“Maximus, what are you doing sitting here? Why don’t you go in and see your wife?” Catherine said, snapping him out of the many memories that were circling in his mind.

Internally, Catherine still hoped her grandson and Mary would continue their marriage, so she clung to the hope that Maximus would begin to treat Mary with more love and respect. If that happened, she wouldn’t have any excuse to want a divorce. What Catherine didn’t foresee was that Mary was not going to change her mind. The fear she had felt seeing her future and that of her little daughter left no doubt that divorce was the best thing she could do.

Maximus remained seated in the hospital room’s waiting area. His grandmother, exasperated, gave him a piercing look and whispered to him:

“Maximus, if you keep this up, you’ll lose the girl who’s cared about you the most. Do you think your lover will look after you the way Mary has?”

“Grandma, I don’t think it’s relevant to discuss my relationship with Alexia right now.”

“Relationship? What relationship? All you do with that woman is fuck in your office. According to you, she’s a very capable woman, but she’s only earned her position with her body.”
