Anton had always treated himself the boss of his life. While others were plodding through textbooks, Anton was already busy with business. Sometimes he was reselling cars, other times he was collecting computers to order. It was then that he met Albina. She was a humble honor student, studying a foreign language.
They became lovers. Then, they got married. Soon their firstborn, Dimka, was born. Albina threw herself wholeheartedly into motherhood. A couple of years later, a daughter, Lenochka, arrived. Taking care of two little ones wasted all her time and energy. Albina wanted to hire a nanny.
But Anton rejected it.
Children should be cared for by their mother. Anton said that he was investing everything in developing his business. Meanwhile, he’d buy a big TV, or a car for himself, or go out with friends. And when Albina required a hairdryer, her husband said that her old one was just good.

Time passed away. The children grew up and started school. Albina began to feel lonely and tired. If Albina asked him to go somewhere, Anton would say he was busy while he always found time to meet with his friends.
— We’d better get divorce, — Anton blurted out. — I’m tired of this whole family game. I have my own life. And I need freedom.
— Break up? — Albina said. — What about the children? What about me?
— Well, you’ll be fine, — Anton shrugged. — You’re a mother, after all. You’ll handle somehow.
That very evening, Anton moved out, pick up all his things. Albina couldn’t believe that her comfortable life had destr0yed overnight. She began to find a job. She had to leave the children with a neighbor.
With great difficulty, she handled to get a job as a cleaner at a shopping mall.
It wasn’t the job Albina had wanted, She had to take on extra shifts at night. Albina was ripped between work and home. And then she would be busted in the evenings.
— Mommy, why are you always at work? — little Lena asked. — I miss you so much.
— I’m sorry, sweetheart, — Albina sighed. — I need to earn money to buy us food and clothes.

— And what about Daddy? He earns a lot. Why doesn’t he help us?
Albina didn’t know what to say. Anton had seemingly disappeared from their lives.
Albina barely controlled to get time off from work and went to the office. There, she was in for a sh0ck. It happened that grandfather had been quietly buying shares of various companies throughout his life. And now he had left his entire inheritance to his beloved granddaughter.
Albina couldn’t believe her ears.
She remembered how grandfather always said, “Save your pennies, granddaughter. They’ll come in handy someday.” Now shae understood it.
Albina decided to use the money shrewdly.
She entered in professional development courses to return to her field. And part of the funds was invested in a small business. She opened a café in their neighborhood.
She was happy in working in the dining area sometimes—it helps her feel better the café’s atmosphere and chat with the patrons.
Albina naturally turned to welcome the new guests—and froze. He is Anton. Next to him was a young, striking blonde. She approached the table the couple had chosen.

— Good afternoon. What would you like to order? — Albina said.
Anton looked up from the menu and stared at his ex-wife in sh0ck:
— Albina? Are you working here as a waitress?
— Yes, I work here, — the woman replied calmly. — So, what will you have?
— Two cappuccinos and croissants, — Anton said. — Look at you, down on your luck. I thought you were still working as a cleaner. – he smirked.
— Your order will be ready in a few minutes, — she said.
When Albina brought the order, Anton couldn’t continue commenting again:
— You’re doing pretty well. Maybe serving coffee really is your calling?
Albina said nothing.
— Albina! How are you? So, shall we discuss our proposal? Are you free now?
Albina smiled:
— Well, as you can see, I’m working a bit on the side.
The second man laughed.
— You, as usual. In your situation, everyone is in offices, and here you are, out among the people.
Albina said:

— Enjoy your meal.
Anton sat there, mouth agape.
— So you’re the owner? — he finally managed to ask.
Albina smiled:
— Yes, this is my cafe’. Enjoy. If you need anything, you can ask the waitress Lena.
And Albina came into the office. She could experience her ex-husband’s surprised gaze on her back. It was obvious that she had finally let go of the past.
«This Is Why Celebrities Need To Stop Using Filters.» People Didn’t Recognize Jennifer Lopez in a Recent Interview
Jennifer Lopez shook the world with the news of her new album «This Is Me… Now». Recently, she gave an interview that immediately went viral. However, it’s not just about J.Lo’s music but also her appearance. People everywhere started discussing her «unrecognizable» face.
Why ’This Is Me… Now’ may be her final album.

In a recent interview, Jennifer Lopez shared some surprising news for fans eagerly awaiting her upcoming album, “This Is Me… Now”. The multi-talented star hinted that this album might signal the end of her music career.
Discussing the album’s creation process, Lopez revealed that they explored various album cover designs to create something special for her fans, ensuring they had collector’s items to cherish. However, she admitted uncertainty about her future in music, stating that she doesn’t know if she’ll ever make another album after this one.
In a light-hearted moment, Lopez jokingly mentioned not wanting her manager Benny Medina to know about her thoughts, saying, “Don’t tell Benny that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”

Reflecting on her previous album, “This Is Me… Then,” released 22 years ago during her relationship with Ben Affleck, Lopez acknowledged the evolution of her personal and professional life since then. Despite the possibility of this being her final album, she remains open to new opportunities, emphasizing that while she would “never say never,” she put her heart and soul into this project and feels fulfilled. For Lopez, “This Is Me… Now” symbolizes the end of one era and the beginning of another.
The star had a minimal makeup look.

Dressed elegantly in all-black with gold hoop earrings, Lopez looked stunning as she shared insights about her latest projects. However, her appearance sparked mixed reactions. Some viewers found her look “unrecognizable” and “different” from her usual glamorous style.
Comments on social media platforms reflected a mix of opinions on Jennifer Lopez’s recent interview appearance. Some viewers were taken aback by her minimal makeup, with comments like, “Her eyes look weird,” and “Where are her eyelashes?” questioning the departure from her usual glamorous style. Others speculated about possible reasons for her appearance, with remarks like, “What happened to her face?” and “She looks tired.”

Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts. «I feel like she did her own makeup… Like she didn’t even put on lashes, or at least mascara…like she tried it!».
«Now understand when my grandma told me once, literally one day you wake up and you start looking your age. Her day got here,» commented one. «This is why celebrities need to stop using filters. Once you see the real them, it shocks us how „old“ they look. JLo looks great for her age,» added another.

However, amidst these critiques, there were also positive reactions, with some praising Lopez’s overall look as «beautiful» and «gorgeous.» These comments show how people see things differently when it comes to celebrities. Some might not like changes from the norm, while others appreciate authenticity and natural beauty.
«She’s 54! Get over it! She’s got a lil wrinkle here and there…she looks great even with less makeup,» one wrote.«She looks beautiful embracing her age she looks more natural and more her age she’s glowing,» added another.
Someone wrote that people will always find something to criticise celebrities for. «If she wears too much makeup people say ’Why is she wearing so much make up? Why is she trying to be young?’ And still hate when her makeup is minimal!»
She also talked about her husband Ben Affleck.

Lopez also shared that her recent reunion with her husband, Ben Affleck, inspired her to return to songwriting. She mentioned that music tends to flow more when she’s happy and in love. Affleck’s unwavering support was pivotal during the creative process, as Lopez referred to him as her “biggest fan and cheerleader.” Therefore, the album holds sentimental value for her, symbolizing a chapter in both her love life and career.
Some comments suggested that Affleck had caused Lopez to appear older. One commenter wrote, “Ben has aged her,” while another remarked, “She seems fixated on Ben.” Conversely, others disagreed, highlighting Lopez’s natural beauty regardless of whether she was dressed up or in more casual attire.
Jennifer Lopez has been at the peak of fame for over 20 years, and every move she makes is discussed worldwide. Her personal life is no exception. Recently, people started questioning why Ben Affleck looks unhappy in photos with his wife. JLo couldn’t withstand the scrutiny and provided an answer.
