Chapter 137

• The following weeks were definitely better for Roshene, more bearable, more peaceful, and the loneliness that had engulfed her from the beginning gradually disappeared. Marina talked very often with her, whenever they saw each other, and curiously, she stayed longer in the house, sometimes even when she came back from university, they would go to the pool together to spend time, chat, laugh, enjoy, and even realized that they had many things in common, things that they had not discovered before due to their differences.
• It had been about three weeks since Roshene had last seen Maximilien, he was away for work reasons. However, the week before the trip, their relationship had not changed much. They did not speak to each other and did not even greet each other. He simply stopped being rude, although he also ignored her, which was practically the same.
• The moments of torture for her were always at night, when she went to bed and her husband demanded her marital duties. On one occasion, he even hinted that it was time to have a baby, something she vehemently refused because she would not have a child, at least not with him. She still hoped that someday, when her father was fully recovered, she would leave Carson and ask for a divorce. She was still young, she would find someone who truly wanted her and clearly loved her. But that was something she would have to wait for, at least for the next few months, maybe years. She had to be patient and wait, Mr. Volkov could not have a relapse, or it would be detrimental to his health.
