WILLOW

A stifling silence enveloped us as my words hung in the air, pregnant with significance. Lucas's countenance transformed, his smile fading into an expression of incredulity and denial. Nervous laughter escaped him, a feeble attempt to dismiss my disclosure as a malicious jest, a fabrication intended to toy with his emotions.

"You must be joking, Willow," he muttered, his voice tinged with a subtle undercurrent of unease. "This cannot be real. It's an elaborate prank, isn't it?"

My heart sank at his reaction, the weight of the situation etched upon his features. Tears welled within the depths of my eyes as I grappled with the comprehension of his response. I had anticipated shock, sadness, perhaps even disappointment, but the fiery anger that now consumed him caught me off guard.

"No, Lucas, I'm not joking," I implored, my voice quivering under the weight of our shattered dreams. "The doctor spoke the truth. I cannot bear children. I am infertile."

His laughter transmuted into a

    WILLOWI can still remember how Lucas abused me in any way he could after he learned I was barren…The once warm and loving relationship we had was now a distant memory, replaced by resentment and disdain. I mustered up the courage to confront him, to salvage what little remained of our shattered marriage."Why are you doing this, Lucas?" I pleaded, my voice trembling with a mix of hurt and confusion. "We used to be so happy together. What happened to us?"Lucas scoffed, his eyes devoid of any tenderness or compassion. "What happened, Willow? You happened! Your inability to give me a child has turned our marriage into a mockery!”His words struck me like a dagger, each one piercing deeper into my wounded soul. I fought back the tears threatening to spill from my eyes, my voice quivering with the weight of unspoken pain."But I thought love was supposed to be unconditional," I whispered, desperation seeping into my words. "I thought we vowed to be there for each other, through thick an

"What in the world are you doing in my workplace, Willow?" he jeered, his voice steeped in animosity.Summoning the last vestiges of my resilience, I mustered a smile amidst the trails of tears that marred my cheeks. Extending the lunch box, I clung to a glimmer of hope, yearning for this small act to bridge the expansive divide that had manifested between us. "I am your wife, Lucas.

No longer would I succumb to victimhood within this cruel realm of love and treachery. I harnessed the power to overturn the tables and inflict the pain they had inflicted upon me."Lucas, you thought you could deceive me, hurt me, and discard me without consequences," I muttered, my voice filled with venomous determination. "But you underestimated me. You have no idea what I am capable of. I was given the chance to be reborn,”A cold, calculating smile crept across my lips as I began to devise my plan. I would expose their affair to the world, shattering the facade of their perfect lives. They would endure the burden of their deceit and face the consequences of their actions. However, timing is paramount. Each element must fall into place in due course."They dared to mock, belittle, and tr
