VIVIAN "I want a divorce." The words hit me harder than a slap. For a moment, I thought I had heard David wrongly. My fingers tightened around the glass of water in my hand as I stared at my husband at the living room. "What... what did you just say?" David didn't answer immediately. Instead, he placed a brown envelope on the table between us. My heart suddenly began to race. Slowly, I picked it up. My hands trembled as I opened it. The moment my eyes landed on the document inside, my entire body froze. Divorce Agreement. I blinked once. Twice. Three times. But the words remained the same. "No..." A painful laugh escaped my lips. "This isn't funny." David remained silent. His silence was enough. The color drained from my face. "You can't be serious." "I'm serious, Vivian." My heart shattered. I looked at him as though I had never seen him before. The man sitting before me was my husband. The man I had loved for almost ten years. The man I had sacrificed e

"I knew something was changing between them." The thought had been haunting me for weeks. Every time David's phone rang, he stepped away to answer it. Every time he left the house, he seemed distracted. Every time I asked where he had been, his answer felt shorter than before. At first, I told myself I was overthinking. After everything we had been through, I trusted my husband. I trusted the man who had held me while I cried in the hospital. The man who promised never to leave me. The man who told me we would find another way to have a child. Yet, the uneasy feeling in my chest refused to disappear. And deep down, I was afraid to ask why. Three months earlier... I barely left my room after receiving the doctor's diagnosis. The words still echoed in my mind. "You can no longer carry a child." Every morning, I woke up hoping it had all been a nightmare. Every night, I cried myself to sleep. I felt broken. Incomplete. Like a part of me had died. David tried his bes

The image refused to leave my mind. No matter how hard I tried, I kept seeing it. David kissing Charlotte. His hands on her face. The tenderness in his eyes. The way Charlotte smiled at him. I sat on the edge of my bed, hugging my knees tightly as tears streamed down my face. How had everything changed so quickly? How had the man who once promised me forever become a stranger? My phone suddenly rang. I looked at the screen. New York Central Hospital. Immediately, I answered. "Hello?" "Is this Miss Vivian Hart?" "Yes." The doctor's voice sounded urgent. "Your aunt, Beatrice, was brought into the hospital this morning. She suffered a severe heart attack." My entire body froze. "What?" "She is stable for now, but she needs emergency surgery." The room spun around me. Beatrice was all I had left. After losing my parents, she had become my mother, my guardian, and my family. "How much is the surgery?" I asked shakily in the doctor's office.

I felt a warm hand holding mine.The touch was firm yet gentle.Not demanding.Not possessive.Just... comforting.For a moment, I thought I was dreaming.I tried to open my eyes.Nothing happened.I tried to move my fingers.Nothing.My entire body felt trapped.As though I was buried beneath invisible chains.But my ears worked.I could hear everything.Every voice.Every movement.Every sound around me."Doctor, how is she doing?"The deep masculine voice from earlier spoke again.My heart skipped.It was the same voice I had heard before everything went dark.The same voice that somehow made everyone in the room fall silent.The doctor sighed."Physically, she's stable."There was a pause."But emotionally..."His voice trailed off.The man remained silent."What about emotionally?" he asked.The doctor cleared his throat."I believe she suffered a severe emotional breakdown."The words pierced through me.A severe emotional breakdown.Maybe he was right.Maybe that was exactly wh
