The don's face darkened, his anger simmering just below the surface. "How dare they think they can deceive me?" he growled, his fist clenched. "Go get me the father now!" he barked, and the man bowed down, hastily retreating.The don turned to another of his men, his eyes blazing with fury. "Bring those bastards of children here now!" he spat, his voice venomous.The children were dragged in, their small bodies struggling against the men's grip. The don scoffed, standing up, his eyes cold and menacing. "Tie the
chapter sixty Eight
Chapter sixty Eight.Caleb's eyes lingered on the empty doorway, his mind reeling with confusion and concern. What was Ethan doing in their house? He scoffed, his thoughts racing with worst-case scenarios. "I hope he didn't find out I'm involved with his spiked drink saga," he muttered to himself. "If he did, I'm ruined." With a hiss, he quickly put on his coat and slipped out of the room.Meanwhile, Maria rushed into the sitting room, her heart still racing . Her eyes landed on Ethan and she froze, a nervous smile spreading across her face. She fidgeted with her clothes, trying to compose herself. "You're here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Ethan nodded curtly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he fought the urge to roll his eyes. "Yes," he said, his tone neutral, but his body language betraying his irritation."Have a seat, my son," Maria's father said, his voice dripping with false familiarity.Ethan's expression turned cold, and he chuckled, the sound laced with s

The next morning, Maria washed her clothes and took it outside to dry.Maria was drying her clothes outside when her neighbor emerged from her house, laughing mockingly. "Someone's gone broke and now they're back to eating at their father's house," she said, clearly referring to Maria. Maria ignored the jab, continuing to hang up her clothes. The neighbor continued to taunt, "And didn't someone used to brag about never doing chores? Guess some people can't stay above manual labor after all." Maria remained unfazed, but deep down the words get to her.The neighbor leaned against the wall separating their homes, her voice dripping with malice. "I heard the Sawyer family kicked your husband out, and now he's begging for work. Your ex-husband, sorry my bad, General of West, won't give him a job," she said, trying to provoke Maria.Maria's anger simmered just below the surface, but she chose to ignore the woman, refusing to give her the satisfaction of a reaction. Maria had previous
