A Love That Was Never Mine
I was so shocked and overwhelmed with grief that I couldn’t breathe.
However, it wasn’t just Henry’s betrayal that hurt me the most. It was seeing the other two people in the photos—my parents. They had done everything to ensure Issa’s happiness at the expense of my own.
Suddenly, it struck me. Every time Henry declared his love for his family during interviews, I used to believe it was his subtle, sincere declaration of love for me. Now, I realized how foolish I had been.
He wasn’t just talking about me. He was talking about Issa and their son, Bear, too. That love… It was never mine alone.
