For so long, he had been a fool, the executioner of Mary's hopes and dreams, all for a crshe had never committed. She had given him her heart, her youth, and her innocence, only to be treated like a pawn in his game. With a trembling hand, he pulled out his phone and called Matthew.

"Sir, you already know Alexia was there. She cto see you before the wedding...
Matthew's words echoed in Maximus's ears. It was true-he had forgotten that Alexia had cto him on the day of the wedding. She had asked him not to marry Mary, even offering to quit her job to make things easier for him. But Maximus, wrapped up in his complicated relationship with both women, had dismissed her plea. He had known that Mary would be his wife in name, but Alexia would remain by his side whenever he wanted. Alexia had known, too, and by not resigning, she had silently agreed to bechis mistress. She had stormed out of the room in a fit of rage, and from then on, he hadn't seen her until the reception.
"Even so, Matthew," Maximus continued after a pause, "I want to know if she said anything to Mary. I need to know what happened." "I'll look into it, sir. But it's been almost four years. It might take time." "And Matthew, don't breathe a word of this to Alexia.
"Of course, sir. This is strictly between us." Meanwhile, at the airport, Catherine and Peter boarded the private plane. Mary was already settled into her seat, fast asleep from exhaustion. Peter observed her quietly, his heart aching for the woman who had been mistreated by his brother. If he hadn't been so immature back then, the woman before him might have been his wife, and none of this would have happened.
"My dear, how is she doing?" Catherine asked softly as she took her seat beside him.

"I need your help with her, Peter. Your energy is contagious, and you might be able to lift her spirits. "What process are you talking about?" Peter asked, frowning slightly.
"I've decided to support her decision to divorce Maximus. I'll provide her with the best lawyer to make the separation as smooth and quiet as possible. If I can help it, I don't want her to ever have to go back to him." +25 BONUS Chapter 0058 Peter looked at his grandmother in surprise. "Why the sudden change of heart?" Catherine's expression darkened. “Because, my son, can no longer ignore what Maximus has done. He's crossed the line. He's hurt and humiliated her, and who knows what else. I can't stand by and let him destroy her life any further." "Grandma," Peter began, shocked by her bluntness, you never speak like this." "Well, this time, I am. Maximus has gone too far, and m afraid it's tfor you to take his place as president of the company." "No!" Peter shook his head. “I'm not cut out for that. You know I prefer my freedom. Running the company has never been my dream."
"Think about it, Peter. Maximus will have to face the consequences of his actions. He may have to be sent to New York. You're the only one left to take over
"Abuela, Maximus is a grown man. He can refuse, just like I can, and you know exactly what I mean."Catherine sighed, her anger subsiding as she smiled at him. "You don't even believe that yourself. But let's not argue about this right now. We have more important things to focus on."
