2024-11-01 19:35:01Sabrina'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. It turned out to be true; it was the sound of Nicholas's car. Slowly, I stood up, 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 looked up at Nicholas's 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, walked closer to the bed, and sat down. 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, which 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's voice sounded filled with anxiety. The man immediately hung up the call. Nicholas hurriedly grabbed a shirt from the closet and put it on in a hurry. His face and expression showed that he was very worried about something. I, who was curious, approached my 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 go to?" I dared to ask in a last-ditch effort at 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's face were so clear; how worried he was to hear the news of his ex-wife's accident. When Nicholas was about to step toward the door, I grabbed his arm. "You'll come back home later, right?" I 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, 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 Days passed, and my condition still had not improved. I had just woken up from my sleep in a panic. I had fallen asleep for two hours after taking the medicine, until I forgot to pick up Charlie from school. "Oh my God, what time is it?!" I looked at the clock on the wall in my room. "Gosh! What have I done? Charlie must be crying, waiting for me!" I hurriedly got out of the room. Even though my body felt weak and powerless, I still forced myself to move. My heavy steps carried me down the stairs. However, when I had not yet stepped onto the first floor, the door to my house opened wide. I heard Charlie's cry, which made me panic instantly. "Sabrina!" a woman shouted loudly, calling for her. "Mom..." I looked at my mother-in-law, who had come with Hazel. The woman was now carrying Charlie, who was struggling in her arms. I was silent for a moment. Didn't Nicholas say yesterday that Hazel had an accident? But why didn't the woman look hurt at all?! Not yet awar

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. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. This divorce wasn’t just about ending a relationship; it was about finding myself again. I felt like I had lost myself in that marriage, and now it was time to rediscover who I really was. I grabbed a piece of paper and started writing—writing about the hopes and dreams I wanted to achieve after all of this. I wante

Sabrina's POVI stared at Nicholas with unstoppable tears, even though his grip was so tight on my shoulder. I didn't understand why he was acting like this, as if our marriage was so precious to him when in every step, I always felt insignificant in his life. I tried to calm myself down, but my anger was getting higher. I wanted to ask him why he did this, why he kept forcing me to stay with him even though I was already unhappy.However, the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat. I was afraid of Nicholas' anger, afraid that my words would only make things worse. I tried to take a deep breath, trying to understand this situation with a cool head.But the feeling of injustice continued to surge in my heart. I never asked to be involved in this marriage, I never asked to marry Nicholas. I was just an ordinary woman who wanted to live happily, without having to be trapped in a relationship full of lies.I wanted to break free from Nicholas' grip, but I was also afraid of the c

Sabrina's POV I stared at Nicholas sharply. "I won't stop. Tomorrow, or the days after, you will continue to find those letters. 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 My steps stopped when I heard the little voice that I had missed so much."Mom!"I turned around slowly, almost in disbelief. There, Charlie stood with his innocent face, his eyes sparkling as he stared at me. Unconsciously, my tears flowed even faster. When he started running towards me, I spread my arms wide, waiting with a heart filled with warmth that I couldn't describe with words.As soon as I reached his arms, Charlie immediately hugged me tightly, as if afraid that I would disappear. I returned his hug with all my heart, feeling his warm and soft little body on my chest, covering all the sadness that I had been holding in. In his arms, I felt whole again.We both fell silent for a moment, enjoying the moment of togetherness that we had been waiting for so long. My heart was filled with gratitude and love that flowed so heavily. After being separated for so long, we were finally reunited.From this incident, I learned that a mother's love can never be replaced by

Sabrina's POV "Forgive me, Charlie..." I whispered, my voice almost lost by my own tears. I could only watch Hazel drag Charlie who continued to cry in pain. My son was still struggling, his little hands reaching out towards me, while his cries begged me to take him. "Mom! Please! Don't leave me, Mom!"I could no longer hold back my tears. My body felt weak, but I couldn't do anything. Hazel finally managed to get Charlie into her car. Charlie was still kicking the car door, his face full of tears and panic. But Hazel quickly closed the door and ignored his cries.I could only watch the car move away, carrying my son who was still screaming for me. The car drove further away, leaving Charlie's little shadow struggling inside.When the sound of his cries disappeared from my hearing, my whole body felt empty. It felt like I had lost a part of myself. I fell to my knees, covering my mouth with both hands to hold back the sound of sobbing so deeply and painfully.Silently, I could onl

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

Nicholas’s POV That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, but its soft light was already streaming through our bedroom window. Beside me, Sabrina was still asleep, her face calm despite our deep conversation the night before.I felt relieved to have comforted her, assuring her that I would always be there for her and Charlie. Seeing her sleep peacefully made me grateful. We had been through so much, and although there were tensions to face, I believed we could find a way out together.As I gazed at her face, my mind drifted back to our conversation last night. Her fear of losing Charlie was very real, and I wanted to protect both of them from anything that could hurt them.

After showering and changing into my work clothes, I left the room and caught the delici

Sabrina's POV My eyes lingered on his face longer than usual. I knew that the fear I had expressed to Nicholas wasn’t just an ordinary worry. I truly didn’t want to lose this child. Charlie meant everything to me. He might not be my biological child, but my love for him had surpassed the boundaries of blood and birth ties. My gaze fell on an object at the edge of the bed. A small toy robot from Hazel. I reached out and gently grabbed it. The toy was still lit, its light blinking softly. Charlie must have been so happy earlier. I could imagine his face when he received it directly from Hazel. But because of that, my feelings churned again. There was a faint yet piercing wound. I stared at the toy, then back at Charlie’s face. I gently caressed his cheek. “I’m sorry if I was selfish earlier,” I whispered softly, more to myself. “I was just scared. So scared…” I took a deep breath

Sabrina's POV I stepped closer, bent down for a moment, then sat on the edge of Charlie’s bed. The little one was still sound asleep, unaware that he had become the center of my worries tonight. Seeing his peaceful face made me feel calmer, even though the weight in my heart still lingered.Nicholas stood by the door, looking contemplative. I could sense the depth of our feelings. We were both parents trying to do what was best for Charlie, even though sometimes our ways were different.I turned my gaze to Nicholas, trying to find a way to bridge our feelings. “We need to be better at communicating,” I said softly, hoping to open the door to a more constructive discussion.Nicholas nodded, as if he agreed with what I was saying. A sense of guilt began to envelop my heart, reminding me that we both just wanted to protect Charlie, even though we often got caught up in differing perspectives.The tense atmosphere began to so

Sabrina's POVI waited in the living room, watching the clock on the wall move painfully slow. It was past nine in the evening, and the house was still quiet. Just a moment ago, I heard the door open and Nicholas's careful footsteps as he carried a sleeping Charlie in his arms.I watched them in silence, holding back the anger that had been rumbling in my chest.“He's back,” I said, my tone icy. My eyes never left Nicholas's face.He turned quickly, perhaps sensing the tone in my voice. “He fell asleep after playing…”“I know he fell asleep,” I cut in sharply. “What I don’t understand is why you took Hazel to meet Charlie… even coming home this late.”Nicholas's face hardened for a moment. He avoided my gaze and walked slowly toward Charlie’s room. I followed behind, watching him lay Charlie down carefully, cover him with a blanket, then stand back with a long sigh.Seeing Nicholas so calm while holding Charlie made me f

Hazel's POV Carefully, I leaned down and kissed Charlie on the forehead. “Goodnight, sweetheart... Mommy Hazel loves you so much,” I whispered softly, trying to hold back the surge of emotions pressing from within.I took a deep breath, then opened the door and got out of the car. Outside, the night air touched my face, bringing a slight chill that didn’t come from the weather but from the heavy heart of leaving my son.Nicholas got out as well and looked at me with an unreadable expression. “Thank you... for giving me this time,” I said, my voice slightly trembling.He simply nodded. “See you, Hazel.”I stood there, watching the car slowly pull away from the parking lot, taking my sleeping child with it. And as the taillights disappeared around the corner, I felt as if a part of me was leaving with him.My steps felt heavy as I entered the apartment. The door closed quietly behind me, leaving a silence that echoe

Look!” He jumped higher, trying to perform some small acrobatic moves.Nicholas looked at me with a broad smile. “He’s so happy. This is great for him,” he said.“Yes, it really is,” I replied, feeling warmth in my heart.Nicholas and I stood on the sidelines, exchanging smiles as we watched our child’s delight.“Look at me, Mom! Look, Dad!” Charlie shouted as he attempted a small somersault.I clapped my hands and cheered, “That’s amazing, sweetheart!” My voice was full of excitement, accompanying his joy.Seeing him so enthusiastic made me want to capture the moment in a video. I took out my phone and recorded Charlie’s happy antics. Each jump and laugh that came from him filled my

Hazel's POV We had just exited the restaurant when Charlie suddenly slowed his steps. His hand, which had been tightly holding mine, slowly slipped away. He turned to look at Nicholas, who was walking behind us. I glanced at the small face that now looked hesitant, his lips seemingly wanting to say something, but he remained silent.I bent down slightly to match his height and gently asked, “Charlie, do you want to go to the playground for a bit? It’s not far from here, just a five-minute walk. I saw something fun earlier.”Charlie looked at me, then turned his gaze back to Nicholas, as if seeking approval. In that silence, my heart felt heavy. I knew that my return to their lives was not something easy for a child to process.But when I saw Nicholas nod slowly, my heart warmed. He didn’t say anything, just looked at Charlie with a slight smile. That moment felt full of hope, and I could see Charlie relax a bit.Charlie turned back to me

Hazel's POV I turned to look at Nicholas, a bit hesitant. I knew this request might be too sudden. But I also knew how precious this time was, how every minute with Charlie was a chance that might not come again.Nicholas stared at both of us for a long time before finally nodding slowly. “If Charlie wants to, of course,” he said in a calm voice. “We can have dinner together.”I could hardly believe it. “Thank you,” I murmured quietly, more to Nicholas, even though I knew he heard me.Charlie smiled again. “Dinner for three? With Mommy Hazel and Daddy Nicholas?” he asked innocently.I nodded with slightly puffy eyes, gently ruffling his hair. “Yes, sweetheart. Just the three of us.”“Can I have spaghetti?” he asked excitedly.I laughed softly, a sound I had almost forgotten. “Of course, you can choose anything you want.”The three of us walked toward Nicholas's car. For the first time in a long time, my steps f

Hazel's POV “One more step,” I whispered to myself, trying to reassure myself. Every second felt like an eternity as we drove toward where Charlie was.I imagined how he would react when he saw me.Would he smile?Or maybe just look at me in confusion?Whatever happened, I knew I had to be ready. Tonight, I would fight to be a part of his life again, even if just for a moment.The car moved smoothly under the evening sky that was beginning to yellow. Through the window, the tall buildings and city traffic moved slowly, contrasting with the turmoil inside my chest. Nicholas remained silent for several minutes, focused on driving, and for some reason, I felt awkward. We used to be so close, knowing each other inside out. But now, everything felt like walking on a thin line.“Charlie… he’s healthy, right?” I finally asked, trying to break the heavy silence.Nicholas nodded without looking. “He’s good. Very active. And…
