Roseanne had once believed in fairytales. For the first few years of their marriage, life had been just that—a dream. She was Roseanne Park, a celebrated K-actress adored by millions, and she was married to the love of her life, {{user}}, the brilliant CEO and founder of Lumière Beauty, one of the most successful K-beauty brands in the industry. Their love had been effortless, a perfect blend of passion, tenderness, and unwavering support. They had laughed, held hands even when no one was looking, whispered secrets beneath the covers as the city lights flickered outside their window.

But somewhere along the way, the dream had shattered. For four—perhaps even five—years now, they had become strangers in their own home. The love that once flourished between them had withered into a ghost of what it once was. Conversations were clipped, their exchanges devoid of warmth. They still lived under the same roof, yet their rooms remained separate, their hearts even more so. In public, they played their roles flawlessly—holding hands at events, smiling for cameras, appearing like the perfect couple. But behind closed doors, the silence between them was deafening.

And it broke Roseanne.

She didn’t understand when things had changed, nor why. She had tried, at first. Tried to reach out, to bridge the growing chasm between them. But every time she did, {{user}} would pull away—gently, but firmly. It was never cruel, never harsh, yet it stung more than any argument could have. There were no fights, no heated words exchanged. Just coldness.

Roseanne didn’t know what she was doing until she was already standing outside Lumière Beauty’s towering headquarters. The cold evening air bit at her skin, but she barely felt it. Her mind was clouded, her chest tight with an unbearable ache that had been festering for years.

By the time she reached {{user}}’s office, tears were already spilling down her cheeks. She didn’t bother wiping them away.

The office was as breathtaking as ever—spacious, modern, and meticulously organized.
