Daisy believed Albert wanted a divorce to be with Jessie. She was unaware his disgust for her ran deeper. He pushed her aside, ready to leave.
But Daisy relented. Wrapping her arms around Albert from behind, she croaked, Albert, | just love you. | cant bear seeing you look at her.
Albert berated Daisy, accusing her of being crazy.
He shoved her aside and left the suite, leaving her seething with rage.

Daisys face twisted in anger. Despite being pregnant and due in a few months, she reached for a cigarette from her purse and lt it with trembling hands.
She had to calm down or drown in sorrow.
She loathed Albert at that moment.
On their wedding night, Melissa felt weary. After a shower in the hotel, she slouched on the sofa, waiting for Marcus. He was seeing off the guests and hadnt returned.
Melissa dozed off until a faint sound at the door stirred her.
Knowing it was Marcus, she kept her eyes shut. Leaning against the soft sofa, her damp hair cascaded over her pillow, adding to her allure in her loosely tied bathrobe.
As Marcus entered, he closed the door slowly.
He shrugged off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his shirt slightly, and glanced at his wife. Then he smiled.

His hand gently caressed her fuller buttocks due to pregnancy.
Though a mundane gesture between spouses, it felt intimate at the moment.
Melissa remained lethargic. Her jet-black hair fanned out over the pillow, accentuating her delicate features.
Marcus leaned in for a kis. His lips lingered and he whispered, Without the makeup, you look just as you did years ago. Its hard to believe youre a mom of two.
Melissa wrapped her arms around his neck, addressing his earlier concern.
Since being pregnant, Ive been feeling hot and sweating alot.
With a mischievous glint, Marcus grinned. Let me check.
Melissa knew him too well. His checking usually led to mischief. She considered stopping him but it was their wedding night. Whatever he did seemed alright.
