2024-04-10 10:56:40Mark’s concern about the accident only lasted a few seconds after seeing that it had not caused any major consequences.
Still, it was very embarrassing for Adrian to crash his car into a RAM truck that was traveling smoothly, without dreaming that he would be hit by a careless driver.
Adrian got out of the car and immediately went to the owner of the other car, “Did you buy your driver’s license and it came in the mail?”
The driver of the other car squinted. “What are you talking about, man? You were the one who strayed from your lane! You weren’t looking ahead!”
Mark smiled slightly. Indeed, Adrian had parked on the wrong side (the driver’s seat would never be parallel to the sidewalk but in the middle of the street) and when he was supposed to get out, he got distracted because he wanted to provoke Mark.
The driver of the other car got out and started arguing with Adrian. Celia noticed that the driver was wearing light clothes, probably returning from a camping trip with friends due to his choice of vehicle.
The driver was also attractive, making Celia secretly smile.
But upon realizing that Mark was still on the sidewalk, Celia quickly got out of the car and joined Adrian to discuss the indefensible.
“You knew my friend was distracted and went straight in front of him anyway!” Celia increased the absurdity of the argument.
“I couldn’t dodge in time!” The driver complained.
Adrian whined, “Your car is fancier and bigger than mine. Look, the dent got worse on my car. With you, not even a scratch happened!”
“Then let’s call the police so they can decide!” The driver held out his cell phone.
Adrian’s legs shook a little. “Ehr... I don’t think you need to involve the police, my friend. Maybe if we discuss some monetary values...”
While the discussion was going on, Mark looked the other way and noticed another car, a red Aston Martin, approaching and parking behind the Dodge Ram.
When the driver’s door opened, Mark saw a woman wearing glasses and business clothes. He smiled, recognizing her.
As Linda approached, she was surprised by the car crash. “Lord Ferro, what happened here? Why are you in the middle of this mess?”
“The woman arguing over there is my ex-wife.” Mark smiled slightly.
“WHAT?” Linda looked incredulously at the young lady who had left her boss for that clumsy paunch.
She didn’t witness the accident, but she could tell by looking at Adrian’s car that he was in the wrong.
Shaking her head, Linda turned to Mark, “Lord Ferro, I came to get you. Please, let’s get out of here and avoid this ridiculous scene.”
Linda’s voice reached Celia’s ears and she was shocked.
“Hey, who are you, and why are you talking to my ex-husband in that tone?” She approached them.
“Are you Lady Ferro?”
“EX-Lady Ferro, with great pleasure!” Celia lifted her chin.
“I’m sorry for the bad decision you made.” Linda couldn’t control herself, “You’re the perfect definition of ‘exchanging the right for the doubtful’.”
Celia is mortified. “But who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”
“Watch what you say, Celia!” Mark warns her, “You’re causing a scene.”
Adrian approaches his ‘girlfriend’. “Celia, darling, don’t bother with these people. You don’t have to interfere in his life anymore.”
“Exactly.” Linda confirms, “You now have to worry about this citizen who got you into trouble as soon as the divorce came through.”
Adrian is also irritated, “Hey, miss, there’s no problem here. Me and the other driver there will solve this in a good way!”
Linda smiles mockingly. “You think you’re a prince, but you’re a frog that no princess will dare kiss!”
“WHAT?” Adrian turns to Mark. Does he have anything to do with this?
Mark and Linda looked at each other in understanding and decided not to give any further satisfaction. They leave and get into the Aston Martin.
Celia, Adrian, and the driver of the Dodge Ram were amazed as the luxury car disappeared from their sight.
Then came the realization on Celia’s part, “But... But... How is that possible? Where does Mark know that secretary from?”
“Did she look like a secretary?” Adrian asked dumbfounded, “With that big car...”
The owner of the Dodge Ram looked at them as if they were nothing more than fools. “Doesn’t it occur to you that those two are rich?”
“RICH?” Celia tilts her head back, “HA, HA, HA! My pal, I was his wife! He’s a janitor at the company I work for!”
“How do you explain that girl and the big car?” The driver crossed his arms.
“Ah, he must have hired that girl as an actress to come here and pretend to be rich in front of us.” Adrian can only think about this idea.
“That could have been it, Adrian.” Celia shakes her head, “Mark can’t be that rich and have lived with me in poverty.”

Nadir nearly had a heart attack. The shock was so violent she stumbled backward and tipped toward the open window.“Aaah!”Sandro froze for a fraction of a second, then reacted with the precision of an action hero.He sprinted forward, grabbed her before she could pitch outward, and hauled her safely back into the room.They stared at each other, their mutual terror slowly dissolving… and then they fell into another kiss, fiercer and more urgent than the first.******As dusk settled over the city, Karl and Luana reached their apartment building and halted in surprise the moment they reached the door. Two familiar figures were waiting for them in the hallway.“Dad? Mom?” Karl blurted.Octavio opened his arms wide. “Hello, son!”Jade waved cheerfully. “Hi, Luana!”Luana nudged Karl, silently insisting he be more polite. “Hello! We didn’t know you were coming.”“We saw your stories announcing you were back,” Jade said. “We couldn’t miss the chance.”Karl set a few suitcases down, dug in

When the door clicked shut, Mark turned to Briana with a mischievous smile.“I think they want to be alone.”“Looks like it,” she said warmly. “So now it’s just the two of us.”She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he gazed at her with that gallant charm she adored.“If you weren’t already pregnant,” he murmured, “this would be the perfect moment to conceive our heir.”She giggled sweetly. “He-he… Not for a few years now.”“That won’t stop me from keeping our fire alive,” he teased, leaning close, “especially when we can still do—”He whispered a certain bed position into her ear. Briana’s entire face erupted in crimson.Though only she had heard it, she reacted as if he’d announced it live on an international podcast!“MARK FERRO, YOU DOG!”She began swatting his broad shoulders, pretending to be furious, but laughter bubbled out of her uncontrollably. Mark laughed even harder, letting her “attack” him until he caught both her hands gently in his.“Hey, it’s not like we’ve never

The news lit Claudia up like a chandelier. She smiled so broadly she looked five years younger.“Really? I’ve been trying to do that for ages! How did you manage it?”"Caught her screwing Collins and other suits from the company in the underground garage,” Sandro answered with a nonchalant tone.He walked off, leaving her standing there, chin resting thoughtfully on her hand.“Maybe I should try that with Rodolfo…” she muttered under her breath. “It’d be a new and… interesting experience.”She glanced around to ensure no one had heard her.The sound of Gilson’s furious strokes echoed from the pool.Smirking, she headed toward the patio.Claudia reached the pool just as Gilson swam back to the edge for a break. He climbed out, water dripping down his body.In Claudia's mind, he rose in slow motion: muscular, virile, hair on his chest glistening, stomach sculpted into a six-pack... and not a swimsuit in sight!The Gilson she had married.But when she blinked, the vision snapped.

Mark frowned, trying to make sense of the chaos in his own home, and not liking what he heard.“Nadir,” he said slowly, “I know you want to discuss Bri’s diet with Julian while she’s pregnant.”“Mark…” she murmured, her voice timid.“But keep in mind he knows what he’s doing. His whole family works in gastronomy.”“I know—”Mark's voice sounded sterner. “And I will not tolerate mistreatment of my staff in my home.”Before the tension could rise further, Briana’s voice floated in from the dining room.“Sweetheart?”Nadir turned, and Briana stepped into view, wearing a modest swimsuit that accommodated her baby bump, a charming straw hat, and a light cover-up draped over her shoulders.Mark’s face softened instantly, all sternness forgotten the moment he saw his wife.Luana, however, kept a sharp eye on him. She wasn’t going to let him conveniently forget the matter!“Did you nap well?” Nadir asked sweetly.“Yes,” Briana said. “But if I wanted to sleep any longer, I wouldn’t have manage

“Is something wrong, Luana?”“Oh, hi, Mark! No, I was just telling YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW that Civil Defense notified us we can return to our apartment.”Nadir noticed the emphasis in the "mother-in-law" as if she wanted to remind her who she was. She frowned.“Are you sure the building won’t collapse with you inside it?” he asked.Nadir hid a smirk, secretly hoping it would collapse with Luana in it.“No, thank God it won’t,” Luana replied.“That bomb exploded in the ground-level garage,” Mark mused. “It must’ve damaged the foundations.”“For God’s sake, Mark,” Nadir snapped impatiently, “if Civil Defense said it’s safe, then it’s safe!”“What’s your problem, Nadir?”Realizing she’d spoken too sharply, she covered her mouth, eyes widening. Luana merely shot her a sideways glance, wearing a thin, mocking smile.******Vasconcelos Mansion, Living Room.Ensuring she was truly alone, Claudia closed the double doors with care. With her phone in hand, she scrolled to a particular contact, the

Claudia’s eyes flew wide as if she’d suddenly been cast into a sitcom she hadn’t prepared for.'Did that damned maid say something?' she wondered, then forced herself to speak. “And how do you know that wasn’t true?”“Sandro and I were at the dinner table. Neither you nor Nadir showed up.”For a split second, Claudia’s lips curled into a sly smile. Nadir hadn’t shown up last night either.'So the tramp didn’t come to dinner, meaning she spent the night with her lover too,' she mused with satisfaction.“When I got in, you were asleep,” she said.Gilson’s lips twitched in a crooked smile. He knew perfectly well she was lying—because he had also spent the night out, buried deep inside Celia until dawn.“That must’ve been it, then,” he said with cynical sweetness. “We need to pay closer attention to our marriage, my dear.”“Darling, that’s all I want for our lives,” she insisted.“Great. Then tonight, we’re having a special evening together.”It took every ounce of Claudia’s strength to f
