Murder. That’s what the world called it. To him, it was mundane. My husband didn’t even blink while stabbing me twenty-seven times… Not even when he knew I was thirteen weeks pregnant with his child.

Hanggang saan ang kakayanin mong tiisin? Kung paulit-ulit na pinapamukha sayo ng taong mahal mo na isa kang babaing walang dignidad? Na babaing tinikman ng lahat ng lalaki? Kaya mo bang tiisin ang pagmamahal sa taong hindi kana kayang mahalin dahil lang sa isang pagkakamali?

I built one for us, and you broke it.

Avant le divorce de Lyne Gauthier, quelqu’un l’a conseillée : « Il t’a trompée et a donné naissance à un enfant illégitime, c’est vrai, mais beaucoup d’hommes dans le monde entier font ces erreurs. Tu ferais mieux de faire preuve d’indulgence et bien élever son enfant. » Lyne, après le divorce, est devenue la femme la plus riche du monde, et beaucoup de jeunes hommes l’entouraient. Chaque fois que des rumeurs sur sa relation amoureuse se répandaient, la première personne à les dissiper était Julien Alber, son ex-mari. « Je crois en mon ex-femme, ces gens n’ont rien à voir avec elle. » Un jour, Lyne a été interviewée par un journaliste. « Madame Lyne, que se passerait-il si vous tombiez amoureuse de quelqu’un d’autre que votre petit ami ? » Lyne a répondu en souriant : « J’espère que mon petit ami sera plus indulgent, après tout, ce n’est qu’une erreur que font les femmes du monde entier. » Julien s’est écrié : « Je n’arrive pas à l’être ! »

For eighteen years, my wife, Elizabeth Connerty, never once reached out to her first love, Lucas Ryder. She committed herself fully to me and cooked warm meals for me. She attended every parent-teacher conference for our daughter. She carefully planned our family trips year after year. That was how we lived—quietly, steadily, and happily—for eighteen years. But after our daughter celebrated her eighteenth birthday, I turned to Elizabeth and said, "Let's get a divorce." She stood in the doorway of our daughter's bedroom, staring at me in stunned silence. I added calmly, "When our daughter was born, you promised me that once she turned eighteen, we would divorce."
