Daedalus And Icarus By Nick Pontikis

Adele has been married for 10 years, being a full-time, dutiful wife and mother who sacrified her life and career for her family.

Adele was humiliated, shamed, and dragged by the public and Julia, who stole her design, yet her husband, Ryan, bowed to them and apologized. “I'm sorry, my wife has been stressed lately. Being a full-time housewife, she has no idea what the world is like. Please don't hold her accountable for this.” He turned to Julia, “Can you forgive her for crashing your daughter's birthday?
