Marriage and Annulment

On the contrary. When the annulment was granted, Zander felt relieved. He acknowledged that he had made the correct choice. Over the years, he’s come to realize that they’re not really meant for each other. When his mother and Duke learned, they stopped communicating with him. He did, however, remind them that he had made the right choice. He knew his friendship with Duke was over when he broke up with Zaneska.

He’s leaving right now to go to Mitch’s house in town. That’s where he was a few days ago. He hasn’t heard a word from his mother in a long time. He could no longer feel it, despite the fact that he was his mother. However, he simply does not pay attention.

Zaneska was currently in the mansion.  She decided not to go into the office. After a few years, she knew she couldn’t move. The front door swung open. Aunt Carol then walked in.

Although she smiled at her, she could see the sadness in Aunt Carol eyes.  She hugged and kissed her.

“I’m sorry for not being there for you during these difficult times; how are you now? I’m sure you’ll get through it; this is just a part of life. You’re beautiful; you can get anything you want. You should at least buy a man for fun,” Aunt Carol said.

She burst out laughing.

“Are you serious, Aunt? I’m going to buy a man just for fun?” Zaneska inquired.

Aunt Carol responded, “I’m just joking to make you feel better.”

“Thank you for coming to see me, Aunt.”

Aunt Carol said, “Your welcome, I won’t be long, Zaneska, I have a lot of customers there.”

Zaneska entered the kitchen a minute after Aunt Carol had left. They already have helpers in the mansion, so the girls won’t be overworked. She returned to the living room, but she considered leaving the mansion. As Zander mother entered the mansion, the eyes of the two of them met. 

She hugged her and said, “Good morning, Zaneska.”

“Good morning,” she says.

Zaneska was at a loss for what to call her. They don’t have a relationship with her son anymore.

“How are you doing? I’m sorry. I didn’t do anything for you. You’re a nice woman. Even if you and my child are separated, you will always be my daughter,” she says.

“Thank you,” she says. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Nothing bad happened to me. I hope you don’t lose your motherhood to Zander. Love whoever he chooses to love.”

“I can’t help myself; he doesn’t think clearly, and you know how their friendship with Duke ended a long time ago.”

Zaneska was taken aback by the news.

“But why?”

“I don’t know. I just found out.” mother replied.

Zander knocked on the door of Mitch’s house. It opened and he popped out.

“Zander, what are you doing here?” Mitch asked him.

“I was just visiting you. I had nothing to do at home. I was leaving work.” he replied.

“Is that so? How are you?” it asks him and lets him inside.

“It’s okay, Zaneska and I have separated. Our annulment was granted after a year so we are both free in marriage.” Zander replied.

“But why?” Mitch wonder.

Zander replied, “We both decided to separate.”

“Can we please stop talking about this? It’s over. Where are we going to eat now? It’s my treat. Let’s go.”

“Wait,” Mitch said, “I’ll get dressed first.”

They were in town in a matter of minutes. It was already mid-afternoon, so they decided to eat inside the diner.

It’s the 29th of March.

Lucy’s engagement party will be a major event in her beloved Calvin’s life. So they’re in the event hall at the hotel she owns right now. She is so preoccupied with her life that she is oblivious to the fact that she is neglecting all of her businesses. Everyone is welcome. She does not have to close her heart to the people who have been close to her in the past in order to move on. It’s the same as it was before. Duke and Amara have brought their baby with them. And everyone is in the hotel.

Calvin came up behind her and approached her.

“Sister, you had some important visitors; I’m not doing this to hurt you, but to bring closure,” Calvin explained.

Zander was overcome by conflicting emotions. After a year, he will see everyone close to him again. He also wanted to re-establish contact with his mother, so he agreed to attend Calvin’s engagement party. He had no idea what Zaneska’s friends and family were thinking. He could be kicked and hit. Mitch was also deafeningly quiet next to him.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mitch asked, “Is it okay for us to come here, Zander?”

“I went because I didn’t want my mother to be angry with me,” Zander explained, “but if awkward for you, so we won’t continue.”

“No, we’re already here, so there’ll be no delay; I’ll deal with their reaction,” Mitch explained.

As they approached the entrance, everyone’s eyes widened. Zaneska recognized who had arrived and stood up to assure everyone that everything was fine. They  need to move on because it’s been a long time coming. Her ex-husband and an ex-bestfriend are among those who have paid her a visit. It is not in his best interests for him to embarrass them. Because of their pasts alone. So she walked up to the door and smiled.

“Thank you for coming,” Zaneska said. “Come inside. They’re all here.”

Zander refused to smile, but Mitch was forced to. He delivered them to Amara and Duke’s table. Randolf and Clara, too.

Even though Zaneska graciously accepted them, Zander is aware that he is not welcome in this place. Duke isn’t even smiling at him. Calvin and Randolf, on the other hand, approached him.

The two said to him, “Welcome, thank you for coming.”

And the women only gave him a nod, not a smile. Mitch and I took a seat.

“How are you doing, Mitch? It’s been a year since we met. You gain weight,” Amara said with a smile.

Mitch said, “Yeah, your son is growing so fast.”

Duke’s joke made everyone at the table laugh, “Yes, we are also planning to have a second child.”

Even Zaneska appears to have returned to her former self. It didn’t appear that the pains had even made their way through her system.

“What’s up, Zander? How are you doing?” Amara asked.

“I’m all right.”

“Well done,” Amara said. “Did the two of you get back together? You can’t really tell.”

He replied, “Yes,” which caused Mitch to frown, but he grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

“Wonderful, everything will fall into place, and it will appear as if nothing happened, right, Zaneska?”

“Yeah right. By the way, Mitch, how’s your father’s health? Is he okay? Send my regards. And this is the best way for me to apologize for my past mistakes. This is my genuine words to you and Zander. So that everyone knows they shouldn’t be mad at you two anymore. Why it turns out like this. I’m sorry for the mistakes,” Zaneska said.

“It’s fine; thank you for your assistance as well.”

Zander doesn’t say anything. He didn’t know what to say, and he was embarrassed by what had occurred. He questioned why he had come here in the first place.

“Everyone, this is the day that the two people want and need because they fell in love with each other, and this is the way for them to end up in something that everyone dreams of: marriage,” said the emcee. “Now I call Miss Zaneska Vergara to give a speech to two people close to her life.”

Zander overheard Zaneska say goodbye and said, “Excuse us.”

“Why do I have to speak? Do I understand everything?” Zaneska wondered.

Everyone was giggling.

“That’s on purpose, Miss,” Lucianna screamed. “They want you in a hot seat because they know you’ve been there before. You’ve been hurt. Because there’s no certainty in the world.”

Everyone was giggling.

“Lucianna, are you drunk?” Zaneska asked.

Lucianna stopped talking.

“All right, I’m not allergic to heartbreak. I’m happy to see my loved ones get married and start their own family. Life is wonderful. Hurts are just a part of living. But I’m not saying I want them to go through what I went through. All I want is for them to be happy. That’s all. I save my tears for the wedding day. Cheers for two people in love!” Zaneska exclaimed.

The audience erupted in applause. Zaneska sat down at the table again.

Zander overheard Duke say, “So, Zaneska, will you be willing to meet the man I’m telling you about?”

Randolf asked, “Is there?”

“Yes, he’s interested in Zaneska, and if he wants, I can set up a dinner date for them,” Duke said.

“Hey, before you set a date, introduce him to me,” Zaneska said.

“Are you in agreement?”

“Of course,” Zaneska replied, “are you the only one who wants to be happy?”

“Of course. We want you to be happy. If you don’t want to be happy, just buy a man,” Duke said.

“Stupid, you’re really tarnishing my image. What other people think if they hear is that my behavior is really bad. I’ve had a lot of hang ups in my life, but I’m not a bad person,” Zaneska said.
