Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda gave a glance at her phone, "It's almost seven o'clock, I gotta get up pronto. I have a makeup appointment with Tiffany at seven." Stefan watched her scurry out of bed and his embrace, then he clung to the pillow she once slept on, like a man feeling the sting of loss.

When Lucinda finished changing and cleaning up, she saw him still on the bed hugging the pillow. She went over, chuckling as she took the pillow from him and said lightly, "Come on, get up. Tiffany will be here soon. Never mind, keep hugging the pillow. I'll go to the guest room with Tiffany."

She stuffed the pillow back into his arms and turned to leave.

"Sweetie." A pitiful voice came from behind. Lucinda quickly turned and said, "Stefan, don't call me with that tone. It makes me uncomfortable."

"Sweetie, you're ignoring me. You're all about work now, and you probably can't even remember your husband's name."

Lucinda said, "My husband's name is Stefan. You go to work too, but have I ever acted like you?"

"Come here, give me a kiss, and I won't feel so lost."

In the end, Lucinda turned back. She gave him two kisses, and then left.

Anyone who saw Stefan like this might be shocked.

Just out of the room, she saw Tiffany coming up the stairs.

"Tiffany, morning."

Tiffany yawned and then chuckled, "Lucy, morning."

After saying that, she yawned again.

"Stefan is still in the room. Let's go to the guest room."

Lucinda led Tiffany into the guest room. Seeing Tiffany constantly yawning, she felt sorry and said, "Tiffany, I feel bad for you. You have to get up so early to do my makeup."

"It's part of my job, no big deal. I didn't sleep well, not because of getting up early, but because Liam was pestering me all night, asking what was wrong with him. It pissed me off. I kicked him off the bed and locked the door to get some sleep."

Lucinda laughed, "Liam just isn't sensitive enough. He can't see where the problem lies. He even went to his brother a few times, but even Stefan doesn't know what's wrong."
