Grim reaper smile

Both of them sat in his car, Morgana didn't know why she listened to him, she didn't know what she was doing here but here she was sitting next to the man who gave her a divorce contract as their anniversary gift. The mere thought of it brought tears to her eyes, and Morgana began sobbing.

"M I know I hurt you, I know I'm a fool, I know that I jumped to a conclusion without even giving it a second thought and I'm sorry, I'm deeply sorry please forgive me." He held her hands and brought them up to his lips.

"Sorry doesn't cut it, Maxwell, sorry doesn't heal the wounds. You know I had much planned for that night, I had a big anniversary gift for you but you just kicked me out because someone said I fabricated the one-night stand we had, when I was also drunk." She pulled her hands from his hold.

"I know sorry wouldn't cut it but please, let me apologize for being stupid. I was blinded by my anger that night and this caused me to miss everything. I wasn't there when you had your morning sickness, I wasn't there when you had ridiculous cravings and it's all my fault."

"The very next day after you left I told one of the guards to keep an eye on you, to make sure you were safe. I felt guilty for jumping to conclusions and I was scared you'd get hurt. I couldn't bring myself to look at you after what I did so I told him to be on the lookout, I told him to protect you but you ran away to God knows where."

"Wait, he was there to take care of me? I left because I thought you wanted to hurt me, I thought you wanted to kill me because of the piece of evidence you had. I thought you were going to make me pay for lying to you which I didn't by the way."

"Is that why you left? Because you thought I was going to kill you? M you've been with me for a year and you don't know what I can and can't do?"

"You've been with me for a year yet you still accused me of planning everything that happened that night. And yes Maxwell, I've been with you for a year and I know that you hate being lied to, I've seen you beat a man up because he lied what more of me? You believe I've been lying to you for one year." She lowered her head.

"No matter what I can never hurt you M, give me a second chance and I promise not to blow it." He held her cheeks and turned her face to face his, "I promise to be the best husband you've ever had."

"I'm sorry Max, sorry doesn't cut it, it's going to take you more than just sorry for me to accept you back into my life."

"Okay, I get it that sorry doesn't cut it. Let me woo you. Our first marriage was done through a one-night stand, let's change the past, let's correct it. Let me do it right by wooing you first." Both chuckled at the idea.

"Let's see what you got Mr. Maxwell Mayor, I'll be waiting to see how far you'll go to win me back." She smiled a genuine smile. Although she was hurt by what Maxwell did, she couldn't stay angry at him forever, she has missed him so damn much and it would be unfair to her baby if she were to grow up without a father because of a mistake.

Maxwell took her to her place, she decided to go back to her parents' house, she had missed the place that felt like home to her, it held a lot of memories. Maxwell helped her move back there.

At M&M company, the employees were looking at their boss's smile while one of their colleagues was doing a presentation. The presentation wasn't what made them tense but the smile on his face, it felt like the last smile a grim reaper gives you before taking your soul to the afterlife.

"I love this presentation but there are a few areas that need to be fixed, I'll send the team head what I think needs to be changed." He still had the smile on his face.

"Okay boss," they answered in unison even those who didn't present. He would scold them if he found something unpleasant in the presentation but today he didn't yell, he was smiling at them.

"This was a great meeting, keep up the good work tech team." He gave them two thumbs up and left them there dumbstruck.

"Was I the only one who saw him smiling? Please tell me I wasn't hallucinating.." a girl said.

"You weren't, he was smiling. I was tensed I could even feel sweat on my back even though the room has an Aircon." Another girl replied.

"Do you guys think Mrs Mayor is back? I remember before they got married, he was very strict but after their wedding, he became so soft and nice after she left he went back to his old self, he was even worse but here he is being all nice again." A guy said.

"If she is here, I pray she doesn't leave him again. Although he looks scary with a smile I prefer him with a smile than a frown. I used to dread coming to work, I mean I feel like every time I come here my lifespan shortens."

"You are exaggerating Emily." A queer dude said, the girl called Emily rolled her eyes.

"I'm not exaggerating, you know it's the truth. He works us to the bones."

"I think we should go back to work because he is smiling now, it doesn't mean he likes us slacking around."

They rushed out of the conference room to their posts. The news about his new aura spread out in the company before the sun could hit bottom and make way for the moon to shine.

Maxwell sat in his office, he had lots of work to finish and time wasn't on his side, he had a dinner date with Morgana but if he didn't finish his work fast, there wouldn't be any date.
