Sieben Jahre Ehe. Maximilian von Falken behandelte sie kalt wie Eis, doch Clara begegnete ihm stets mit einem Lächeln. Weil sie ihn zutiefst liebte. Sie glaubte, eines Tages sein Herz erwärmen zu können. Doch alles, was sie erntete, war seine bedingungslose Liebe zu einer anderen Frau, die er mit allen Mitteln beschützte. Verzweifelt kämpfte sie weiter um ihre Ehe. Bis zu jenem Tag – ihrem Geburtstag. Sie war tausende Kilometer gereist, um ihn und ihre Tochter im Ausland zu besuchen. Er aber nahm ihre Tochter mit, um jene andere Frau zu treffen, und ließ sie allein im leeren Haus zurück. Da starb endgültig etwas in ihr. Als ihre eigenhändig großgezogene Tochter verlangte, die andere Frau solle ihre Mama werden, brach Clara das Herz. Sie setzte die Scheidungsvereinbarung auf, verzichtete auf das Sorgerecht und ging ohne einen Blick zurück. Von da an kümmerte sie sich nicht mehr um Maximilian und Tochter, sondern wartete nur noch darauf, dass die Scheidung vollzogen würde. Sie gab die Familie auf und kehrte zu ihrer Karriere zurück. Die einst von allen verachtete Frau verdiente mühelos ein Milliardenvermögen. Doch sie wartete und wartete – die Scheidung wurde nicht nur nicht vollzogen, der Mann, der früher nie nach Hause wollte, kam plötzlich immer häufiger zurück und klammerte sich immer fester an sie. Als er erfuhr, dass sie die Scheidung wollte, drängte der sonst so vornehm-kalte Mann sie in eine Ecke: „Scheidung? Das kommt nicht in Frage. “

婚約者・祖浜進介（そはま しんすけ）にブロックされてから、55日が経過した。 私は、八年も待ち続けた結婚式をキャンセルした。 その間、彼はうつ病を患った幼なじみ・石塚ニナ（いしづか にな）と共に、K寺で心の療養をしていた。 彼は長年参拝客が絶えなかったK寺を、半年間も閉鎖させた。 一方で、私は彼の突然の失踪により記者に追い詰められ、家にも帰れなくなった。 やむを得ず、私は彼を探しにK寺まで行った。 しかし、「寺の静けさを乱すな」と言われて、山から追い出された。 真冬の寒さの中、私は山のふもとで気を失い、命の危険にさらされかけた。 目を覚ましたとき、私は見た―― 進介が自らの手でK寺の境内に、愛の象徴である無数のバラを植えている姿。 半年後、彼はようやく下山し、ニナを連れて帰ってきた。 そして、彼女と一緒に植えたバラを、私との新居に飾りつけたのだ。 私はただ冷ややかな目で見つめている。 彼はまだ知らない―― 私がもうすぐ別の人と結婚することを。

It was our wedding anniversary when my husband's high school sweetheart posted a sonogram picture on her social media, with her captioning a public thank-you to my husband: [Thank you to the man who's been there for me for ten years, and for giving me a son.] The room spun, and anger surged through me as I quickly commented: [So, you're proud of being a homewrecker?] Almost immediately, my husband called, his voice full of rage. "How can you think such disgusting things? All I did was help her with IVF, fulfilling her dream of becoming a single mom. "And by the way, Ruby only needed one try to get pregnant, while you’ve been through three rounds with nothing. Your body is useless!" Just three days ago, he told me he was going abroad for business—ignoring my calls and messages the entire time. I thought he was just busy. However, it turned out he was with her, attending her prenatal checkup. Half an hour later, Ruby posted again, showing off a table full of delicious food. [I got tired of French food, so Ash made me all my favorite dishes. He’s the best!] I stared at the pregnancy test in my hand, the joy I had felt earlier now completely gone. After eight years of love and six years of swallowing my pride just to keep the marriage alive, I’m finally ready to let go.
