Arianne found herself parting ways with Joseph, unable to endure his consistent neglect. She endeavored to salvage what little remained of her self-worth, even if she believed there was nothing left for her. Her affection for him was profound.

But what if the day arrived when she desperately needed Joseph's assistance? Would he extend a helping hand despite her abandonment?

Could they rekindle what was lost, especially now that Arianne has found solace in the company of Chito Bronson, the owner of a renowned hospital?

Divorcing the Genius

"How is she?" I inquired of the nurse emerging from Arianne's room. Kevin's call prompted my immediate arrival. 


"She's stable now, sir. We're preparing her for surgery," she informed me before departing. Surgery? Why? I assumed Joseph was overseeing her care. Why the sudden need for an operation? 


Approaching Arianne's bedside, I found her sleeping peacefully. Typical of her to rest so serenely. How can she be so at ease? But then again, this is Arianne we're talking about. 


"J-Joseph.... Joseph...." she murmured weakly in her slumber. Even now, she's preoccupied with Joseph. We were always entangled in such matters back in New York. I clasped her hand. 


Arianne, what goes on in your mind? I thought you were brave. Where's that courage now? I wanted to vocalize my thoughts, but feared she might hear. I've been remiss in my duties toward her, I confess. My own issues consumed me, leaving her neglected.
