Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“Why return so late?”
“I was out shopping with Grace, and we ended up indulging in hot pot, hence the
delay.”
She had optimistically assumed that Marcus would be working into the late
hours, allowing her to slip in.
However, Marcus sported an unwavering countenance, with disappointment
evident in his eyes. The office grapevine had painted Millie and Bruce with the
same brush of suspicion. She was even in the mood to venture out to revel in her
own amusement.
As her spouse, why hadn't she explained the circumstances to him?
In the depths of his desolation, Marcus couldn't help but question if her devotion
to him was somehow lacking.
When Millie illuminated the room, its entirety was bathed in the glow, as if
chasing away shadows of doubt.
“Darling, have you dined?”
Millie detected the palpable tension and pondered if Marcus’ pique still lingered,
fueled by the images that had linked her to Bruce.
Marcus maintained a silence that spoke volumes.
“Love, why the silence? Is it because of the pictures? Please know that it's not
what it seems. I was ensnared in a setup. Bruce and I were engaged in an
innocuous chat; the snapshots were contrived with ill intent.”
“Didn't I told you to keep a distance from other men?” With an arched brow,
Marcus interrogated with a glacial edge.
Millie offered her account.
“But isn’t he a member of our family? You two have always been on amicable
terms.”
At the mere mention of Bruce, Marcus’ visage darkened instantly. They would go
on separate ways since then.
“Moving forward, ensure you keep a respectable distance from him.” Marcus’
tone carried the weight of command.
He surmised that Millie was susceptible to Bruce's influence, a vulnerability he
couldn't afford to overlook.
