WILLOW

Tears streamed down my face, my body trembling with a mixture of heartache and anger. How could they? How could Lucas, the man I vowed to love and cherish, betray me in such a callous manner? And his own family, who had never accepted me, now embraced this woman with open arms?! The pain of their collective betrayal weighed heavily on my spirit, threatening to drag me into a bottomless abyss of despair.

I clutched my chest, struggling to catch my breath as the realization of the magnitude of their deception washed over me. The marriage I believed in, the love I thought we shared, was nothing more than an illusion!

Now I feel glad that my mother-in-law killed me. I had the chance to be reborn and see the circumstances that happened in my life. I was too dumb. Too naive. Too stupid! I had been nothing but a pawn in their game, a trophy wife meant to satisfy their desires and uphold their image!
