Sabrina's POV

When I got home, I stayed in my private room. For hours I drowned in suffocating sadness.

"It turns out that my presence means nothing to my husband. Is this what is called old love the real winner?" I said softly and sadly.

Not long after that, a loud car horn was heard.

"He's home." I opened the curtains and peeked down there.

It turned out to be true, it was the sound of Nicholas' car. Slowly, I stood up and left the room, and rushed to meet my husband in the bedroom.

I pulled the doorknob of the room and stepped inside; I saw Nicholas, who was taking off his black tuxedo.

"You're home? It's so rare to be out so late..." I said while walking carefully towards Nicholas. "Where have you been?”

"There's important business outside," Nicholas answered indifferently while unbuttoning his shirt sleeve.

The answer my husband gave made me feel suffocated. He was clearly lying, my husband was dishonest. How could Nicholas lie to me for his ex-wife?

When Nicholas was about to walk away, I held his arm and I looked up at Nicholas' handsome face with a sad gaze.

"If I may ask... have you been spending your time with Hazel all day?" I asked, trying to suppress the rumbling in my chest.

Nicholas stared at me for a moment, then said, "Whoever I meet, it has nothing to do with you, Sabrina!"

"I-I'm just asking..." I said, surprised by my husband's harsh words.

Nicholas released my hand from his arm. "I'm very tired today, don't upset me."

"I-I understand." I turned around and walked closer to the bed and sat there.

My husband was now taking off his white shirt, Nicholas was about to walk to the bathroom, but the ringing of his cellphone caught his attention. He quickly answered the call that seemed very important.

"Hello... What?! Accident?! Which hospital are you in now? I'll be there soon, wait until I get there. Don't go anywhere!"

Nicholas' voice sounded filled with anxiety. The man immediately hung up the call. Nicholas hurriedly grabbed a shirt in the closet and put it on in a hurry.

His face and expression showed that the man was very worried about something.

I, who was curious, approached her husband and asked, "What's wrong? Where are you going at this time of night?"

"I have to go to the hospital," Nicholas answered flatly.

My face became tense. "Hospital? Who's sick?"

"Hazel had an accident a few minutes ago. I have to go there immediately!"

Hearing Hazel's name mentioned by my husband, I stood there frozen with a hurt feeling.

Hazel again. In every situation, it seemed clear that I would always lose to that woman.

"Doesn't she have another family that you have to come to?" I dared to ask in the remaining self-defense.

Nicholas clicked his tongue when he heard my question. "Tsk! I'm in a hurry Sabrina! Hazel is alone there! What if she is badly injured?!"

My lips immediately closed tightly. My fingers squeezed the edge of the dress I was now wearing.

The lines of panic and anxiety on Nicholas' face were so clear, how worried he was to hear the news of his ex-wife's accident.

When Nicholas was about to step towards the door, I grabbed his husband's arm. "You'll come back home later, right?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"Not if she's badly injured," Nicholas said, letting go of my hand just like that.

My husband walked hurriedly away from me and went back to meet his ex who was injured in the hospital.

I was silent, staring blankly at the still-open bedroom door.

"Even though he never panicked when I was sick. But he looked very afraid if that woman was hurt...."

Tears began to well up in my eyes. It felt like something was tearing my heart apart, creating unbearable pain. Why did I feel this way? Why was this jealousy and heartache so excruciating?

I thought back to all the moments we had together. When I was sick, he always remained calm, as if there was nothing to worry about. However, when his ex-wife was injured, he seemed to lose control. There was something I couldn’t ignore—a feeling that I wasn’t the most important thing in his life.

My head was spinning, trying to process all of this. Was I just a substitute? Was the love he gave me not comparable to the love he had for his ex? These questions kept spinning in my mind, making me sink deeper and deeper.

I tried to stand up, but my legs felt weak. I reached for my phone, wanting to call him, but my hand stopped. What should I say? I didn’t want to look weak, but on the other hand, I couldn’t hold back my feelings.

Finally, I decided to go out to the balcony. The cool night air touched my skin, bringing a little calm amidst my storm of emotions. I stared at the twinkling stars in the sky, hoping to find an answer among them.

“Should I hold on?” I whispered to myself. "Or will I continue to get hurt like this?”

    Sabrina's POV"Are you sure, ma'am?"I nodded. "I won't regret my decision," I said seriously.I sat on the back porch of my house with an old man with white hair who put down a file."Okay, I hope you're okay."I gave a slow nod. The man in the gray tuxedo then stood up from his seat and said goodbye.This is what has been going on for the past few years. It hasn’t been easy, and every step has been hard. But I know that this is the right decision for me. After that man left, I stared out into the quiet backyard. The sound of birds chirping and the gentle breeze seemed to remind me that life goes on.

Until you finally understand that I will not give up just because you refuse to let me go." Nicholas frowned, looking disturbed. I knew, maybe he was not used to seeing me insist like this. But I had made my decision. Every day, I would continue to file for divorce. Every time he tore it up, I would make a new one, until finally he had no choice but to accept it. I looked at him with determination. "I want to live without this pain, Nicholas. If you can't let me go, then be prepared to face my wishes every day, at every opportunity, until I am free." I turned around, walking away from him, even though I knew he was looking at me with an angry and disapproving look. But for the first time, I felt a ray of strength emerging from within me. The strength to fight for my right to happiness. I would continue to file those letters until the day he could no lo

    Sabrina's POV “You really would separate me from Charlie, just because I want to be free from this meaningless marriage?” My voice grew softer, full of hurt. “I’ve given you everything, and this is what you get in return?”Nicholas just laughed sarcastically. “Free? Do you think it’s that easy, Sabrina? As long as I still want this, our marriage will never end. And Charlie, he’s my son. You have no right to him.”I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but I held them back, not wanting to appear weak in front of him. “Charlie may not be my biological son, Nicholas, but I have always treated him like my own. But you, you have used him as a weapon against my desire to live in peace.”Nicholas just snorted, then stood up from the chair with a rough movement. “If you think I will change my mind just because of your whiny feelings, you are very wrong.” He stared at me coldly, as if I was just someone insignificant.“Do whatever you want, Sabrina. But remember, I will always win.” With those

    Sabrina's POV I tried to hold myself up by holding onto the sink, but the world began to spin faster. Suddenly my body felt so weak and light, that my grip on the sink slowly slipped. My eyes began to blur, my vision blurred, and I collapsed to the bathroom floor, unable to catch myself. As I fell, my hand accidentally knocked over several bottles of skincare that were arranged on a small shelf next to the sink. One by one the bottles fell, producing a faint sound of breaking glass that reached my increasingly indistinct ears.Instantly, the room was silent. I lay weakly on the cold floor, with the faint scent of skincare and blood mixed in the air. Only silence enveloped me as my body felt like it was sinking into darkness, leaving all the suffocating pain behind the bathroom door. In the silence that enveloped me, I felt my head and body start to feel light. Darkness filled my vision, making me feel even more isolated from the outside world. The

The darkness of the room felt more depressing than usual as if the house was feeling my emotional exhaustion. I turned on the lights, hung my bag near the door, then took off my shoes in slow motion.Every corner of the room was so familiar, yet it felt empty. I walked towards the sofa and let myself fall on it, my tired body leaning back while my thoughts drifted back to Charlie.

    Sabrina's POV After we were tired of playing, we sat on one of the park benches eating ice cream. Charlie chewed on the strawberry ice cream in his hand enthusiastically, while I sat next to him, occasionally taking a bite of my own chocolate ice cream. The cold air from the ice cream was refreshing, even though the atmosphere between Nicholas and I was far from relaxed. Nicholas sat across from us, eating his vanilla ice cream quietly, although I could see his eyes glancing at me every now and then. I tried to avoid eye contact, focusing on Charlie who was telling me about his school. "Mom, I drew a family picture at school!" he said cheerfully. "There's me, Mom, Dad... but I forgot to draw Mom Hazel," he said innocently. I was silent for a moment, trying to cover up the stinging feeling that suddenly crept into my chest.

Mommy loves Charlie very much." Charlie paused for a moment, looking at me with his round eyes. "I love you too, Mom. If you leave again, I'll be sad," he said innocently.Those words stabbed my heart like a knife. I tried to smile, even though it was hard. "Mommy won't leave again, honey," I promised.

However, Nicholas' words just now surprised me. He... defended me?My head was spinning, trying to process everything. Nicholas, who was usually full of coldness and sarcasm, was suddenly standing beside me as if I was something very precious. Gratitude and confusion mixed in my chest. Charlie, in my arms, seemed oblivious to the tension that filled the air around us."I can't believe you would say that," I whispered softly, though only to myself.
