In the aftermath of a tumultuous three-year marriage, Maria's dreams of a gradual love-filled transformation with her husband, Thompson Brown, are shattered when she discovers his intense hatred towards her. On their wedding anniversary, as Maria prepares a heartfelt dinner, Thompson blindsides her with divorce papers, callously walking away from their once-promising union. Faced with the painful memories of years spent in anguish and isolation, Maria realizes that fighting a losing battle would only prolong her suffering. With a heavy heart, Maria signs the divorce papers, leaving behind everything acquired with the Brown family's wealth. Determined to rebuild her life from scratch, she resolves not to touch a single possession that was tainted by their broken relationship. However, unbeknownst to Maria, Thompson's life becomes plagued by remorse and regret. Haunted by his decisions, he lurks in the shadows, watching over her, hoping for a chance to win her back.

You made it clear last night that you don’t want me here, and I don’t want to stay in a place filled with awful memories.”Her words struck him like a slap. For the first time, Maria was letting her pain show.“I’ll expedite the paperwork,” she added, her voice calm but laced with finality. “Once the annulment is official, I’ll be gone, and you can marry the love of your life.”She didn’t look back, no matter how many times he called her name. If this had been any other moment in her life, she might have stopped. But she’d had enough. Losing herself for someone who didn’t value her wasn’t worth it. Letting go was the only path to peace and dignity.A low hum of an engine pulled Thompson’s attention to the driveway. A sleek red Ferrari parked by the gate, and out stepped a stunning woman dressed in the latest trends, her black ha
“I’ll... make my own, then,” he muttered, feeling a strange sense of loss. It was just breakfast, but it symbolized so much more. He moved towards the kitchen, fumbling with the coffee machine and bread. He could feel Maria's presence in the garden, strong and distant. Her silence weighed on him. As he prepared his meal, Thompson’s mind raced. He had grown used to being in control, but this morning, he felt like a stranger in his own home. He had never seen Maria so resolute, so ready to move on. For the first time, he realized how much damage had been done, how deeply she had been hurt. But thinking of what kind of a woman she was, he knitted his brows. Were it not for the call he received in the morning he would not stoop so low to try and keep her a little longer. He was so angry when he received the call that he fell sick while he was a way, Maria was in deep thought and confusion. Between last night and this morning, what happened to this man. he seemed changed. His behavio
She went to their room and she didn't find Thompson in the room. She sighed with relief thinking he probably left to his study and would not come back till morning. She had encountered the experience over and over. Her cold nights were all she knew.Looking at the empty bed, her tears could not help but fall. She was lonelier that any single woman. She had a husband but she was all alone. A man that is supposed to protect her is the one fighting her. A man that is supposed to trust her is the one doubting her loyalty and motives. The man that is supposed to be her shield has turned out to be the one exposing her. She didn't have the strength to cry in darkness. She wanted to pick the little pieces that is left of her life and start over. That was what she thought. But Maria would never have thought her life will take a turn for the worseShe walked to the closet and changed into her pajamas. She didn't need to put too much effort into her pajamas. She raised the duvet and sli
" All this years. I have tried to be a dutiful wife hoping you will love me eventually. No matter what effort I put on this marriage, you never really gave me a chance... Am I really this hateful? You never really listened to my end of the story about that night. All you do is listen to other people..." She laughed as she looked at the pen next to the drawer Maria's voice trembled with a mix of sadness and anger as she continued, "You believe every word that comes out of Ivonne's mouth, don't you? You've never bothered to hear my side of the story, to understand the truth. You've let her poison your mind against me."Thompson's eyes narrowed, his face contorted with rage. "Don't you dare bring her into this! This is about you and your deceitful ways. I trusted you, and you betrayed me!"Maria's laughter turned bitter, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Betrayal? You think I'm the one who betrayed you? Thompson, you have no idea what lengths Ivonne went to in order to trap you i
" Today is our anniversary. At least have dinner with me. I prepared it for a long time." she said as soon as he got out of the shower. He looked at her for a moment and then it struck him he had never looked at her that closely. Maria is a woman of medium height, standing at around 5'6" with a graceful posture. She has lustrous, wavy chestnut brown hair that falls just below her shoulders. Her eyes are a warm hazel, often sparkling with curiosity and intelligence. Maria has a heart-shaped face with a sprinkling of freckles across her nose and cheeks, giving her a youthful and approachable look. He could not deny the slight emotion he felt when he looked at her and then he remembered he had something to discuss with herHe nodded as he watched her frail body move. He could remember the woman he met the night he was drugged at the silver star hotel. He met a woman lying on his bed and the next thing he knew he had slept with her. What made things worse was the fact that their photos w
