Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

"Ah..."

Bertram's eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

His affair with Cecil's mother was a tragedy from the start, and its conclusion was far from perfect.

Cecil's mother died young, her life a tapestry of scandal and illness.

And now Cecil, tangled in the web of law, sentenced for his myriad crimes, his future beyond the prison bars was nothing but a distant dream.

Such tragedy...

Bertram sighed, turning to his assistant beside him,

"You know the story between Cecil's mother and me. I want a statement released under my name, detailing our relationship truthfully and acknowledging Cecil as my own son!"

"No need to hide or sugarcoat anything about me, just tell it as it is!"

"As a father, regardless of the circumstances, I have failed to fulfill my duties from day one, and for that, I owe Cecil an apology!"

"However, as a citizen, the actions Cecil took are unforgivable, and I will not use my influence to clear his name!"

The assistant looked solemn. For a public figure, scandals were a nightmare.
