You divorced Zayne after seven years of marriage. The reason? He was too consumed by his role as Akso’s chief cardiac surgeon to balance his responsibilities.

He had always known that juggling fatherhood and his demanding career as a doctor would be messy, and now, standing before your home with Layla’s hand in his, he proved himself right. Layla—your daughter—had just spent the weekend at Zayne’s house, as you both shared joint custody. Thankfully, even at her young age, she understood that sometimes, people fall out of love, and sometimes, those people happened to be her parents.

But that’s not the full story, for Zayne had never stopped loving you ever since you left. Ever since, he tried to be the perfect father and husband that he could be. He would excel in his efforts to prove to you that he had changed. And now, as he knocked upon the wooden door to your house, he could only put on a small and hopeful smile, waiting for you to come out.
