Marriage and Annulment

“Zander, come in; it’s pouring hard,” Zaneska called to him.

So he went back inside. Zaneska had already taken a seat on a wooden bench.

“Why did you come here? Didn’t you think there might be wild animals here? You scared the hell out of me, and the strength of the rain. You’re ruining yourself,” he said.

“I’m sorry,” Zaneska said, “I was just looking for a signal.”

She exhaled a sigh.

“They know you’re here, and I’m sure everything you left there is fine, but you really need to in danger yourself,” he told her.

Zaneska simply nodded.

“We’ll be back there before nightfall,” Zander predicted.

Zaneska rose to her feet. And she was the one who came out first, so he had to follow. As well as the weeds’ slickness. They both bowed beneath the same awning. Zander drew Zaneska closer to his body to keep her from getting wetter. He was carrying a small umbrella.

“Next time, stay where you are; it’s not where you’re going,” Zander advised.

Zaneska was a happy girl. This is the first time she has approached a man in this manner. And there’s something about the scent. She considered sniffing his neck, but she knew he’d notice. He was even more irritated now that she had unexpectedly gone to that house. It is not her fault that she became lost. They arrived at the captain’s house half an hour later.

“Did your clothes get wet, Zander?” she asked.

“It’s only my pants, but it’s fine,” Zander responded.

“Come with me to the car first; I’ll just take my clothes, which I brought,” Zaneska said.

Zander escorted her to the house’s balcony before returning to the car. When he walked in, he noticed Randolf with a woman.

“Where are you from, Miss, and why is your hair wet?” Randolf inquired.

“I was looking for a signal, so I got lost and wet in the rain; where are the others? Isn’t it over yet?” she wondered.

“They’re all still eating dinner in the barangay hall, and it’s raining, so I brought you your food as well,” Randolf explained.

“I appreciate it.”

“Her name is Clara.”

Zaneska gave the woman a friendly smile. And the woman smiled, but she thought it was awkward.

“Don’t be shy, Randolf, how many clothes did you bring?” Zaneska asked.

“Five pieces, Miss.”

“Give it to Zander; he got wet in the rain while looking for me.”

“Sure.”

Then Zander came in and Randolf handed him a paper bag.

“Thank you; get dressed as well; Randolf has extra clothes; you’re wet as well, and we’ll be able to stay here for a while,” Zaneska said.

Zander is feeling chilly. H e believes his clothes are wet as well. It’s a good thing Randolf  had an extra dressed. Why hadn’t he thought of bringing a dress? When Zaneska came out, she went in to changed  a clothes as well. The rain became even heavier; perhaps there was a storm. The rain stopped around five o’clock in the afternoon. Because the others with them already had husbands and children, they decided to return home. In addition, the children’s meals and modules have been done giving. They’ve all left the house.

“We’re going to say our goodbyes, captain and mother; we can’t stay long because we have work tomorrow,” Zaneska explained.

“Yes, thank you very much for your assistance,” the barangay captain said to Zaneska.

Zander wondered what Zaneska had done to help them, but he didn’t ask.

After two years,

A lot has happened. Amara and Duke are already married. Randolf, on the other hand, has already found true love in the person of Clara. Calvin, on the other hand, became Lucy’s boyfriend. In addition, Arthur and Aunt Carol married. They’ve all had a good life over the years. Zander had a lot to learn. His feelings for Mitch have faded in recent years. He can’t even completely forget her because she has become a part of his life. And his work remains the same. Finding the right person for him was a significant change in his life.

Zaneska has been his light over the years, and in the days and months that he has spent with her, he can confidently state that she is the woman for him.

Maybe he and Mitch would split up just so he could go be with Zaneska because of the opportunity. To say he married his ex- girlfriend’s bestfriend is an understatement. Yes, he proposed to Zaneska a year ago, and they married the following year. He is content with his life as it is. They’re fine with how the two of them are set up their schedules because of their works.

Zaneska is in the city for work, and he is in the province as well. On weekends, he returns to the mansion. They haven’t yet engaged in a fight. She was the kind of wife who was always understanding and never nags her husband. He is now in front of his students in the classroom. Everything returned to normal after the students returned to school, and the school was no longer silent. The bell rang, signaling the start of recess.

He tells them, “OK Class, it’s recess time. You’ll write later.”

The students have already exited the building. As a result, he was left alone in the classroom. He’ll give Zaneska a call to say hello. When Zaneska’s phone rang and she didn’t answer, Zander frowned. He called her numerous times before she finally answered.

On the other line, Zaneska said, “Sweetheart, I’m at the board meeting. It’ll end later. I’ll call you back later. I love you.”

He gave a warm smile.

“I’m sorry; I love you as well.”

Zaneska put the phone down. He could only hear Zaneska’s voice when they were both busy with work like this, and he was content. Duke walked in.

“You don’t have any snacks?” Duke asked.

“Are you still full, Duke?” Zander asked.

“Finished.”

“How are you doing, Duke? Have your in-laws turned into villains now that you’re their daugther’s husband?” Zander asked.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“No, what they want has already happened,” Duke replied, “and even if they do, there is nothing they can do.”

“Yes.”

“How about you, Zander? You appear to be in good mood.”

“Yes, I’m content with my life now, and thank you for allowing me to love your cousin,” Zander said.

“Of course, I see Zaneska is happy that you’re the one she married, so I’m fine,” Duke said.

“I’m happy for mom as well, because someone is making her and Melissa happy.”

Duke smiled and nodded.

Zaneska decided to leave the meeting room after her meeting with the board members ended. She’ll dial her husband’s number right now. She misses him because they only see each other on weekends. She used to take him to the province on occasion. Because they cared about each other and understood the nature of their work, there was no fight between them.

It’s fine that she now has a man in her life who will love and care for her until she dies. Except for Lazzy, who lives with Lucas, the girls are still in the mansion.

He walked into the office. Also, take a seat in the swivel chair. He dialed Zander’s number. He immediately returned her call.

“Wow, how easy it is for you to respond; it’s as if you’re always looking at your phone; don’t you have a class?” Zaneska asked.

His response was, “It’s recess time now, so all my students are still in the canteen.”

“Is that correct? When are you coming home? I’d like to smell your perfume,” Zaneska said.

On the other end of the line, Zander laughs.

“Are you expecting a child?” Zander asked.

“Not yet,” Zaneska joked, “but I hope we can have children; maybe it will come to the point of divorcing me first because you don’t love me anymore and there’s a child left for me.”

“Shut up! Don’t make a joke about it. It’s not funny. No matter what happens, I’m not going to leave you. Even if we have a serious problem, you’ll still be the one I love,” Zander said passionately.

“I totally love you to the moon and back.”

“Be careful there; just always wait for me; it’s Tuesday, and we’ll meet in a few days,” Zander advised.

“That’s fine.”

Zaneska took her bag and left the office after she hung up the phone. She came across Randolf go out as well.

“How’s your love life going, Randolf?” she asked.

“I’m delighted to be with Clara, Miss,” He replied.

“I’m glad to hear that,” Zaneska said. “When do you plan to marry her?”

“I actually proposed to her, and she accepted.”

“That’s correct? That’s good.”

Zaneska went up into her car and drove to the mansion. Because the mansion is now quiet, she was alone at  because the others were still in the office working long hours. Uncle Conrad returned to France, bringing Laica with him. She is also unaware of the two of them’s current status, but Zaneska is relieved that Uncle Conrad will no longer get drunk because Laica isn’t paying attention to him.

She entered her room. And she was perplexed as to why her room was so dark, so she instructed the girls not to turn off the light inside. She flipped on the light, flooding the entire room with light, and her eyes widened at what she saw. Her husband was naked on the bed, wearing only his boxers. Did she think he wouldn’t come home? What brings him here now? Is she hallucinating?

“Come here, sweetheart, it’s not just you widening your eyes,” Zander said to her.

“I thought it wasn’t you; aren’t you still in the province?” she asked.

“Silly woman, I’m your handsome husband; when you called earlier, I was already here; I fell asleep because I was tired from the trip,” Zander responded.

Zander stood up and approached her, kissing her on the lips for a few seconds longer.

“Wait a minute, I’ll get dressed first. I still smell sweat right now.” Zaneska replied.

“Of course not,” Zander replied, sniffing her neck.

“Are you not in class?” Zaneska asked.

“There’s more, but you’re more important here, and it’s simple to go there.”

Zander sat on Zaneska’s bed and hugged her. He was messing with her hair. He couldn’t stand not seeing her, so he decided to go home and see his wife.

“Get dressed first, then we’ll go to bed; my back hurts,” Zander said.

Zaneska dressed and sat on the bed beside Zander. She kissed him and hugged him. These are the things she’s always wanted, to sleep next to in bed with someone. When she wakes up the next day, she will see a gentle face. This is a lot to ask for, but she is content.

The next day is Wednesday.

So Zaneska stood up, but her entire body hurt from what she and her husband had done. They’re both naked now, hugging each other on the bed with only a blanket covering their entire bodies.

“Zander, wake up. What time is it now? Are you going to school? Your trip is still long,” Zaneska said.

“It’s early, sweetheart, I want to hug you, and I’m tired of what we did; the pain of your bite hasn’t gone away; I didn’t know you bite when you miss me too much,” Zander explained.

Zaneska had a flashback to how wild she had been the night before. That’s when he noticed the numerous bites on Zander’s body.

“Shut up! I’m ashamed of what I did; don’t bring it up again. Get up.”

Zander opened his eyes and looked at her.

“I need two rounds in the morning, and I’ll pack later,” Zander explained.

“Stupid! I may not be able to walk  with that; get up and take a bath,” he said.

“Sweetheart, let’s get up together,” Zander suggested.

“You get to go first.”

“Why would you be embarrassed for me to see your naked body? I always see it and still taste it, so don’t hide it,” Zander said.

“The amount you say. Come on, let’s take a shower together,” Zaneska said.
