Olivia couldn’t help but wear a smile of relief. Her son is finally beginning to respond to this divorce in her favor. However, she doesn’t understand why there is a sudden change. It must be Muray, she thought to herself.
Is it possible that Madison has indeed fallen in love with someone else who’s not her son? She couldn’t help but think. Ethan happened to be the only man she knew about. He was her first
everything.
Who is Muray? She thought to herself. “I’d get to the bottom of this.
Olivia finally stepped into the room with her arm open wide, walking towards Madison on the bed. She was still in her patient gown.
“Madison, darling.” She gave her a warm hug. “What happened to you? Why aren’t you eating well?”
Madison quickly realized Mom was still in the hospital. She felt very uncomfortable since she was supposed to be the one visiting her. She couldn’t help but feel bad that Olivia had to stress herself
because of her.
“Oh, Mom, I’m sorry I brought this stress upon you; you should rest now; you didn’t have to come.” She had this worrisome and sorry look as she uttered those words.
Ethan watched them do their thing like he wasn’t in the room. He found his way to a side couch and
sat down.
“No, my child, it’s nothing to worry about or apologize about. I wish I’d been closer and been there
for you; anemia could have been avoided. I would have ensured you were well,” Olivia pointed out.
“Talking about eating well, I think you should have breakfast now; Evelyn helped make some delicious soup just as you like. She said so herself,” he said as he began to inbox the food he brought in. He served it and adjusted the bed into a sitting position.
Madison was almost surprised at his kind gestures, but she reminded herself that Olivia was there and he was likely to act appropriately, not to endanger her health.
A few minutes after she ate, she requested to know when she’d be discharged.
“Doctors said you’d be discharged today, and you’d need to go home and have some quality rest and, of course, eat pretty well.” Ethan was emphatic about her going home with him.
“I’d love to come with you. I mean, I should be discharged, too. Please make that happen.” Olivia requested to be discharged and to move in with them for a while.
Moving in will ensure the divorce doesn’t take place, at least not immediately. She has hoped this time with Ethan being on her side, even though not for the same reason, but she could use it to her advantage.
“Mom, that would be too much for you to do. It would help if you also rested and cared for yourself.

Besides, who will take care of your plants and all?” Madison disagrees

“I need to rest and be cared for, and who better should care for me than you two? I plan to ensure the same for you. Don’t worry about the plants and all; I can always get someone to do that while I’m away,” Olivia insisted.
Ethan couldn’t disagree since Olivia seemed to be insisting. “I’d like to see what I can do about your being discharged today. We’d need the doctors to check again and ensure you’re all fit to go.” He touched her on the shoulders and gave Madison a wide grin.
Ethan stopped by a fashion house on his way home from work. He had picked up a lovely red evening gown for the upcoming event he needed to attend, with beautiful jewelry to complement it. It’s not his usual routine, but he did it with joy.
A few minutes later, he walked into his living room with his mom and Madison, having a lovely time. They were having fruits and having some facials. There was a lot of laughter.
He wondered how they always had something to say about everything. He and his mom barely have conversations. It’s always been a few talks, and everyone gets back to business.
“Hey, dear, what’s in the bag for me?” Olivia gestured, bringing Ethan back from his thoughts.
“No, this is for… Madison,” he said, reaching out to her.
Madison couldn’t hold her surprise; what exactly was going on here?
“I’d want you to accompany me to an event, and I would love you to look stunning.” He continued
“Why? Did you run out of assistants?” She questioned
“You’ve never let me be seen with you in public. Why start now?”
“Well, you are my wife, and you should come with me to these events,” Ethan pointed out.
Dumfounded by those words, Madison could hear herself scream, “Wife?? We are about to be
divorced!!!!” Only she couldn’t say it out loud. She can’t talk about divorce in the presence of Olivia.
Olivia reached out for the bag as Madison handed it over. “This is beautiful, oh my,” she exclaimed as she brought the clothes and jewelry from the bags.
“They say every man needs a woman beside them. You, my dear, are the woman beside my dear Ethan, and I can’t wait to see you in this gorgeous, nice dress, dear.”
Madison reluctantly accepted because Olivia was asking. Olivia couldn’t help but be happy to see Ethan go all the way.
This is like a dream come true. In no time, she’d be expecting her grandchildren from these two. She couldn’t help but wear a smile of fulfillment, as she thought.
The night of the event. Madison stepped into the hall with Ethan.
Their appearance drew the crowd’s attention. Madison was a bit tense, but her beauty was so appealing. The red evening gown brought out her beautiful curves. Adorned with diamond jewelry,

she stanks of elegance.

Ethan was wearing a black suit that complimented his skin. They were undoubtedly the best–dressed couple if someone were to give them an award.
All the women whispered about her clothes in great shock, saying that she was the woman beside the renowned Ethan, every woman’s dream. Everyone was surprised to see Ethan with a fine–dressed lady who obviously couldn’t be his assistant.
Miguel, enchanted by Madison’s, reached out for an introduction. Everyone knows he loves women but could care less about the aftersex. They flock around him because of the enormous sum he gives
them.
“Hello, Ethan; who is this magnificent creature beside you?” Miguel approached with a glass and a
bottle of champagne; he had whisked a waiter with two other glasses on his tray.
He gestured if they cared to join him for a drink. He flirtatiously maintained a stare at Madison.
Ethan watched him stare for a minute and chuckled. He picked a glass, and Miguel poured him some champagne, handing a glass to Madison; he responded,” This magnificent creature happened to be my wife.”
Madison was almost choked with a cup of wine upon hearing this. She wasn’t expecting a public
announcement.
“We’ve been married for two years and will be having our wedding ceremony tonight, and you’re all
invited.”
The response set Miguel aback; he read the words between the lines to stay clear of this lady.
“Oh wow, I never knew you had married Ethan; she is beautiful.” He reached for Madison’s hand and
kissed her.
Soon, everyone in the room learned who the woman besides Ethan was. They were shocked to find out that he had been married for two years. They wondered who Maya was since they had been involved in a scandal on the news. Could it be that Maya was the side chick? Many questioned.
Maya returned to the hall. She was also dressed in a silk champagne–wine evening gown with
diamonds. She soon found her way to Ethan, Madison, and Miguel.
“Hello, Ethan.” She stretched forth her hand, ignoring both Madison and Miguel. She wasn’t even a
match in beauty for Madison. She was a child’s play beside her.
Ethan looked away from Madison and adjusted her arms, locking them in his.
Maya was dumbfounded and embarrassed when Miguel came in for her to save the day.
“A pleasant evening, beautiful.” Miguel took her hand and kissed it.
“I guess you need me after all,
“He whispered to her closely.
