After his visit to Alexia and finally bidding farewell to the unrequited love of his youth, Maximus made the call to the boarding school where his children were staying.

“Mr. Palmer, I must say I’m surprised by your decision. Has something happened to prompt this?”

“Mrs. Caville, I’ve made my decision. Today, my driver will pick up my children and their belongings. It may seem abrupt, but this is final.”

“I understand. I’ll inform them of the news immediately.”

“Thank you.”

Maximus would have preferred to see his children in person, but he had an appointment with the media director to announce Alexia Levett’s passing. The news couldn’t be delayed any longer. Her ashes were already in her parents‘ possession, but their children hadn’t been informed yet.

“Mr. Palmer, how would you like us to handle this announcement? Would you prefer a particular headline? My deepest condolences, by the way. Everyone knows how much you loved your wife. We share in your grief…”

“Mr. Tony, just follow my instructions. That will suffice,” Maximus replied coldly.

“Of course, sir,” the man answered, slightly flustered.

Within hours, the news of Alexia Levett de Palmer’s death spread like wildfire across Valentia. The media buzzed with headlines of her tragic car accident, describing the untimely end of such a beautiful woman. Many who sought Maximus’s favor or approval published nostalgic tributes, assuming he must be devastated by the loss.
