Meanwhile, elsewhere, someone is feeling frustrated, contemplating the state of their troubled marriage, which is falling apart due to their own mistakes.
"Argh!" Zac screams while running his fingers through his hair.
"What more can I do to make Isabelle come back to me?"
-CLICK-
"Why are you yelling?" Jenny asks, placing her hands on her hips in front of her boyfriend.
"Isabelle asked for a divorce," Zac says somberly, lowering his head.
"Well. That's good, then, so you two will get divorced, and you'll be all mine," Jenny teases, sensually caressing Zac chest.
Zac exhales forcefully, pulling away Jenny's hand, which is still on his chest.
"I want you, Zac," Jenny whispers seductively in his ear.
Jenny continues to tease Zac, licking his neck. However, her advances are interrupted by the ringing of Zac's phone.
"Alright, Jenny, I'll answer the call," Zac says, his voice heavy with desire as he tries to resist the temptation from his girlfriend.
'Mom,' Zac's monologue.
"Hello?" Zac says to his mother on the other end of the line.
"Yes, son," his mother responds.
"Why hasn't your wife transferred the money to me yet?"
"I'll ask Isabelle why she hasn't transferred the monthly allowance," Zac tells his mother.
"Okay, son, I'll wait," Zac's mother says before ending the call.
Zac sighs, feeling a headache coming on as he thinks about the state of his marriage. Meanwhile, Jenny has gone into her room. Since she became pregnant, she easily becomes tired and fatigued. Jenny has lost her mood for intimacy with Zac due to the phone call earlier.
Zac retrieves his phone from the table. Zac immediately navigates to the green phone icon app and dials his wife's name from his contacts. He presses the call button, and the call connects.
-RING-
Zac's phone call is abruptly cut off, as Isabelle does not answer. He sighs heavily. He doesn't give up easily; he dials his wife's number again. However, all he can do is curse because his wife still refuses to answer his calls.
Even after attempting to call her 10 times, there is no response from his wife. Zac puts his phone back on the table and closes his eyes. Due to exhaustion, he accidentally falls asleep on the sofa.
**********
Isabelle picks up her phone and calls her friend. It doesn't take long for the call to connect.
"Hello?" Lara greets from the other end.
"Let's go out; I'm going crazy at home," Isabelle answers.
"Okay, bestie, we'll meet at our usual spot."
After finishing the call, Isabelle gets ready to meet Lara, her best friend.
Isabelle exits her car, making sure to wear a mask while traveling because she is a famous model. She heads straight to the VIP room of the restaurant.
Upon arriving at the VIP room, Isabelle approaches Lara. The two friends hug each other as if they haven't seen each other in a long time.
"Should we order first, or do you want to talk?" Lara asks.
"No need; I've already ordered. The food should be here soon," Isabelle says, taking a seat in front of her friend.
"Strange, you're the one inviting me out this time. Usually, I'm the one who asks you, and you're always too busy, either with your husband or your modeling career," Lara comments.
"Zac cheated, Lara," Isabelle says sadly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What?!" Lara exclaims in shock, hearing that her friend's husband cheated. She knows that Zac was deeply devoted to Isabelle.
"Are you sure he really cheated?" Lara asks to confirm what she heard, and Isabelle nods.
"I saw it with my own eyes. He was having an affair in the same room where we used to sleep together. He cheated with Jenny, someone I considered like a sister," Isabelle says with sadness, and tears start to flow without restraint.
Lara immediately rises and embraces her friend to provide comfort. Felling calmer, Isabelle releases her embrace.
Lara, filled with empathy for her friend Isabelle, wipes away Isabelle's tears and looks deep into her eyes.
"We'll get through this together, Isabelle. You're not alone in this," Lara reassures her, holding Isabelle's hands tightly.
Isabelle manages a weak smile, appreciating the unwavering support of her best friend.
"Thank you, Lara. Your friendship means the world to me," Isabelle says, her voice trembling with emotion.
Lara nods, determined to help Isabelle through this difficult time.
"We need to confront Zac and Jenny. They can't just get away with this betrayal," Lara declares, her expression firm.
Isabelle agrees, her resolve strengthening. "You're right, Lara. We need to face them and make them understand the consequences of their actions."
