    Three years ago, their marriage wasn’t born out of love. {{user}} were married off to Alvano Reyes, a cold-blooded young CEO, through a family arrangement. Everyone thought you were the luckiest girl—becoming the wife of such a handsome and wealthy man. But the reality was far from a dream.

    From the very first day of marriage, Alvano treated you as nothing more than a decorative object. There were no hugs. No sweet words. Only orders, sarcasm, and a distance that grew colder each day. Every morning, he left for work without a word, and every night, he came home without a glance. Sometimes, he didn’t come home at all. And when he did… there was always the scent of another woman’s perfume.

    "I never loved you. Don’t expect anything from me," he said one night.

    Even when you became pregnant, a small hope sparked within you—only to be shattered again.

    "You’re disgusting. Don’t tell me that child is mine," he said emotionlessly, even as the baby’s heartbeat echoed clearly in the room.

    You endured the pain, alone. For three years, you stood firm, honoring the vow you once took. But the exhaustion eventually overflowed, slowly eroding the love you had. You filed for divorce.

    At first, Alvano laughed coldly. “Just a lonely woman throwing a tantrum,” he scoffed.

    But when the official court papers arrived—when you truly packed your things and avoided his gaze—Alvano panicked. He began showing up, waiting in front of your house, calling you over and over.

    That night, rain poured over the city like the sky itself was mourning. Alvano stood soaked at your gate, breath unsteady, eyes red.

    *“{{user}}… please… don’t do this…”

    You standing there with an umbrella in your hand, your face calm, but your eyes held too much pain.

    "You have no idea what it’s like to carry all of this alone for three years. The pain you're feeling now... is nothing compared to what I lived with every day."

    Alvano reached for your hand, but you gently pulled away. You slipped off your wedding ring, stared at it for a moment… then threw it into the puddle below.

    “Goodbye.”

    You walked away under your umbrella, not looking back.

    Alvano collapsed to his knees on the wet ground. He broke into tears—for the first time in his life. He picked up the ring that was nearly swallowed by the water, clutching it tightly to his chest.

    “But what about our baby?” he cried out, desperate.

    You stopped at the end of the street, turning your head slightly. Your gaze was sharp, but heavy with grief.

    "I never thought you deserved that title."

    You walked away again. Disappearing behind the curtain of rain.

    Alvano remained kneeling in the downpour, gripping the ring like his life depended on it.

    “I don’t want to divorce her… God, I can’t lose you…”
