I had everything planned a month in advance for our holiday. I was going to take my wife and daughter on a trip to see the country's beautiful landscapes, but just before we were supposed to leave, they both disappeared. I ended up standing alone in the pouring rain, trying to call them. My daughter's voice came through over the phone—it was cold and impatient. "Mommy's having dinner with Uncle Skyler.

The rain had already drenched me, and I was running a high fever that turned into pneumonia. Meanwhile, the two of them were off enjoying a vacation with Skyler Shire. That was the moment I knew—this marriage was well and truly over.

Her life is full of lies, have many hidden secrets and delusions, way too far from a simple and ordinary life.

Everyone around her became hypocritical, everyone had a hidden secret and intentions. But he came into her life and helped her leave the world she's been suffering for a long time, a world that is full of lies. She fell in love with him, but destiny is too playful.
