Ang kasal ay isang sagradong seremonyas para sa dalawang nag-iibigan… Ngunit sa loob ng apat na taong pagsasama, ni minsan ay hindi naramdaman ni Zia na itinuring siyang kabiyak ni Louie. Kung tutuusin ay para siyang bagay na napapakinabangan lang kung kailangan ngunit hindi naman magawang pahalagahan. Isang ibong nasa hawla na hindi kayang kumawala. Lahat ng sakit at hirap ay tiniis ni Zia dahil mahal niya ang asawa. Kahit pa ibang babae ang kinahuhumalingan nito. Hanggang isang gabi, habang malakas ang buhos ng ulan ay iniwan siya ni Louie para puntahan si Bea sa ibang bansa. Mag-isa at nahihirapan habang dumadaloy pababa ang dugo mula sa pagitan ng kanyang hita. Ginapang niya ang sakit makahingi lang ng tulong para sa batang kanyang ipinagbubuntis. Makalipas ang tatlong taon, sa muli niyang pagbabalik ay malaki ang ipinagbago ni Zia… Ngunit hindi si Louie. “Hiwalay na tayo, Mr. Rodriguez!” Napangisi ito. “Mrs. Zia Cruz… Rodriguez, hindi ko pa pinipirmahan ang divorce papers. Sa madaling salita… asawa pa rin kita at hinding-hindi ka na makakawala pa sa’kin.”

“Maybe we should get a divorce. Name your prize and leave.” Dylan said and I hiccuped immediately. My heart beat increased rapidly. Just then, my phone buzzed and I knew why he wanted a divorce. My sister was back. Even after three years of dedication and loving him, it turned out Dylan never got over Lexa. He was quick to rush to her as soon as she arrived in the city. Tears welled up in my eyes realising I was nothing but a space holder for my sister. Fine, I would leave. But the next time you see me, I won't be the same. Goodbye forever, I’ll forget we ever met.

The tenth time one of my paintings appeared under my sister Rose's name, I handed Adrian the divorce papers. He raised an eyebrow and tossed the agreement aside without a second glance. "Don't be dramatic. Your hand is ruined -- where would you even go without me?" I said nothing. He smiled, his tone dripping with casual indifference. "You should be grateful. Rose was the one I was supposed to marry. A few paintings is a small price to pay. A little gratitude wouldn't kill you." He blew a ring of cigarette smoke directly into my face. I choked, and the sting brought tears to my eyes. Through the blur, I was transported back to the moment my tendons were severed for his sake -- a pain that had drilled straight to the bone. He thought I had no choice but to take it. What he didn't know was that I'd already accepted an offer from the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Soon, I would be free of him for good.
