Chapter 57 went for a vacation

Maxwell's face tightened and heat flushed through his body, causing his muscles to quiver. He rose off the bed and knelt in front of Melissa, taking her hands into his. "Melissa," Maxwell called out softly, trying to hold back his anger. But Melissa looked away, her eyes shining with tears.

"Melissa, I don't love Tina any more. We separated 5 years ago and spent another 5 years without seeing each other, which makes it 10 years. I have fallen in love with you and I want to have you in my life, not Tina," Maxwell said. "I know that Tina will try her tricks to get me back, but I will do everything in my power to stop her. Please don't doubt me because of her presence.

Melissa bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears. She could feel her insides quivering with anxiety. She knew that Tina would do anything in her power to get Maxwell back, and she didn't want to find herself caught in the middle.
