Evelyn stood in front of the wall  mirror in her closet, adjusting the tea length red dress  that's abit body fitting. It wasn’t the most beautiful outfit she owned, but it was simple and elegant, just how Sebastian liked it, or so she thought. Tonight marked their third wedding anniversary, and though Sebastian hadn’t really mentioned celebrating, Evelyn wanted to surprise him with a quiet dinner at home, just for both of them.

She smoothed a hand over her belly, with a big soft smile spreading across her lips. The secret she had carried for the past few days was too big to keep any longer.  She would tell Sebastian the news tonight, news that would surely bring them closer, help fix the conflict between themselves, and remind him of what they had once shared.

Her heart raced fast as she moved on the staircase of their mansion, with so many wishes and prayers. The chandelier overhead cast shimmering light across the marble floor, making the house seem alive, almost theatrical.

“Sebastian?” she called out, her voice echoing through the vast, empty space.

However, there was no answer. 

She showed a hint of disappointment momentarily, but then dismissed it. He was most likely in his office, engaged in one of his numerous business transactions. His refuge had always been work, and she had come to understand and tolerate it, despite it making her feel isolated. 

Upon reaching his office, she stopped in surprise upon hearing a gentle female voice murmuring. The slightly open door piqued her curiosity and drew her in. Looking through the opening, she caught sight of her cousin Vanessa seated on Sebastian's lap, causing her to take a sharp breath. 

Vanessa's fingers slowly gliding up Sebastian's chest, her red lips forming a seductive smile. "You've made me wait for too long, my love," she lamented. "When will you finally make things right, my love, when will I have you completely to myself?" 

Evelyn experienced the sensation of the ground disappearing beneath her. She struggled to see through her tears, her hands shook as she clutched the door handle for stability. 

"I have already," Sebastian calmly responded, his tone lacking the warmth Evelynn once thought was only for her. She will surely put her signature on the documents this evening. Following that, there is no impediment in our way. 

Evelyn felt her mind in a rush, every word piercing her heart like glass shards. Do you have any documents? Which papers? 

Unable to remain concealed any further, she used a trembling hand to push the door open. 

"Is Sebastian being interrupted by me?" she inquired, her voice falsely calm. 

Both Sebastian and Vanessa looked at her with expressions that seemed unreasonable. Vanessa got up from his lap, a smug smile on her lips, as if she had been caught doing something insignificant. 

"Sebastian spoke to Evelyn with a hint of impatience instead of guilt in his tone." It is imperative that we have a discussion immediately! 

Evelyn entered the room, quickly shifting her gaze back and forth among the people present. Still attempting to comprehend what she had just witnessed, she stated, "We definitely need to have a discussion," even though her voice wavered, betraying her attempt to appear calm. 

As Vanessa left the room, she walked by, accidentally brushing her shoulder. Evelyn reacted with a sudden movement but stood firm, keeping her eyes locked on Sebastian. 

"Sebastian, what's happening?" 

She asked angrily, her hands tightly clenched, "What does this mean?" 

He let out a deep sigh and extended his hand towards a pile of papers on his desk. "This is the situation," he said, offering them to her. 

Evelyn waited a few minutes before picking up the papers. She looked over the heading: Divorce Agreement. Tears welled up in her eyes, causing the words to blur. 

"What... what is this?" she murmured, her voice barely able to be heard. 

Sebastian remarked indifferently, "It's precisely as it appears."I am exhausted, Evelyn." I am exhausted from pretending. I'm not happy with this marriage. "It hasn't been for an extended period." 

Evelyn shook her head, finding it impossible to comprehend what he was saying. "Isn't it functioning?" she echoed, Is it not functioning as needed for you, you imply, her voice getting louder. "Everything I did for you doesn't matter now?" "Considering all the sacrifices I've made?" 

Sebastian ran his hand through his impeccably groomed hair, appearing more annoyed than regretful. "Let's not exaggerate, please." I've already put my signature on the documents. All you need to do is also sign them, then we can both be finished and move forward. 

She gasped, her breath stuck in her throat. 

Continue forward? 

Are you telling me to move on? 

Is it possible for a signature to erase three years of marriage? 

"Did any of it actually happen, did you ever feel intrigued, Sebastian?" she inquired, her voice trembling. "Have you ever had feelings for me?" 

His lack of words sufficed as a complete response. 

Evelyn's knees were shaky, yet she was determined not to fall in front of him. Instead of that, she adjusted her posture and looked directly into his eyes. "Being a coward," she said with a voice that shook from both anger and heartache.

    Evelyn's hands shook as she went to grab the divorce documents, the gravity of the situation settling heavily in her chest like a thousand pounds. She stood still, gazing at the crisp, clear letters on the front page of the paper - Petition for Divorce. The words appeared to blend together in front of her eyes, a harsh illusion that ridiculed her every desire, every offering. She had put in so much effort to become the ideal spouse. She concealed her riches to align with his lifestyle, feigning a different persona as a sign of her affection and commitment. She had suffered through his aloofness, his detachment, solely for the hope of being happy, for the fantasy that eventually, he would view her as something beyond just a business deal.

    The faint glow of morning entered Evelyn's tiny apartment through the blinds. The white walls, once perfectly clean, had turned yellow over time, with a slight musty smell in the air. Seated with her legs crossed on the old couch, she nervously held onto the hot coffee mug, her fingers shaking. The bitterness lingered on her taste buds, not from the coffee alone, but from the burden of past events. Last night seemed to be the peak of a nightmare, but she remained in the dream. Sebastian's cold words reverberated in her thoughts, each sound piercing more deeply with every syllable. "Evelyn, I've had enough of this marriage." "I don't want you." "Put your signature on the documents." The memory caused a shiver to run down her back. Her heart felt empty, as if the love she had cherished for so long had been forcefully taken from her. Evelyn quickly looked at the pile of untouched boxes near the entrance. She had hardly finished unpacking after she had arrived in this place late las

    Evelyn's former grand mansion was now being pelted by a constant downpour outside the windows. Currently, it seemed like a tomb of unfulfilled commitments. She was in the large, dimly illuminated living area, encircled by her neatly arranged luggage. The quietness was overwhelming, except for the soft ticking of the old clock on the fireplace. Sebastian reclined on the stylish leather couch across the room, exuding a sense of apathy that pierced her like a sharp knife. He held his phone, casually scrolling through messages with his thumb, treating the end of their marriage as a minor inconvenience instead of a heartbreaking betrayal. Evelyn took a deep breath, gripping the handle of her suitcase with clenched fingers. She briefly had trouble seeing clearly as she looked around the room, admiring the luxurious decorations - the crystal chandeliers, the soft carpets, and the framed pictures from their wedding still hanging tauntingly on the walls.

    The taxi raced through the wet streets of Chicago, with the city's tall buildings glistening in the rain. Evelyn sat in the rear seat, embracing herself tightly. Fragments of memories, both happy and painful, raced through her mind as she left behind her old life. She grieved not only for the mansion or the marriage. It was the act of being betrayed, humiliated, and abandoned by a man she had loved and cherished. The cab driver inquired, "Where shall we go, madam?" as he looked at her in the rearview mirror. Evelyn paused before making a decision. She had no specific goal or place to go to. The idea was intimidating, but oddly freeing. With a deep breath, she mentioned the name of a simple hotel located on the edge of the city. It wasn't a lot, but it would provide her with the opportunity to ponder and plan her subsequent actions. The taxi stopped in front of the hotel, a modest building with a flashing neon sign. Evelyn handed the driver money and got out into the rain. Evelyn
