The following morning, Matthew woke up with a pouring headache. He had spent the entire night trying to figure out how to end Alexia’s contract without sparking a full–blown disaster. He knew very well that once he informed her, Alexia would lose control, and he dreaded being the one to deliver the news, given that he was technically her superior.

Meanwhile, Maximus also woke with a throbbing head the result of his excessive drinking the night before. He rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to alleylate the pain in his temples. After a long shower, he dressed in an impeccable black suit, looking as imposing as ever. He glanced at his phone, tempted to call his grandmother’s house to check on Mary, but he still couldn’t find the right words. Instead, he pocketed his phone, choosing to avoid thinking about it for the moment.

Emma prepared breakfast, but Maximus only grabbed cup of coffee. She had assumed that after hearing the full story of what had transpired at the wedding, he would immediately go to fetch Mary. But instead, he appeared to be hesitating, as if Alexia still had a hold on his heart, even after learning the truth of how she had treated Mary from the very beginning.

Maximus arrived at the Palmer building, his second home, and took the private elevator that led directly to his office. As the doors were about to close, a slender hand slipped between them, stopping the elevator. It was Alexia, who stepped inside confidently Maximus hadn’t expected to see her so early, and irritation flashed across his face at her casual use of the private elevator–something reserved for the Palmer family and, occasionally, Matthew. But as his well–known girlfriend in the company, no one dared question her access.

Up until yesterday, Maximus had been blind to Alexia’s behavior. In the company, she wielded considerable influence, thanks to everyone assuming she was his long–term partner. No one, apart from Matthew, knew about his marriage to Mary or the fact that she was never part of the company’s affairs. The memory of how he had treated Mary during her first and only visit to the office filled him with guilt. ‘How much have I made you suffer, Mary?‘ he thought silently.

“Maximus! I didn’t think you’d come in today. I figured you’d be busy playing nurse to your ‘sickly wife,” “Alexia said sarcastically.

“She’s at my grandma’s house. They’ll take care of her better there. I have some business to handle here, but I’ll join her as soon as it’s done,” Maximus replied calmly.

“Maximus, how can you say that to me? Do you even care how much it hurts when you talk about being with her?” Alexia snapped, her eyes flashing with anger.

“I think we need to talk. Be in my office in ten minutes.” Maximus said, unable to hold back any longer.
