Divorce

Alexander was in the middle of an affair with his mistress Alice. They had been meeting secretly in his office for weeks, but one day, his wife Eliza caught them red-handed. Alexander was caught off guard and didn't know what to do. He quickly tried to cover himself up and asked Alice to leave. As she left, he could see the hurt and disappointment in Eliza's eyes. Alexander knew he had to talk to her and somehow make things right, but he wasn't sure if that was even possible.

Alexander and Eliza are having a conversation.

Alexander says, "So you know..."

Eliza asks, "Why, Alexander? Was I not loving enough to you that you had to cheat?"

Alexander responds, "You were always busy with your tiny barbecue stand. You never really had time for me. So, I worked for my uncle's business to earn money so that you could just be a housewife. But no matter how much money I made and gave you, you still prioritized the barbecue stand over me."

Eliza defends herself saying, "I supported your dreams, Alexander. I helped you through thick and thin no matter how hard it was just to get you and your company through. So, how is it that I have no time for you?"

In a fit of rage, Alexander slams his hand on his desk and shouts, "That was not the time I needed! I needed your love, your intimacy! You never even once gave yourself to me!"

As a tear fell from elizas eyes she question If standing in front of her was really the man she married.

"I have been contemplating my decision for some time now and have come to the realization that not allowing you to touch my body was indeed the right choice. Despite my feelings of love and care towards you over the years, it became increasingly evident that you didn't value or appreciate my commitment to our relationship. Regrettably, I must admit that all the time and energy I invested in us was a waste. Moving forward, I am resolute in my decision to never allow you to touch me again."

Alexander's tone was one of disappointment and frustration as he confronted his spouse. He reminded her that he was her husband, emphasizing his right to her love and companionship. Despite his willingness to wait for her to come around, he expressed his disappointment that she had instead chosen to pour all her energy into the barbeque stand. His words were laced with a sense of sadness and hurt, as he struggled to understand why his wife had chosen to prioritize something else over their relationship.

Eliza, who had always felt insecure about Alexander's love for her, finally mustered up the courage to ask him if he still loved her. Her heart sank as she heard Alexander's cold and emotionless response. He said that he had lost all his love for her a long time ago, leaving Eliza feeling devastated and alone.

As she struggled to come to terms with the harsh reality of the situation, Eliza couldn't help but wonder why Alexander had waited so long to tell her the truth. It was then that she confronted him about his secret relationship with his secretary, which had been going on for months without her knowledge.

Alexander was caught off guard by Eliza's accusation, but he couldn't deny the truth. He had been seeing his secretary behind Eliza's back, and he knew that he had betrayed her in the worst possible way. As Eliza struggled to process this new information, she was left wondering how she could ever trust Alexander again.

The conversation between Alexander and Eliza was tense, and their emotions were running high. Alexander's words were a clear indication of his frustration and anger towards Eliza. He told her that he didn't owe her any explanations and that she didn't deserve any. Eliza, however, was not going to let him off the hook that easily. She asked him if he had no shame, hoping to get a sense of why he had behaved so badly towards her.

Alexander responded by telling Eliza that he had been unfaithful because of the neglect and lack of attention he had received from her. He went on to explain that she had shown no shame towards him, and therefore, he couldn't be expected to feel any shame in return. The silence that followed was deafening, and it was clear that the couple had a lot of work to do if they wanted to repair their relationship. The conversation ended abruptly, and both Alexander and Eliza were left with a lot to think about.

Eliza: is this what you really want? A divorce after 5 years together and 2 years of marriage...

Alexander: my... my decision is final and this is for the best. i haven't been happy for a long time and I'm done hiding my feelings. 

Eliza: of course you are. 

Alexander: enough. lets just get this over with eliza...

Eliza: Fine...

alexander: just tell me what you want as the divorce settlement..

eliza: I don't need anything from you... not your love not your wealth not your anything. But you cheated on me so all I need from you is your apology.

alexander: No.

eliza: what?

alexander: why the fuck should I apologies? have you apologized to me for neglecting me? No right so no I wont apologize. Ill give you $350,000 as alimony and that's that. 

eliza: I don't need your money... if you wont give me an apology then its fine. Goodbye alexander.

The conversation between Alexander and Eliza was fraught with tension and emotion. As the reality of their impending divorce set in, both parties struggled to come to terms with the end of their relationship.

Alexander, who had made the difficult decision to end their marriage, appeared resigned yet determined to move forward. He explained to Eliza that he had not been happy for a long time and that his decision was final. Eliza, who clearly still had feelings for Alexander, was visibly upset and hurt by his decision.

As the conversation continued, Eliza tried to understand why Alexander had been unfaithful to her. She asked him if she had not been loving enough, and expressed her disappointment and frustration that he had chosen to cheat on her with his mistress Alice. Alexander, in turn, defended himself by saying that Eliza had been neglectful and had not given him the attention and intimacy that he needed.

Eliza, feeling hurt and betrayed, expressed her desire for an apology from Alexander. She told him that she didn't need anything from him except for an apology, but Alexander refused to give her one. He argued that Eliza had neglected him and therefore didn't deserve an apology from him.

Ultimately, the conversation ended with Eliza deciding to say goodbye to Alexander. She didn't need his money or his love, but simply wanted an apology for his infidelity. Alexander, however, refused to give her one, leaving both parties at an impasse.

Overall, the conversation revealed the deep-seated issues that had been plaguing Alexander and Eliza's relationship for some time. It was clear that both parties had been neglectful and had not been meeting each other's needs. While it's unfortunate that the conversation ended without a resolution, it's important for both parties to take responsibility for their actions and work towards a constructive solution, even if that means going their separate ways.

Eliza emerged from the towering glass doors of the York Holdings headquarters, her thoughts in disarray. As she walked down the bustling street, she couldn't help but be consumed by a flood of questions that tugged at her heartstrings. Did her neglect towards her husband, Alexander York, push him towards infidelity? Was this all just a terrible nightmare? Unfortunately, it was her harsh reality that she had to accept. Alexander had already offered her $350,000 as a settlement for their impending divorce. Her heart ached as she contemplated the future. She had to return to her own city, where she would continue her humble existence as a barbeque vendor. The thought of starting over was overwhelming, but she knew she had to move on.

Alexander was feeling a deep sense of regret and sadness after his wife, Eliza, had left him. He couldn't help but question his decision to ask her for a divorce. He felt like he had made a terrible mistake without fully thinking things through. He realized that he still loved her very much and that it was too late now to take back what he had said.

He was filled with remorse and wished he had handled things differently. He knew that he had been too hasty in his decision-making and that he should have taken more time to reflect on his feelings before making such a major decision. He couldn't help but feel that he had let his emotions get the best of him and that he had acted impulsively.

As he thought about his relationship with his secretary, he couldn't help but feel like it was the primary cause of the end of his five-year marriage with Eliza. He felt like he had betrayed her trust and that he had let her down in a major way. The realization of his mistake weighed heavily on him, and he knew that he was now faced with the consequences of his actions.

Overall, Alexander was feeling lost and alone, unsure of what to do next. He knew that he had to take responsibility for his actions and that he had a lot of work to do to try to make things right with Eliza. However, he also knew that repairing the damage that had been done would be a long and difficult road.

Meanwhile, inside the Maxwell estate, the eldest son of Primus Maxwell has received news from one of his men inside York Holdings...

Ezra Louis Maxwell is the epitome of a successful and driven individual. As the eldest son of Primus Maxwell, he carries the responsibility of not only being the head of AzaniaBuilders, the primary construction company of the Maxwell clan, but also being the heir apparent to lead the family. Ezra's towering figure at 6'5, and athletic build, combined with his striking features, make him a captivating presence in any room he enters. His jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes add to his confident and commanding presence.

Ezra's attention to detail and precision are unparalleled, making him the most meticulous among his brothers. His passion for construction has helped him lead the family business to new heights. He is a visionary with a sharp mind, ensuring that every project the company undertakes is successful and profitable.

Primus Maxwell, as the patriarch of the Maxwell clan, has entrusted Ezra with a crucial task. He has assigned Ezra to take care of Alexander York, a member of the rival York clan. Primus has deemed Alexander's actions as critical to the survival of the York clan, and any wrong move from him could lead to the downfall of the entire family.

Ezra's role is to keep a watchful eye on Alexander and ensure that he does not make any mistakes that could jeopardize the York clan. The task requires not only Ezra's expertise in construction but also his responsible and capable nature. His father trusts him to handle this task with the utmost care and discretion, and Ezra has taken it upon himself to ensure that he lives up to his father's expectations.

One of Ezra's trusted men recently provided him with a detailed account of a scandalous incident involving Alexander York. According to the report, Mr. York was caught by his wife, Eliza, engaging in inappropriate behavior in his office. The report included information on the exact nature of the behavior, the time and location of the incident, and the potential consequences of the situation. Additionally, the report provided insights into the reaction of Mr. York's colleagues and acquaintances to the news, as well as the possible impact of the incident on his personal and professional reputation.Ezra was overcome by a fit of laughter as he observed Alexander York's complete inability to carry out his duties. The level of incompetence displayed by this man from the lowly York clan was nothing short of astounding. Ezra found it fascinating that someone with such little experience could engage in such brazen and scandalous acts, especially when his company was in dire financial straits. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Ezra could not help but find the whole situation quite amusing.As soon as Ezra Maxwell got wind of the incident, he rushed to inform his father Primus Maxwell about it. The two of them knew that they had to be strategic and act fast in order to deal with "YorkHoldings" effectively. With their minds racing, they began brainstorming and devising a plan for their next move.

In an astonishingly brief period, a series of unforeseen events unfolded, leading to a power play where the pawns were left in the dark about the mastermind behind the scheme. Alexander York, the head of York Holdings, was struggling to come to terms with his thoughts and emotions, while his wife, Eliza York, was focusing on herself, attempting to heal the wounds caused by her husband's infidelity. Meanwhile, the Maxwell clan, York's arch-rivals, was meticulously devising strategies to bring their nemesis's empire to the ground. The stakes were high, and both sides were playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with the fate of York Holdings hanging in the balance. 

Eliza's mind was in turmoil as she made her way back home, her thoughts muddled with confusion and pain. Her heart felt like it had been ripped apart, shattered into a million pieces that would never be whole again. 

Tears streamed down her face as she entered the living room, her eyes immediately drawn to the wedding picture on the mantelpiece. The photo was a snapshot of the happiest day of her life, the day she had married Alexander, the love of her life. But now, as she gazed at it, all she could think about was his infidelity, the betrayal that had shattered her world.

As she stood there, lost in thought, memories of their relationship flooded her mind. She remembered the moments when they had laughed, cried and loved each other unconditionally. The good times they had shared seemed like a distant dream, a reality far from her reach.

But as her phone rang, she was jolted back to reality. Her heart racing, she picked up the phone and tried to compose herself, wiping away her tears and putting on a brave face. It was time to face the truth and move forward, even if it meant doing it alone.

Eliza's phone rings, interrupting her quiet evening at home. She picks up the phone and answers with a polite "Hello, who is this?".

On the other end of the line, there is a pause before a voice responds, "Hello, it's me... your little sister."

Eliza is taken aback by the sound of her sister's voice. It has been a while since they last spoke, and her sister rarely calls her on the phone.

"Hi there! It's so good to hear from you," Eliza says with a smile in her voice, "How are you doing?".
