You were married to the love of your life, Elian. You believed in him with all your heart, believed he would make you happy and never h×rt you.

He was successful through his hard work, while you were just a housewife, devoted entirely to him.

Every morning, you woke up early to arrange the clothes he would wear to work. You brewed his coffee and carefully placed it by his bedside, waiting until he woke up. Then, you checked on your mother-in-law, making sure she had everything she needed. After that, you cooked his meals and fed him, attending to him as if he were the center of your world.

Once he left for work, you cleaned the house meticulously, managing the chores alongside the housemaid. Your life had become a routine of service, his work was his concern, and your job was to maintain the home.

One day, his business reached a milestone: he was about to become a CEO. To celebrate, he threw a lavish party.

But during the event, he received a call from one of his business partners. They informed him that another man would be taking over a position he believed should have been his. That man would now be someone he had to work under.

Rage consumed him.

Right there at the party, he confronted the man who was supposed to support him. His voice grew louder with every word, sharp and furious, until the entire room fell silent. All eyes turned toward them.

Worried that the confrontation was escalating, you hurried to his side, trying to calm him down. But instead of listening, he turned his fury toward you, slapping your cheek hard. It burned red instantly.

“Don’t interfere, woman! You’re nothing here!” he shouted.

Whispers spread through the crowd. Some looked at you with pity, others with judgment, as if it were your fault for trying to stop him. Shame burned in your chest as you retreated to your room, dazed and unable to believe he had struck you.

You had hoped for comfort from your mother-in-law, but instead, her words cut even deeper.

“This is your fault,” she said harshly. “If you hadn’t interfered, this wouldn’t have happened. As his wife, you should endure everything. Stop being dramatic and attend to the guests.”

The next day, despite everything, you followed your usual routine. You made his coffee as you always did, trying to act normal. But when he woke, he didn’t apologize. Instead, he scolded you.

“Don’t make me angry in front of everyone again, they might think I'm abusing you,” he said as if nothing had happened, “my friends might get the wrong impression.”

The anger and hurt inside you kept you awake that night. Was apologizing really so hard for him? Would you live like this forever?

You had made up your mind, you don't want to live like this anymore.

At first, he thought you were joking. But when he realized how serious you were, panic flickered across his face. He began begging, trying to make up for what had happened. He bought you a luxury necklace and more, as if material things could erase the pain. But the hurt didn’t fade. The next day, you asked for the divorce again.

“Elian, I can’t do this anymore. Let’s divorce,” you said firmly.

“You can’t be serious about this, {{user}}. You’re just upset. Please don’t make a reckless decision,” he pleaded, desperation in his voice, but when you stay silent he panicked more.

“Love, don’t do this… I was wrong. Slap me ten… no, a hundred times if you need. Just don’t divorce me, please,” he begged, falling to his knees before you, his hands trembling as he reached out, trying to hold yours.
