All these years I have been faced with so much pain but not once did I request for divorce.This was because I hoped that one day our marriage will become a vibrant and happy one.I wanted a happy home and family for my daughter. She deserves it at least.
Now that I caught Luke cheating on me with my own sister, I was still recovering from the shock and he walked in here with divorce papers in his hands Instead of a proper apology." What do you mean divorce?" I stuttered and he moved closer." Are you deaf? I do not want to be in this wreck you call a marriage…" Luke yelled and I flinched." Luke...I…Uhmm, What about our daughter?" I started to stutter out of the fear of what Luke and his mother would do,I was the one that got hurt but I was the one that got served divorce papers." What daughter! That's my daughter…You have nothing to do with her, Sign the papers…Take your property and get out! You are not allowed to leave this house with anything purchased with my money,So you can as well just sign the paper and walk out" Luke commanded ,I had nowhere to go or what to do ,My parents won't let me move in with them,I fell on my knees and started to plead with Luke." Maybe…Just maybe,if you didn't sneak into my room and convinced me to sleep with you,All of this won't happen, Although we didn't plan for our daughter but she happened…."" Are you stupid?" Luke grabbed me from the floor and pinned me to the wall." Hit me ! At least let me feel physical pain…You cheated on me with my sister and you want to throw me out like trash…What have I ever done to you Luke? What!" I screamed and he raised his hands to slap me.This wouldn't be the first time so I was waiting for it." Don't waste your energy on her ,Look here…. Sign those papers and leave this house before my granddaughter comes from ballet rehearsals. You are no longer wanted in this household!""Please, Luke, I'll do anything," I begged, tears streaming down my cheeks. But he remained unmoved, his resolve unyielding."Sign the papers and get out," he demanded, his voice cold and unrelenting.With trembling hands, I reached for the pen, my heart heavy with despair. As I scrawled my signature across the page, it felt like I was signing away not just my marriage, but my entire future.As the reality of my situation sank in, I felt a sense of numbness wash over me. I had 24 hours to leave the only home I had ever known." If you don't leave the house peacefully…We will throw you out"As I rose to my feet, preparing to leave, I felt a surge of anger coursing through me. How could Luke and Nelly betray me like this? How could they treat me with such cruelty and disdain?But as I made my way to the door, my heart heavy with sorrow, I was met with a sight that filled me with a sense of profound betrayal. There, standing in the doorway, was Nelly, my own sister, wearing a smug grin on her face.I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart as she mocked me, hurling insults and taunts in my direction. The realization that she had been sleeping with Luke behind my back, betraying me in the worst possible way, filled me with a sense of profound betrayal.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I struggled to comprehend the magnitude of her betrayal. "Nelly, how could you?" I choked out, my voice trembling with hurt and confusion.Nelly's laughter only grew louder, her eyes gleaming with malicious amusement. "Oh, Carina, you really are as dense as they come," she sneered, her words like a knife to the heart.I felt like I had been punched in the gut as the full weight of her betrayal crashed down on me. How could I have been so blind? How could I have confided in her about my marriage, not knowing that she was sleeping with my husband behind my back?"Stop it, Nelly," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper. "How could you do this to me? How could you betray me like this?"But Nelly just smirked, her eyes cold and unfeeling. "Oh, please, Carina. You were always so weak, so desperate for love and affection. It was easy to manipulate you, to take advantage of your naivety."Her words felt like a slap in the face, each one a painful reminder of my own vulnerability. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to find a way out."Why, Nelly?" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the sound of my own tears. "Why would you do something like this to me?,I told you everything! What I went through in my marriage with Luke and you…"But Nelly just shrugged, her expression devoid of remorse. "Because I could, Carina. Because I wanted him, and I didn't care about the consequences. You were just collateral damage."Her callous words cut me to the core, leaving me feeling empty and broken. How could she be so heartless, so cruel?Dear Diary It’s been three years since everything changed. Sometimes I still marvel at how quickly life can transform from chaos to calm, from pain to peace. I’m sitting in my room now, surrounded by the comforting hum of everyday life, and I feel compelled to capture this moment, to reflect on how far we’ve come, Everyday I wonder if it's a dream but I don't think I want to ever wake up from this dream,I am finally happy, Over the years things have changed but let me take you on the ride. Martins and I are happily married,Ohh and our wedding was the talk of the town, Every day with him feels like a blessing.

I felt a surge of excitement that I couldn’t contain. I wanted to share the incredible news about our engagement with the people who had supported me throughout this journey. Without hesitation, I reached for my phone and dialed Madam Katie’s number.“Hello?” Madam Katie’s warm voice greeted me.“Madam Katie! It’s Carina,” I said, barely able to keep the excitement out of my voice. “I have some wonderful news to share with you!”“Oh, Carina! What’s going on?” she asked, her tone immediately brightening.“I’m engaged!” I blurted out. “Martins proposed to me tonight here in Jeju, and I said yes!”There was a brief pause before Madam Katie’s delighted gasp came through the line. “Oh, Carina, that’s wonderful! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both.”“Thank you! I wish you could have been here to celebrate with us,” I said, my voice filled with happiness. “We had a perfect evening. The setting was beautiful, and the proposal was just as magical as I’d hoped it would be.”“I’m sure it
Martins and I had spent a perfect week exploring the island, soaking in its natural beauty, and trying out new experiences. Today was our last day, and I couldn’t believe how quickly the time had flown by. I’d been recording every moment for a special video, capturing the highlights of our trip.After finishing up my latest video segment about our visit to a stunning waterfall, I was excited to see what Martins had planned for our final evening. He had hinted at a surprise, and the anticipation made my heart race.As we walked back to our accommodation, Martins was unusually quiet, his gaze occasionally shifting to me with a secretive smile. I couldn’t help but wonder what he had in store. When we reached our place, he helped me get ready, making sure I looked my best for whatever the evening had in store.A private car soon arrived to take us to a special restaurant Martins had booked. The ride through the picturesque streets of Jeju felt almost surreal, with the soft evening light c
Carina and Martins prepared for their much-anticipated trip to Jeju Island, the air was filled with a mix of excitement and relief. They had dropped Leah off with Mandy, who was more than happy to look after her. Carina had managed to give Leah a quick hug and a few reassuring words before they left. The bittersweet feeling of leaving Leah behind was softened by the knowledge that she was in good hands. Mandy and Leah stood at the airport, waving goodbye as Carina and Martins made their way to the boarding gate.The airport was bustling with activity, but Carina felt a sense of calm wash over her as they approached the gate. She and Martins had been looking forward to this trip for weeks. It was their chance to unwind and escape the chaos that had dominated their lives recently.As they boarded the plane, Carina felt a flutter of anticipation. She and Martins settled into their seats, and Carina glanced around the cabin, noting the comforting familiarity of their private space. The pl
yMartins had sent a message about a special trip we were taking together to Jeju Island. I couldn’t wait to escape, even if just for a little while. As I approached the front door, I could already feel the excitement bubbling up inside me.Martins greeted me with a warm hug as soon as I walked in. His eyes sparkled with genuine happiness, something I hadn’t seen in a long time. “You made it! I was starting to think you might change your mind.”“Never,” I said, smiling up at him. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”We shared a soft kiss, and it was like the world outside ceased to exist. All the trials and tribulations seemed to vanish for that moment, and it was just the two of us. Martins took my hand and led me to the living room where soft music played in the background. He had set up a cozy space for us to unwind. There was a bottle of wine chilling in a bucket, and he poured us each a glass as we settled into a slow dance.The music was soft, almost ethereal, and as we swayed
The gala party incident had become the talk of the town. Social media buzzed with clips of the shocking revelations and the dramatic arrests of Luke, Claire, and Nelly. News outlets dissected every detail, and the public eagerly awaited the legal proceedings. Carina's bravery in exposing her tormentors was widely praised, but now, the focus shifted to the consequences for those who had wronged her.Claire was the first to be investigated. She sat in the interrogation room, her face a mask of defiance. Despite the overwhelming evidence against her, she maintained her silence."Mrs. Grant, we have substantial evidence against you," the lead detective said, his tone firm but not unkind. "Your best option is to cooperate."Claire’s lawyer, a sharp-eyed man in a tailored suit, leaned forward. "Claire, listen to me. The evidence is irrefutable. If you plead guilty and cooperate, we might be able to negotiate a lighter sentence."Claire’s eyes flashed with anger and fear. She looked at her l
