My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0070

The morning after the wedding, Mary woke up and struggled to remove her wedding dress. The intricate beading and pearls, meant to symbolize well–wishes, made it nearly impossible to take off by herself. In frustration, she resorted to scissors, cutting parts of the fabric. Afterward, she took a shower to wash off her ruined makeup. Freshly cleaned, she dressed in casual clothes, not expecting Maximus to still be at home.

She went in search of a vase to place her bridal bouquet in water. But as she entered the living room, she was startled to see Maximus stepping out of his room, Iressed in an elegant black suit. He gave her a cold, appraising look before speaking.

“I assume breakfast is ready?” Maximus said, his tone a mix of sarcasm and authority.

“Well… Emma should… she should have prepared it,” Mary stammered, caught off guard by his question.

‘Emma’s on vacation,” he snapped. “You should have made my breakfast. Or what? Are you planning to just be my wife in name only, enjoying the money and the title?”

“If this is what you call a marriage, I don’t want it. I don’t know what I’ve done to make you treat me like this. If you regret what we’ve done, maybe I should just leave,” Mary said as she brushed past him.

Maximus couldn’t tolerate the perceived insult. He grabbed her by the shoulder, spun her around, and shoved her against the wall, pointing a finger in her face.

“Don’t you EVER speak to me like that again, woman. My patience is thin, and you don’t want to see me truly angry.
