She took a deep breath before pressingthe doorbell.The door began to open slowly and Vivian was greeted by Mrs Rose, who welcomed her with a warm hug."Welcome back Vivian, it's been too long. How was your trip?"

She had spent many holidays and family gatherings in this room, laughing and chatting with her husband Jerry and his parents.But now, things were different. She was no longer the happy bride she had imagined herself to be on her wedding day. Instead, she was a broken woman, betrayed and hurt by the man she had thought she would spend the rest of her life with."Please have a seat, Vivian," Mr Will said, motioning to the couch.Vivian sat down, taking a deep breath as Mrs Rose

"I've been better," she admitted.Mr Will brought Vivian a glass of water and they all sat down in the living room."Vivian, we're so sorry about what happened on your wedding night," Mr Will began. "Jerry's behavior was completely unacceptable."Vivian nodded, tears in her eyes. "I never expected him to do something like that to me."Mrs Rose rubbed her back soothingly. "It must have been a terrible shock.""It was," Vivian agreed. "And since then, things just haven't been the same between us.""Have you talked to Jerry about how you feel?" Mr Will aske

Mr Will Driver pulled the car into the driveway of Jerry's house, and Vivian, Mr Will, and Mrs Rose got out of the car.Jerry was waiting at the door, his face a mixture of excitement and apprehension. He had always been close to Vivian, and when he heard that she was coming back to town, he couldn't resist asking her to stay with him.Butas Mr Will had warned him, he knew that there were conditions attached. He was nervous about what those conditions would be, but he knew he had to accept them if he wanted Vivian to stay with him."Welcome, everyone," Jerry said, smiling nervously. "Please, come in."As they walked inside, Vivian couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. This was the house she grew up in, and even though it had been years since she had last seen it, everything looked the same.Mrs Rose looked around the house with a critical eye before speaking up. "It's a lovely home you have here, Jerry. But I hope you understand the gravity of the situation."Jerry nodded. "Yes,

As the door closed behind Mr. Will and Mrs. Rose, Vivian and Jerry stood in silence, staring at each other. The weight of theirconversation still heavy in the air.Finally, Vivian spoke up. "Jerry, is what you said true? Can I really believe that you will take care of me and treat me as your wife?"Jerry looked into Vivian's eyes, hisown expression serious and sincere. "Yes, Vivian.

Vivian sat across from Jerry, arms crossed tightly across her chest. She had asked him why he wanted her back, why he thought things couldbe any different now. Jerry took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say."Vivian, I realized that I treated you terribly. I was so focused on my career and myself that I didn't give youthe love and attention you deserved. I was wrong, and I want to make it right. I want to accept you as my wife again, and do everything I can to make our marriage work. Will you please give me another chance?"Vivian's expression remained stoic, her arms still crossed. "Jerry, you don't understand. Our marriage is over for me. You hurt me deeply, and I can't just forget that. How do I know you won't treat me the same way again?" she asked.Jerry sighed and leaned in closer. "You're right, Vivian. I can't change the past. But I promise you, I've learned from my mistakes. I know now how important it is to put you first. To be there for you in every

Vivian sat across from Jerry in the dimly lit restaurant, fidgeting with her napkin on the table. She took a deep breathas she looked up at him. "So, why do you want me back, Jerry?" she asked, her voice cool and distant.Jerry shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes flickering between her and the menu card. "I,uh...I realized that the way I treated you was bad. I wasn't the best husband, and I didn't treat you with the respect and love that you deserved," he finally said, his voice low and apologetic.Vivian let out a dry laugh, her eyes glinting with anger. "You think that just admitting your mistake and apologizing will solve everything, Jerry?""No, of course not," Jerry replied quickly, shaking his head. "I know I messed up, Vivian. I know that I hurt you, and I'm sorry."Vivian leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest. "You know what, Jerry? Your apology isn't enough," she said firmly. "You cheated on me, lied to me, and made me feel worthless. I can't just

What happened?" she asked, confused."I've realized that I'm in love with you, Vivian," Jerry said, his voice barely above a whisper.V
